I was reading the comments on the 300 sandwiches story, and one said, roughly "Ace casting on Benedict Cumberbatch. But who for the artisanal butcher who was there for her the whole time but she didn't realize it?" "Mark Ruffalo" was the reply.

I thought of us.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The story is like something out of a fairytale, one of those weird old German ones you can't read to kids, where an peasant girl's stepmother forces her to make 300 sandwiches for the Devil, and then a series of horrible things happen to the girl, and at the end of the story she freezes to death.

Love this.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

did you see Fallon's lip sync off?

HIGHLY entertaining. 10 minutes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I saw it here! Good times.

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

Thanks for skipping and skimming my posts, LeN. Good thing I'm all cried out for the day already...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh ita! I've been prepping for class. My apologies. I thought I caught everything, but damn.

Nothing, IMO, will top the Jane Eyre/dinosaur joke made here and immortalized in the BRQG. I can't remember the setup, but the punch line is, "Reader, I trampled him."

I thought the punch line was "Reader, I ate him."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Definitely trampled - the setup was a misspelling of Bronte as Bronto (typo or autocorrect).

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

I would have misidentified that as a Jane Austen rather than Jane Eyre joke, because I am ignorant, but I would have laughed, because it is funny.
