#rather it be too big than too small

[feroluce]

So I went to the wiki page for the henghill Bullet & Brain mission of 2.2 looking for some dialogue I had missed and

a) I found something incredibly tasty that slotted into some other thoughts I'd been having, more on that on another day, and

b) I saw this super fun little trivia at the bottom, which!

I knew Penacony characters like Boothill took a lot of inspirations from old movies, but I didn't realize it was even in his and Dan Heng's relationship, that's so cool!!

It fits them very well, it's such a fun reference. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was an old buddy Western film (from 1969- nice) about a pair of outlaws. Butch Cassidy was the leader of a gang, and described as clever, affable, and talkative. Meanwhile, his closest companion, the Sundance Kid, was known as a man of few words.

Cassidy's original birth name was much more plain, but similar to Boothill, he took on a new moniker when he became an outlaw. "Cassidy" had been the last name of his beloved mentor, who taught him how to shoot and ride. And Sundance Kid was known as he was because Sundance was the name of his hometown, and it was the only place that had ever managed to catch and jail him, back when he'd been younger (also similar to Dan Heng, but ouch).

These two stick together like glue throughout the length of the film- through Cassidy's leadership of the gang being challenged, through a train robbery gone wrong, through being pursued by mercenaries, and even through fleeing to Bolivia and trying to start over together.

I don't want to say too much more, since the mission title is referencing one specific movie that I've never seen. I kinda wanna watch it now, though, just to see the inspiration that went into Boothill and Dan Heng and how they get along. I just think it's really sweet that these two were literally made to be the best of bros, how lovely is that. 💕

i just want to put them in the same room and see what happens

Anyway they can change between being tiny and human sized. And when they're tinier they can only be seen by the other fae or their selected humans. So if you just passed Noll on the street while Shavuli was perched on his shoulder chatting away you wouldn't see or hear her.

watching a brutal horror movie but my neighbor has resumed stomping around in what I imagine to be shoes made of bricks so I can no longer empathize with the victim and instead im forced to imagine brutal torture carried out by yours truly

I mean, I have to ask about Dorothy, Blanche and Rose for that names/number game 😅 as for the numbers, I’ll go for 5 and 6!

Yay, thanks for the ask! OK here we go!

5. go on a six hour road trip with (no car radio, you choose who drives), sit next to on a six hour plane flight, sit across from on a six hour train journey

I hate travelling so this is hard. Like I literally take 3 ear options (wireless earbuds, wired earbuds and loop earplugs) just to keep me calm and not overwhelmed. I've only flown twice, but I do love a wee train trip...as long as I have something in my ears.

OK, Dorothy and I in the car. I can't drive so she would have to do that. I think that would work out OK. We could probably sing show tunes or analyse a good poet together. (I'd be raving about Carol Ann Duffy, let's be honest).

There is no way you could get me in an airport. Even in a hypothetical, I just wouldn't go near an airport. So, I guess private plane with Blanche. She comes from old money, right? That could work. She could afford that.

Rose and I are on the train but also I would be in my own world. Probably writing or reading. At some point she'd ask about my tangle fidget and I'd reluctantly speak with her because she's got a kind face.

6. go clothes shopping with, go to ikea with, go grocery shopping with

Dorothy and I are going clothes shopping together. That's easy, I think we have the most comparable styles.

Blanche and I would go to Ikea. I've only been twice but I think Rose would get too distracted then again it does have a lot of mirrors so maybe not perfect.

Rose and I would go grocery shopping instead. In this hypothetical, I'm taking her to Lidl and showing her the bakery section and the middle aisle because I think she'd love to be able to buy cheesecake brownies and then also a painting set.

you know at the end of the day today i was chatting w some other paras. i was a special ed para for a seventh grader today that's what i did. and the last block for them is just learning center and it's chill and it's friday and some of the kids were making pizza and no one was really doing anything or stressed or bothered so the kids and the adults just have various little shooting-the-breeze sessions although im usually not that active in these bc Im Shy, And A Substitute so i feel very out of place a lot of the time. but anyway i had never really talked much w either of the paras i was with today and we struck up a conversation about some stuff and one of them says to me "you know just so you know i LOVE your hair" and she turns to the other para and she's like "isnt it gorgeous? dont you love her hair?"

and i kinda blushed and said thank you a couple of times and looked down bc that's what i do when i receive a sincere-sounding compliment unexpectedly. and then i chatted a little more before i kinda drifted out of the conversation and opened my book and after a page or two one of them asked me about what i was reading (it's Song of the Cell: An Exploration of Medicine and the New Human by Siddhartha Mukherjee if you were wondering and i started it a few days ago). so i told them a bit about it and started chatting again on the topic of reading and i guess i was just naturally smiling and the same one who complimented my hair said "look at those dimples. i just can't w you"

did not get a chance to write at all today even though my job usually has at least some downtime at some point and i feel too tired to do anything besides play around with what I already have…..but also thinking wow why do i still think writing everyday = some kind of pillar of consistency i should strive to when im trying to have a plentiful writing month. when the hottest kind of consistency in art is the type you let adapt to ur circumstances…..like me scheduling break days around my work schedule and writing days around my days off IS consistency !!!! consistency is not just how consistent you write but also how consistent you are with meaningful rest i think……

where do you find people to talk to online who don't suck, asking for a friend

i think. when jesper does get skilled enough to reform and reshape things around them.. it takes a bit for them to be able to show it to folks. jesper is very aware of her lack of training, and the things she makes are not at all perfectly done, and she prickles a lot at the concept of rejection or someone insulting her work. and when she DOES show her work, she tries to assert it in the most casual way possible and not make a huge deal out of it so it’s not drawn to attention but. i think one of the best things for them in terms of their mindset is people complimenting/being in awe about their work but not putting the focus hugely on it
