(voice of a girl who's already weird about it) can i be weird about this

i love how the forward of every hitchhikers book is like, "yeah this book has no fucking plot. it has no fucking coherent characters. but are you really here for the plot or for the shits and giggles?"

Odysseus: We agreed we'd meet without backup. Are you alone?

Trojan: Yes. Are you alone?

(Diomedes steps out of the shadows)

how to be a paleontologist in ten steps:

fall in love with the exceptionally dead

have questions about how they lived their lives

try to answer those questions

see how much we literally cannot know about the exceptionally dead

try to figure it out anyway through sheer chutzpah

succeed less than 1% of the time

cry

have an existential crisis about everything we cannot possibly know

contemplate doing something easier. like brain surgery or rocket science.

repeat

I can't believe the Voltron crisis lasted only two years. Seven seasons in two years. Deranged. Awful time to be online. PEAK shipping discourse. And the evil is defeated.
