How it feels to settle into bed and close my eyes and return to the totally made-up scenario I was last engrossed in

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, “hm, this doesn’t look thick enough. maybe i’ll let it go for another 10 minutes.” this is the devil speaking. it’s only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think “this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid.” this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

yes we are all very impressed with the depth of your research. Your 27 citations in two sentences, however, goes past ‘impressive’ and becomes ‘your historical article looks like the goddamn warrior cats wiki page for firestar’

Genuinely what this article looks like

Than there is the other option:

which makes one grateful for citation styles that contracts the 90 references into one, instead of doing stuff like

this.

because yes, we are really very impressed with the depth of your research, but come on

#1 reads like you’re stopping to take a breath in between every second of your presentation.

#2 reads like a pause to slap a 5-meter-thick pile of files onto the table.

much to be said about the fact the costume designer for heated rivalry said that shane and yuna are both wearing linen in the coming out scene on purpose. because she wants it to be obvious that yuna buys shane clothes. and then shane subsequently makes active choices to wear those clothes when he is around her because he wants her to know that he loves her. but he also wants to show that he can be what she wants him to be by wearing what she wants him to wear. not sure if i have the strength to say it. in fact i need to lie down

coming back to this i think it is so interesting how in the most recent comments she made about the costumes she said that yuna buys shane linen because it’s what she wears, so she knows that it’s nice and comfortable, but it requires “more upkeep than he is interested in”, which is why it’s not ironed and he doesn’t seem to take care of it. that particular phrase is so awesome. something his mother has given him “Requires More Upkeep Than He Is Interested In” but he keeps it and wears it and carries it around with him to show her he appreciates that she gave it to him. in the books he wears a shirt related to a charity event to signal to his parents that he’s a “good person”. remember me, your son, who does charity events? remember me, your son, who is a good and normal person who does good and normal things? and this shirt does the same thing without the addition of a logo. remember me, your son, whom you love? you bought me this shirt. and i’m wearing it not only because i love you but because i need you to remember that you love me
