I’m stronger than this, he told himself. My will is greater. But he could hear Jordie laughing. No, little brother. No one is stronger. You’ve cheated death too many times. Greed may do your bidding, but death serves no man.

“These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite.”

School shooting? Oh, you know, it happens

17 dead due to a school shooting in Florida. So many people are grieving, rightfully so, and my heat goes out to the victims and their families.

But have you guys noticed the generational gap when it comes to these things? Baby Boomers and Gen Xers are all shocked and sad. Millennials are frustrated. But Gen Z on the other hand…

Oh Generation Z.

This is becoming our normal. Our day to day. Just our monthly mass shooting.

We’re becoming desensitized to it because we have been growing up with this stuff. We grow up practicing intruder and lockdown drills because it’s something to expect now, not a MIGHT, but an expectation at this point. This happens so much that when we see this in the news, not one tear rims our eyes; we feel bad but we don’t truly feel it impact us.

And isn’t that sad? That so many people are being killed yet we feel close to nothing? Think about, the oldest Gen Z person is roughly 21 or 22. Youngest is around 4 or 5. Now really think about it. With technology at our fingertips, we instantly know when these things happens. Now imagine a group of teenagers sitting in a classroom and someone reads off Twitter that there has been a mass shooting. Everyone in that class will have a responses like “ugh again”, “oh…that’s sad”, “lol we’re next”. Then we move on.

I’m not exaggerating, this happens every single time in one of classes when someone mentions a mass shooting.

Do we like that? No, of course not. And we are trying to speak up about it, but every time we do we get shushed because the adults are talking or because we “don’t understand”. But what is there to understand? Our fellow brothers and sisters our being killed MONTHLY because of some shooter that the media blows up and popularizes. We are the ones being affected the most.

Okay fine. We don’t understand. We’re too young to understand. Then what? Things just keep going on as is and we can’t say anything because the adults “know what they’re doing”.

Okay then fine. Continue with what you’re doing, but just remember that there are now a whole generation—the largest generation mind you— that no longer see mass shootings as national tragedy to be mourned over for weeks; we see it as a monthly occurrence that we should get used. Because shh, the adults are “fixing it”.

AESTHETIC MEME — [1/8] stories: six of crows. no mourners, no funerals. another way of saying good luck. but it was something more. a dark wink to the fact that there would be no expensive burials for people like them, no marble markers to remember their names, no wreaths of myrtle and rose.

Lit. Characters from A to Z : M  ⟶ Maven Calore ( Red Queen )

It sets something off in Maven. He jumps out of reach, keeping his distance from all of us. The twitching returns in force, but his eyes blaze, all fire. No fear.

“You think I can’t lie through pain,” he snarls, his voice thundering through the room. “You think I haven’t done it a thousand times?“
