Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

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

Is it a trope with only two known instances? Otherwise I'd say the FF scene was an homage to B7

The trope is described as "accidental aiming" and is defined as when a person makes a difficult shot, and then admit they were trying for something entirely different. My position is that having the same narrative setup and the same line of dialogue is not an "accidental aiming" trope. It would be a tripe with an immutable punchline, a trope of A is held hostage by B who is disarmed by C who was actually trying to kill them--immutable dialogue ensues.

I think that's too precise for a trope. Fits homage better.

Got home from the pool and raked and bagged up 3 bags of leaves. Well, technically 2 & 3/4. But the 2 were really full. Took only an hour. In the dark.

Loki is freaking obsessed with my enamel kettle today. It's getting shoved all over the stove and I keep expecting a crash. I have no idea what his problem is, he's gotten outside time today!

I mean, the little freak is seriously blissed out purring and rubbing all over the handle. IDEK.

We also used tinfoil, obviously.

Obvi!

My brother is taunting me with on fb the news that that PJ grabbed his butt in Target so he got to yell out "I don't know who you are lady- why did you just grab my butt?!" Oh, and he apparently made an offer on a house. And we just talked last night, about house hunting! So they must've finally seen something they both liked.

Typical Josh.

The kitchen cabinets are ooky (they remind me of the stain in a heavy smoker's house) but other than that, the house is really interesting.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If I get this [link] for my nephew everyone will hate me, right? Except Grandpa. Grandpa will be highly amused. I may just get it anyway.

If nothing else, sharing a notebook is like letting guests into your home--tidying is a good idea even if they're not looking around. All the clipped recipes lying around the kitchen? Filed. The recipe my mother just told me over the phone? Handwritten into Lecture Notes, exported into Evernote.

Technology is some shit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If I get this [link] for my nephew everyone will hate me, right?

Shit, I want that for myself!
