New idea: instead of writing the fic, you come over to my house and I tell you the entire plot while I pace my tiny kitchen. There’s a cup of tea, warm in your hands. The words don’t stop and the affection never leaves your expression.

Last three weeks of my college career and I am now locked in the Uni's library with Dr. Crane and Nygma.

It’s not a trap or puzzle, just being threatened to help them find a spell book because of a project I"m working on for my Medieval Magic and witchcraft class. (Why does Gotham Unvieristy of all places have it? Who know... Its Gotham)

Anyway, if this is how I bite the bullst, three weeks away from my degree, I will fight God and win.

The best notes written in manuscripts by medieval monks

Colophon: a statement at the end of a book containing the scribe or owner’s name, date of completion, or bitching about how hard it is to write a book in the dark ages

Oh, my hand

The parchment is very hairy

Thank God it will soon be dark

St. Patrick of Armagh, deliver me from writing

Now I’ve written the whole thing; for Christ’s sake give me a drink

Oh d fuckin abbot

Massive hangover

Whoever translated these Gospels did a very poor job

Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night

If someone else would like such a handsome book, come and look me up in Paris, across from the Notre Dame cathedral

I shall remember, O Christ, that I am writing of Thee, because I am wrecked today

Do not reproach me concerning the letters, the ink is bad and the parchment scanty and the day is dark

11 golden letters, 8 shilling each; 700 letters with double shafts, 7 shilling for each hundred; and 35 quires of text, each 16 leaves, at 3 shilling each. For such an amount I won’t write again

Here ends the second part of the title work of Brother Thomas Aquinas of the Dominican Order; very long, very verbose; and very tedious for the scribe; thank God, thank God, and again thank God

If anyone take away this book, let him die the death, let him be fried in a pan; let the falling sickness and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen

The feeling I get to use a Hozier song for and Essay is great. Yet, the essay is due today and the song came out today. My Professor will know I wrote this in one day

Homeric Ody and EPIC Ody are ultimately two very different breeds of chaotic human.

And as someone who is currently studying The Odyssey as part of their Classics course…I love both Odys in equal measure.

I've wondered this for years, but why in Percy Jackson, to activate any winged shoes, one has to call out "Maia" for them to work? Like I know it's the name of Hermes mother, but why?

I mean, it's better than Zeus, but still why? For me, I would not call, out "Alana" or "Daniel" to activate any magical item or power. It's kinda awkward.
