the thing is, howl tells sophie that he wrote his dissertation on curses and spells....but he never actually says he got the degree...leading me to say with full confidence that howell jenkins went and opened a portal to another universe explicitly in order to slither out of his phd program

I’m not really sure why. But… do you stop loving someone just because they betray you? I don’t think so. That’s what makes the betrayal hurt so much — pain, frustration, anger… and I still loved her. I still do.

Kaladin: I did it. I went to therapy

Syl: Finally! How did it go?

Kaladin: Pretty well. I helped my therapist overcome his past traumas.

Syl:

Syl: you accomplished literally the exact opposite of why we sent you there

If you ever, and I mean EVER think that you fucked something up royally, remember that the organizers of the 1904 Olympic marathon:

- Had zero stations for water on the 26 mile (42 km) course

- Accidentally gave North American competitor Tom Hicks a cocktail made of egg whites, brandy, and actual fucking rat poison

- Had a guy come into the race late wearing a beret and cutoff slacks, sneak into an apple orchard during the race because no food had been given to him for 40 hours, eat rotten apples, projectile vomit onto the track, fall asleep for hours, and finish in fourth place OVERALL because most of the other runners collapsed of exhaustion or injuries

- Conducted the race on a dusty road, which caused so much dust to be kicked into the air that an American runner somehow inhaled enough to tear his STOMACH LINING open

- Accidentally released feral dogs onto the track

- Fucked the other competitors up SO BADLY that Tom Hicks—the guy who ate RAT POISON and was HALLUCINATING the entire run—came in first place
