I'm not going backwards to snippet the best parts I just REALLY wanted to share this because ahhhhh it hits just right, right now

Corruption. Corruption never changes. From UK, Ukraine, China, Japan, Philippines, USA, Africa, South America...

oh England lmfao very Thick of It

lol poor Maggie

rofl Art is such a lunatic

ahhhhhhhhhhh I needed the laugh (hence reading this)

Holy shit that sounds so fun. I love Art he's crazy fun

SO IS DAPHNE HOLY SHIT

I was hysterically laughing last night and scaring kopperhed but it is actually biologically GOOD for my lung and body because when I laugh I get rid of the bad phlegm and my blood oxygen goes up I know because it was VITAL after the coma etc.

Also shit I needed that. I spent 3 hours crying earlier because America is so dystopic right now

Semi-not-really related re: Teller of Small Fortunes, I take it back. It has a Prince of Tennis first manga flow. Anytime I am like "well that was pointless" /in Satan watching the dionsaurs nuked by meteor tone

It gets brought back around

SPOILERS LIKE FUCK FOR TELLER OF SMALL FORTUNES: Putting it here because I don't feel like another plurk for it since I'm not capping it

-- The phoenix thing was a note of how important the parent-child bond is, so not only do they fail it, which spurs Tao to do anything she can to get Mash's daughter back, but it foments the healing relationship with her own mother. AND IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL /rainbow note

Just as I also really like the magical origin of fortune cookies since the historical real-world version is actually disappointing ((Post WW2 soldiers missed the cookies and traditions in Japan, and of all things, CHINESE restaurants had to carry the tradition on in USA , but yes, wildly successful, but also kind of wtf and racist ngl)

And I love that her Mom was lonely too ;~; because Margrave city SUUUUUUUUUCKS

something something back to the one book that makes England seem cooler
