I'd like to give you three quotes from Eris Morn, my favorite character from Destiny 2, which feel very hopepunk:

"We must remember the value of unshakable, irrational hope. The choice to act as if we lived in a better world can create a place for that better world to exist."

"Trauma is an unrelenting beast. It never quite leaves our side. But that doesn't mean we owe it a damn thing."

"Recovery is a spiral, not a circle. You may return to the same patterns, but you will break free."

Ohh, that first one reminds me of something I wrote for this blog a while back. The idea that hope is necessary because it motivates the work towards a better world.

Btw that rule about not trusting how you feel after 4pm in the winter or 9pm in the summer (really we should just say after the sun goes down but whatever) is only about negative feelings. if you are chilling with your best friend drinking hot chocolate and have never felt more loved and safe, that is 100% true and you can and should trust

nothing worse than when the premise of something captivates you but then it sucks ass. bro you put this idea out into the world and you didn’t even do it a shred of justice

I’ve always wanted to write a book dedication “To all the authors whose ideas inspired me to write, and whose execution inspired me to edit”

Discussion Questions

This post is in lowercase and is missing an apostrophe. Would it be as funny if it used proper capitalization and punctuation? Why or why not?

In order for this post's joke to land, it makes an allusion to a popular video game. What video game does it reference?

Using your answer from Question 2 and the relationship between the nametag and boyfriend, what is the boyfriend implied to be?

Fallout 3 scribbles

what’s funniest about the pacific rim scientists is like. when newt geiszler says he’s a scientist he means an old-timey 1910s entomologist wearing khaki shorts and a comically oversized pair of binoculars traipsing through the jungle capturing endangered species of butterfly and murmuring “egads!! fascinating…..” and scribbling it in his journal. when hermann gottlieb is being a scientist it’s literally the fucking manhattan project. tortured chainsmoking physicist. pawn of a war. repressed homosexual all his life. gets executed for being a communist. And they have to do each other’s peer review

she franken on my stein til i 'hateful day when I received life!' I exclaimed in agony. 'Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemlance. Satan had his companions, fellow-devils, to admire and encourage him; but I am solitary and abhorred.'

Vultures are holy creatures.

Tending the dead.

Bowing low.

Bared head.

Whispers to cold flesh,

“Your old name is not your king.

I rename you ‘Everything.’”

[charlesoberonn]

[sunshine-tattoo]

fun fact!

Vultures are also responsible for keeping diseases at bay.

Vulture stomach acid is so powerful that it can kill anthrax and many other deadly diseases.

So when they consume the carcass of a creature that has died of disease, they actually destroy the disease within it too!

So yes vultures are 100% holy creatures because they not only eat the dead, but protect the living from death.
