People that don't know Harry and Uma think he just calls her captain as a pet name. I mean the way he says it makes it seem that way, but Uma would like to make it clear that it's an authoritative title. Harry on the other hand just goes with it and is like "Yeah, it's kinda hot. She just really likes the power dynamic so I just go with it. It's like a kink or something"
Uma is thoroughly mortified and Harry is not allowed to speak to strangers anymore.

i present: small and non-verbal but very funny star wars moments:
ep. V: the empire strikes back--the millenium falcon achieves hyperspeed again, despite the imperials' best plans to the contrary. admiral piett and his men are terrified of vader's reaction, all trying to stay out of his path. but he's still too busy brooding on his loss of luke to even force-choke anyone. that's how thrown off he was by his newly-mutilated son running away from him!
the sole exception to this collective terror being this guy, so intent on his own important work, that he doesn't even notice his scary boss until darth vader has walked right past him.
ep. III: revenge of the sith--padme's droids somehow getting her unconscious body back on her ship.
in the novelisation, r2-d2 just drags her up the ramp with his gadgetry, but in the script it's c-3po who carried her up bridal style. which would be impossible to film when 3po could barely manage to move around under his own weight. what makes it really funny for me is that there was no need for any of this. why not just have obi-wan pick her up as he's hurrying outta there after failing to kill her husband? i mean, it's surely not good to be lying out in the open on a volcanic world with poisonous gases, but it wouldn't be good for obi-wan running around out there either, and this lady was about to have broken heart as her only known cause of death. when has science ever held back star wars? and i can't imagine that being dragged by wires from artoo or dropped every few steps by threepio could've been too good for her body either. just makes for an absurd little (offscreen) background detail amid the tragedy of the end of padme's life, imho.
ep. IV: a new hope--obi-wan vanishing into thin air when struck down and vader's (very understandable) bafflement afterward.
by this point in the second screencap, luke is shooting at him in retaliation and the stormtroopers are all shooting back at luke, but anakin is still dealing with this unprecendented vanishing and busy searching for any corporeal remains of obi-wan kenobi with his boot. "where did you go, my old master? how could this happen? i wasn't done fighting with you yet."
ep. V: the empire strikes back--vader inviting lando calrissian, chewbacca, han solo, and princess leia to share a meal with him and boba fett, before taking chewie, han, and leia prisoner and torturing han.
i think a lot of people must assume there was no actual meal, but it's not like vader had to go to all that trouble in the first place of setting out an entire banquet table with proper containers and utensils. just because that was lando's pretext to bring them to vader does not necessitate actually having a table set. darth vader could have had them led into any other room with boba fett and stormtroopers waiting to just arrest them right away. instead, as we can see in the second screencap, (over lando's shoulder and leia's bun), vader did sit down at the head of the table, waiting for his prey to join him. and i swear, in one of the earlier drafts of empire's screenplay there is actually a scene showing their awkward meal together. or rather, han and leia being served food and drinks while darth vader just sits there, watching evilly, explaining his great villainous plan to use them to trap luke. it's like dr. evil making austin and vanessa sit down at his table in the first austin powers movie. darth vader really did always live for drama
ep. VI: return of the jedi--leia telling han that she loves luke, but not that way. he's her brother, silly! as if this is something they all knew all along, with zero follow-up explanation. you can just see han wordlessly processing this bombshell of brand new information through his facial expressions alone. (this lasts so long that i wouldn't even count it were it not likely overshadowed by everything else in the ending of rotj.)
wh-what did you say? your brother? since when?
wait-wait-wait. i've seen you mouth kissing luke right in front of me before. i'm so confused now.
just what kind of weirdo family have i gotten myself mixed up with here?
oh, well, she's only kissing me now. that's good enough, i guess. maybe?
hey, as long as you do love me and luke in different ways ...
i don't know much about families, but i've heard they all have their weird traditions. so who am i to judge you, babe? as long as we're together now, that's all that matters.

Rereading The Summoning for update reasons. Realizing a few things, first how far I've come as a writer, second no one stays dead in this fic, third this fic has an insane number of pairings and potential pairings, and lastly because it's been years since I updated it may feel like a different fic just because I have more characters to work with that weren't present in canon when this fic was written. In any case the way I'm laughing and nostalgic during this reread is just entertaining me right now.

I know it’ll likely change if/when more guests are announced but I just find it funny that Mitchell’s under Dan’s photo considering they played father and son in Descendants.
Also, since there are 10 guests so far, why not two rows of five instead of one row of six and one row of four?

Nieces and nephews
A friend of mine went on social media recently to post a picture of her newborn niece. Cute kid. You all know what nieces and nephews are, right?
Wanna bet?
“Nephew” and “niece” are the Words of the Day. Today, of course, a nephew or niece is the child of your brother or sister. But until the early 1600’s, both “nephew” and “niece” meant a grandchild! (Or any of your descendants other than your own child, including nieces and nephews.)
Nephew and niece came down to us through the centuries from French and Latin. The Old French “neveu” for nephew and “nece” for niece were derived from Latin “nepos” and “neptis,” respectively (or “nepotem” for either). And all those words commonly meant grandson or granddaughter. “Descendant” – male or female – was a secondary meaning.
So, how did your own grandchild turn into the child of a relative? Well, we don’t know for sure, but you may want to blame it on the Roman Catholic Church. Since popes couldn’t marry, any illegitimate sons they might have (holy) fathered tended to be referred to with a wink and a nod as his “nephews.” A number of popes, possibly starting with Sixtus IV in the late 1400’s, granted special favors and privileges to members of his family, his “nepotem.” That’s where we get the word “nepotism.” And it’s possibly when nephews started commonly being referred to as children instead of grandchildren.
