My favorite genre of media is Women With Sword. Specifically Mary Kate Wiles With Sword.

when youโ€™re a nerdy introvert and the one person you know at a party abandons you and you have to be a big boy instead of clamping to her like a mussel to a rock ๐Ÿ˜ญ

the beauty of the friendship between Ichabod and Matilda is that Ichabod is so eager to create connection with someone who can understand grief like he does and itโ€™s what he seeks most. Kat knows this and plays with this, she makes sure to mention her mom in most conversations with him because she knows itโ€™s his weakness, that heโ€™s just craving to find someone else who has that same gap in their life. when Brom thinks Henri is his dad, immediately Ichabod jumps to show him compassion "Iโ€™m so sorry Brom, when did he die?", he asks Matilda two different times about the picture of the girls, "Is this your mom?", he shows concern towards Diedrich when the other bard makes up a bullshit excuse "He never mentioned his grandmother was sick!", itโ€™s just something you can tell is always on his mind and always something through which heโ€™s trying to connect with others. heโ€™s lost his parents, he lost his grandma, and itโ€™s just something that has shaped him and he wants to share that with someone. and then he finds Matilda, whoโ€™s holding dear onto whatโ€™s left of her best friend, who just like him has yet to really make peace with losing someone so deeply significant to her who was there all her life until she wasnโ€™t, who has so much grief to process and has never been able to tell anyone about it until now. I think itโ€™s very beautiful they found family in one another. theyโ€™re exactly what the other needed.

5 Tips to Getting to 50k Words

Itโ€™s the middle of NaNoWriMo, and the race to the finish may start to feel daunting! NaNo Participant Lori Chick has a few tips on staying motivated so you reach your word count goal. So, youโ€™re a few weeks into NaNo, and you have just realized that 50k is a lot of words. It seems interminable and impossible and itโ€™s stressing you out. Donโ€™t. Donโ€™t stress. NaNo is for fun and to challenge us and I can promise you, outside of real life (stupid real life ruining everything) issues, you can ABSOLUTELY hit your 50k. Honestly, your biggest obstacle is probably the anxiety and stress about writing 50k words in a month.

I totally identify with this passage from Emma by Jane Austen:

"Now, it so happened that in spite of Emmaโ€™s resolution of never marrying, there was something in the name, in the idea of Mr. Frank Churchill, which always interested her. She had frequently thought...that if she were to marry, he was the very person to suit her in age, character and condition. He seemed by this connexion between the families, quite to belong to her."

When I was a very young kid, my mom's two closest friends each had a son who was one year older than me, and I always assumed I would marry one of these boys. Like Emma, I felt like they belonged to me. I didn't have a crush on either of them, nor did I dislike them, they were just the boys my age that I spent the most time with, and our families were so close, so to my immature brain it was logical that we would get married when we grew up. It was just a given to me.

Of course, Emma still believed this when she was a full-ass adult, while I realized it was illogical while I was still a child, so...

As a very dry humored person myselfโ€ฆ I aspire to be the level of unaffected that Sinead Persaud manages in Headless episode 1.

Likeโ€ฆ I laugh every damn time.

Also watch Headless.
