Cadsuane: In my experience, the Al'thor boy can be very aggressive sometimes, so it’s important to take all necessary precautions when approaching him.

When Eliot has to (reluctantly) go through the vents, he complains “Don’t they ever clean these things?” even though it was usually Hardison who complained about dust and dirt on the job (including freaking out about dust mites in the vents).
Conclusion: Eliot’s primary vent experience is from their own home’s vents (“vent practice”), and Parker keeps those vents fastidiously clean and dust-free for her boys to make hanging out in the vents with her as appealing to them as possible.
Parker has a special outfit with dusters stitched on everywhere and vent cleaning day is her favorite day
I’ve been watching this Indian tv series called Betaal. It’s a zombie horror with the zombies being cursed East India Company redcoats - it’s fine, the pacing and editing isn’t great and it’s quite short but it has the funniest line in the world.
After 4 episodes of fighting and some slight (and correct) digs at the British empire, the main characters lights an old cannon aimed at the zombies and goes “This is what you call a hard brexit, motherfuckers.” Absolutely zero build up to that line, no previous commentary on current political events, just makes it all the better that they included that.
The evil “zombies-are-here” noise is a wee trumpet playing God save the queen hahahaha
That’s what the zombie Brits look like. They have a wee drummer and everything.
I think you made a mistake. That’s clearly Prince Phillip’s regimental portrait.
I’m really excited for Buck to be Eddie’s Boyfriend so that Eddie starts introducing Linda as his Best friend. And for Buck to HATE IT. And for Eddie to just be like “Buck you’re my boyfriend that’s better.” And Buck to be all “I CAN BE BOTH YOU KNOW WHAT FINE YOURE NOT MY BEST FRIEND EITHER. I HAVE A DIFFERENT BEST FRIEND.” And Eddie to go “ Is it Christopher?” And Buck to say “YES and he’s the coolest and we’re gonna hang out without you” and Eddie to say “he’s at a slumber party with Denny and Harry” and buck just kinda pouts for a bit while Linda and Eddie sip their tea.
Hey, if you have no choice but to infodump, always use characters, never the narrator to tell things to the reader.
This way, if you got something wrong and someone points it out later, you can argue that this character in particular was lying/misremembering/was ignorant of the exact details. You, the author, obviously knew what the real facts were all along.
*shoves plothole inside other less noticeable plothole* *throws a rug over it* My characters are dumb but i in fact am god
Sherlock searching the whole flat for cigarettes like a madman is so funny because he could easily leave the flat and buy new ones, but no, he wants John to witness just how extra Sherlock is and how desperate he is and oh oh! oh! jail for John! jail for John for One Thousand Years!!!!
doctor: you my dear turtle suffer of a very severe form of fangirlism, which causes the symptoms of sleep deprivation, escapism of reality, phone-addiction, procrastination and occasionally uncontrollable emotions which often results in screaming, crying, laughing or everything at once. your condition is reaching a concerning level.
