What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?
When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.
it's like damn are people like not born in the 90's anymore?
this all goes back to how sometime around the late 90s/early 2000s they stopped making people born in the 90s and switched over to making people born in the 2000s. it's not a coincidence
planned obsolescence strikes again
why does oscar wilde take 150 pages to write something he could literally say in a paragraph
compelling argument
what does this say about victor hugo
no he was just french
R.R Tolkien?
autistic infodumping
Put this together and I dread to think how long a novel by an autistic gay Frenchman would be. :p
hey everyone "I" have something to show "you"
keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it
This is what hozier meant when he says he falls a little bit in love everyday with someone new
I once watched a girl in the produce aisle pick up a bushel of bananas that were precariously perched on the edge and move them farther back and under her breath she said “there you go sweeties - that will be more comfortable” before shuffling off and… I think about her often.
« Silent lovers » is such a sweet way to put it.
I was driving on the highway and passed a dude absolutely JAMMING alone in his car, doing those little half dance moves you do when you’re stuck sitting down in a small space, bellowing unheard lyrics at the top of his lungs, and my instant reaction was to think “I love you.” And then to pray he had a good day, or whatever, because those fleeting moments of connection are so incredible.

Obvs we can’t know if this is real or just gossip but like. Imagine some guys made fun of your dad 30 years ago and it made you so insecure that you abandon your legendary ancestral fortress to go live in Cursed Ruined Monument to Hubris because it’s technically larger and has a better strategic position and you Must Have The Biggest Castle Because Then They Won’t Laugh At You
somebody posted this Calvin and Hobbes strip and i cannot overstate just how topical this fuckin thing is
The sobs that Brienne heard were all her own. When she realized that, she threw down her knife and shuddered. “I’m sorry that I never trusted you. I don’t know how to do that anymore.” — (Brienne IV, AFFC)

Sansa Stark (from A Song of Ice and Fire)
So delighted to find out that ‘beware of dog’ signs date back to at least the second century BCE in Ancient Rome.
And this one was an inlayed mosaic.
"Eons seemed to come and go. The sounds grew louder. She heard more laughter, a shouted command, splashing as they crossed and recrossed the little stream. A horse snorted. A man swore.
And then at last she saw him ... only for an instant, framed between the branches of the trees as she looked down at the valley floor, yet she knew it was him. Even at a distance, Ser Jaime Lannister was unmis-takable. The moonlight had silvered his armor and the gold of his hair, and turned his crimson cloak to black. He was not wearing a helm."-AGOT -Catelyn X
I've finished it 😊It took me eons...The Battle of The Whispering Wood
I wanted to attach also all of this details - fragments- with everything that is happening underneath "the gloom" of the last HOTU composition that I post it ...but I forgot...so here they are now
The chamber and the heart ( I find this chamber in HOTU - one of the most strange places in all of ASOIAF world) ...because of the living heart...corrupted but ALIVE nevertheless...so I keep thinking that it feels like they are inside somebody's body ...right ? I mean this beating heart must belong to somebody ...or something ALIVE still🤷♀️it's really strange ...and also from the first time I've read this chapter I can't stop thinking about the greek mithos of Chronos ( the titan of time -an old god ) which ate his kids the new gods (Hera, Poseidon, Hestia, Demeter and Hades) but when Zeus defeated Chronos they came out of the titans all grown up and strong . So ...I think that is really similar with our shade of the evening trees ..or this organism in which belly Danny finds herself . I don't know ...it's really strange...also in ASOIAF there are this quotes "the trees are gods" and also the trees are time " because the acorn is the oak and the oak is the acorn". So this chamber ( in my head) is a mix between Aliens - all those cocoons( that strange organic tissue- muscles, veins and goo) in which the humans are waiting for the alien eggs to hatch - which is the tree part and arches carved by man ...because in ASOIAF the trees over time turn to stone and you can carve or use the stone as a construction material.
For the Undying Ones which are cocooned like some kind of caryatids in this organism - I think tree ...- I've used references from Michelangelo, Raphael , Van Eyck ,Hugo Van Der Goes , Memling, Costin Petrescu and some photos with masked choirs from greek tragedies. Because The Undying Ones look ...at list in my head cannon ...like a choir from a greek tragedy ...with those gaunt faces ...like masks and the fact that they are not speaking (physically moving their mouth) but they talk to Danny , give her visions and guide her along ...feels almost like she is in front of an Oracle...somehow...
"I was reborn from the sea, a harder man and stronger. "
" For a thousand years and seven he reigned here, Aeron recalled. Here he took his mermaid wife and planned his wars against the Storm God. From here he ruled both stone and salt, wearing robes of woven seaweed and a tall pale crown made from Nagga's teeth "
" The Drowned God wakes, thought Aeron. He could hear his voice welling from the depths of the sea. I shall be with you here this day, my strong and faithful servant, the voice said. No godless man will sit my Seastone Chair. "
" Who shall rule these holy isles? Is he here among us now?" The priest spread his hands wide. "Who shall be king over us ?"- AFFC - The Drowned Man
I find Aeron Damphair one of the most scary but terrible fascinating characters of ASOIAF...is he dead? is he alive? does the Drowned God truly exists? does it matter? or is Aeron The Prophet just a coping mechanism to an old and dark trauma? .....
I've added this ...😊to give him a little bit of context...felt like without the sea,Nagga's bones and a little bit of rocks ...it's not Aeron 🤷♀️it was to abstract...I think ..
