The other week I crashed at my parents house and when I settled down my mom kissed me on the forehead for the first time in nearly a decade and I almost burst into tears. How's your day going?

Sooo on my annual re-read of six of crows I noticed something interesting about all the nicknames jesper gives wylan. In most cases it wasn't actually jesper who came up with the nickname or the teasing remark, it was Kaz.

Merchling is the most common of them but wylan was first called that by Kaz on page 130, "marketable skills" was what Kaz called wylans memory of the ice court on page 122, hidden dephs came a little after that, etc.

The thing I find most interesting is that when Kaz says these things they're seen for what they are, barbs at wylan, but each time jesper picks them up they take on this soft teasing vibe like a little kid with his first crush.

Jesper regularly tried to embrace kaz's brand of cruelty and harshness but each time he fell just a little short of actually being insulting because no matter how hard he tried in the beginning of the books he couldn't ever bring himself to embrace that way of treating people, especially wylan.

Sorry for the long post, this was just something I noticed and wanted to share!

Have...have I been eating rotisserie chicken wrong? How else are you supposed to get all the meat if you don't use your hands?? Am I supposed to just leave perfectly good chicken on the bone just because a fork or knife can't get to it????

"if you're going to eat that rotisserie chicken please do it in an area where none of us can see" you hate me. you hate me because i have different eating habits than you and you want me to STARVE

OK, so.

I have rewatched Nope in a quiet room with no interupptions as God (Jordan peele) intended and I have some new opinions on some characters specifically Jupe so buckle up motherfuckers cause this is all I'm going to talk about for quite awhile!

The first time I watched the movie I hated Jupe and thought he was a egotistical moron who doomed himself and everyone he loved for another chance at fame but on the second rewatch I realized that I felt nothing but pity for him.

Jupe was a traumatized child til the very end and was never able to move on from the Gordy's home incident. He had to believe he was chosen or special because if he didn't then that meant he survived unscathed for no reason other then a tablecloth and and good timing and that truly would have broken him more then the truma ever could.

From that point on that was all he was because he could never move past it to the point where he got all the pieces of his personality and brand from before the Gordy incident, because he genuinely did not know how to move away from it, so he just...didn't. He recycled these pre written parts from his past to be his future, the western theme and the over the top cowboy persona, for God's sake the costumes his kids wore were just old camera reels on monkey bodies (a detail I never would have pieced together with scrolling through the nope tag)

The parallels between childhood Jupe looking at Gordy through the tablecloth to adult jupe looking at Jean Jacket was the final moment where I decided he wasn't a character meant to be hated, he's a character meant to be pitited. He has always been a scared kid both outrunning his past and chasing it in this never ending cycle who finally found out that he wasn't chosen or special or magic. He was saved by a table cloth once, but once was all he got.

Do you ever get really sad about where you are in life and how much easier it would be to stop trying but then you think about your mom finding out how much you want to get rid of the life she gave you and that keeps you going for another few weeks then the cycle repeats itself until it's your birthday and you've somehow made it to 21
