“Doomed by the narrative” is sexy and all but i think the narrative wanting to save a character who is utterly set on dooming themselves isnt as much of a thing and it’s so good as a concept
THINGS DON’T NEED TO BE PERMANENT TO BE BEAUTIFUL!!! VALUE IS NOT STORED IN PERMENANCE!! TO BE ALIVE IS TO EXPERIENCE EVANESCENCE!!!
its like i always say. at least theres bisexuality
deep breaths everyone. at least we have bisexualism
My favorite sneaky Tolkien thing is how he signals that Gimli & Legolas are becoming better & better friends by repeatedly writing this scene:
Gimli: That thing frightens/concerns/annoys me. You are the greatest archer I have ever seen. Shoot it.
Legolas - not consulting kings, heirs to thrones, or wizards: On it, my love.

Perhaps spring is here.
Perhaps it will all be worth it. Even though I knew
even then it was worth it, staying, I mean.
Even now, there is someone, somehow, waiting for me.— Hieu Minh Nguyen, from “Uptown, Minneapolis, Minnesota”
You gotta be careful with tumblr girls because you’ll flirt a little and then all of the sudden they’re curled up inside your ribcage.
I don’t know; I kind of think that our culture is based around systematic denial of human limitations. I mean, there’s the eight-hour work day (which is about 4 hours longer than most people are consistently able to remain productive); buffing your qualifications on job applications (which everyone needs to do to some extent, because everyone else is doing it); the expectation of multitasking, even though it’s not really possible; academics are running around with impostor syndrome, ultimately because there’s only so many books that an individual is capable of reading, while a bunch of liars and grifters pretend that they’re experts at *everything* and are held up as thought leaders. Billionaires are held up as if they’re just incredibly hard workers, photoshopped movie stars held up as if they’re just incredibly beautiful. We feel guilty for not being something that never has and can never exist.
