Brb, fangirling...

the way tamora pierce goes out of her way to remind you of how good looking numair is on the page is so funny because it is like.... Notably more over the top than the way she describes any other man. like jonathan yes she will be like he is the Most Handsome he is So Kingly but with numair there is so much focus on like.............. his sensual lips. his large hands. his thick springy mane of hair. she describes that old man like a damn romance heartthrob and ultimately i'm pretty sure it is a raging crush on jeff goldblum bleeding through the cracks. which like, i get it. but also we see you. we all see you.

I think sotl is like the most iconic tortall quartet and protector of the small is definitely the most thoughtfully well written. but the immortals are the most indulgent by a mile. like this was the quartet written for the twelve year old who still lives inside tamora pierce with the handle animaluvr54 and a massive crush on her middle school english teacher. as a huge fan of the 2015 sci fi classic jupiter ascending im obviously v on board with this

i was just reminded by a gifset that sam's goa'uld sensing ability extends to teal'c's symbiote. and like idk that is just kind of special to me. she always knows if he's there, she greets him when he enters a room without turning round because she knows it's him. taking comfort in his presence on a whole different plane because of this extra connection, this additional way she's grounded when he's around. i wonder how it must have felt to adjust to that once he lost his symbiote and began taking tretonin instead. i wonder if after that she started to jump whenever he appeared in a room, because she before was so used to just being able to sense him. i wonder how long it took her to stop feeling like something was wrong every time she saw him, now that reassurance has been taken away.

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know
