More Of Myself In Thought

It wasn’t that he was less of himself in English. He was less of himself out loud. His native language was thought. — The Raven King - Maggie Stiefvarer || In my mind I am eloquent; I can climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral ceilings and paint my thoughts. But when I open my mouth, it all collapses. — Warm Bodies - Isaac Marion || Isla ||

immortality as theft (you have to steal life from something else) immortality as parasitism (there is something else inside You that is keeping you alive and you become less of yourself more and more the longer it stays in you) immortality as violence (everything is trying to kill you because everything is supposed to die and the universe will always try to find a way to right the wrong that is You) you understand

#at least once a month I think about that one post about laminating a paper towel#and how that makes it immortal but also forever prevents it from fulfilling its true purpose#yes you will live. but at the cost of everything that makes you You

"do it scared" ok but I would like to do something some other way occasionally. Like at least once. For a change.

for the sake of appearances i am very much a “that’s none of my business” and “i don’t need to know about that. you keep that to yourself” sort of fellow. removed. respectful. but being fully honest i AM a nasty little ears perked freak… like yes tell me all of your information without being prompted at all. i love to listen.

i love reading sad books bc when your own grief is stopped up inside you like a clogged drain you can grieve for a character on a page and understand that you're also grieving for yourself a little bit

[petrichara]

‘There is a theory that watching unbearable stories about other people lost in grief and rage is good for you—may cleanse you of your darkness. Do you want to go down to the pits of yourself all alone? Not much. What if an actor could do it for you? Isn’t that why they are called actors? They act for you. You sacrifice them to action. And this sacrifice is a mode of deepest intimacy of you with your own life. Within it you watch [yourself] act out the present or possible organization of your nature. You can be aware of your own awareness of this nature as you never are at the moment of experience. The actor, by reiterating you, sacrifices a moment of his own life in order to give you a story of yours.’

-Anne Carson, ‘Grief Lessons: Four Plays By Euripides’

If I had a nickel everytime George crashed and Carlos won the race I would have 3 nickels which is not a lot but it still weird that it happened three times.

the raven cycle is a series meant to be read multiple times. i love that i never stop discovering something new, that there’s always something else to make a greater meaning out of, there will always be a connection i missed in my previous read or i will make another one in my next read, i’m relearning my favourite characters, rediscovering the same world over and over but the magic never fades. the magic always stays. the love is always there and i always close the books convinced i could never care about anything the way i do about this world and these characters who are also my best friends and my family. no matter how many times i read it i’ll always go back to it excited for what i’ll discover again. nothing has enchanted me this much and nothing ever will
