This may be overly-earnest but I'm saying it anyway: I read the Jane Eyre femslash post at a time when I was feeling alone in the world, and when I had finished reading it I realized I was not, that somewhere out there, there were people like me.

And ever since then I have kept it bookmarked on my phone, and when I read "(how old were you, by the way, when you found out how St. John is pronounced? How badly did it shake you?)" I know you're all out there.

It was also in "Laddie" by Gene Stratton Porter. The teacher coos "Birds in their little nests agreeeee," and the narrator immediately shouts, "Ho, but they don't! They fight like anything!" The teacher gets angry and smacks her.

Agree 100%.

I think my main complaints that were not covered by Mallory and Nicole were:

- Cover your ears, Bucky
- What's the TV trope for a super-elaborate plan that relies on coincidences and people behaving EXACTLY the way you expect them to? Like,

villain dude intentionally calls the housekeeper for breakfast so that she will go into his apartment and he just knows she won't leave the tray by the door, she'll look in the bathroom and find the body, and

when the body and the Bucky prosthetics are found, villain dude knows that Tony will get this information and realize Bucky was framed, and he will tell Ross, but Ross will not believe Tony, and Ross will make no effort to independently verify that Bucky was framed, and no other law enforcement agency will put it together and tell him, and

because of this, Tony will turn to Falcon to find out where Cap and Bucky are, and although Falcon would not normally tell him, he will tell him once he sees the evidence that Bucky was framed, and

Tony will arrive BEFORE Cap and Bucky find the villain, and thus the villain will be able to cue the video, prompting Tony to attack Bucky

I mean, there were so many places where that plan could have gone wrong.

/end rant

I really did enjoy the movie though.

HERE IS MY THEORY ON WHY WE ARE TOLD IT'S "COFFEE AND BACON"

Just a few scenes earlier, we saw two guys talking to each other through a door. Hesitating. One guy ultimately deciding to trust and open the door - and getting killed.

So now they want to introduce this housekeeper character, because she's going to find the body later. But the villain will look really stupid if he just GOES AND OPENS THE DOOR bc they just illustrated how dangerous that would be.

So they made sure his breakfast was very STRONG-SMELLING food and drink. And he opens the door and remarks, "I could smell it through the door." And that's how we know that he deduced it was safe to open the door.

It is a very small detail but I believe that's the reason why it's there. It worked for me.

RICK AND MORTY COMIC. I'm pretty sure this was not an intentional shout-out? But I still like it?

Both thought Parks and Recreation dropped off sharply after season 3

This is proof! I can be pretend-friends with you, Mallory!

Oh God, last night I dreamed I was dating Mallory and I was excited about meeting her family but then they all hated me. I've felt dejected all morning over the dream-rejection.

OH MY GOD are you me?

I still remember arguing with my playmate about this. We were make-believe escaping, and I insisted that we had to pack imaginary hunks of cheese before our escape.

She kept saying the cheese would give her diarrhea.

Make-believe diarrhea, I said with finality, and we brought the hunks of cheese.
