I Think I Will Never Recover From This Book

I think I will never recover from this book

I will never get over the unparalleled comedy of robot characters learning How To Human from autistic characters.

Honestly, big fan of how fucking Weird™ Neuvillette is

He can't do small talk for shit, his idea of a pastime is standing soaking wet in the rain with no umbrella, he'll infodump cool water facts at you given half the opportunity. He's the adoptive father of several dozen(?) immortal kids. He's a lawyer. He's inexplicably talented at making pottery.

He's somehow simultaneously the coolest and the lamest person in Fontaine

Real observations since I started wearing a wizard hat daily:

- Brim is so wide that I stay BONE DRY taking walks in the rain

- Brim can be positioned to block the sun from ever getting in my eyes AND keeping it off the back of my neck

- The pointed top part creates an air pocket, keeping my head from getting hot or squishing my hair as it might in a ball cap

- Hat can easily be pulled down over the tips of my ears without looking dumb, protecting them from wind chill

- Strangers say they like my hat, giving me the chance to tell them that I am a wizard

- When you’re wearing a wizard hat, ALL OTHER FASHION CHOICES become secondary, allowing you to branch out with style

Embrace ego death. Stay protected from all elements. Wear a wizard hat.

Gideon "Would wish you a good night's sleep with a kiss on the forehead" Jura and Liliana "would be passive aggressive about demanding a kiss on the forehead before going to sleep" Vess

Akiza: I'm so happy, I could kiss you!

Yusei: Um...Neat.

*later*

Yusei, struggling to fix his Duel Runner: I said "Neat," Jack. Who the f*** says neat these days? It's not neat to say neat but I said it anyways because I'm f***ing stupid.

Jack, drinking a cup of coffee: Don't beat yourself up too much, Yusei. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what I did when Carly confessed her love for me?

Yusei: Didn't you thank her?

Jack: *harshly puts down his cup and looks at the ceiling* I f***ing thanked her.
