Eternity Is Real And Everything You Do Matters

Hi, Clair. I’d like to come in and talk with you. Would that be all right?

Ancient post to be brought back from the dead but how could I forget CASSANDRA????

just watched dune (both parts) and am rereading the book. I may have a strange hyperfixation on characters who see the future but feel as though they can do nothing to change it. Clairvoyance as a curse instead of a gift.

Reblog if you’re taller than Crash Bandicoot

PLEASE REBLOG FOR A BIGGER SAMPLE!

Words alone cannot describe how feral I am for these images

odysseus absolutely does present a threat to penelope if he perceives her as at all unfaithful, and i feel the unfairness of this, and i think people tend to undersell how much tension at least potentially exists between odysseus and penelope. but i'm also like. his reaction, all speculation aside, his actual reaction in the odyssey to her flirting with the suitors is delight, because he immediately ascertains that she is running a con. sorry that they're so in-sync in spite of the forces that try to drive a wedge between them, including their own misgiving hearts. sorry that they invented homophrosyne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A boy can dream, can't he?

i won a bet with a friend and have been owed a cookie for the last week. i finally got my cookie today.

it's a protein cookie.

I’ve got a bit more beef with politics (US and international) to get off my chest, and while I hope nobody gets mad at me over this, that isn’t likely. 

I don’t think that many people understand that while a huge difference in the changing political spectrum is changing morality, another issue that I think we have is that each side has a different agenda than the other but everyone wants everyone else to have their same agenda.

Some people are LGBTQ+, some are disabled, some are Christian, some are Muslim, some are family-oriented, some are pro-life, some are anti-gun. Most/all of it has to do with our experiences and how we have lived our life.

And the biggest problem isn’t that we have these differences, it is that we cannot work with other people who hold a different view of our agendas than we do. Two people who hold different views on the LGBTQ community cannot work together to help alleviate the suffering of those in poverty. People who hold differing views on how to alleviate suffering cannot work together over national security. 

And to the people who say that the other side wants them dead and so they cannot compromise with them on any issue unless they stop wishing you dead, I would like to say that people on the other side probably feel the same thing about the issues they care deeply about. This is what politics has come to now. 

This is my beef with politics at the moment. Possible solutions would be relearning how to see humanity in the other side, trying to see things from the other person’s perspective, and learning that you are not always right, but the likely hood of people starting to do that is slim. I am not perfect in this area; no one I know is perfect at doing this. But it would help, I think. I could be wrong. But as I look around, I wonder what this all would look like if we listened to each other’s experiences instead of instantly brushing people off if we disagree with them.

So. I'm almost done with The Wingfeather Saga.

I'm reading the 88 chapter ("Sailing Home") from The Warden And The Wolf King and I feel inexplicably uneasy. Please God, I just want Janner, Kalmar and Leeli to have a happy ending and live together with their friends and family on Anniera 😭😭😭😭 no more worries, no more trauma for them. I just want them to get to be kids once again and play on the castle grounds.

Please, can anyone encourage me to keep reading? I'M SO TENSE AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.
