Laurence: I am an extremely law-abiding and naturally obedient person who would never challenge authority except in the most extreme and desperate circumstances. Tragically, these have occured every single day of my life.

‘The grave of the Russian composer Alfred Schnittke in Novodevichye Cemetery in Moscow is surmounted by a stone on which is engraved a rest beneath a fermata with a triple forte noted at the bottom: A very, very loud extended silence.’

- John Biguenet, Silence (London: Bloomsbury, 2015), p.49.

The fermata suggests the indicated notation (in this case, a rest) is to continue at the discretion of the conductor. When the chosen conductor arrives, Alfred Schnittke will rise again.

Phm from Adrian's perspective is just what if you were Penelope and Odysseus came home but he also brought a jellyfish and keeps begging you to build a fish tank for the jellyfish and make jellyfish food for the jellyfish and youre an ancient Greek whos never seen a jellyfish and you cant even comprehend how your going to do it but youre going to because if you dont Odysseus may kill himself. And also the jellyfish can do like. Witchcraft.

I will never get tired of the big-ass fucking seagull head on the front of Helsinki art museum. I hope they never take it down.

nightbringer24

That is a big-ass fucking seagull head.

This is the sort of shit that all public artwork should be. The kind that you can use as a landmark to find your lost buddies. Going like "yeah I'm standing at the front of this building. Under the giant fucking seagull head. You'll know it when you see it."

I’ve been reading about werewolves on Wikipedia and I just have to say. “Werewolves are warriors that descend into hell to fight demons” kicks unbelievable amounts of ass as a concept

I want to work in a treehouse where at most once a month someone has a question about something I'm obsessed with or allowed to lie to them about

Goddddddd thinking about that narrative moment when something horrible is happening and the character who has been frantically trying to come up with a way to fix it and getting more and more frantic and panicky just—stops. Because. Oh. There’s the solution. They’re not getting out of this alive but like. It’s a solution for everyone else. Okay. Okay.

antimony-medusa

Why would you do this to me.

ghostwriterofthemachine

and!!!! like!!!! obviously this is delicious when you hit your Self Sacrifice Archetype with it, but honestly I think it's even chewier when you give it to, like. someone with a selfish streak. The one with some arrogance who's maybe not quite a team player. leans more towards loner. Give this moment to the one party member who has been shown to prioritize their own survival over everything else.

And then the eye-of-the-storm realization of "Oh. Huh. I am not making it to the end of the story. but everyone else is going to. Isn't it strange, that I'm not more upset?"

I change my thought process and the intention of the spell to request that Dame Seremai protect me one more time.

CRITICAL ROLE 4.29 Opening Night

#i mean it in the kindest way possible and not in a snotty way #because yes sometimes there's no way for you to know about something depending on the issue and where the discussion happened #like sometimes it's very niche or it happened mostly on an old forum that's now closed and it's hard to find documented on fanlore #and tbh a lot of fandom discourse can be hard to find especially when it's scattered across social media #but sometimes it's things like. feminist theory #or queer history #or even things like 'why the ACLU (or your country's equivalent) is against your radical new idea for #'censorship but GOOD this time we promise''#and while it can be worth asking trusted resources where to start #(that can help you not to fall for certain traps of thinking like TERFs etc)#those ARE also decently-to-very-well-documented and things like wikipedia (with caution) and libraries (yours and specialized ones #like queer liberation library) will be able to steer you towards #for primers as well as more in depth dives #but to do that you have to have the curiosity to want to know something #and the humility not to assume you're the only one who's ever thought it and who knows best #coming to a subject you have no grounding in #which...can be a challenge at 21 since that's a very common thing to need to work on growing into #ETA: having now seen the post this comment was in response to...wow. maybe include even a cursory web search of keywords #because yes. there has been SO MUCH ink spilled over those aspects of those films #like. enough ink that i had run into those articles and essays before i ever even watched silence of the lambs #so it had already been very well and publicly talked about at LEAST 15 years go #the conversation moves on because if it didn't we'd just rehash the same thing eternally. but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened #and that one in particular is...very easy to find #and in fact some of these articles are only like 4 months before the post so the conversation is STILL ongoing #life advice #related to the phenomenon of 'why is no one talking about this news event?!' about something getting tons of mainstream coverage #from CNN to BBC to AP #sometimes the problem is people not looking in the right place. or looking at all

Well hello there.

German politics decided to massively fuck over every German who needs therapy now or in the future (as a means to lessen the financial burden on the public health insurance, completely ignoring human dignity, and actual input of people working in this field)

If this thing goes through we basically loose any hope to ever receive mental healthcare.

The "Psychotherapieverbund" started a petition

That can be signed until midnight of the 9. Of July. Please reblog if you have German followers and send it to all Germans you know, so we can help our dear clusterfuck of a government to make the right decision.

Ein Änderungsantrag soll mit der Streichung der Angemessenheitsprüfung die wirtschaftliche Grundlage psychotherapeutischer Praxen vernichten

stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.

basically the best thing any character can do is decide they don't want to be afraid anymore - in fact they never want to be afraid of anything ever again - and take action so drastic they fail to realise that this too is a decision motivated by fear. or to account for the Consequences of that.

valtsv

[with obvious perverted intent] hey. don't you want to release the safety catches on that character. don't you want to flip off all the switches holding them back and let the control rods go.

Upon the Hearth the Fire Is Red

by J.R.R. Tolkien

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone.

Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. The world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed.

Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation with the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.
