fuck saying i love you i want someone to tell me When we find each other no one will be able to tear us apart. We'll be joined so tightly. Every atom of me and every atom of you. When they use our atoms to make new life they'll have to take two, one for you and one for me. We'll be in the sunflowers and the sunbeams. We'll be joined so tight.

“There’s probably a great deal that’s mysterious to you, my Lord President, starting with the relations between a mother and her child. If you thought for one moment that I would release my daughter into the care—the care!—of a body of men with a feverish obsession with sexuality, men with dirty fingernails, reeking of ancient sweat, men whose furtive imaginations would crawl over her body like cockroaches—if you thought I would expose my child to that, my Lord President, you are more stupid than you take me for.”

she came for their existence, she ended their entire careers, they might as well go home now bc its OVER FOR THEM. a SCALPING

“Witches own nothing, so we’re not interested in preserving value or making profits, and as for the choice between one thing and another, when you live for many hundreds of years, you know that every opportunity will come again. We have different needs. You have to repair your balloon and keep it in good condition, and that takes time and trouble, I see that; but for us to fly, all we have to do is tear off a branch of cloud-pine; any will do, and there are plenty more. We don’t feel cold, so we need no warm clothes. We have no means of exchange apart from mutual aid. If a witch needs something, another witch will give it to her. If there is a war to be fought, we don’t consider cost one of the factors in deciding whether or not it is right to fight. Nor do we have any notion of honor, as bears do, for instance. An insult to a bear is a deadly thing. To us… inconceivable. How could you insult a witch? What would it matter if you did?”

Been reminded today of my favourite parallel in anything ever.

not only is this part of the title sequence a frankly beautiful transition, it’s also kind of interesting that the intention craft is centering on lyra. both asriel and mrs coulter are seen using the craft, and their back and forth intentions have been hard to read throughout the season. it’s only when they unite their priorities in the war that they work together, and they do it all for lyra

Surprising find in You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack by Tom Gauld

“Being cheerful starts now, Will thought as hard as he could, but it was like trying to hold a fighting wolf still in his arms when it wanted to claw at his face and tear out his throat; nevertheless, he did it, and he thought no one could see the effort it cost him.”

*dancing around celebrating GAY Mary and saying “fuck you” to toxic ideas that faith tries to impose on people to stop them from living their lives fully* TAKE THAT, CHURCH! GAYNESS WINS!

I see a lot of people lamenting that Lyra has no one to come home to in her world, while Will at least has Mary and his mother.

While this may be how Lyra feels at first, it is absolutely untrue.

She has Alice Parslow, who basically raised her and loves her very much.

She has the Maester, who’s always been kind to her.

She has friends amongst the townie kids and Jordan College’s staff.

She has a bunch of Jordan scholars who are very attached to her, something she didn’t understand as a child but is still very much true.

Most of all, she has Oxford itself. She is back in the only place where she ever experienced stability and safety, and that is far from nothing.

(the secret commonwealth slight spoilers) In that book, young adult Lyra has made many new friends and even lovers (even though she is not over Will).

Lyra is not alone.
