@inametaphor oh that makes more sense! i was imagining it like, perched on a drainpipe and just chucking em

@inametaphor i am primarily confused by the question of how the legos are getting onto the roof in the first place, in order for the pigeon to toss them off

@shadyspotlight @Betty once ran across a description of Hamilton that gave him a “peaches and cream” complexion and spent some time debating with sibling if this was meant to imply his color was uneven

@Betty this doesn’t feel totally out of left field as an evocative term, eg. coppertone obviously used the same language to convey the aesthetic of a deep tan

but i’m also not sure exactly what they are trying to evoke, either

@Betty Lan Huan probably DOES have to like you a lot to admit he hates you to your face tbf

@Betty some sort of socially formalized/ritualized duels for their brother’s honors?

@rowyn @ljwrites oh yeah but usually not because without the wolf red riding hood doesn’t matter — its the whole logic of his argument i find creepy much more than identifying with the wolf itself

@ljwrites to be clear, you can tell just from his victims own narratives he knows what he’s doing and he’s lost the right to tell his own stories about himself on this subject with his heinous actions

but its pretty creepy how he was able to just basically come out and say it and no one…cared

@ljwrites re: the whole “Neil didn’t know what he was doing” spiel, he posted in two thousand FOUR about how he identifies with the wolf from red riding hood because it “makes the story happen” and explicitly acknowledges the stories rapey overtones. So like, he’s literally told us himself he identifies with rapists?
