Really my only question is why the Apothecary Diaries intro is sung by Shakira? Honestly, wild

All plot important people. The people in the apartment are my first priority, but if I can spare a dopple or two I don't mind that at all.
*They stare back at him.*
That's an oddly specific number, huh? Technically it doesn't have meaning yet. It gains meaning in the future, of course.
42 looked like it was satisfied with something. If 42 had a more or less normal face right now, it would've probably had some smug grin, which would be an unusual sight.

( I knew there was something "out of this world" about me. )
42 most likely already knew exactly that, but it was like it wanted to hear someone else say it. So the feeling of some superiority 42 had somewhere deep inside was not phantom. Even if it doesn't do great in fooling, 42 doesn't seem to be bothered by it since it knows that. And it doesn't seem to be 42's meaning of life. Even if it is a being of deception and replacement, which is...kind of supposed to do that? Well, it's not like 42's body was its own.

I think I’m going to start saying tone tags out loud because if one more person reads my involuntary grimacing and terrified posture wrong I am going to have to resort to beginning sentences about the way I feel about things with “despite the way I look”

Even after all this time and awareness, it feels like asexuality is still not treated like a proper sexuality. Recently had a girl tell me that she was at a place where she ‘felt so asexual’ because all the other girls were so beautiful and guys were ignoring her because of it. She didn’t know I was asexual and I didn’t take offence (I know she didn't meant it in a malicious way) but it does feel uncomfortable that people are using ‘asexual’ in lieu of ‘unattractive' or 'lacking sexual appeal.' It's really giving 90's/early 2000's slang of using 'gay' to mean 'lame.' Even shows like Brooklyn 99 which took immense pride in being progressive with their comedy, had an episode where one of the characters says "Oh, and I'm sorry if we implied you're both asexual nerds who can only be friends with service animals."
I have mentioned this before also, when I talked about how I feel like people are more comfortable erasing the identities of canonical aro/ace characters in media but act like it's unacceptable with other sexualities... but it does feel like asexuality (and aromanticism tbh) are still not considered 'real' sexualities. In the case of shipping fictional characters, I understand there is nuance to that issue and so don't want to get into it, but it does kinda add to my point.
Why is it that people treat asexuality like it's not a sexuality? Why is it that when I come out to people I'm met with insistence that I'm wrong about my sexuality, that I'm 'self diagnosing' (it's not a medical condition), that I'm probably 'just inexperienced' or haven't 'met the right person' or have a hormone issue? Why can't people just accept that it's a sexuality like any other??

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

Why do you eat humans? Do they taste good or something?
For some reason 42 seemed to be...offended by the question? Well, not really offended, but somewhat caught off guard.

( Trust me, it is not me who you should ask this, I am no expert about it. That is right, I may not mind doing that, but I do not get human often. Not that I am complaining, though. )
There's definitely something hidden between the lines 42 just said. It may be saying the truth about not getting to humans often, but 42 never mentioned what it feels about the human flesh. But it might be obvious. At least 42 is not addictive to it. Because if it was...42 wouldn't have been so elusive in the first place. It would've probably even died at some point.
