I have always felt that a human being could only be saved by another human being. I am aware that we do not save each other very often. But I am also aware that we save each other some of the time.

NOSFERATU (2024) + ❄️ dir. Robert Eggers

[latelylately]

But he was off, downhill: a magnificent fast skier, and this time not holding back for me. [...] He ran from me, and straight into the guns of the border-guards. I think they shouted warnings or orders to halt, and a light sprang up somewhere, but I am not sure; in any case he did not stop, but flashed on towards the fence, and they shot him down before he reached it. [...] They shot to kill him. He was dying when I got to him, sprawled and twisted away from his skis that stuck up out of the snow, his chest half shot away. I took his head in my arms and spoke to him, but he never answered me; only in a way he answered my love for him, crying out through the silent wreck and tumult of his mind as consciousness lapsed, in the unspoken tongue, once, clearly, "Arek!" Then no more. I held him, crouching there in the snow, while he died. They let me do that.

--What is the end goal? A totally malleable human being? The lack of a body? To become pure thought? --To become unhuman. --An impossible task!

"I am bored. If I were any smarter I might kill myself. I problem solve, and never get a chance to think. Nothing is exciting enough in this world, except for this strange man. I once asked him what the point was, if gender was a vestigial remnant. He might have said, laconic as always: 'vestigiality doesn't mean irrelevance.' I need to find a way to get inside his mind so I can understand why he does it. And then wreck him."

Le guin is truly so good at making me uncomfortable with like. Reality and humanity. This is not escapism this is undeniably the real world. She makes you face that fact head on

The one thing men in the 1700s did right was have long hair they tie back into a low ponytail with a little ribbon and also have a few stray strands at the front. Almost everything else they did that century was inexcusable though
