Actual (not really) picture of me trying to be productive today after choosing to listen to the new @thepenumbrapod episode first thing in the morning:
“Have you ever heard the tale of the scorpion and the frog?” asks every show, movie, and book of the last decade.
“Yes,” sobs a tired planet, “yes, a thousand times, yes. Please, please say a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. e.l.s.e.”
The sound of the word “calliope”:
Sweet, gentle, melodious. Possibly floral? Maybe kind of sad
The sound of a literal calliope:
The voice of a deep and primal terror. The sound hurling oneself into madness. The loudest thing you’ve ever heard no matter what volume you listen at
