The table between the windows was covered with work-boxes and netting-boxes which had been given her at different times, principally by Tom; and she grew bewildered as to the amount of the debt which all these kind remembrances produced. Mansfield Park, Ch 26

I love the fact that Fanny is always being given many duplicate sewing materials by Tom, who seems to know nothing about her past that she sews because this is so typical.

I tend to be given "art stuff" because people know I paint. People know my husband likes the Maple Leafs (hockey team) so we always get random Maple Leafs stuff. In Canada, the most common generic gift is a Tim Hortons gift card (coffee shop founded by a hockey player) because everyone loves coffee right? We have a stack of them because we rarely go. If you are a woman, I know you’ve been given Generic Box of Matching Smelly Soaps TM.

Fanny is feeling grateful for gifts that are generic and duplicates, she is really kind to her cousins. I'm polite in person before I plan my regifting...

#fanny price #mansfield park #Generic Box of Matching Smell Soaps TM #you know you've gotten one #and maybe even used it #work-boxes #tom bertram #i don't usually regift these are the type of gifts that come from people who don't know you #like a boss or family friend #though once i got chocolate soaps and they werwle genuinely awesome #jane austen #it is such a part of the human condition #getting gifts based on the one trait people remember about you

can u imagine riding Simon and he tells you a shitty joke because he likes seeing you smile and you’re all giggly like

“Don’t make me laugh with your dick in me”

but you actually do love it when he smiles and gets a lil silly too. You throw a couple of bad jokes at him but he has a full arsenal of bad jokes so you’re out matched but it’s okay, you two just enjoy the sweet, tender moment together 🩷

#simon riley x reader #ghost x reader #I sometimes wrote bad jokes on the takeaway boxes at work it’s fun #and a sweet tender moment with ghost?? 😭😭👌

The only people in the novel Dracula who aren't having the worst time of their life are the guys who moved the earth boxes because they have consistently gotten free drinks from the random lawyer who's very interested the boxes.

#Box mover: It was very thirsty work! in fact I'm still thirsty!#Johnathan Harker: oh you poor man let me buy you a drink #re dracula #dracula daily #dracula

"i need to stop spending so much money on lunch" ➡ "maybe i could just buy some nice canned soups for easy lunches that don't make me sad" ➡ "why is canned soup so expensive" ➡ "i can just make some fucking soup" ➡ i don't actually feel like making soup ➡ i order a calzone ➡ "i need to stop spending so much money on lunch"

#original #THE ETERNAL CYCLE #in my defense a calzone from the local place is like eight bucks and lasts two days #anyway. i'm going to do it. i'm going to buy a big box of spaghettios for work.#i can start having salads again when the little hydroponic garden provides me with greenery

people are pushing against the overly ~wholesome~ fandom culture of the 2010s but they're going too hard and swinging in the opposite direction. now for something to be considered *good* it has to be Dark and Edgy and Complicated and Toxic. and ppl feel the need to justify their liking something with "no it's actually like suuuper dark".

...and that's how you get people calling farcille "toxic yuri".

#eliot posts #dunme #and you COULD address the actual problems in their relationship ie marcille treating falin like a child or trying to put her into a box #but those are less cool-toxic and more just. shit they need to communicate about and work through #and anyway when ppl refer to them as toxic yuri they're pretty much never referring to that shit #they're talking about the necromancy and the themes of consumption #that's not toxic yuri. that's gothic yuri at most.
