it would be so funny if in season 2 (let me be delusional okay) during flashback of edwin and charles creating the Agency, we would get a scene where Charles is testing his magic backpack and makes a Mary Poppins references and start fucking singing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. And Edwin being super confused in the background because the language nerd he is is trying to understand what Charles just said.

a good thing to do for your friends with anxiety disorders: if you have a question you need to ask them or something you need to tell them, explain the subject of the question/the statement in the same message as your opening one!
so basically: instead of saying “can i ask you a question?” and sending just that (which, as a person with an anxiety disorder, makes my anxiety go into hyperdrive) go “can i ask you a question about ___?”
it’s a little thing but honestly few things make me anxious like “i have a question for you” or “there’s something i need to tell you” without immediate explanation. thanks!
The Cat King is such a good “villain”. He isn’t traditionally evil, but to Edwin he is evil and predatory. We aren’t supposed to like him until the end. He is everything Edwin needs in a villain. The Cat King isn’t ashamed to be queer, different, sexual, everything that Edwin wishes he were not. He represents what his parents and society told him was evil. Being like the Cat King is what got Edwin murdered. Despite being so evil we grow to see him and Edwin kind of bond, especially after Edwin confesses. Accepting the Cat King as a tentative ally shows that Edwin has accepted his queerness as well. This show is chock full of metaphors for being queer and I love it.
Our parents were rights... phones are the problem.
guys i’m sorry but if the villain is a woman im gonna think their a little hot. i can’t even help it
I'm currently watching A Discovery of Witches (good fantasy show, I definitely recommend it) and Matthew Goode (who is playing the vampire Matthew Clairmont, on of the lead in the show) looks so much like a grown up Edwin.
And every time I think about it, i feel bittersweet, because our beloved Edwardian ghost boy never had the chance to grow and age.
i love it actually when nonnative speakers make mistakes that reveal how their native languages work.
lots of koreans online say they "eat" drinks which would assume they only have one word which covers the concept of consumption.
arabic immigrants in sweden (my mother included) have a hard time differentiating between "i think/i believe/my opinion is" which suggests that in arabic these different modalities of speaker agency is treated as one or at least interchangeable.
swedish speakers in english will use should/shall/have to/must with much higher nuance precision than native english speakers, to the point where they sound well awkward, because the distinction between these commands in swedish is much clearer than in english. i make mistakes between is/am/are and has/have constantly because swedish only has one pronoun covering all grammatical persons.
i've heard speakers of languages without gendered pronouns (finnish, the chinese dialects, and a tonne more) make he/she mistakes because it's hard(!!) to learn two or more gendered pronouns and when to use them correctly.
how neat is that?! it add a charm to international english usage in particular and make our appreciation of both our native languages and our learnt ones stronger...!!
