i liked that mb got to preserve its deus ex machina role in platform decay despite the fact mensah's family was pretty much expecting it to show up and rescue them...you know who wasn't expecting that, though? the militia. from the militia's perspective, a rando with the exact skillset and knowledge they needed appeared out of nowhere on the cusp of a firefight and volunteered its services, nonchalantly pulled one of them out of the line of fire in the nick of time, asked politely for a weapon and exploded an enemy's gun basically instantaneously, and then peaced out and they never saw it again. i think they had an even more quintessential deus ex machina experience than the ravihyral polycule.

And then the last they hear of it, it stopped an invading force that was coming in through a secret tunnel to the station by drowning them. What a legend

May we never become so obsessed with representation that we forget the sanctity of privacy.

Its actually possible that any tense quiet young woman you meet might have an insane social media account she is addicted to posting her everything to. Who knows

okay but do you ever think about how amazing graceling is? like a main character who is physically unmatched, who has been raised as a killer but decides to start a secret spy network to protect people? even tho her whole life she has been called a brute and acted as the enforcer to a cruel king? yeah she might say shes not like other girls but shes mad about how the patriarchy robs them of the ability to defend themselves and decides her mission in life is to train those who have not been trained. she is tearing the patriarchy down with her bare hands and recruiting more people to help her every day. romantasy wishes they could have a main character as nuanced as katsa. and she punched a mountain lion in the face.

love the phrase "but I digress." yes I temporarily got lost in the moors I wander in my mind but don't worry I'm self-aware about it

it’s weird that professional letters are supposed to start with “dear.” i don’t even call my mom that

my darling hiring manager. my springtime rose. if hired i will bring a strong work ethic to this position

there are bunnies in your computer that do all the multiplication. if your computer is running slow you can open it up and help the bunnies practice their times tables. don't forget to reward them with some lettuce!

ok, i lied. i am not team badam, i am not team samy, i'm team amy-learning-a-new-thing-about-her-introverted-boss-every-day and my team is LOSING

One would assume that Mary seeing the man she has a crush on but can’t pursue because he’s already engaged at social events would be extremely distressing, so I love that instead we’re seeing it be a mixed but net positive experience of coming into herself while every cut to Mr. Hayward makes it obvious that he’s the one having an absolutely miserable time
