Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. The mushroom was grown on a coffee farm. That must explain it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Man, I need a life with more leisure. Or less responsibility. Or more sick time.

I think platform peep toe shoes are of dubious work-appropriateness, but when your toes overhang it's definitely a no go. Of course, this woman has also attended meetings in shorts, so I'm not responding with surprise.

Will be heading to the local sci-fi independent bookstore (they sell a fair amount of Buffyverse related books) today to pimp Allyson's book (if they don't already have it.)

Punishingly Intricate

well it depends on the nature of your work

but when your toes overhang it's definitely a no go.

this is just always wrong. Also, heels hanging off the back. or sides of feet hanging off the sides. (hate a poorly fitted shoe!)

Or shoes that are too big so you shuffle along trying to keep them from falling off.
