here we wait

Nuggets of gold I find on my evening roamings of the tumbler hallways and a handful of facts and stories from my archeology and history classes.

the er can be a very overstimulating place

my roman empire is a core memory of hearing Obi Wan say “only a sith deals in absolutes, anakin” while I, an autistic child, sit in front of the tv paralysed by the fear that my entire life has been a lie and I am actually a horrible person

fifty thousand fucking years has the modern human walked the earth and somehow raisins are still a thing

medieval king: ew get lost

historians: intolerable trespasses warranted banishment

[snatching my glasses off and haphazardly throwing them on the table] I’ve seen enough

me, holding a grey, coarse piece of toilet paper in a public restroom: [trembling in both fear and anticipation, quietly, like a plea and a whimper both at once] please be gentle with me

I love twink Draco Malfoy.

I know we always laugh it off, but like, can at least one yaoi not be doomed? Can we have both complimentary hair colours survive and not stray on the path of darkness or something? And kiss? Yeah, I think I really need that. And it can be whoever, I’m not even picky at this point.

say what you will about the Habsburgs but I really appreciate how many of them created massive baroque synecdoches of their own neuroses. Charles V drove himself crazy trying to manage an intercontinental empire in the 1500s and then spent his final years in a monastery surrounded by clocks, obsessed with trying to get all of the clocks ticking in unison. Philip II was a meticulous and obsessively pious introvert and he turned his palace into a bureaucratic warehouse with him sitting at the top floor, correcting the grammar of his advisors’s letters like he was grading essays. Rudolf II was completely checked out of his role as emperor, obsessively collecting foreign curiosities while wars and religious revolts slowly devoured the Holy Roman Empire, just like the live lions and tigers wandering the halls of Prague Castle and attacking servants at random. All of them (the Habsburgs not the lions and tigers) had debilitating prognathism from centuries of inbreeding to keep their ‘noble blood’ (and to keep their territories consolidated), their bodies falling apart from the sheer weight of their dynastic history and endless pursuit of purity and centralization. It’s bizarrely and tragically beautiful.
