Just now realizing that the reason Woodman Gault recognized Sophie in the beginning of The Frame-up Job is because he’s seen Ma Mystere.

What do you think it would have taken for Parker to kill or paralyze Bligh (no idea how to spell her name lol)? Like, if Astrid weren’t there I kind of genuinely believe that Parker would have done a lot worse, but Sophie was still in the room so she probably wouldn’t have killed her, you know?

Oooh good question! I agree that if Astrid and Sophie weren't there she would've done a lot worse, though I also think it's dependent on how much Bligh injured Sophie. Like if Sophie had been actually physically injured, even so much as like just a little beat up, a few bruises, maybe a split lip, I think Parker would've hurt her more, though I don't think Parker would kill Bligh over a black eye. But if Sophie had been any more injured? Then Parker would've killed Bligh. Even if Astrid and Sophie were there to watch, they wouldn't have been able to hold her back.

My personal bc as to why Saul had like… no reaction to Farah being dead was because he already knew. Like, he knew she would have never left him in prison or at least found a way to visit, he knew she would have never let Rosalind anywhere near her school, and he knew how far Rosalind was willing to go to get power. So he’d known for months, and he had to get back to Alfea, so he hid his anger and grief like a champ.

Dude, I am also in Switzerland! Crazy coincidence.

Update: I am still in Switzerland but now I’m making my way from Montreux to -> Interlaken

On A Train by Bearblue on Ao3, one of my favs

Hi! I really hope someone can help find this fic. The part I remember is there was a photoshoot on a train (?) in a different country, and there was difficulty in communicating. The new 2nd assistant needed something for Miranda and she ended up getting help from Andy who travels and is very protective of her backpack and later helps them translate because she apparently knew the guy and his family so she shames him and says she's gonna tell his mother.

Not to get all philosophical or anything, but that’s like a really good metaphor.

People who start out with everything and lose half are upset, but people who start out with nothing and gain half are excited.

So maybe you were asking the right question, because whether someone’s an optimist or a pessimist can have a lot to do with how the liquid got there in the first place.

when i was a kid i used to respond to the "glass half full/half empty" question by asking how the liquid in the glass got there in the first place. nobody ever gave me a chance to explain my reasoning so i'm doing it now

if you have a glass and it has some liquid in it, up to the halfway line, whether it is empty or full depends on what happened before the question was asked. if you started with a full glass and poured half out until only half remained, the glass is half empty, because if you continued pouring it would be fully empty. however, if you started with an empty glass and poured liquid from another container into the glass up to the halfway line, the glass is half full because if you continued pouring it would be all the way full. logical, no?

i was 13 years old when somebody finally told me it was supposed to be some kind of optimism/pessimism thing. i always thought it was a riddle that nobody let me solve

okay so I'm having a debate with my flatmates

are these all different things and if so what do you call them

what's fun about the trickster in sja is that for all he claims to love chaos, what he actually poses is the threat of normality. sarah is weird. both as a person, and for someone of her age - she skipped all the typical milestones of adulthood; she never married, never had kids, you get the idea. what does the trickster present her with? an alternate version of reality where her life is normal. in whatever happened to sarah jane?, sarah is literally replaced by a woman who lives in her house but acts far more like what you'd expect from a woman her age. in the temptation of sarah jane smith, sarah is presented with the opportunity to replace her childhood as an orphan raised by her aunt with a childhood raised by her parents. the wedding of sarah jane smith speaks for itself - an opportunity to replace a life spent perennially single with marriage. crucially, each of these occasions is a path to certain destruction - course correcting her life to be normal will literally destroy the world. the trickster is an outside force threatening to impose social expectations on sarah's life; it is perhaps telling that it is otherworldly forces, in particular the doctor - long a symbol of nonconformity and weirdness - that counteract and ward off the trickster. the trickster is tempting because he offers what seems like a better life. but equally, the trickster only has power over reality if you let him.
