That awkward moment when

You're describing your experience seeing 300 on its first run at the local theatre in Park Ex (i.e. Little Greece for non-Montrealers), and the person you're talking to is like "I'm Persian".

...That wasn't me, for the record. And it turned out she liked the movie. I guess there was no way of mistaking the contents of the film for what actually happened at Thermopylae. XD;

I keep thinking of stuff I should have brought up in the 30 days of fanfic meme and forgot

I swear to bob if I ever write XM:FC fanfiction, it will be in two parts from Charles' and Erik's POVs and they will be respectively titled "Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis" and "Bohr-van Leeuwen Theorem". Because BOTH POINT OUT SOMETHING WRONG do you see

IDK, I keep expecting someone to write the fic where Charles is all "yes with practice you'll be able to move larger objects" while internally he's like "oh fuckballs quantum mechanics FABRIC OF REALITY, ok ok Xavier play it cool". It's sort of like in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where the statement of the power tends to be ridiculous: like Bruno does not quote "create zippers" unquote. But it makes for a pleasing symmetry because Charles's power is also quantums. In fact they may be aspects of the same power. Math is weird.

Basically my ideas for the fandom boil down to "side-eying the science handwave, forever".
