There's an old Danish legend with a lesson for us all Of an ambitious spider and his rise and fall, Who wove his sheer web with intricate care As it hung suspended somewhere in midair, Then in soft, idle luxury he feasted each day On the small foolish insects he enticed as his prey. Growing ever more arrogant and smug all the while He lived like a 'king' in self-satisfied style - And gazing one day at the sheer strand suspended He said "I don't need this" so he recklessly rended The strand that had held his web in its place And with sudden swiftness the web crumpled in space. And that was the end of the spider who grew So arrogantly proud that he no longer knew That it was the strand that reached down from above Like the chord of God's grace and His infinite love That links our lives to the great unknown. For man cannot live or exist on his own. And this old legend with simplicity told Is a moral as true as the legend is old.

Chillax!! We still got plenty of time. 6 more days! I’m going to burst by the time they give me that first copy.

You’ve been working so hard. I’m so proud of you.

hartenstraat-samevans‌:

Love you too! I was hoping you’d say that. It’s nothing fancy, just drinks and maybe a snack or two, but it will be way more fun with you there as well. You want to come with me when they let me see it? The 15th.

A week? Already??? Let’s go!!

#no gifs right now #i've been trying to just get replies out for two hours #sam #chat

Can I get a Woohoo or a Hell Yeah!!? ‘Cause I just got some super exciting news, like really totally super exciting news. Remember that graphic novel I’ve been working on since like, well forever? It’s done! It’s finished and being printed right now. I’m so excited! First print will be released November 3rd. Write it down and come get your copy at Secret Headquarters when it’s out. So who’s up for celebrating? Drinks on me.

I’ve never been prouder. I love you. Uh, of course I’ll go out with you. When do I get to see the final copy?

hartenstraat-samevans‌:

You want me to keep you company? I just don’t want to distract you from your work but if you want me there, of course, I join you.

If there’s anyone in the world I want over my shoulder while I work, it’s you.

hartenstraat-samevans‌:

That’s super sweet of you but like I can’t draw and write in a dark room… Please let me do this for you, make that room all yours.

...Well, I’d probably have to partition it off, because I can’t do lab work in the dark either. You’ll join me, right?

Private: Like the type that goes up your back suddenly.

Private: Mine are on my arms.

hartenstraat-stevie‌:

Private: You mean chills? Because I get those too sometimes.

Private: Like... danger chills?

hartenstraat-samevans‌:

You deserve some space you can do with whatever you want so I’m totally not hearing that last part.

Yeah, but so do you. We should split it.

hartenstraat-stevie‌:

Private: I don’t even know why I keep this account around. I’m weeks behind on the messages I have on here. The wedding was..interesting. Did you ever get past feeling panicked about it? Or figure out why you got that weird feeling?

Private: Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. No, I haven’t, yet. But it’s like goosebumps. They pop up from time to time.

A laboratory that can double as a room to develop pictures in. I can use some help with buying stuff for the laboratory part of the room cause I got no idea what all you want in it…

...Sam. That’s so sweet. I don’t need any of that.

hartenstraat-samevans‌:

Looking on the bright side of all of this.. it gives me another week to plan the new layout of that room and buy some new stuff for it.

What’s it gonna be?

hartenstraat-samevans‌:

So basically we got a room we can’t use right now?

And how long does it take to degrade?

...Uh, a couple days. Maybe a week, with that... much.

hartenstraat-samevans‌:

It’s sounds kind of ewwie… I guess it depends on how bad it is, like can we still get into the room or do I got to dig my way in? And how easy is it to clean up? I kind of wanted to start some redecorating in that room this weekend… So how bad is it?

It... is... navigable. And... the fluid does... degrade. Over time.

hartenstraat-samevans‌:

Sooooooooooooo........... how mad would you be if.... for example............. and I’m not saying this is true............ but there was about three gallons of web fluid stuck to the ceiling in Stevie’s room? God, that sounds like a double entendre.

What I immediately love about Amsterdam is that there are bicycles literally everywhere that you can rent and just go on an adventure or explore the city. That’s literally how I have spend the last week after arriving here and settling into the dormitory. The art galleries are also so amazing!

That is also the reason why I haven’t said hi yet, I was far too overwhelmed with everything. Which is still incredibly rude of me, isn’t it? Well, I’ll just say hi now. I am Layla and just moved here to study art. Also, I am your friendly and cute part-time barista. Can’t wait to meet you all!

I never learned how to ride a bike. I feel like I barely count as an adult. Those bikes are, like, taunting me.

Oh man. I have to admit that as long as I have lived in New York, I’ve only been to Queens a handful of times, and never that deep. What brought you all the way over here though? If you don’t mind me asking of course.

Yeah, I guess a person only needs to replace their tires every five or ten years. Oh, I’m here working for the US Government. You’re here as a journalist?

a few days ago bf told me that a couple years ago when he played counterstrike he would respond to dudes getting angry and aggressive and hostile by saying “a kissaroo from me to you” in a slightly goofy friendly voice sort of like the voice you’d associate with a dog muppet. he said they would absolutely lose their shit every time, insisting things like “i dont want a kissaroo from you! only tall blonde girls!”. they always said kissaroo. i cant stop thinking about this
