Random Relevant Ramblings

Look at this face. This is "mad scientist's beautiful daughter (who is also a mad scientist) who is going to marry the hero and then horrifically betray him, killing their son in the process and then later turning their daughter into a vessel for her fucked up plans to achieve immortality" for SURE.

clockwork, large hams, and mad science galore

Now, who else do we cast?

You can always add another layer of garments and/or blankets (although moving gets tricky eventually), but there is an upper limit to the number of layers you can take off.

truly we allow the pinnacles of human achievement to wither and collapse into ashes in the wind

i am losing my fucking mind

"Ms." - prounounced MIZ, btw - is a third option popularized by gloria steinem in the 70s - mainly through her feminist magazine Ms. - which is meant to be a neutral term, usable for any and all women regardless of marital status (hence the soul destroying irony of the tags above). it gained wider general acceptance when geraldine ferraro, the first woman to be nominated as VP on a national major party ticket, started using it widely to avoid confusion, since she was married but used her maiden name professionally. eventually over the years it came into common use though i do think the brits are a little more critical of it than americans (as far as i'm aware lol)

"obscure facts only a tumblr user would know" and it's one of the most influential institutions of second wave american feminism. PLEASE open the schools

Also, I've taught English and worked as an editor for twenty years. I am quite literally the grammar police. This use of Ms. is a standard construction. If you didn't learn it in school, someone failed you.

Ms. is marriage-neutral and it’s pronounced Miz. It is deliberately different from Miss.

Because my marital status should not affect what respectful title people use for me.

Gandalf during Lord of the Rings: TOO MUCH TOOK FUCK FUCK FUCK WHAT IS WRONG WITH PIPPIN

I propose a purple light in the middle of the roof (because that color doesn't already mean anything). You turn it on when you are driving under the influence of an unhappy small child, trying to follow directions in an unfamiliar area, or doing anything else that might make you change speed or direction abruptly.

Before posting, please make sure you've used the one you intended to.

The author will be intending to show someone trying to squeeze every last detail out of a map or text, and all I can picture is the character dumping a pitcher of wine over the parchment.
