Just a thought: Alpha session Jade thought Condy was so horrible she opted to take on Lord English’s name to piss her off. I wonder if Jade didn’t know the full tale with Lord English, or if she did and she saw him as the lesser of two evils.
If it’s the latter, it makes me wonder what Condy will do if/when they defeat Lord English. Is she the secret final boss?
Pretty much how I’ve always seen all Lovecraftian abominations’ take on humanity.
We’re fire ants with giant anthills hidden in improbable places, and if we do manage to climb on you we sting like hell. So the couple eldritch anteaters out there are nasty business for us, sure, but mostly we’re surrounded by things terrified of accidentally sitting on us while traipsing through the multiverse and desperate to find a seller of galactic mosquito nets so our spaceships can’t come through their window.
I recently described my dream living situation as “a witch with WIFI” and lo and behold
If you haven’t read the book this cover image comes from it’s Vivian Vande Velde’s Curses, Inc, a collection of brilliant short stories about witches. I recommend the shit out of it (and everything she’s written, TBH, woman’s an awesome writer.)
i’m all for ghosts who are nervous about their first haunting but i’m also all for ghosts on their millionth haunting who are just showing up for the paycheck at this point
“you’re on big house in the woods duty again charlie” “ugh. let me guess. suburban white family. the dad’s all “this move is good for us”.“ “yep” “listen i’m just gonna slam all the doors really fucking loudly and shout boo”
On Thursday morning, a group of more than 200 protesters affiliated with IfNotNow, a progressive organization of American Jews, marched into President-elect Trump’s transition headquarters in Washington, D.C., to demand he fire Stephen Bannon. The march also addressed other Jewish organizations that have remained silent.
I just realized: In the flashback where Gil is all debauched, that’s BANG with him. Now, admittedly, Bangladesh Dupree is a hedonistic mess, but for me, that gives the whole scene a very different and much more scripted feel. *loud shrugging*
I don’t really get “scripted” so much as “Gil is incapable of noticing when Bang is partially naked”.
…I think he looked away with an irritated expression when she literally took her pants off in the same room as him once. Otherwise? Sleeping in the same bed in underwear and helping button up time-suits over her naked breasts with no reaction whatever.
Gil may be trying to shock Tarvek. Or he may just be hanging out in a bar and it’s really not what it looks like.
he’s probably reading Ovid for class, too
Gil doing homework in the most inconvenient/unlikely situations is a thought I have always enjoyed, tbh.
