faith and lilah should’ve lezzed out

asked one of my coworkers how she's doing today and she goes "could be better, could be worse," and another coworker nearby who was eavesdropping chimes in with "could be a lil bit o' alligator curse!" i have no idea what he meant by that but i do know that it has been immediately added to the lexicon.

reading about ancient egyptian artifacts that have meaningless hieroglyphics on them and (aside from it being really cool as an example of the interaction between written language as a cultural feature with the fact that many people could not read and write) i'm very charmed that there were people bullshitting scripts they didn't know for the aesthetic back then too

Polyamory is safe for work. Polyamory is safe for kids. Polyamory is safe for day time tv. Polyamory isn’t more sexual than any other relationship and it can be just as romantic, sweet, and healthy.

Aggressively reblogs.

i am not defending her per se. HOWEVER. i think ianthe’s actions must be viewed through the lens that she has always had to carve out a space for herself in every social position and identity she’s ever held. because never once has she been anyone’s favorite or first choice. as one of two necromantic heirs of the third house, as one of two baby lyctors aboard the mithraeum, as one of two tower princes. she has always been the one looked over or less favored. and so OBVIOUSLY she would weaponize that trait of hers - seen notably when she uses her ability to escape notice to reverse-engineer the lyctoral process without anyone else figuring out what she was doing until it was too late - and OBVIOUSLY she views herself as the main character, as Above It All. her psychological background necessitates it. she’s never belonged in any room she’s ever stepped foot in and so she must be superior to everyone in those rooms. and she’s fascinated by - and made insecure by - the people for whom that justification seems to be disproven. coronabeth, harrowhark, kiriona. all more important and more favored than her. and wouldn’t that just piss you off. wouldn’t that just make you want to bond yourself to them forever. isn’t that too a form of love
