primeidealUnsolicited rec: on the way to visit my aunt and uncle I heard this on the radio. Takes the trope about the "World's Smallest Violin" and runs with it. "I can't help myself from feeling bad/I kind of feel like two things can be sad." Oof.
Also. One of the first books I read on the Kindle was "Gideon the Ninth," which is about weird necromantic space nuns and a mysterious competition in an ancient abandoned castle. The Kindle, when it's booting up from rest mode, has a few default images that it rotates through, including fancy typewriter letters. One of them is this. And my reaction was "wow, that sure does look like a bunch of mysterious figures in veils gathered for some nefarious purposes, it must be the cover image for Gideon the Ninth." It was a little strange that none of the other books had those kinds of images, but whatever, some of them are more obscure.
Anyway, a couple days ago, I realized...it's pencaps. Fancy fountain pens, to go along with the writing/reading/typesetting theme. I am very smart!
