Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

Quote:This would have been very disturbing anyway but then Pet's eye popped out and started rolling along the bottom of the boat. Great. Maybe she would be so fortunate as to have a kraken surface nearby and pluck her off the ship with one of its tentacles and kindly drown her.

Quote:"Thank you. I knew he was going to die, though. I have come to terms with it already. Nobody survives very long with a dent in their head," she replied, blinking rapidly in some attempt to clear the images from her head. (In hindsight, she'd realize that no child should have ever seen a body in such a state, even if it was her father and he wanted to see her before he died.)

Quote:Calliope had enough self-control not to start visibly at the unexpected answer to her question, but she felt a muscle in her cheek go taut with the effort of not altering her expression.

Quote:"I do hope," he answered at last, is tone soft, measured, and plainly greatly restrained, "that this is not the same Melody Finch whose father so badly yearned for your head that you had to go to Canada to keep it on your shoulders," a breath, before adding with great enunciation that betrayed all the anger and disappointment he had worked so hard to rein in, "empty thing though it is."

Quote:...Ben had known for years that he wasn't supposed to be talking with Melody Finch — and, it logically followed, he was certainly not supposed to be procuring illegal potions for her, secreting her out of her bedroom window for secret midnight conversations on rooftops, or making out with her in closets at parties. All of which he had done, and which had led to this unfortunate predicament.

Quote:Well, that was that then. Miss Finch was ruined, Reuben was ruined, Aldous was...not ruined, for he was not a young debutante whose future was tied to those of his siblings, but certainly not in awesome shape.

Quote:“Oh, pass me my shoes, would you?” This was to Loretta, of course, regardless of having just snapped at her. Odira did her best to be polite but Loretta was almost always likely to be the more submissive. (A shame she had been born too high in station to make a reputable housemaid, really. She would have done well in that life - one day she would have even made a perfect frumpy old housekeeper for someone!)
Calliope Zabini in grow up and blow away

I love Loretta but my favorite thing about her is her relationship with her sisters including the not at all easygoing one with Calliope. xD that said, someone marry her plz

tbh, that would be amazing. Hogsmeades streets overtaken by ferrets, Virgil the Ferret at the helm.

Quote:Ari opened his mouth to warn her that rubbing her eye with so inkstained a hand was only going to make her look like a panda, but he decided not to interrupt, and merely let her go on.

I'm cracking up at the idea of zelda having this convo while looking like a panda

Quote:“The good kind of hard?” Ari asked lightly, supposing that ‘showing interest’ was a largely inoffensive strategy. He did know a feeling or two when it came to work, though they did so in different fields: but they both solved problems, of a kind. Tried to fix things. “A puzzle that takes a bit of thinking? Or - bad hard? Like you don’t even know where to start?” Sometimes grappling with a problem that mattered - that had consequences - could be stimulating; one could throw all their time and energy into it, and plumb the depths of all logic and all ideas until coming up with a solution. (She looked like she’d been putting in rather a lot of thought.)

But there was a tipping point with every problem, wasn’t there? When it became too vast and too daunting and too painful to look at, let alone figure out.

Same thread, same post, love this.
