Can we talk about how in that scene where Luz dies, she doesn’t know what to say or do — she doesn’t evensay “bye” because it’s all so sudden — and it’s all too soon before she explodes into thousands of balls of light and everything is quiet except for the quiet, somber drifting music. What’s left of her sweeps through the Isles as it Belos continues overtaking it, and the lights pass by everyone she knows: Eda and King, her classmates, Willow, Gus, Hunter and Amity, and then Camilla, who sheds a tear despite still being a puppet. Finally it ends on Eda and King’s shocked faces and the Collector so confused as they realize they can’t fix or bring her back. As the music screeches to a halt, you realize that Luz is truly gone and then you think, “Now what?”
Truly one of THE most affecting parts of the episode. I mean, have the chills just writing this.

Replenishing the Nonfiction Stack; or, We're Calling the Book Buying Ban a Wash, Officially.
I am not, apparently, immune to coupons for niche nonfiction that's directly up my alley (octopus minds and RUSSIAN OWLS, hello??? Thanks, bookshop!).
I thought perhaps the BURGLAR'S GUIDE would also be covered under said coupon, since it was publisher-specific (alas: it was Not, but we might as well bundle for shipping purposes). And then while I was shopping IRL for gifties I found a copy of ROOM, which has been on my list for...ever? So! Hopefully these will hold me over on the nonfiction front for a minute!

all the while society conflates "being an adult" with "having a proper job" and "having money to make arbitrary Adult Purchases" disabled people who can't work - or can only work part time or can only do entry level baby jobs - will never be 'allowed' to be adults
you can say "being an adult is looking after yourself you don't have to have a job!!!" all you want but most people who say that will still assume anybody who doesn't either can't or won't 'look after themselves' actually. and every 'marker' of 'adulthood' that's observable and thus actually counts or whatever loops back around to... having a job and 'contributing' something

I think I finally figuredout what bothered me so much about the way people talk about old vs new houses. So many folk treat the sort of decorative work in older places as though it were a finite thing that just magically appeared there.
Scroll work and stained glass, carved banisters, those cost money when they went in. those cost a Fuck ton when they were first commissioned. If they were made for the house and not by the homeowners. but the key thing is that they were Made.
If you own a place, (and honestly even if you don't, just make it easy to take shit down when it's time to move) there's nothing stopping you from filling it with those same sorts of decorations. You can save up and commission a crafts person in your area, one piece at a time until youre home feels Right for you. Or you can just get the tools and put on a YouTube tutorial. Learn a skill and make your surroundings just that little bit more beautiful in the same way the owners of those old homes you like so much did. One step at a time over years and years.
The know how and tools to do this stuff have only gotten cheaper and more widely available, hell with how easy power tools are to find and use nowadays you can even do it faster than they ever could. there's no brick wall between you and a character filled home.
