i loveeeeee love love when poolverine fics are just wade and logan being irrevocably obsessed with each other. twin flames, best friends, protectors, lovers

some of you think ‘nuanced’ only means ‘morally grey’ and I’m here to tell you that actually straight up good characters can still be nuanced and unapologetically evil characters can still be nuanced. the character doesn’t have to be an anti hero or morally dubious to have depth. they don’t even have to feel sorry about their crimes to have depth.

reading nabokov is maddening because his writing is so playful and evocative and effortless and english isn't even his first language. he's doing things in a second language most people could spend their lives trying and failing to replicate in their first language. makes me feel like this

"my very photogenic mother died in a freak accident (picnic, lightning) when i was three" like come ON how did you write the funniest sentence ever by adding a two word parenthetical. leave something for the rest of us

Mercury, Venus, (uh oh) Pearth, Mars (phew), Djupiter (never mind), Faturn ⁉️, Luranus (kinda French actually), Pneptune

I got to “Faturn” and burst into horribly loud laughter I’m now crying over this in bed fucking Faturn

nothing else in my life has ever made me nearly throw up from laughing

never forget the universal rule of the order of things: People Will Not Read It

signs at stores? émail? menu ?? instruction ? post online ? caption with andswer to question ? group hand outs ??? street sign ??? no. The Written Word Is The Enemy

#The number of compliments i have gotten for reading a thing

The ability to occasionally Read A Thing will make you a hero in your workplace, especially if it is for example an error message that tells you what you need to do differently, or instructions on unjamming a printer.

how dare you say we put jam in the printer

Vic Michaelis is to Sam Reich what Ally Beardsley is to Brennan Lee Mulligan

you know how allison’s family were all billionaires or whatever?

you’re telling me this girl didn’t regularly visit whatever european country she wanted to to shop or party? you’re telling me she DOESN’T speak any other language than english??

nah, i’m going to keep imagining that she 100% speaks french and listens in to whatever argument kevin and neil are having. this girl knew allll their drama and was just like “oh, im making a bet with dan and matt about this” and robbed them blind
