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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Why won't people answer "what time is good for you?"

Or my favorite:

"When is good for you?"
"X, Y, or Z. Do any of those work for you?"
"I don't know - I don't even have my calendar on me."

HULK SMASH AND PUNCH YOU.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Deadly cute baby porcupine!

That is one cute porcupet.

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

Your hair's not even the same color it was last year.

I don't know if I was blonde last year.

It seems like you should know this. Go check your hair calendar from last year.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yes, that's worse.

Eta: Aims' favorite. Not ita's hair. Which is fine in its unchanging immutable unknownness.

Because books.

English teachers and general hivemind: What's a good text for a tenth grade English student, in terms of discussing symbolism? Other than, like, The Scarlet Letter?

I forgot ita's hair wasn't blonde anymore.

Ooh, good one, Tep. I wanted to stay away from Heart of Darkness or the aforementioned Hester Prynne.

"Eee-gor, right?"
"No, it's pronounced 'Eye-gor'."
"But they told me it was 'Eee-gor'."
"Well, they were wrong, weren't they?"
