Track 11 on Never Gone is a favorite among both the fans and the guys. Track 11 is the most depressing song in their extensive catalog. Track 11 is Siberia. Like most of Never Gone, I didn’t start appreciating this song until a year or two after it came out. I remember listening to the album after not having heard it in a while, getting to this song, and bursting into tears. Granted, my hormones might’ve been a little out of whack that day but the point is it still made me cry. So sad. So much pain in this song. Plus, the metaphor is genius.

Writers: Max Martin, Rami Yacoub, Alexandra Talomaa Producers: Christian Nilsson, Johan Brorson

I've been thinking about this song a lot and I think the muse/ex girlfriend is an absolute queen actually.

She doesn't play games. She's honest. She cares for him even if she doesn't desire him anymore.

A lot of immature girls would've staged a fight, or said mean things to make him think less of himself. She knows he's a good person, but not for her.

She offers distance, if he needs it. She offers him closure, if he needs it.

I think its one of those situations where neither partner did anything wrong, they just weren't a good match and she saw that first.

Science fiction is full of first contact stories, but is there a such thing as LAST contact? Decide exactly what that means, and write about it.

It was too late, when the humans came. They were a young species, still exploring outwards, vital and thriving.

We… were not.

War had ravaged us, and sickness, and war once again, until our population dwindled beyond the point of recovery. We struggled against that, of course… we used genetic manipulation, and cloning, and even more desperate measures. None succeeded. When the humans came, we were sinking into apathy, only a few tens of us left. We had begun to discuss whether we should commit a mass suicide, or simply wait to fade away.

And then the young species came, in their clumsy ships, and they asked us why we were so few.

“We are becoming extinct,” we told them. “We have passed the point of recovery.”

It is custom to avoid the races that are dying – once a species reaches the point of inevitable extinction, even war is suspended, and the fiercest enemy pulls back. The custom was born of plagues and poisons that could be carried forth from a dying world to afflict a healthy one, but it has the implacable weight of tradition now. After we are gone, after they have waited for the prescribed period of quarantine, there will be a fight for our world. Habitable worlds are few, and this is a good one, with plenty of free groundwater and thriving vegetation. It is a bitter thing to be grateful for the custom that allows us to die in peace, but we are grateful.

But the humans don’t know that custom, and they do not leave. They seem distraught, when we tell them we are dying, and try to offer their aid - but their technology is behind ours, and it is too late. When they realize that they can’t save us, though, they do something that bewilders us.

“Bilingualism strikes me as a kind of synesthesia. Instead of seeing colors associated with letters and words, instead of hearing melodies, what I hear with language is the play and echo of the other language. The option to say it differently, and thus to live it differently. Language is not only a means of communication or description. It’s a framework in which we process existence. Yi writes: “It is hard to feel in an adopted language, yet it is impossible in my native language.” As every bilingual person and translator knows, there are certain words—a feeling, a way of being—that is absent in one language but perfectly brought to life in another. A word that, by existing, gives permission to be. What if you need that which does not exist in your language?”

— Yoojin Grace Wuertz, “Mother Tongue”

I have a co worker who told me she doesn't speak Spanish at home because she doesn't like 'the person I am in Spanish'. It's a strange phenomenon, I hope to be able to experience it someday.

After reading the book (again) and the script (a g a i n) my Jeremy love became 2x bigger.

Someone help this kid, Jesus Christ.

I love how you depicted the squip as a pixilated aura instead of as a separate entity. Very beautiful and thematically significant!

sokka was the only kid in that show with social skills and a brain and he effortlessly charmed literally every. single. person. he met especially royalty no matter the age or nation this is why the writers had to nerf him and make him a non bender cause if he coulda bend anything the show woulda been called sokka and his good pal the avatar and its main conflicts would all be resolved by the third episode tops

Villain: “You and I are very much alike, you know.”

Hero: “I realize that.”

Villain: “Doesn’t that trouble you?”

Hero: “Why would it? I share most of my genome with sewer rats.”

glumshoe

Villain: “But our similarities mean that, deep down, you’re a bad person. There’s nothing stopping you from being just as evil as I am!”

Hero: “Sure there is. I’m stopping me.”

Villain: “But in your heart you crave—”

Hero: “Sometimes when I’m in a crowded building I get the sudden urge to just boop a stranger right on the nose. But I don’t do it, because that would be super rude and weird. Does having that compulsion in the first place make me just as much of a weirdo as if I had acted on it? Maybe it does in your eyes, but to the would-be boopee, it makes all the difference in the world.”

Villain: “We’re not talking about booping noses, we’re talking about killing peop—”

Hero: “Look, dude, I’m sure murder can be really satisfying. But I’ve decided that I don’t want to murder people, and I think that’s very sexy of me. Look at me. With a little self-restraint, you might have had what I have.”

glumshoe

Villain: “But surely it disturbs you, doesn’t it? To know how close you are to snapping. Don’t deny it. There’s so much darkness in your heart. Do you really think they’d still love you if they knew? They’d be disgusted by you. They’d hate you, for thinking so much like me.”

Hero: “That’s the difference, isn’t it? Between you and I. One tiny difference. That’s all it takes. That’s the line between good and evil.”

Villain: “What?”

Hero: “You saw your own darkness and let it destroy you. You surrendered to it the moment you realized it was there. You threw open the door for it and welcomed it inside and let it rob you of your humanity without even a word of protest because you just couldn’t imagine it was something you could fight.”

Villain: “And you, oh-so-sanctimonious one?”

Hero: “I said ‘no thanks’. That’s it. That’s the difference.”

Villain: “Did you just—did you just—”

Hero: “Boop your nose? You’re right. It did feel good.”

“You look like Keanu Reeves…”

[ Image: Keanu Reeves from the video game Cyberpunk 2077. He is wearing sunglasses and looking into the screen. His robotic left hand is holding the rim of his glasses. The text reads “Welcome to your Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor. Your Squip.” End description ]

CONSIDER: instead of just neutral Keanu, Jeremy’s Squip took the form of Ted Logan Keanu Reeves.

It took me forever to figure out that's basically what Jason Tam was doing with his voice in the Broadway run.

My problem is less with the language and more with the possibility they are overfeeding their animals

sqoks-aesthetics

love the fact tumblr has no awareness for obese animals not being healthy at all and allowing an animal to be Like That is straight up abuse lmao

therestlessforest

*sigh* all you had to do was scroll up a little and all this rage could have been avoided

sepialunaris

Lmao imagine thinking an organization as reputable and pro conservation as Monterey Bay Aquarium would overfeed their animals

ctxrover

Lmao imagine thinking that all animals that have fat on them are obese, overweight and unhealthy rather than some animals just being like that i.e. walruses, seals, etc. because they have to be fat and have blubber because it protects them from the harsh and freezing environments that they live in.
