I think they went too far making Mellie sympathetic. I liked her better heartless and manipulative. Man, I don't even know what needs spoiler-fonting, I only have vague points to make.
Oz is the highest-scoring person ever to fail to graduate.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Me too, -t. Giving her a rape to explain away all the bad behaviour, pretty much, and to maintain the marriage too? Talk about sins of the father.
Okay, I need a queer education. When would you tell someone you're a Pillow Princess, and what's a Stone Butch? And a million other terms I am now learning I know nothing of. I would like to redress this fault.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've never heard either of those terms.

I get irrationally angry at myself when I bite my lip accidentally. Like, body of mine, WHY are you hurting YOURSELF??? No one wins here! STAAAAHP.
I feel that way when I bite my tongue. Which I sometimes do in my sleep, which sucks.
I haven't watched Scandal yet (I'm watching last night's Grey's). But I agree that Mellie is my favorite. I saw Fitz in some other show the other day and it confused the heck out of me.

Generally one does not label one's self as a Pillow Princess, as it's usually a somewhat derogatory term. Stone butch generally means someone butch who doesn't want to be touched during sex.

I saw an interesting line about Scandal where they decided that Cyrus was gay based off the way the actor played him. I wonder what in particular that was.
Zen, it was from this really badly named article: [link]

Ah, I saw that picture set before somewhere else. What other terms did you not know? (And apparently someone DOES label herself as a pillow princess. I guess if you find someone who's down with that...)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I earned 75 cents from buying some fruit snacks, but I think I'm allergic to them. Just ate some, and my mouth is all tingly. (There are a bunch of savings apps that list a bunch of products each week, and if you buy those products and submit a picture of the receipt to the app, then you get 50 cents or $1 or so sent to your PayPal account. This week, those fruit snacks were listed on two different apps, plus they were on sale at my local store, plus there was a coupon for them, so the amount of money I got back from the apps was 75 cents more than what I paid for them.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Stone butch generally means someone butch who doesn't want to be touched during sex.
But, but...I understand maybe sometimes for fun, but never?

Because books.

That was my thought. It seems like it defeats a whole lot of the point of sex.
