Me: *rolls up to a merchant in ancient Athens on Heelys and sipping a Starbucks*
Me: Yo where’s your horribly dense wine I’ve got coin
Merchant: What on earth are you wearing
Me: It’s called pants.
Merchant: I hate that.

The old gods do not comprehend artificial light. It collapses their superposition and leaves us wondering about lens flares and multi-exposure, craving answers, unable to accept the reality only artificial eyes can perceive.

y’all i know we joke about Stan being the dumbass of the group, but he’s actually really perceptive tho
so when Syd first fesses up about kissing Dina without mentioning any names, Stan assumed it was a guy she kissed:
but then when Syd refers to the kiss again without stating the gender of the recipient of that kiss, Stan catches on:
he uses the genderless pronoun here because he realises Syd might not have kissed a guy at all. and you can tell he really did catch onto the nature of Syd’s sexuality because he’s not all that surprised when she finally tells him she doesn’t feel romantic attraction to him:
Little women (both the 2019 movie and the book) brilliantly capture very specific emotions and situations. These are some of my favorites:
That feeling you get when you start thinking about all the people you’ve turned down romantically because you knew you didn’t and could never love them but now… YOU’RE SO LONELY! so you torment yourself thinking you were stupid, too stubborn, too quick to say no, that maybe conforming wouldn’t be as bad as this growing, menacing loneliness.
That lost feeling of possibility. When you were young everything was exciting and fun and the future was unknown and full of infinite possibilities. You felt like your chest could burst at any minute from all that restless, blind hope. But now you’re older, and you LIVE in that future, and… there’s nothing in it. All you want to do is go back to a specific moment in which you were particularly happy, be held by it and stay there forever.
The painful truth that maybe you’re not as good at something as you thought you were. Realizing that you’re good at many things but you don’t particularly stand out in any of them. Maybe you’re just average and you have to make peace with it.
If you don’t dream or do things outside of your familiar environment, of what you know, of what you’re comfortable with; you’ll stay in the same place forever. And yes, maybe you tell yourself that that’s what you really want but… is it? or you’re just afraid to try something different?
Some people will pretend to want the best for you but the truth is, behind every “kindness” or “well meaned comment”, there’s malice and envy (@Meg’s friends). You have to stand up for yourself, be true to who you are and don’t spend energy trying to impress people who take joy in your misfortunes.
I saw everyone on twitter tearing Emma Watson apart for saying she’s self - partnered instead of single and decided to watch her interview for British Vogue to know what the hell was she trying to say with that. I was very surprised to find a 30 minute video in which amongst other things she talks about the following:
She felt undeserving when she was appointed as UN Women goodwill ambassador and sought out Gloria Steinem to learn about feminist activism.
She thinks the criticism she received for being a white feminist was useful because it made her educate herself.
She says there’s a desperate need to reform the education system in the UK to change the way they are taught the history of how Britain has been involved in foreign affairs and how they profited from slavery.
She felt anxious about approaching 30 because there’s a lot of pressure to have a husband and a baby by then and she’s still figuring her life out.
She was so young when she was casted in Harry Potter that she doesn’t remember much of her life before it and she went to therapy to deal with her issues with fame. She used to feel very guilty for being unhappy because she thought she should enjoy fame more.
The interviewer is a transgender woman and they discuss transgender issues for a while. Emma is in regular contact with a trans child which makes the topic of trans rights emotional for her because she’s very anxious for this kid’s safety.
She talks about her role as Meg March in the new Little Women movie and defends that unlike what many people say choosing to be a wife and a mother doesn’t make Meg a less feminist character and quotes a line from the movie, “Just because my dreams are different than yours it doesn’t mean they are unimportant.”
She wishes more people would realize she’s not Hermione Granger but also understands why they want to see that in her because Hermione is a symbol for her too.
She used to think she could never be happy without a partner and now that she has learnt to navigate that better and is genuinely happy single she’s started to think of herself as self - partnered in contrast to the time when she thought of herself as single = lonely.
Every media outlet decided to focus in an out of context quote from the three minutes she talked about her dating life when the actual interview had a lot of depth and way more important things were discussed. I’m sad and angry but not surprised.

Teacher Stumbles Upon Baby Bears ‘Dancing’ In Finland Forest, Thinks He’s Imagining It.
“I can do anything,” she said.
“Have you eaten?”
“I can do… most things,” she said, with a half-suppressed laugh.
“When was the last time you slept?”
“Like,” she said, a hint of desperation slipping into her voice, “I can, like, blow up the moon.”
He just looked at her, blankly confused. “… wait, would that help?”
“I don’t know,” she said, suddenly a little confused too. “I mean, it’s the moon.”
“If blowing up the moon is what you have to do to maintain a healthy sleep schedule, then you should blow up the moon. I guess. I don’t know. There’s tide stuff. Would there be, like, tsunamis?”
“The point,” she said, “is that you don’t need to worry about me. Not like this. I mean: I am an incarnate breath of the void.”

Excerpted from Glitch, a forthcoming tabletop RPG about living with chronic illness, depression and identity issues in which the player characters just happen to be retired world-killing void gods. You can approach the game a number of ways, but by default, rather than an adventuring party, the PCs are more like a support group, helping each other find meaning and avoid relapsing into their old universe-ending habits – with perhaps a touch of Scooby-Doo-esque mystery solving to spice things up!
If you’ve read this far, you already know whether you’re this game’s target audience. At the time of this posting, the Kickstarter campaign has about 36 hours left to go, and is already fully funded nearly three times over, though it’s still roughly six thousand dollars short of its Big Art Upgrade™ stretch goal. Now’s your chance to help put it over the top!

oh to be a statue of a goddess covered in moss, somewhere in the garden of the enchanted ruins the castle left behind, for birds to take rest on my shoulders and for animals to sleep in front of my feet, for no ordinary humans to be reached

This is literally the most bomb-ass D&D story I’ve ever read in my life oh my god.

Photographer Mattias Klum from National Geographic gets close and personal with a lion.
On the northwest Belgian coast, there is a little known tradition: shrimp fishing on horseback. The activity consists of what its name describes: fishing shrimp on a horse. In the 15th century, shrimp fishing on horseback was still practised on the North Sea coasts in France, the Netherlands and even the South of England. This activity represented an extra revenue needed for the household. Nowadays there is only one place in which it is still ongoing: Oostduinkerke, a sub-municipality of the municipality of Koksijde.
