I introduced my coworkers to the term "wet cat" and it's my favorite thing ever, anytime one of them just looks kinda sad they start yelling at them to stop being so wet cat
i have neither a good imagination nor aphantasia, but a secret third thing
i think the best part of the silt verses finale is how carpenter chose to keep living, but that doesn't matter, because a soldier decided that she didn't deserve too. and when carpenter gets suddenly, shockingly, shot-dead after the most gut-wrenching and defining moments of her life, it suddenly re-contextualizes the whole show. we know, of course, that the show does not revolve around the protagonists, although we see how much of their conflict ended up kick-starting nationwide events. but here. it really zooms out. that we're not watching a story about the people who won, or are remembered, or made any sort of long-lasting, impactful difference. we are zooming into the life of one statistic, one civilian death, among tens of thousands. it shows. how many people in this universe will never be remembered. never got to tell their story. were erased and forgotten like they had never existed at all. how it happened to the great sister carpenter-- a serial killer, beloved friend, woman feared so greatly within niche outlawed communities-- reduced to nothing but another number. because enemies of the imperial don’t get to choose to live, because the oppressed peoples of the lower class— whose murder by the military are the very things keeping the upper class in power— don’t get to choose to live. because while they shook the capitalistic and imperialistic system of the silt verses slightly, just slightly-- it's still in place, and people like carpenter, are fundamentally hated and shunned by it. and we realize that we’re lucky to have heard her story at all.
tshirt that says I LOVE SHRIMP on the front and IN THAT I ADMIRE THEM AS WILD ANIMALS AND VALUE THEIR ROLE IN THE MARINE ECOSYSTEM, NOT SIMPLY THAT I ENJOY EATING THEM, AS I WOULD NOT PUT SUCH ENJOYMENT ABOVE THEIR CONSERVATION, ALTHOUGH I WILL ADMIT THEY ARE DELICIOUS on the back
would you still love me if i was rendered in increasingly abstract ways to imply my progressing sense of disconnection from humanity
me @ everyone
I was a HUGE reader as a kid, like one of those gifted kids that read multiple grade levels above my own, won a couple of competition with AR points kind of kids. As an adult life drained that from me and i stopped reading. I always had excuses, and when i did try to read it would take me more than a year to finish a chapter book with more than 200 pages. I couldn't get interested in any books and none of them made me feel awe inspired like i did as a kid.
Then one of my friends suggested re-reading a book from my childhood. Something familiar and nostalgic. So i went to the book store and i took home the Graveyard book.
It felt just like it did when i was 8 or 9 right after it came out, there was always a waitlist to borrow it from our schools library and i would put myself back on it everytime i returned it.
Since then I've read 3 books in less than 6 months. i just wanted to say thank you for giving me and many others whole worlds to escape to, as children and as adults.
Much love - me and my mom who have bonded over your stories
That's wonderful.
Both were filled at the same time with the same water, only one had oysters.
this was the most malevolent core malevolent episode ive ever had the honor of listening to. men are murdered. arthur gets chased around. arthur falls into a pit. arthur is sick and dying. john gives him a pep talk. they fight off a monster together. they confess their undying love. they are given a SIDE QUEST!!
I have no organization or theme this is a graveyard of doomscrolling and my inner thoughts 🫶 Jac she/they 24
