a yellow streak of paint

hi i'm feeling bad today!

so do you know this feeling, when you REPEATEDLY tell someone, that what they're saying is hurtful to you and they EACH AND EVERY TIME REPLY: " You know we're just joking... Don't worry" BUT YOU JUST FEEL LIKE CRYING AFTERWARDS?

anyway, i was feeling pretty down today, because i coudn't manage to get started with preparing for my exams, and i agreed with someone that i would do my part of work, but i still haven't done it, and the exam is on wednesday...

anyway here's my rant

oh, and while procrastonating yesterday, before i gave up on studying at all i was reading "Father Goriot" for like four hours. it is pretty cool, but i don't appreciate the portrayal of females at times, but it's not the worst, considering it's a xix century book or something

farewell, i really need to start my work

SEMI-FINALS

Silver Crystal

Is it really that important?: Yes

Why is it important?:

It is incredibly powerful as an offensive weapon and as a healing item. The villains and heroes spend the whole first season seeking it out.

Cocoa (Hot chocolate)

Is it really that important?: At first you think it isn’t, but then it becomes like the most important object ever

Why is it important?:

Okay, so I’m hoping this counts, because the object isn’t a specific cup of cocoa but rather the cocoa itself, which is made new and served and drank in a variety of different cups by a variety of different people throughout the course of the series. Despite it being *technically* new cocoa every time it appears, it is still the same recipe and serves the same purpose in the story. The cocoa comes from a French cafe and is frequently imported and drank by the one of show’s main character: The Interviewer. The Interviewer adores the drink, and consumes and ungodly amount of it. To express his enthusiasm for it, he has described it as “as pure as the angles”, “divine as deity”, and “sweet as sin”. He frequently offers it to his clients, who are people that come to him asking to fake their death and start over with a new life. Almost all of these clients, as well every other character in the show that tries the cocoa, remarks on how incredibly delicious it is. For the first couple seasons, you think it’s just a funny running gag. As time goes on, however, it is revealed that the cocoa actually has magic healing properties. The recipe involves adding a substance nicknamed “Patience” that can fix wounds and cure illnesses and just make you feel better in general. That is one of the main reasons everyone loves it; though I’m sure the cocoa by itself was probably pretty good too. Additionally, the reason the Interviewer drinks so much of it is because he is actually over 3,000 years old, and has been using the cocoa to keep himself alive and basically immortal. This becomes very plot relevant when the Interviewer no longer has access to the magical version of cocoa and starts to die because of this lack.
