Today in class we were asked to write personal statements for college applications and I found out I shouldn’t write anything after having an energy drink
So everyone kept asking and today I got my grade and she called it “brash” but gave me an A+
my prof, a fool: and in the 1995 bbc adaptation of pride and prejudice, you’ll see that darcy is often presented with water symbolism–the bath scene, emerging from the pond–and, given this, we can deduce that this means-
me, an intellectual: that bbc knew what they had with colin firth and did us all a solid
you, a fool: lmao my prof is so dumb talking about symbolism the filmmakers probably didn’t even intend because they were actually just thirsting over colin firth like any reasonable person
your prof, an intellectual: o shit if I come up with a semi-plausible academic reason to talk about it I can spend an entire week of lectures with pictures of soaked colin firth on the screen and make my students write essays on a topic I can daydream my way through the grading of.
I will just never get over the time a couple years ago I was sitting in the Hall H line at SDCC at 1 a.m., everyone else is sleeping and I’m sitting there writing in my notebook and a couple of 30-something dudes walk by and ask what I’m writing. I waffle a bit, then decide to go with brutal honesty and tell them I’m writing dirty fanfic.
They ask what, specifically.
“… um well it’s pretty weird.”
They toss out a few weird possibilities before I finally say I’m writing Thor and Loki fucking.
And one of them instantly responds that that’s not weird! Because it makes sense, really! Loki is the most important, most enduring relationship Thor has had across 50 years of comics and all the movies, they’re really involved with each other, and anyway given Thor’s conflicts with his dad and how much Odin hates Loki, it would be really satisfying for Thor to be with someone who would piss Dad off that much, right?
That was what he came out with. I mean seriously, this guy didn’t have to think about it at all, he had all of that just ready. Not even the most obvious reasons, either. He had clearly considered this possibility in some depth.
Loki is the Philosopher King
