what if I just got really really really into Merlin again
got told yesterday that I seem like a dog person. six dead thirteen injured.
unfortunately I find myself in desperate need of a detailed breakdown of the historical progression of wheel/axle technology and less than zero idea where to look for it
I'm like a person with a deathly fear of heights who insists upon continually flinging myself off the tallest cliffs I can find
the inside of my mind sounds like a shrill cacophony of dial up internet screeching noises
UPDATE: WE DID IT FOLKS
me: what if I don't belong here? what if I fail out?
they: *give me something really cool*
me: oh I'm NOT giving THIS back. FAILING OUT? DON'T KNOW HER

do people in the DC area drive BADLY? no, not moreso than any other metro area whose citizens love to complain about their local drivers. not even in my top 5 worst. now. do people in the DC area drive like little baby cowards? perhaps
watching The Alienist and honestly, like New Yorkers of every era, these people don't have enough guns. why the hell would you go to the wild west and NOT bring a gun

found exactly the desk I want multiple times. only problem is that every time, it's dollhouse furniture
Okay, please tell me, who would you cast as Thrawn for live action? You personally.
-Rain
Okay, I'm going to answer this even though it damages my dignity.
First, three caveats:
- I'm not super picky. I think there are a lot of people who could do it just fine. Thrawn at his core is a Sherlock Holmes adaptation, so you need somebody who has that combination of casual, offhanded genius + genuine good intentions + weird little freak energy, etc. that Sherlock has.
- I think Lars Mikkelsen does just fine. My core issue with his portrayal is not with his portrayal, per se. It's with Dave Filoni and what the hell Thrawn is DOING in the Ahsoka show. The dissonance between Rebels Thrawn and Book Thrawn I think is explainable in various ways. Thrawn as portrayed in Ahsoka has zero logic behind his actions that I can see, which just isn't compatible with any version of Thrawn's character. But again, that's not Mikkelsen's problem.
- Lars Mikkelsen is playing Old Man Thrawn. When I fancast Thrawn, I am mentally fancasting Imperial Academy Thrawn from Thrawn (2017) and/or sharp and spiky Thrawn from the Ascendancy series as portrayed in the extremely dramatic yet compelling Out Of Print Limited Edition Ascendancy Trilogy cover art:
All that said, yes I would probably cast Michael Fassbender OKAY, DON'T @ ME.
should I buy a Bridge Four patch for my backpack
What do you want your novel to look like on the library shelf?
I WANT IT TO HAVE A TOMMY ARNOLD COVER

I have never been as bad at anything in my life as I am at remembering to bring my reusable grocery bags when I go to the store
