Description

This thing has consumed nearly thirty hours of my life. Ignore the blood flow from my eyes, I doubt it's anything serious.

ANYWAYS Scheherazade was a pretty cool gal. You've gotta be impressed with anyone who comes up with story that takes 1,001 nights to tell without having an off night. Like, seriously, SNL writers. This is how it's done.

In all seriousness, she's got to be one of my favorite heroines. I mean, she volunteers to marry this man just to save her fellow girls and literally just stalls him by telling a story for THREE AND A HALF YEARS. Storytelling is already a beautiful quality to me, but the idea that she used this talent to save lives is just really badass and lovely. Not to mention that in my head I imagine her on the last night concluding the arc, and then stopping and sitting back and saying very quietly; "I can't think of any more", knowing that it means she's going to be executed in the morning, and he just cuddles up to her and everything is fine and happy and everyone was totally okay.

Too long I worked on this.

TOO LONG.
