“Violent in their impassiveness” is such a good line
This is absolutely my new response to this question
"ok but are you diagnosed" what are you a cop.
Started watching Friends again with my mom and god Phoebe is so autistic. The second episode literally starts with everyone complaining about her echolalia. I love weird women in media that are just autistic (also thinking of Jessica Day from New Girl)
Joel keeps trying to save his daughter and gets killed for it
Can’t believe a few episodes ago they were fighting sex robots and now they are fighting multiple gods. At the same time. Man, things change fast
"i have the right of way" was a form of protective charm uttered by urban travellers in the early 21st century. They believed this phrase acted as a ward against danger and injury, invoking the divine spirit of 'Traffic Law', one of their primary deities.
The way that Abby’s dad would have done the same thing. What parent wouldn’t do anything to save their child?
I’ve seen people complain about Gwen saying to her dad “you’re a good cop” but I don’t think they understand what that scene actually means. Gwen’s dad is supposed to represent the “good cop”. It’s like Gwen says: he puts on that badge everyday so someone worse than him doesn’t. Pre Gwen’s reveal, he SEEMS like a good person, advocating for bringing peter’s killer to justice. But then he finds out, and in that moment, values the law over his teenage daughter. He even shows it in their reconciliation scene, even after not seeing his daughter for MONTHS, by arguing against Gwen being a vigilante despite the all the good shes done. When Gwen says “you’re a good cop,” she’s not saying “youre a good person” or “youre a good dad”. She’s saying “youre a BAD person. You’re a BAD dad. you value the law over my life, no matter what I do. You’re willing to sacrifice me for what you assume is the greater good, but it’s not even that.”
So he decides not be a good cop anymore.
The way Brennan says “ketchup” is crazy. I have never heard anyone say it like that before. Could not focus on anything happening due to the way Brennan says “ketchup”
Don’t understand how John Green could write something like “I’m stressed about work, even though my work is absurdly inessential.”
There’s a reason I return again and again to all of his work. I deeply feel that my life has been saved with the hope and wonder and joy he has given me. Art is not a luxury. It’s a necessity.
Interesting that Ruben didn’t do anything besides give out bardics. Almost like killing rats doesn’t teach you anything and he’s useless in real combat. Excited to see what the other ratgrinders fight like
