A young man asks to marry her and she's like "I'm going to PRETEND I didn't HEAR THAT and you're going to LEAVE before I MURDER YOU"

wound dressings and bandages are lingerie for the enlightened pervert

fiction can be really dangerous there might be a deeply tragic woman in there who starts living in your head forever

It's hard for me to follow the lawsuit in Bleak House as a legal plot, because it's treated like magic. A curse was laid upon the family generations ago, and now all born to the family are caught up within it through no fault of their own. If you step foot into the Chancery, if you place any hope at all in its false promises, you are forever ensnared, and it will suck the life and hope and heart out of you until you are cast an empty husk into the grave. If you deal at all with fairy folk, they have you in their clutches and will drain you dry. You are doomed to a life amid dust and smoke and dirt and tangled texts, and sometimes someone will burst into flame.
