calmest coldness was the error which has crept into our life

There's really nothing quite like reading the first chapter note on a fic saying something like "I think there's maybe 2 more chapters in this" fully aware that you've just clicked on an 86 chapter behemoth that has clearly been holding this author hostage for several months

“you should be the bigger person” absolutely not. i’m cursing his entire bloodline.

heartbreaking: local thing has to leave the house even though it is so tired and sleepy and full of joint pain

I think the most unintentionally pretentious part of me is I genuinely forget that most people do not have a near-encyclopedic knowledge of mythology and folklore. I literally just assume most people know at least the name of every Greek god. My mom and I were watching the Banshees of Inisherin and at the start, she asked "Do you know what a banshee is?" and I was so stunned because it would never occur to me to ask that question because I would never assume the average person doesn't know what a banshee is. The average person knows what a banshee is right. You know what a banshee is right. You know the names of the greek gods right. You know that norse myth where loki fucked the horse right. Right. RIGHT

I was watching an episode of Um Actually and they asked a question about the Loki horsefucking and none of the contestants caught the correction (that Loki fucked a stallion as a mare, not the other way around) and I was just yelling at the TV like how could they not know this???

SAME

shoutout to the time i was watching jeopardy and they described fenrir but NONE of the contestants knew the answer so i was just standing there, in front of the tv, absolutely losing my goddamn mind
