the idealized version of my tomorrow self will fix this
That infamous prison escape.
Narsil. Broken but not destroyed
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost; in
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
i literally can’t listen to tik tok by kesha without thinking about that goddamn star trek tos fanvid…you know the one
no babe i love your fingerless gloves and your fuckass bob, but maybe you should stop hiding behind columns at important diplomatic parties, yes i know they’re scary to you, yes i know you “accidentally” called an alien a son of a bitch at the last party— oh let’s not be dramatic— you’re supposed to be the leader of voltron, babe, not the support beam of a random castle
Eboshi: THIS IS NOT A GAME!
Ashitaka: No, it most certainly is not.
San: Why are you doing this?
Eboshi: Yes, I’d quite like to know that as well. Why risk putting your life in further jeopardy?
Ashitaka: (*pissed off at this point*) BECAUSE IT’S NOT A GAME, EBOSHI! This is a scale model of war. Every war, ever fought, right here in front of you. Because it’s always the same. The moment you lay a hand on your sword, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who’s going to die! You don’t know whose children are going to scream and suffer! How many hearts will be broken? How many lives shattered? How much blood will spill until everybody does, what they’re always going to have to do from the very beginning? SIT! DOWN! AND! TALK!
today in very neurotypical activities, i've made a spreadsheet for all my teas and two tables (one caffeinated, one decaf) i can use by rolling dice to decide which one to drink if i'm stuck
