everybody wants to be king of the world

I guess it might be because I wasn't so active for a bit. Maybe people saw me turn up again and were like "I HAVE to tell Harris about Royal Affairs!"

I WANNA PASS NOTES

I WANNA BE EVIL

Today we bring you a few lovely bookplates, designed by Frederick Garrison Hall (1879–1946)! Hall was an architect by trade but is better-known for his etchings.

These images are from the Cleveland Museum of Art's open access collection, available to browse on JSTOR (1, 2, 3, 4).

Something like Breaking Bad, for example, has low squiggability (that’s what I’m calling this quality). It’s tightly written, the characters are consistent, there’s little left to interpolate or extrapolate. Obviously, people DO write fanfic of Breaking Bad, but it still has a low squiggability score. Whereas something like Supernatural has a high squiggability score. Fantasy and science fiction often have high squiggability scores. This suggests squiggability could also be related to worldbuilding and potential for people to borrow a premise or setting.

FIRST LAW: This character must be a woman.

SECOND LAW: This character must be a loser, but not in a way that can be pinned on her gender. Misogynistic response from the audience does not disqualify the character.

THIRD LAW: If the audience does not enjoy this character, then it becomes impossible to enjoy the show/film/book/game altogether. It is not possible to ignore this character, for better or for worse.
