#than fucking LAUREN

[threebooksoneplot]

i don't understand why she named lady laurent 'lauren' when laurence is right there!! it's literally the french female version of laurent!! genuinely has been bugging me since the first mention of lauren in life and death.

Probably because most American English-speakers think of "Laurence" as a last name or a man's name (me (G) included! It's one of those ones like Esmé/Esmée where it's really only crossed the pond for one gender.)

Of course, that doesn't explain why she didn't use "Laure" or the less-French-but-even-more-obvious (to Americans) "Laura." Chalk it up to general ignorance and unwillingness to do research. I guess SOMEbody's never heard of Nameberry's advanced search feature (where dear ole Stephenie could have selected "Girl" + "starts with L" + "French origin" and gotten dozens of options) or Behindthename, on which an alphabetized list of French names is like, the second clickable thing on the homepage.

Rainy evenings in Twinford ☂️🌧️🪰

[Image description: Digital fanart of the Ruby Redfort book series, featuring Ruby and Hitch standing in the rain.

Hitch is a dark-haired man vaguely resembling Gregory Peck, wearing a suit and smart overcoat. He holds an umbrella over Ruby and himself, and looks down at her carefully out of the corner of his eye.

Ruby is a teenage girl with brown hair, bright red glasses and 1970s clothes. She is tilting her head in curiosity and reaching one hand out from under the umbrella to feel the rain.

The next two images are close-ups of each face. /End description]

I literally woke up in the middle of the night like God will dark rise is so fucking screwed. The line that’s like. “Everyone wanted to kill the Dark King.” What’s the part where he looks at Violet helplessly, haunted, almost pleading for mercy? But of course he reveals nothing of substance to anyone. Elizabeth is too young to understand but the reader knows what “Her relationship with that boy was…unnatural” can mean. Tying him to bedposts? Failing to strangle him? What else? Never not even once seeing beyond a mythological identity Will himself didn’t know he had? What did he think was the reason? That he was just intrinsically hateful? Of course he says nothing. Of course Violet can’t trust him- he’s given her nothing as painfully real as what she’s given him. So he gives her the sword hoping at least he can die at the hands of someone he loved, but even that doesn’t work out - she gives the sword to a Visander still furious at SARCEAN. The pattern continues; no one looks at Will, who vomits when he realizes what’s happened to James, Will who is much of a liar and killer and sneak as Elizabeth accuses but nonetheless wants to be different. Even when he doesn’t remember his own past. There’s no way out for him that doesn’t hurt. Hope this obsession passes soon given the one and a half years of waiting required for book 3

Nightmare Time 3:

if we ever get a NMT3 (🤞), not that I want to see the return of the abusive husband character cause he can choke and die, but like… Becky leaves Stanley to die in the Witchwood.

Emma says it in Perky’s Buds and it’s reinforced in Abstinence Camp with Little Jerry

“Things grow here. They grow fast, and big, and different.”

And uhhhhh, the dead don’t really die in Hatchetfield always and a person who’s not CONFIRMED to be dead? I cannot help but wonder if he’s been mutated by the Witchwood and still out there and I think that could be a compelling episode centered around Becky/Tom and Tim. The thought ‘He’s still alive’ has quite literally not left my brain since I first watched the digital ticket of Black Friday and Becky said how she ‘killed’ him.

kevin & lauren & what was.

[mudstoneabyss]

how are they ever gonna do a db ep again (if they even plan on it and that wasn't meant to be a wrap on it 😐) without Lauren. there are so little db chars and she's a Very Significant one who's always been there and yknow has a very close relationship with Kevin (even if that relationship is frenemies). it'd feel like if they went ok so Carlos left Night Vale forever now 🖤

thinking about hamilton and burr together but not in a kissing way but in a you are so different on surface but are made of the same core way. they have the same sort of wants and hurt but they project it in such different ways.

Genuinely so confused by how many of the people who proudly join me in headcanoning B*rney C*lhoun as bi are the same people who get really, really mad if you ship him with a woman. Do y’all know not what bi means, or…?
