I do like that Dubai has a little emotional sub-arc for Daniel where you can actively see him switch from the “investigating high profile dangerous people for justice reasons” journalist mode, towards the “interviewing a regular person for the sake of getting their personal narrative and story out there” journalism of his youth.

Like he goes into season one very confrontational and pushy. He’s got his jaded no-nonsense reporter “take no bullshit” fully professional attitude in full force. The kind of emotional armor you wear when investigating something like the KGB. He falls back on it because it’s his most recent journalism experience.

As the series progresses and Daniel gets more of the story—a personal narrative not a government take down—he lets himself be more friendly. He jokes a bit more, he’s a little less rough around the edges, he lets the professionalism down a little.

Closer to the kind of persona you use to get a single mother working at a bar, or a veteran and his refugee boyfriend to open up to you. Or a 100 year old vampire in 1973. This time combined with the added experience of years of professional journalism.

always so scary to remember catholics actually believe all of that and it's not just a crazy sex thing

That's the best part about Tumblr as a whole imho.

If uppercase letters are capital letters then what the FUCK are lowercase letters

Literally lower case, fortunately!

BUT WHAT WERE THEY CALLED TO DISTINGUISH THEM FROM CAPITALS PRIOR TO THE CASE

ooh ok I know this one, the technical terms for upper and lower case letters are majuscule and minuscule, which goes all the way back to when they were essentially two different latin alphabets that were not combined together in written text in the way we do now. there's actually no specific opposite term to capital that applies to minuscule letters.

however... since capital comes from the latin caput meaning head because capitals are used at the head of a sentence or page, if we wanted to have an opposite term for lower case letters we could take it from the latin word for body, corpus. therefore, something like "corpusal letters" maybe?

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

Love it when you can see the impending disaster before it hits, lol.

you know the camera is going down, so you’re just guessing which dog it’s gonna be

until suddenly you know

RIP Inspector Javert, you would have made a great corporate prosecutor

your belief that there is a certain class of entities that are inherently wicked and will always seek to break the law for their own benefits was not entirely wrongheaded, you just had the bad luck to be born before the advent of Fortune 500 companies

I just think that a man who could chase one minor felon across twenty plus years and multiple cities would be perfectly suited to chasing a trail of money through multiple shell companies as a board tries to duck criminal prosecution through bankruptcies while retaining the assets within the parent zaibatsu

He would be so enriched

ao3 is an awesome website for people who love "open in new tab"
