You found us.

George Martin, 2013: "In a very basic level winter is coming for all of us. I think that’s one of the things that art is concerned with: the awareness of our own mortality. “Valar morghulis” – “All men must die”. That shadow lies over our world and will until medical science gives us all immortality… but I don’t think it makes it necessarily a pessimistic world. Not any more pessimistic than the real world we live in. We’re here for a short time and we should be conscious of our own mortality, but the important thing is that love, compassion and empathy with other human beings is still possible. Laughter is still possible! Even laughter in the face of death… The struggle to make the world a better place… We have things like war, murder and rape… horrible things that still exist, but we don’t have to accept them, we can fight the good fight. The fight to eliminate those things.There is darkness in the world, but I don’t think we necessarily need to give way to despair. One of the great things that Tolkien says in Lord of The Rings is “despair is the ultimate crime”. That’s the ultimate failing of Denethor, the Steward of Gondor, that he despairs of ever being able to defeat Sauron. We should not despair. We should not go gentle into that good night".

JRR Tolkien, 1962 : "One reviewer once said, this is a jolly jolly book, all the right boys come home [...]- this isn't true of course, he can't have read the story. [...] Human stories are practically always about one thing, really, aren't they? Death. The inevitability of death. . . . . . (He quotes Simone de Beauvoir) 'There is no such thing as a natural death. Nothing that ever happens to man is natural, since his presence calls the whole world into question. All men must die, but for every man his death is an accident, and even if he knows it he would sense to it an unjustifiable violation.' Well, you may agree with the words or not, but those are the key spring of The Lord Of The Rings".

"Lotr is all rainbows and unicorns and Asoiaf is nihilistic and grimdark". Wrong, and wrong. In all its hope and radiance, lotr often gets very dark, and despite all the death and suffering, the hopeful moments in asoiaf shine bright. The meeting point of these two is this: having hope while in despair, and even better, refusing to give up because you have to go on despite not having any hope left.

the sandra lynn / fig conversation is driving me Insane. fig saying that sometimes she doesn’t wanna exist as herself at all…not wanting to ask her friends how they see her (because she’s afraid to hear their response) saying that to someone she is a monster and she Cannot stop thinking about it. sandra lynn starting the conversation saying she needs to step up but is also simultaneously taken aback about what fig expresses and doesn’t know how to responds to it and suggests getting ice cream. sandra lynn saying “convincing people they deserve good things is really tough” talking about herself but how it also reflects fig. insane!!

Goodbye note.

[maysrinn]

In the Capitol AU, is Ma Plinth the honorary grandmother of the Snow children? The one that Lucy Gray likes to visit and leave the kids with?

She is 💫

Grandma’am despised Lucy Gray to the core and besides Janus, none of the other children got to meet Grandma'am, as she passed away just a year after he was born, coinciding with Coriolanus being 25 years old in the timeline. She possibly only accepted her great grandson for primarily resembling Coriolanus. Not surprisingly, Grandma'am never referred to Janus as Sejanus, a fact that didn't bother Coriolanus at all but was quite unlike Lucy Gray's reaction.

On the other hand, Mrs. Plinth always sprung into action whenever a new baby was born, eagerly offering her assistance to Lucy Gray. Lucy Gray gladly accepted her help because it felt genuine, unlike the maids and Avoxes of the household who were either paid or coerced into their duties. Additionally, Ma treated Lucy Gray with genuine love, viewing her as a beloved daughter-in-law. This warmth and affection from Ma made Lucy Gray feel comfortable leaving her kids with the Plinths, whom she genuinely enjoyed visiting.

However, Lucy Gray isn't quite sure about Strabo. This uncertainty stems mainly from his distant demeanor and his overly strict nature, which makes him a bit difficult to connect with.

______________

I adore the image of Ma doting on each grandchild, eagerly showering them with every treat imaginable. Rosie, in particular, is a little sugar-addicted gremlin, constantly in need of an energy boost, and Ma is more than happy to oblige. Rosie points excitedly at pictures of decadent cakes, pastries, or cookies, exclaiming, "THIS, THIS, THIS!!" and eagerly awaits her Grandmama to work her magic in the kitchen.

Although Lucy Gray does try to intervene and caution Ma about giving the children too much sugar, her efforts often fall short against Ma's loving indulgence. After all, who can resist the allure of those sweet, delightful treats made with Grandmama’s tender care?

No Xanthos is not forgotten! He’s actually just like Rosie just not as vocal and hyperactive about treats and snacks XD he craves them, oh yes, and Ma always notices even if he doesn’t right out say it.

Mrs. Plinth is among the rare few who refer to Janus by his full name, Sejanus, which doesn't sit well with Coriolanus.

5.9.2024 Tan Jianci's interview with Entertainment Lab 《娱情实验室》 EP 51

[cinderswife]

ah yes, my favorite media. a grand story about the horror and tragedy of war set featuring a massive space war that was a rebellion against an oppressive colonial empire hellbent on conquest (which also experiments on its subjects), a main cast of mostly female characters, a key romance between two women, and a clone army of female super soldiers.

my favorite character in this story is a woman named rose. though not physically present in the text, her absence echoes throughout the narrative in a way that makes those closest to her do great and terrible things. she comprises one half of the key romance (of which the other half is deeply devoted to her even after she is gone). she has done some deeply awful things in her past, but that doesn't stop me excusing her shitty actions <3

wait, am i talking about steven universe or once upon a time in space?
