889 pages after the waterloo digression and he gives you this look:

Qu'on nous permette de recourir, pour la clarté du récit, au moyen simple déjà employé par nous pour Waterloo. (t. II, IV, 12, I, p. 438)

uh-oh. don't do it vicky! we just had 26 pages on the historical day 5 june 1832, we don't need another waterloo (70-page play-by-play commentary on a historical event in which our characters barely feature) on top of that!

Les personnes qui voudront se représenter d'une manière assez exacte les pâtés de maisons qui se dressaient à cette époque près la pointe Saint-Eustache, à l'angle nord-est des halles de Paris, où est aujourd'hui l'embouchure de la rue Rambuteau, n'ont qu'à se figurer, touchant la rue Saint-Denis par le sommet et par la base les halles, une N dont les deux jambages verticaux seraient la rue de la Grande-Truanderie et la rue de la Chanvrerie et dont la rue de la Petite-Truanderie ferait le jambage transversal. (ibid., pp. 438-439)

oh, so it was just a reference to his method of describing the relative locations of a bunch of streets by comparing them to a capital letter of the alphabet.

saying this, she casually threw a large cobblestone at la garde municipale.

Worcestershire Sauce’s Secret Ingredient

#Soy is the secret ingredient in #Worcestershiresauce #Worcestersauce

The precise ingredients of Lea and Perrins’ sauce remain a closely guarded secret, the bottle’s labelling being both helpful and vague. It lists malt vinegar, spirit vinegar, molasses, sugar, salt, anchovies, tamarind extract, onions, garlic, and various assorted and unnamed spices and flavourings, but there is no indication of quantities used.  The replacement of walnut pickle and mushroom…

Okay but the thing about veilguard reviews is I don’t care what the gaming review sites think. I especially don’t care what some random ytuber who’s probably just grifting right wing nutjobs for easy money and has never actually played the games before thinks. I don’t even care what an unrelated but accomplished rpg dev thinks

The only opinions I want to hear are from 7 trustworthy sickos (affectionate) who had their brain chemistry permanently altered over a decade ago by critically hated yet loved by me specifically video game Dragon Age 2, and only after I hear those opinions will I decide if I’m buying it or not

Joshua Twewy truly the character of all time because Joshua Twewy can be anything. He can be your princess he can be your cringefail loser he can be your wet kitten he can be your homoerotic teen friendship he can be your evil mastermind he can be your tortured meow meow he can be a girlboss he can be your bubblegum bitch.

Perfectly written to be open to interpretation. The amount of times you'll be talking to a twewy fan and the Josh Topic will come up and they'll just go "no no no, here's what Joshua's deal actually is."

And then proceed to pull a completely unique and textually supported Josh Take out of seemingly thin air.

Breathtaking.

Elyes/Elias gave Pat head, so I forgive him for all his rich boy antics.

Elyes is a giver . . . of forehead kisses, blowjobs, and problems. He is multi-talented.

He is also light. Even though he is still grumpy, he is the lightest he has been after having sex with Pat.

So, of course, this Black Brooder has to ruin it by being mean and distant to his Happy Human secretary since he cannot sort out his feelings.

He demands to see Kim and puts back on the black like its armor, yet he takes it off and hands it to Kim once it's clear Kim is there for sex.

And he shows up to grab his drunk Happy Human who, just like Elyes, has shed his jacket and color throughout the night.

Both of them are lost in whatever is happening between them. Pat is grey. Elyes is light.

And the mood is just right for head . . . kisses? Kisses on the head! And tears.

Nothing happens, and Pat wakes up in a different grey shirt because not having sex only makes everything murkier.

But just like before when Elyes stayed the night, he remains light.

Well, at least until he gets back to work.

He is upset that Pat didn't stay home, and that Pat is interviewing a person who will probably become his replacement.

Because no matter how light these other boys are, none of them can replace Pat.

And I think that pisses Elyes off; therefore, he must brood.

Pat has always been the balance Elyes needs, but now that the line between them has been crossed, neither one of them knows how to act.

Is this a moment to bite off each other's heads, to give head kisses, or to give head? The Wattpad BL doesn't know and neither do the characters.

So Pat is going to quit in an effort to distance himself from the man who is making his world darker.

And Elyes is going to brood about it.

not enough conversation around how voting is literally just an extremely fun activity to engage in. i remember being a kid with my parents in a red wagon waiting for hours after dark at the polls everyone talking to each other. and even now like. i just voted so there was no wait (never is day of anymore) and i helped three people decide which ballot they wanted to use, we cheered twice for first time voters, there were only like ten people total there but we all hugged each other and laughed like. HELLO??????? its fun!!!! participating is fun, actively engaging is fun, being around your community is fun!

Best advice I can give to any introvert dreading a social situation is to sing in the car on your way there. Like seriously

It warms up vocal cords so you don't have a quiet or shaky voice.

It warms up face and mouth muscles so that you have clear diction (especially if you've got some fast rap songs on your playlist.

Singing relieves stress and lowers your blood pressure. So you will be cool and calm.

It also pumps you full of endorphins so that you're happy af when you get there.

AAAAAAAAAA I love the fact that once he realizes that his brothers know who he is, that everything becomes 100% more personal now!!!!

He's no longer holding up the facad of "The Neon Void" he's now just Leo to them, despite the fact that he's struggling to keep that part of him intact because of the parasite. The Leo part of him LOVES his brothers, he adores them to bits, he copes with humorous bad jokes and craves familiarity of family and home.

The Krang parasite is an apathetic well... parasite! It has one goal, which find the key, free the orange. Which was his goal too? But he wanted to destroy the key, only using the Parasite to keep him alive (barely), make him stronger, and lead him to the key.

Which is why I was so easy being Neon Void!! Because he's no longer the Leo his brothers knew, so it was easy, they wouldn't have to know how far he's strayed from being Leo! Every aspect that is so agonizingly him has been twisted and broken into something manged that resembles who he used to be and is.

But now they know, and they see Leo, but they also see how unsettlingly different he is, how not Leo he is, but he's still Leo right?

This is no longer some stupidly powerfully psycotic maniac who knows more than he should, shrouded in mystery. That's their brother, who's been stuck in a hellscape for five years to rot. That grief was what he was trying to avoid, and yet he still opened that door up in the end anyways as their greatest fear and deepest hope come true.

(sorry if this is slightly incoherent I've been thinking about this an awful lot lately RAAHHH)

you nailed it on the head my friend

thinking about very gay southern classic picture fried green tomatoes, wherein a klansman is fed to another klansman. they run the scene back a second time in the end just in case you weren't sure that's what happened the first time you saw it, because they are very considerate and want to make sure you know they fed a klansman to a klansman. which is what you do when the man the lesbian love of your gay life has married turns out to be a klansman, you feed him to another klansman.
