still feel it is vitally important we have more sucked-into-a-portal-and-sent-on-magical-quest stories, but instead of a group of pre-teens it’s a group of resentful night shift retail workers
Back in the 1970s, a woman from a Native American tribe wrote a letter to my Oma to ask about her life and requested mementos from Japan in exchange for mementos from her tribe and she sent photos of herself and of her way of life, she sent feathers and beaded accessories, a flute she’d carved, she sent turquoise jewellery, she sent a tape with birdsong and with the music she knew how to play, and a bouquet of different pressed flowers. She also sent a dress and shoes for my Oma to wear and a few drawings of how to get done up and dressed in the clothes she’d sent.
As my Oma tells it, she received the package, saw the things, and thought to herself “this woman has sent me her finest” so she sent back a full kimono and all of our accessories, pearls from the sea, a shamisen, crafts that she had made, jars of the makeup we’d use, dried fish, lacquer, a perfume, pressed cherry blossoms, photos of the mountains, and photographs and mementos of Japan. She drew a diagram of how to get done up, took a photo of herself wearing the things that the woman had sent her, wrote “you and I are not too dissimilar!” on the back of the photo, and sent it off. She received a reply with another photo of the woman in our kimono with “You’re right! You and I are very similar!” written on the back of the photograph.
I just really love how Nikolai is everything Kaz’ reputation makes him to be.
Kaz isn’t born out of wedlock. Still he refers to hinself as the bastard of the barrel. Nikolai tries to hide the fact that he is a bastard for his reputation.
Kaz is the one called Demjin and treated like an actual demon. Nikolai turns into the demon people feat in Kaz.
Kaz has built rumors around his gloves, about having hands soaked in blood, hands covered in scars and having claws. Meanwhile all of these are true for Nikolai.
And the funny part is, when you talk about a powerful demon boy who is a bastard and hides his claws and scars inside of gloves, you would definitely think Kaz Brekker first. But it actually refers to Nikolai. In this they are direct opposites.
hey girl. did you know that it’s okay to never fucking forgive them? that no part of you is required to pretend to be okay with all that stuff that never should have happened to you? that you’re allowed to be angry for all ways you were stolen from you? okay, just checking. i love you.
I didnt realize Elon Musk had other kids from before Grimes, but learning he has an 18 year old trans daughter who is legally filing a name change to match her gender identity and so she’ll no longer be related to her father in name really puts his “pronouns suck” “this isnt your heart” shenanigans into a much worse light.
noooooo i don’t have a praise kink haha….. it’s just a coincidence that my pupils turn into little pink hearts when you tell me i’ve done a good job 🥴🥴🥴
i feel like elon musks’ company being named after tesla, an inventor and humanitarian whos ideas were stolen and accredited to a man (edison) who was notorious for stealing ideas and being a shitty capitalist who purposefully made it so more people would be without resources so he could be richer, is a bit backwards but shows the universe does at least have a sense of humor when it makes the evil guys
btw still going to die mad and be mad forever that tesla wanted to make electricity free and designed the means to do so bc he thought it was a human right to be part of technologic advance and edison was basically like “lol no” bc he couldnt make money off it. i would literally dig edison up again to piss on his corpse if i could
intense burning rage and violence for what they did to this man
