what is biden’s plan to reverse the damage that the song of achilles has done to tumblr’s perception of the iliad

when Sharon Olds said "If I pass a mirror, I turn away, I do not want to look at her, and she does not want to be seen."

[weltenwellen]

when Rachel Mckibbens said "It’s okay to wave good-bye to yourself in the mirror. To write, I don’t want anything. It’s okay to despise what you have inherited, to feel dead in a city of pulses. It’s okay to be the whale that never comes up for air, to love best the taste of your own blood."

[weltenwellen]

but then also when Dale Cooper said "I don’t know who I am. We search and search, and always end up looking into the same mirror, at the same reflection, hoping that we will find something different. Heal … heal … heal … heal … heal … heal … heal … heal … heal … heal … heal … heal … heal … heal … heal … please."

One of my favorite Astarion moments is when you meet his siblings and he goes like "You were never burdened with intelligence, Petras, but your load seems especially light these days." How to tell people they are fucking stupid without telling them they're fucking stupid. Burned the man to a crisp even before dragging him into daylight like he didn't have to roast him that hard but he called the guy stupid using two (2) different expressions, then went on to burn his face off and when his siblings left, he called them stupid again like he is that insane and funny

Could I convince you to kill someone less useful? No one is getting killed, I swear. We’re just two friends talking. So -in the spirit of theoretical questions- if you had to take a bite from one of them, who would it be?

Shoutout to Casey the Innsmouth hotel clerk from Lovecraft Investigations. Whole new type of guy right there. Sure, he's probably complicit in keeping you trapped in a tiny cult town, but goddamn if he's going to drop his excellent customer service while he does it. Yes, he WAS spying on you during his lunch break, and he sincerely hopes you had a nice walk. Sorry ma'am, the landline is down and this creepy fog just rolled in, can he get you a croissant? "Casey, did I just walk into a horror movie?" "Sure looks like it! :D"

[soracities]

the horrors persist, but so do the birds. thank god 🕊️💕

[soracities]

i have so much to lose and so do the birds. i have so much to grieve and so do the birds. i have so much to say....so do the birds.

when you download a pdf and it's called like 1328723486basdf12.pdf but then you gently rename it to what it's supposed to be. that's forming a bond with a hurt and wild mythological creature and reminding it who it is.
