I feel like a lot of people don’t quite get what a butler is. The role tends to get rounded off to ‘male servant’ pretty regularly in some media, whereas actually butlers are typically not just servants but chief servants. The butler was generally in charge of either all male servants or just all servants, period, in the household of an aristocrat or other very wealthy person. This meant that butlers have often been fairly powerful and influential people, and sometimes even had a manservant or two of their own.

(Also, fun fact: Mary Roberts Rinehart, the early 20th century mystery writer who is widely credited with popularizing the whole ‘the butler did it’ trope was nearly murdered by one of her own servants, a chef whom she had passed over for promotion to butler. He came at her with a pistol, but it jammed, allowing her chauffeur time to wrestle it away and restrain him.)

You didn’t answer the key question things brings up: did she popularize the trope before or after the would-be butler tried to kill her?

according to wikipedia, before

There’s something glorious about the fact that the author who popularised “the butler did it” had a servant who a) failed to become the butler and then b) failed to do it.

If he’d been butler material, he’d have finished the job.

Best bathroom shenanigans, lol.

I think its funny that nobody has mentioned that in hyrule warriors when you defeat Link as any bad guy, some of the materials you get is his *boot*

Multiple boots in fact. If youre lucky, you can get like, 10

I imagine Ganondorf picking an unconscious Warriors by the scarf and shaking him, and dozens of boots fall out, and he just grabs him and leaves Warriors on the ground

You know how football fetishes came into the cultural zeitgeist about a decade ago?

Let's just be thankful that the Links who's had to deal with the most sexual harassment were one of the few who weren't prepubescent bc Cia and Ghirahim were bad enough and now we have Ganondorf and his goddamn boot stealing orders.

the way i’ve watched this so many times

I keep making these because they make me chuckle

My mom just sent me this Instagram reel and it’s hilarious, of course, but the funniest bit was this little tidbit I saw in the corner LMAO

Considering you said previously that Spirit will claim to go out reaping as an excuse to not be disturbed while napping, I love the fact that they don't call him out and let him sleep

I think it would be so funny if the chain goes through a portal and Four is like "Oh hey, I know this place! My house is like half an hour away."

They make it to his home and they meet his grandpa, who is also four feet tall. And no one comments on it because it must be something that runs in the family. Not that weird, right?

And then some of them go into the nearby town and they discover that literally everyone is that hight and for once they're the weird ones in terms of height. Warriors and Time keep bonking their heads on the doorframes of shops because Everything is built for people who are like max 5' 2"

So it turns out Four is just an average height for his era, and he's been thinking that everyone else is freakishly tall this entire time.

He just literally never mentioned any of this to the other heroes because either he thought it was funny or he couldn’t be bothered.

Time really walked up to Malon in that one part of LU like “What’s up my love, I know I’ve been gone, but guess which one of these absolute disasters is our descendant?” and then let her observe the idiots outside of their natural habitats and try to guess which one was theirs, and god do I love him for it
