Hey

would you still love me if i conducted the electric city

I'm listening to the Hadestown soundtrack for the first time and about two thirds of the way through I was like "wow this is really good! I hope nothing bad happens to these characters and they get a happy ending!" as if I don't know how the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice goes

Waiting for the second book in a series to come from the library and I have been overtaken by the slow creeping dread that two of the main characters who are really close and have known and trusted each other for years might fall in love. Like, is all this stuff about caring about each other a lot actually supposed to signify they have romantic feelings? Did I completely misread the vibe by assuming they had an intense platonic mentor-mentee relationship? I live in fear.

after several minutes of furious calculating, i have figured out that as long as i get a 35/50 or higher on my essay, i can keep my a in the class

why don't the catholics have a venerated saint of yuri

just binged all of the amazing digital circus (all of the episodes that are out rn anyway) for the first time and it was absolutely agonizing watching the beach episode while already familiar with the chinese room thought expirement

thank god for siblings who else could i send an unprompted picture of my icky blood-soaked gauze post wisdom teeth surgery

thinking about the implications and ramifications of the fmab seven deadly sins in a world that does not appear to have catholicism. did some other religion come up with the concept? bc i would love that lore. i can't remember if anyone ever looks at the homunculi and goes "oh hey they embody the seven deadly sins" but if nobody does then ig it's possible father came up with them all on his own and no one has any idea what he's talking about. Interesting that the seven deadly sins are so ubiquitous that it doesn't even seem that odd or incongruous for the concept to exist in a world without catholicism.

Started Frankenstein, and he keeps talking about how it was fate and destiny that led him to commit horrific acts of scientific hubris ultimately ending with his downfall, but like. I feel like if even a single professor at that university knew what he was doing at least some of this disaster could have been avoided
