always thinking about how in season 3 nancy consistently never picks up on the sarcasm of her bosses

her reaction to tom saying her article could “be a book”

and when bruce says he likes her story

but then in season 4, when robin reads out the Weekly Watcher article, she’s learnt from all the times she’s been made fun of and takes it as sarcasm

just thinking about the disappointment she must’ve felt believing that robin was like everyone else, making fun of her :(

(and then the realisation that for once she’s been trusted, and believed, and proven right)

Draft 1 Novel for WIP Wednesday please

Thank you for the ask! Draft 1 has 16 chapters now! Woot woot!! And here are some new sentences for Seeing Eddie Munson:

The second floor is blissfully empty.  Quiet.  Peaceful.  There are huge, floor to ceiling arched windows at the back of the floor, painting a silent portrait of a Bob Ross style snow scene on campus.  It’s pretty from the inside where the snowflakes aren’t pelting you in the face and the wind isn’t making you stumble over every third step. It’s still a little cold up here in just your sweater, though.  You’d forgotten to dress for the weather—certain it would be a little chilly but not blizzarding.  Oh, how wrong you were.

#wip wed #I've been in a little bit of a slump with draft 1 so I really appreciate the push #thanks!!!

A couple years ago, I was staying with a friend for New Year’s and we’d decided to drive down to this adorable strip of locally-owned small business shops and check them out. The bakery was particularly crowded and since I wasn’t planning to buy anything, I waited outside. It’d been snowing, and since moving I’d picked up a “Californian-experiences-true-midwest-winter-for-the-first-time” habit of making at least one (1) tiny snowman every opportunity I get

so I built a little snowman on one of the small tables on this strip. 

after about three minutes of cramming ice together, I hear, “Do you want espresso beans for the eyes?” and I turn around and there’s this gal leaning precariously far out the window of her coffee shop, surrounded by her coworkers, holding out her hand and said espresso beans.

I think of those strangers often. just the thought of them all looking out the window to see this random stranger on the corner in the snow building a tiny snowman and deciding to join in, make it special for no other reason than that they wanted to. people are so, so precious and I’m never going to forget that moment.

I cannot get over how much I love Cassandra Lee Morris as a VA. Every time I hear her voice in anything, I go "omg I know that! who is that??" and have to systematically look up the film, the character, the VA, and then dig through the VA's list of projects on Wikipedia until I inevitably find Toradora! and am delighted to find it's Taiga's VA. It's perfect because I both love her voice and can't remember her at all, so every character gets to stay as its own individual character but I still get the delight of recognizing a familiar voice

“By the usual measures, Biden should be cruising to reëlection. Violent crime has dropped to nearly a fifty-year low, unemployment is below four per cent, and in January the S. & P. 500 and the Dow hit record highs. More Americans than ever have health insurance, and the country is producing more energy than at any previous moment in its history. His opponent, who is facing ninety-one criminal counts, has suggested that if he is elected he will fire as many as fifty thousand civil servants and replace them with loyalists, deputize the National Guard as a mass-deportation force, and root out what he calls “the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.””

Vapor Chicken for Wip Wed! :D

Thank you for the ask!!

Eddie looks just a little strung out.  Not in a drug-induced sort of way, but in a too-stressed sort of way.  He’s frozen where he stands, hand halfway to brushing the hair from his forehead and eyes wide as you crack open the door. “Eddie?” His hand shifts from his hair to his pocket with an unparalleled amount of forced casualness. “Uh.  Yeah.  Hi.  Could I… can I talk to you?”

#wip wed #I'm still cracking away at these asks! #thanks y'all!!

Something about the idea that voting for president only matters if you live in a swing state, and that all the people in blue states or red states can indulge themselves in principled nonparticipation because the outcomes are preordained, strikes me as akin to playing with fire.

Is it really coherent to say "both sides are awful, write in Mickey Mouse or burn your ballot or just stay home and get drunk, unless you live in Pennsylvania, in which case maybe consider taking one for the team and compromising yourself by voting for the lesser evil?" Is that really the message that will lead to a preferable outcome?

What it sounds like to me is a sign that 1) you take your local electorate for granted, and 2) you see avoiding the worst case scenario as somebody else's problem.

I remember when Florida was a swing state. I also remember when Pennsylvania wasn't.
