I don't really think she thought removing the gem would leave Rose and Steven as two separate individuals, but I also don't think it would've registered as killing to her. Killing would be shattering Rose's gem. The Steven form might be gone, but that wouldn't be a tragedy to her the way it would be to a…

Well, I know whatever interest I had in bringing a kid into this world has taken a sharp nosedive since November, so…

In retrospect, I suppose that should've registered as the fifth seal or something,

Can the apocalypse just get here already? I'm tired of the slow, confused torture, and I don't think I want to know what comes after Justin Bieber saying something I agree with.

Tumblr is a great platform for visual stuff, but for writers…it almost makes me miss LiveJournal. (It also makes me worry about the long-term future of literacy, but that may be more than a little alarmist.)

Can we put whoever designed it in charge of Electoral College reform, then?

I seriously think this is how we need to cover his tweets from now on. Just set aside a corner of the newspaper (let's say page 6; that's probably where he'll go looking anyway), leave 'em there, asterisk anything that needs to be asterisked, and save the front-page real estate for when he causes an actual…

So how many episodes before they find an excuse to do a musical?

My husband's convinced Eric Trump's a Founder who hasn't quite gotten the hair thing down.

Bah. Morel, I say!

I dunno. I don't want to underestimate Lin-Manuel Miranda, but faux-medieval folk ballads are not really a thing I imagined being in his wheelhouse.

I would've been totally happy with him just dithering around the magic school for hundred and hundreds of pages. (Or I thought I would, until whatever the heck that Auri novella was.)

I don't even know how you'd make that work. Stop-motion animation and hand the audience complimentary magic mushrooms on the way in?

To be fair, following up Fiona Staples with almost anything else is going to be a bit of a comedown.

I don't think it contradicts anything vis a vis his feelings toward humans, but it does kinda cheapen the special relationship he has with burgers.
