*cracks knuckles*

People who’ve lived their entire lives in New Orleans need to shut up about the whole rest of the state. “Oh they’re basically Texas” and also “wah they don’t want to do the things we tell them to” oh wow I wonder why? Is it because you’re super condescending assholes about everyone who didn’t go to a private Catholic high school?? It’s possible I’m a little bitter toward certain persons!

Of course! From ‘Little Snow White’:

“Little Snow-White was so hungry and thirsty that she ate some vegetables and bread from each plate and drank a drop of wine out of each mug, for she did not wish to take all from one only. Then, as she was so tired, she laid herself down on one of the little beds, but none of them suited her: one was too long, another too short, but at last she found that the seventh one was right, and so she remained in it, said a prayer, and went to sleep.”

I can only return the compliment. Thank you so much; you’re so thoughtful, always.

I love it tbh. I've been going every year since 2013! I feel like especially last year they really diversified the programming. However I'm disappointed with the location change, but I think they had no choice bc the old hotel couldn't hold the numbers they were drawing in anymore.

From ‘Little Briar Rose’:

“Then he went on still farther, and all was so quiet that a breath could be heard, and at last he came to the tower, and opened the door into the little room where Briar-rose was sleeping, There she lay, so beautiful that he could not turn his eyes away; and he stooped down and gave her a kiss. But as soon as he kissed her, Briar-rose opened her eyes and awoke, and looked at him quite sweetly.”

(I’ve literally never done a session of stichomancy without someone getting this passage.)

“To Carthage then I came

Burning burning burning burning O Lord Thou pluckest me out O Lord Thou pluckest

I do. The Chronicles of Narnia were engraved in my psyche so young that I frequently go months or even years without thinking about them consciously, but they’re always there, percolating. Sometimes a thought bubbles up, and 9/10 times that thought is “Wow, Queen Susan *chinhands*”
