You can put me down now.
“she had wild clothes, frosted hair, and a red corvette with california plates bearing the legend JUDY P. her voice was loud and rose frequently to a screech, which rang though the house like the cries of some terrifying tropical bird.”
realizes that henry and the macaulays are assholes 90% of the time
when camilla said something rude to her she threw her drink in her face because it was “that kind of night and “just seemed like the thing to do, you know?”
the only one of the classics group who she doesn’t seem to hate is francis which is such a valid fucking opinion
she’s a costume design major and gives richard some random suit from the costume shop to wear to lunch with bunny
did cocaine with richard in a burger king parking lot
altered her university issued desk area into a totally decked out vanity complete with a glass top and a satin skirt
“all it does here is fucking snow.”
“judy (judy! god bless her!)”
“richard,” judy would say, reaching across the table to squeeze my hand, “you must eat”
“actually, i was often glad of their company. despite her faults, judy was a kindly soul, and she was so bossy and talkative that i felt oddly safe with her.”
she actually cares so much about richard even though he treats her like shit most of the time
while watching a movie she managed to paint her fingernails, smoke a cigarette, and drink a diet coke all at the same time
lets richard take her car to take charles to the ER
became a certified aerobics instructor and appears regularly on an exercise program called “power moves!”
moral of the story is if richard would’ve just been friends with judy and co. then maybe his whole life wouldn’t have gone to shit
[…] I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An Inch, it is small and it is fragile, but it is the only thing the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you. -Valerie

You know what makes Her Sweet Kiss the absolute worst?? This from the interactive map:
It’s one of Jaskier’s most famous ballads, and not only that, but people know it’s about Geralt and Yennefer’s romance. Which! Means! That there should only be two sets of pronouns in that song. Something like the third person and second person.
But no, it has that and the first person. So, because it’s one of Jaskier’s songs, it’s absolutely canon that Jaskier is the first person, Yennefer is her, and Geralt is you.
Do the people also realise that Jaskier is calling Geralt his love? Who knows? It seems wild that they wouldn’t know or realise. Maybe when Jaskier plays the song, there are whispers: “Oh, I heard that this song is about his love for the witcher.” “Heard that too, shame the poor boy can’t let go.” “Yeah, I noticed the tears in his eyes, poor lad.”
It certainly seems, with all the evidence, that Jaskier being in love with Geralt, and it being unrequited, is gonna be canon…

lets be real—
everyone’s favorite ghost boi is the most levelheaded hargreeves sibling. look me in the eye and tell me he wouldn’t be able to fix everything. thats right, you can’t.
one of my favorite (read: least favorite) things about how people treat cleopatra is she’s so often called a slut or is only ever portrayed as being this incredibly sexy, often scantily-clad seductress, when in actuality 1. while some ancient sources describe her as somewhat pretty, it generally seems that what was attractive about her was her intellect, charm, and voice, and the sources that refer to her as extremely sexy/slutty are specifically out to condem her, 2. she was a brilliant politician who chose her affairs as a way of securing power for her country and not just so she could have a bunch of sex (which shouldn’t be an issue anyway), and 3. one of the men she had an affair with was mark antony, ancient roman super slut supreme, a man known for his love of sex and tendency to wear extremely short tunics for the sake of showing off his sexy legs/probably also his dick
i’m not saying there’s anything wrong with portraying cleopatra as beautiful or even sexy, because she clearly had allure. all i’m saying is that, if your cleopatra is wearing less clothing than your mark antony, there’s probably a problem in your depiction of them
