or imagine you’re a knight and your one job is to protect the prince and this punk ass kid is just. throwing stuff at him. and the prince keeps threatening to stop him but he hasn’t?? and like this kid is scrawny but he’s about to throw a full table at your boss and instead of being responsible your knight friend Leon is just completely losing it. he’s not even breathing he’s in hysterics watching someone threaten the future king. he’s been laughing for a solid minute and you can’t even tell if he’s breathing. like??

This is all the better because I haven’t been back since new scholarship has revealed that Sarah Winchester definitely wasn’t deranged or suckered by some random tale of Native American vengeance, and probably wasn’t even all that into the occult. As wonderful as the spookiness of it all is, there’s an even better story behind the Mystery House. We’re now seeing evidence that Sarah Winchester was, in fact, a very frustrated architect who was learning by doing after having her passions stifled for half her life by being A Woman In History, compounded with damage done by the 1906 earthquake. 

But in Netflix adaptation, he wears black and ONLY black, which is crazy because, black was actually considered a luxury dye in the middle ages because of how complicated the dying process was. And even then, you wouldnt get a true black; it was going to be blue/black, red/black, or yellow/black. It wasn't until the 17th century that true jet black was possible with the introduction of logwood from Central America.

Geralt who only buys expensive Luxurious Black leather:

Witchers dress entirely in black as advertisement of their role as monster hunters, because for them, it is relatively easy to acquire.

if they have a chance, they will collect small amounts and sell it, but they tend not to bother unless they have new clothes or armor they need dyed, and then sell the rest to the person treating their clothes, which makes it still pretty rare/expensive for everyone else.

Oh man, I love fics in which people who have supernatural/magical abilities are just… unnerving to ordinary people… either because their behavior really is a couple steps to the left of what’s considered “normal” or because they have decidedly nonhuman physical attributes. (I’m not really writing MCU fic anymore, but Asgardians! You gotta write Asgardians as a little freaky, because they’re magic and also aliens and also semi-immortal, so they’ve gotta be weird.) 

I’m not really writing Star Wars atm (at least SW with lots of particularly Force-attuned Jedi), but things that would be unnerving off the top of my head (do I sound like I care “how the Force works”?): 

Jedi almost always react to something several seconds before anyone else. (In TCW, I imagine the clones roll with this immediately.) 

To the point where some particularly precognitive Jedi answer particularly strong thoughts before they’re said aloud. 

No, apologizing doesn’t really help, actually. 

Jedi making casual comments displaying a high degree of psychometric ability (the psychic ability to read an object’s history through touch) or postcognition (ability to divine the past). 

No, deep-cleaning your house won’t help. They know where that’s been. They know where everything’s been. 

Jedi making casual conversation with non-sapient creatures. 

Jedi being better at predicting the weather than any technology. 

This is more annoying than anything else if they have this ability and keep not checking the weather anyway, or straight-up keep failing to inform you that it’s going to rain later. 

Jedi using technology from across the room. 

They can and they will thoughtlessly flip a switch from across the room, without dropping the conversation. No, their technology isn’t all automatic. It’s them casually using the Force. 

Jedi displaying more physical awareness of your body and your surroundings than you yourself. 

“Sorry, you were going to bump your head.”  

Jedi who are powerful empaths always know your real mood. 

“Sorry, you were projecting. Is everything okay?”  

Jedi casually knowing what’s going on in the next room or making a comment that makes you realize they can eavesdrop on every conversation in a fifty meter radius. 

They know it’s rude. It’s mostly unintentional. 

Jedi floating, like, at all. 

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S AN ACCIDENT. 

HOW DO YOU FLOAT BY ACCIDENT???
