No mind to think- mind so strong it is able to resist years worth of questions, hopes, and wants. Able to convince all around of something that isn't true. Something that must be so difficult and purposeful to do.

No will to break- will so strong it refuses to give, even throughout countless years of mental and physical torture and the literal weight of the world, heavy upon it.

No voice to cry suffering- voice so strong it reaches beyond Hallownest, it cries to be rescued, and is heard far and wide.

Sometimes I think about Hollow and I, well simply I go insane

A Lich Lord covered his head with rags and disguised himself as a cleric, then joined the heroes' party. His reasoning? He was bored and wanted to see the world without instilling fear.

flat-chested lizardfolk who start wearing shirts with padded curves because most of the species they interact with are, as a rule, into breasts and find it strange they don’t have them…

and also because it’s a good storage spot for hidden weapons, snacks, and valuables

reading nabokov is maddening because his writing is so playful and evocative and effortless and english isn't even his first language. he's doing things in a second language most people could spend their lives trying and failing to replicate in their first language. makes me feel like this

I assure you: somebody, somewhere, is on the exact same wavelength as you are.

And quite possibly also in order to get exact numbers and observations on the thing, because that can be important. Yeah, sure, water freezes into ice when it gets cold, but how cold does it have to be? When it does freeze, does it do so all at once, or slowly? Does it behave any particular way when it freezes, maybe radiating out from a certain point?

Anyone who lives somewhere it gets cold enough can tell you that water freezes, but they may not necessarily agree on the exact details or have observed said exact details. And having those exact details is both useful for studying it more, and for convincing people who don't live where it gets icy and are skeptical about this thing (hard water? how ridiculous) that it does actually happen.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
