- intro: welcome to my blog! it’s actually just one giant shitpost in disguise this place is dedicated to all things keeper of the lost cities, and is the place where i dump all of my thoughts, ramblings, headcanons, fanart, etc, in order to spare my friends’ group chat from my insanity. expect lots of shitposts. expect cursed concepts and lots of unfunny textposts, as well as the occasional fan art. also, it is paramount that i inform you of my love for the song twins, so that you can be prepared for the amount of periodical screaming i do about them.

-previously @shadymcsilverbangs

-side blog for other fandom screaming: @the-kazzle-dazzle

- name: elizabeth 

- pronouns: she/her

- about: i fangirl, a lot, and should probably focus more on my school work but eh. fanfiction is better than a prosperous future and good grades anyways right? definitely not don’t take my advice. my personality wildly varies from day to day depending on whichever character’s personality i’ve absorbed into my own i am the amalgation of every person i ever thought was cool. i procrastinate a lot, and am not all too good at anything really but heyyy at least i have my ✨stunning wit and personality✨ haha.

- masterpost/blog directory + tagging system

coming soon! (dear lord i feel like such a liar like no not coming soon i procrastinate WAY too much and sifting through my blog and tagging stuff and linking them is not something i have time for in the near future but ehhhh)

BUT ALSO VERY IMPORTANT POST RIGHT HERE

(new set of quotes each month!)

- ❝  maybe life doesn’t get any better than this, or any worse, and what we get is just what we’re willing to find: small wonders where they grow. ❞

- ❝  i’ll let you into my soul, but wipe your feet at the door. ❞

- ❝  i alone cannot change the world, but i can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples. ❞

- ❝  shall i spend my life pushing a boulder uphill so that once uphill i will have a boulder to sit on while lamenting my life? ❞

HI HI HI I LOVE YOUR ART SO MUCH HIIIIIIIII

ANY AEQUA DOODLE!! because i love her so bad and also again i just want to say that i saw your art and it made my day and i am losing my mind i am so happy thank you for existing

Aah thank you so much!! I LOVEEEEEE Aequa so much! I would love to draw her more and I've been wanting to design different outfits for the different festivals and events we see in the book. Thank you so much for requesting her bc she deserves so much love aaaaaah I know there's a lot more going in in the story and she's not the biggest character ever but I think she's so interesting. I like to imagine her as trying very hard to achieve and surpass the standards set before her, but trying to find how she can do it her way. She's a mix of confidence in her skill but also doubtful. She's got every reason to be suspicious, but stays true. I just love how even though she has a smaller role, you get so much of a sense of who she is. I hope we see more of her next book! P.S. the colors might be wonky bc of my ipad. like no matter what i do the colors always turn out soooo different when it comes from there raah

“I’m going to make sure you burn for this.”

The Will of the Many by James Islington

Every time I see this quote I realize how poor even very smart people are at looking at the long game and at assessing these things in context.

One of my favourite illustrations of this was in a First Aid class. The instructor was a working paramedic. He asked, “Who here knows the stats on CPR? What percentage of people are saved by CPR outside a hospital?”

I happen to know but I’m trying not to be a TOTAL know it all in this class so I wait. And people guess 50% and he says, “Lower,” and 20% and so forth and eventually I sort of half put up my hand and I guess I had The Face because he eventually looked at me and said, “You know, don’t you.”

“My mom’s a doc,” I said. He gave me a “so say it” gesture and I said, “Four to ten percent depending on your sources.”

Everyone else looked surprised and horrified.

And the paramedic said, “We’re gonna talk a bit about some details of those figures* but first I want to talk about just this: when do you do CPR?”

The class dutifully replies: when someone is unconscious, not breathing, and has no pulse.

“What do we call someone who is unconscious, not breathing, and has no pulse?”

The class tries to figure out what the trick question is so I jump over the long pause and say, “A corpse.”

“Right,” says the paramedic. “Someone who isn’t breathing and has no heartbeat is dead. So what I’m telling you is that with this technique you have a 4-10% chance of raising the dead.”

So no, artists did not stop the Vietnam War from happening with the sheer Power of Art. The forces driving that military intervention were huge, had generations of momentum and are actually pretty damn complicated.

But if you think the mass rejection of the war was as meaningless as a soufflé - well.

Try sitting here for ten seconds and imagining where we’d be if the entire intellectual and artistic drive of the culture had been FOR the war. If everyone thought it was a GREAT IDEA.

What the whole world would look like.

Four-to-ten percent means that ninety to ninety-six percent of the time - more than nine times out of ten - CPR will do nothing, but that one time you’ll be in the company of someone worshipped as an incarnate god.

If you think the artists and performers attacking and showing up people like Donald Trump is meaningless try imagining a version of the world wherein they weren’t there.

(*if you’re curious: those stats count EVERY reported case of CPR, while the effectiveness of it is extremely time-related. With those who have had continuous CPR from the SECOND they went down, the number is actually above 80%. It drops hugely every 30 seconds from then on. When you count ALL cases you count cases where the person has already been down several minutes but a bystander still starts CPR, which affects the stats)

That Vonnegut quote brings this particular moment to mind:

Yes, it’s just a pie. Yes, the pie itself doesn’t do much direct damage in the grand scheme of things. But the pie is resistance, and resistance inspires resistance. Resistance inspires survival. Throwing pies sometimes starts a movement. Throwing pies sometimes saves lives.

And of course, we haven’t spoken about the inherent morality of throwing pies at oppressors in a world where oppressors have outlawed pie throwing. At the very least, pie throwing is a reminder to the oppressors that no matter how much money they have, no matter how much power they have, there are still some people, some moments they can’t control.

I’d rather go out throwing pies than just rolling over and accepting that pie throwing isn’t going to solve anything. Yeah, the pie throwing doesn’t immediately solve the problem, but it doesn’t have to because it’s just a starting point. So throw the damn pie.

January was a tough year but we made it

[the-fandom-crossroads]

i don't think people understand the irony of the date on this post. yes it's jan 31st and it's a mood so every jan 31st we reblog it. but guys. . . this was made in Jan 2020. By the first week of February covid numbers were finally starting to come out of china, by mid Feb Italy was shutting down and by the end of Feb half the world was entering their covid lockdowns. OP Jan may have be tough but you had a big storm coming
