just read (from an extremely unreliable source) that booth had wanted to give his diamond stickpin to one of secretary seward’s maids who he had a thing for. which is extremely unlikely, (the source also suggests that booth might have already given the pin to her, which is why it wasn’t found on his body—a claim that i have a whole host of issues with) BUT. it does make me even more insane to think that booth had wanted to give the pin to a girl he was in love with, but had promised it to david instead.

or that david knew that booth wanted to give the pin to a girl he was in love with, and tried to claim it for himself after booth’s death.

Giving Limbo a blackboard and chalk in an age where everyone uses glass tablets and holograms is so so so endearing to me. Quills and parchment type of guy. He just needs to write an entire blackboard full with one equation as enrichment. I think Ordis can handle the dust just fine as far as filters go but maybe less so in terms of mental fortitude

You see, according to my lavos (Higgins), the correct amount of containers into which to put science is "one more." He also has shitall concept of personal space and a tendency to forget that his complicated thought processes are not universal, so now he's banned from mugs. Luckily the mug that North (drifter) had grabbed only had yeast in it that Higgins got from an ostron for science reasons, but it's still not a fun thing to knock back instead of the chimurr you were expecting at like 6 in the morning

so we have previously established that limbo & lavos would be science besties, right

i propose:

limbo has cat energy: acts like he knows everything but is in fact a bit of a dumbass outside his exact field of expertise, will nap in weird places

lavos has dog energy: will lick the science, outdoorsy (science field trips), makes friends easy

people who act like heartstopper's existence as a cute, sappy, teenage queer show is actively preventing other types of queer representation from existing in media are the worst

everybodys all lets condemn people with Morally Impure Interests until all of a sudden you have an interest that is suddenly considered Impure and wanes in and out of Public Opinion for many years because nobody actually knows how to think for themselves online. personally i think we'd all be very lonely if we chose and broke friendships based on.... What Video Games They Like and like absolutely nothing else regarding the person's character

To the anons letting me know I've mistakenly reblogged from some blogs I'd rather not: thank you. Relevant posts have been deleted. I haven't been as thorough as I used to be.

Anyway, hope y'all are doing well!

shittty anime again

Just got done rewatching the l*vi backstory ovas and jesus christ that whole ordeal is such a massive condemnation of the s*rvey corps (<= idk what people be searching) on multiple levels its actually insane. Like. The idea that you could come out of that being like wow what a tragic and harrowing ordeal l*vi is so cool and strong and brave etc and not like WHAT THE FUCK... GET HIM OUT OF HERE!!!! The way erw*n masterminded this whole plot to blackmail him into service and then indirectly got his family killed over LITERALLY NOTHING functionally ruining his whole life and then like. Rubbing in the fact that he has nowhere else to go like his plan was just to secure this talent by any means necessary (WHICH IT PRETTY MUCH WAS?) It is literally horrific 😭 and the fact that it ends with l*vi being like At The End Of The Day No One Ever Knows What Will Happen In A Situation... so I guess I'll follow this guy until I die?

I think it's amazing how someone can touch another's heart so profoundly without either of them having necessarily known each other or even having directly interacted.

If you prefer the newer seasons of ninjago over the older seasons (pilot-s5/s7) we are fundamentally different people

It is still immensely funny to us that if we cherry-pick the notes of that one "unpopular whump opinion" post hard enough we can say we've never written a whump fic in our life. There's an immense variety of opinions and definitions of "whump" out there, and a great number of opinionated people, and all of this rainbow of thoughts and opinions gives enough variety that if we throw together enough random, contradictory rules, we can just define the genre out of existence entirely. Truly, this is what all genre writers aspire for.

While a lot of knights have multiple names or titles we know of numerous knights that were as far as we can tell ‘Made the fuck up’. Like we know Galahad is made up, he’s a take on the Grail Knight yes, but the Grail first appears in Perceval and Perceval might be made up wholesale by Chrétien de Troyes (in fact while welsh poems reference a similar figure all references we have post date the Troyes story).

I mean Palomedes first appears as the antagonist of a 13th century fanfic about Sir Tristan. Like absolutely these guys have a lot of names? But they also just got made up, because it was fun and cool.

Like there are definitely knights who might be from earlier myths, but also they might just be made up, and there are knights who were certainly made up later on.

You can just make up Knights of the Round Table by the way. People used to do it all the time.

hbomberguy’s latest video on plagiarism has made me completely rethink literature and writing. I have never once so much as considered intentionally plagiarizing anyone or anything, but I think there’s something more that has come out of this: the names of the people who created the works Somerton (and others) ripped off.

Plagiarism isn’t only bad because it is lazy and disrespectful, it’s bad because it buries the truth. If you can’t find a source, the conversation is over. Somerton’s sources are fairly easy to find by simply searching his plagiarized lines, but that isn’t true in most cases. Most of the time, the line from statement to source is a lot less clear.

Today, I was writing a report on English Ivy, which is an invasive species here in the US. I wanted to know when it was introduced and I at last found a source claiming it was introduced to the Americas “as early as 1727” on a .net website that seems quite reputable (it has multiple major universities credited in its home page), but there is no citation for where this date came from. I dug deeper and found a pamphlet created by a city government in Virginia that made the same claim, only to discover the first source linked in their bibliography. Another website (a botanical garden’s page) gave the same date with the same source hyperlinked. Of course, I have classes to attend and things to do and probably not enough time to follow the lines back to where this 1727 date came from, but if I had not just watched this video, I wouldn’t have given that date a second thought.

Of course, it doesn’t matter in the long run exactly what year hedera helix was introduced to the Americas, but it makes you wonder how many facts have been so vaguely attributed that it becomes completely impossible to figure out where they originated (and further, whether or not they’re true at all).
