Rule Of Three - Tumblr Posts
Excuse the semi-personal post if I bore anyone; it seemed tangentially-related, so make of it what you will:
Yesterday, I discovered that I had somehow devised a formula or a partly unintentional “uniform” for dressing for semi-formal events, on the occasions when I don’t bother wearing a dress. It’s happened thrice so far this year, and I’ve only caught onto the pattern now: item one is some kind of formal, black top (it’s been a different one every time—that could be why I didn’t catch onto to this at the start), item two is usually pale, grey pants, for high contrast and low-effort/thought, and then, there's silver jewelry.
If Sophie and Rafal actually had a straightforward conversation during TLEA:
Rafal: But why don’t you want to marry me? Give me three good reasons.
Sophie: Why three? [She makes a mental note to count to three before murdering him.]
Rafal: [gestures vaguely] Rule of Three. Fairy tales. Etcetera. You're a Reader. You should know by now.
Sophie: [witheringly] Well, one: You killed me. Two: I shouldn’t need another reason, but I’ll play along—you’re an axe murderer. There. [She crosses her arms.] Three: The reasons shouldn’t have to be "good," considering that it’s you I’m speaking to. Satisfied?
