Okay So Imagine Your Standard Medieval European Fantasy Setting. Now Imagine Theres No Magic. Like Theres

Okay so imagine your Standard Medieval European Fantasy Setting™. Now imagine there’s no magic. Like there’s still a concept of it sure, with superstitions and all that. But you will never encounter an actual wizard or anything.

But you know what is in this otherwise-fantasy setting? Superpower mutations.

Can someone please explain to me what evaporated milk is? Wouldn’t that just be gas by definition? I live in constant fear

“There were meetings. There were always meetings. And they were dull, which is part of the reason they were meetings. Dull likes company.”

A joking tweet comes for my throat

It postulates a fiction trope

Wherein a character of note

Succumbs to mind control to cope

The jape goes on, assurance made

Its author’d not capitulate

When faced with diamond or with jade

Yet one device may seal their fate—

Owauauaugh—we’re far too late.

Okay i know i myself have made jokes on Mr Darcy hating to spend time with Mr. Collins but. I feel like of the two of them Darcy is probably significantly less annoyed than Lizzie by Collins simply bc 1) he never received The most obnoxious proposal in the world from him 2) the combination of Darcy's superior rank and his not being an Elegant Female puts him in a position to just tell Collins to stop talking and probably be thanked for the privilege. Darcy probably just lets him talk for five minutes and then is all "hm. I'd like to meditate on that in silence for a while. Very intriguing." And gets like an hour of peace

“It looked like a large, ornate pot, almost as high as a man of large pot height.”
