"Gotta be honest with you two, I think 'war' ought to be a curse word. You know what they say; it's Tartarus."

Applejack shook her head. "No, I gotta disagree there. War's war; Tartarus is Tartarus. War's worse."

Rainbow Dash raised a red eyebrow. "Yeah? How d'ya figure?"

"Good creatures don't go to Tartarus."

isn't that just a MASH quote?

ChelG · Oct 29, 2021 at 8:39 PM

Never seen MASH, I'm afraid.

Deresto · Oct 29, 2021 at 9:03 PM

Still a good quote, even if it was pulled from something else! It evokes certain emotions very strongly so why not spread that feeling?

Also MASH is really great and I recommend it, radar and klinger are my faves. Storyline is set in a mobile army surgical hospital in Korea during the war, and has some dark humor because it's not a happy place, not that any field hospital is. The characters are very deeply thought out

YggiDee · Oct 29, 2021 at 10:38 PM

Yep, it's a classic from M*A*S*H. Still good though.

"Nothing better to get you in the mood more than..." He peers at the menu. "Scorpion blood tiramisu. Uh. Maybe I should look closer at what I'm ordering before I put the whole thing in my mouth."

"Scorpion blood isn't actually scorpion blood; they just call it that because it's blue."

‘Here’s the thing, Lalonde. How am I supposed to know that when I’ve never seen you confronted with a dick, and especially because I’ve never seen you confronted with my dick. The only thing that this author left out of their incredibly realistic depiction of exactly what it would be like if we were to get down and dirty right now, is the reason why you would drool over my crotch appendage, which is obviously because it is made of steak wrapped in bacon. I’m surprised you don’t drool whenever I walk into a room, I know the effect I can have. It can be inconvenient, having such a delicious schlong, but there are benefits. You might think it’s blow jobs, but no, that’d be insanely risky, I couldn’t risk my man meat like that. The primary benefit is actually that it’s super easy to train dogs, because they give me their complete and undivided attention in the hopes that I’ll slice off a bit of Strider for them.’

You pause. Your brain catches up with what you just said.

‘That got weird,’ you observe.

‘And just like that, my boner is dead,’ Rose jokes.

‘Aw, need me to perform mouth-to-mouth?’ you ask.

‘No, I can see where this is going, and I don’t want to hear another necrophilia based rap. I’m just going to keep reading, and I promise I’ll make you sound like a human this time.’

He offered his hands to the kitten; when it scrambled up his sweater sleeve to reach his face, he adjusted naturally to support it, and inclined his cheek toward the sandpapery licking rather than away. “You named me? What did you name me, Raiju?”

The kitten peeped at length, and Midori translated: “The Feeling Of Static Making One’s Fur Stand Up. It’s more compact in our language, of course.”

Shisui couldn’t resist suggesting, “Sparky.”

The boy laughed, and though his eyes were still wet, it looked like happy tears now. “Raiju and Sparky, they fight crime! We gonna be a team, buddy?”

“Ing!” Raiju agreed enthusiastically.

From @jacktrash's fic Naruto and Katsuo are Friends, which is very like reading a warm bowl of stew on a cold day.

Idea I have to steal for something:

Getting them across any kind of border will be a challenge. (So will be leaving his mother's house behind. More than a challenge, a sacrifice.) (When it's for his family a man has got to do what a man has got to do.) Fortunately he knows where the boys hoped to end up, and it just so happens he agrees, if for his own reasons; Miss Harley and Mister English might be accustomed to being self-sufficient, but they are John's family and therefore his own and it's been nagging at him to leave them without any adult nearby.

...Come to think of it, the English boy did have that preposterously roomy fetch modus that he might be willing to lend...

Hmm. Note to self, measure the house.

Migrations by CorpseBrigadier said:

He watched, however, as both men swayed a moment in one another’s arms, his own eyes bright as Sabin craned his head to deliver that gesture that seemed a unique foible of man--mouth upon mouth--a bite that was kind.

Paranatural said:

"I'm cool!" The latter was debatable, but the fact that he was holding a lightsaber in one hand and had instinctively snapped the other into a scout's honor salute made that debate unspoken and expedient.

J is for Janviere
Frozen and cold
A silent immortal
A thousand years old
Ever since she discovered
The Sorceror's Stone
There have been none to love her
She wanders alone
Her tale is tragic
With no one to tell
Where she hid the body
Of Nicholas Flamel

P is for Paris
Just swimming in prose!
Her lips weren't pink only
They bloomed like a rose!
Like wheat in the sunshine
The gold of her hair
Her eyes, how they sparkled
As clear as the air!
Her skin was as white
As the robe of a saint
And it's that lack of iron
Keeps making her faint

“My grandfather tried opening a school, once,” Mobei Jun said. “No one attended until he started threatening to rip off limbs. And even then he had a problem with truancy. And later on, a problem with all his servants missing limbs. What changed?”

The demon shrugged. “We’re properly motivated now?”

“By porn?”

The demon nodded happily.

“And does your school read anything that’s not porn?” Mobei Jun asked.

The demon looked confused. “…Not…porn?”

“Trust me, Jersey. It’s just an expensive circles of rich boys reaffirming every good thing they’ve ever heard about themselves. They call the place a school, but honestly, the only thing people learn there is how not to break their wrists jerking one another off.”

"So what— you got accepted but turned them down on principle?

At this it was McGucket’s turn to snort. “Oh, no. I’m not an idiot. I absolutely enrolled. I mean, Momma raised her baby with principles, but she didn’t raise an absolute blathering moron with principles—it’s West Coast Tech! No one turns down West Coast Tech! It’s the best college in the country!”

Ford started to sober up a bit at that, but a smile still quirked at his lips. “So what happened? Why are you here?”

“Well, like you said, shit happens. I may have started a fire or two.”

This was news to Ford, who shook his head, trying not let out another bout of laughter as McGucket continued.

“Or three…. or four...., or really it might have been seven, but—”

Okay, new headcanon of enby Mariel/Storm. This reads exactly like MT/Lake's story in Infinity Train.

And validation comes in Dandin, calling her by her name, her true name; in Durry, fumbling no more than twice, and never slipping again; in Tarquin, being baffled over the not-change in name in the first place and going Mariwotsit now? Eh? No? Why’d you go and bally well tell me if it’s not important, then? Speaking of, Storm m’girl, that trifle right there-; in introducing herself as Storm Gullwhacker, her once-noose in her paw, salt-breeze in her bones, and sand in her fur, and it is right. It is true. It is true in the way a storm is, and Storm is; perhaps truer to herself than Mariel ever dared to be.
