My disordered sleep is quite inconvenient, however, the nightmares I get from it are GREAT story concepts. Magnus Pod, hit me up, for real.

When Treebeard refuses to fight, he reasons- because no one fights for him. Merry shoots back "but you're part of this world! Aren't you?"

The shire burning down should have been a focal point in lord of the rings; though sadly it was not ever filmed. You have a settlement of hedonists who pride themselves, proclaim themselves of being removed from the world; But their world is a world that does not care about the complacency of the shire- it is a world that forces them to reckon with their apathy anyway.

I think about this a lot.

This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.

I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge—even wisdom. Like art.

Toni Morrison, from “No Place for Self-Pity, No Room for Fear”
