So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriend—who unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!—by becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the “friend zone”.

Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!

Don’t forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about

It always fuck me up that older people don’t understand how this story is as essential to most american children as Gone with the Wind or Mary Poppins was.

unironically, this is one of the best books/movies for young people that exists

Kissing Kate Did Nothing Wrong

And the technical writing of Holes is perfect. Like, it’s one of the most technically-perfect books ever written. Basically any plotting or pacing or characterization issue you’re having, read Holes and really study how Sachar did it. THE LIZARDS! THE LIZARDS.

the reveal of Zero’s full name made me legit gasp in shock and have to pace around my room for like ten minutes. this book is so good.

I would argue that cargo shorts on a straight dude are inherently sexy. this is the breeding trait of a man who does not expect you to carry his stuff. he’s self-sufficient, he has his own pockets, he doesn’t expect to be constantly taking up real estate in your bag. and he’s willing to make the sacrifice of looking like a complete dork to maintain that dynamic. alluring

to everyone in the notes saying women and queer people too, you miss my point. cargo shorts have always been sexy on women and queer people. cargo shorts are innately stylish on women and queer folks. this is such an obvious law of the universe it’s practically redundant, because DUH. but see this post is about your standard cishet men who look like absolute dorks in cargo shorts. except that in this very particular case, that dorkiness is outweighed by the inherent sexiness of them not expecting women to carry their stuff.

the sexiest cishet man in the world is a father of 3 whose cargo shorts are loaded up with tissues and snacks for his kids. pure eroticism

This is more punk than the whole of punk history.

I’ll tell you what’s ferocious. Freddie’s comeback to Sid calling him “Freddie Platinum” when they were recording down the hall from each other at London’s Wessex Studios (Queen for News of the World, Pistols for Bollocks).

Sid Vicious made the mistake one day of bursting into Queen’s control room and antagonizing their frontman. “Have you succeeded in bringing ballet to the masses, then?” he sneered. “Oh, yes, Simon Ferocious,” Mercury replied. “We’re trying our best, dear.” 

Then, according to Queen biographer Daniel Nester, Freddie rose from his chair and began to playfully flick the safety pins displayed on the front of Sid’s leather jacket. “Tell me,” he asked, “did you arrange these pins just so?” When Sid stepped forward in an attempt to intimidate Freddie, the singer simply pushed him backwards and inquired, “What are you going to do about it?” Sid immediately backed down.

Freddie Mercury may very well have had the biggest dick energy of anyone who ever lived

ok I knew Jaskier was a master of the seven liberal arts but I had no idea what they actually were until I looked them up and wouldn’t u know it, astronomy is one of them, which encompasses navigation, mathematics and actual physics. Now I’m laughing at this thought:

Some mage who Geralt got hired to kill a monster or smth for idk: damn this equation I’m doing for a spell isn’t working

Jaskier, a bard who the mage saw being yelled at by Geralt earlier because he tried to fuck the Lord’s son and nearly succeeded: that’s because you’re doing it wrong lol

Mage: you are literally a bard wdym

Jaskier, a bard who has the equivalent of a physics masters degree: yeah and

Jaskier has the time period equivalent of education as the band Queen. If not more so.

Hey y’all so what’s included in Seven Liberal Arts has changed a lot over time but usually are something like the four “scientific” arts- music, arithmetic, geometry, and astronomy- plus the three humanities- grammar, logic, and rhetoric. It’s based on creating a base of knowledge and critical thinking allowing you to then expand in the directions you prefer (i.e. music for Jaskier)

Alchemy/chemistry, biology, religion, history, philosophy, fine arts, geography, anthropology, linguistics and many other fields have been swapped in/out (or!!!!! the field didn’t exist as a separate thing yet so it was just included in another one)

HOWEVER

this means feasibly Jaskier can do such things as

1. argue as a lawyer and draft estates/wills
2. use the stars for navigation
3. teach as many kinds of professor
4. basics of architecture and/or helping a carpenter/smith interpret plans for a building or two (… or ultra rare sword)
5. brewing potions or alcohol
6. take a posting as a castellan/scribe/clerk
7. be a bard specializing in historical epics or know a shit ton about historical landmarks 
8. be a traveling priest/monk/mystic/cleric [remember folx- we don’t have Christianity in the Witcher world and many religions have religious authorities/figures that are allowed to live among the public and fuck if they want]
9. create detailed illustrations of people, animals/monsters, plants, etc and talk about taxonomy and ecology
10. also practice limited medicine- mixed results. For sure have some abilities to make common recipes of medicine and identify symptoms- I think if you wanted to be any better than that you had to study under a Barber-Surgeon Guild
    

Yeah. He has the education equivalent of the band Queen
