#all the wasted chances

[pratchettquotes]

"You know what the greatest tragedy is in the whole world?" said Ginger, not paying him the least attention. "It's all the people who never find out what it is they really want to do or what it is they're really good at. It's all the sons who become blacksmiths because their fathers were blacksmiths. It's all the people who could be really fantastic flute players who grow old and die without ever seeing a musical instrument, so they become bad plowmen instead. It's all the people with talents who never even find out. Maybe they are never even born in a time when it's even possible to find out."

She took a deep breath. "It's all the people who never get to know what it is they can really be. It's all the wasted chances."

Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures

The Valar's mistake did not lie in seeing a possibility of good in Melkor. Rather, their mistake lay in not seeing the equal possibility of him remaining evil.

cheers to the future of humanity (and the future of us)

[ID: Digital illustration in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun. The illustration takes place during the ship/home arc, specifically chapter 21. At the center, Vash is grabbing Wolfwood by the collar and pulls him into a kiss in the middle of a celebration. The pair is colored in vibrant warm hues while their surroundings are colored in cooler colors like green and teals. Luida, Brad, Meryl, and Milly are shown amongst the crowd, occupied in the celebrations as Vash and Wolfwood share a moment by themselves at the center. END ID]

So my group mates that worked on compositing thought it needed to be 34 seconds not 33 and didn’t check with the rest of us until after it was uploaded so I’m pretty sure we’re disqualified ���� I’m gonna go lie down and pass out for the rest of time now

Just a quick gpose of Sol and Ajisai :D Her name is Solrun Steelweaver and her personality is 'Best Blacksmith'. If memory serves, she's a level 40-something black mage on the cusp of meeting Haurchefant for the first time. I shipped her with Merlwyb and my partner's Roe-- Meri.

how to explain to your parents that you can't move back in with them because every time you're near them a big part of you buries itself and you're not sure how long that part can stay buried before its hidey hole becomes its grave?

...without offending them, of course

a luxury I really appreciate having with 911 right now is TIME. like we don't need buddie canon immediately. I don't need eddie to realise his feelings next episode or bucktommy to speed run a whole relationship arc. we can take our time having their individual stories or relationships be on the back burner whilst the focus is on other characters, we can let things grow and develop in a steady healthy way, we can even have a season finale that leaves things open for more next season. I'm soo excited for this season but I'm just not feeling any urgency for what's next, I've never been happier just vibing and trusting the writers

Kipperlily not having been ragestarred is such a win for me it just makes me more mad we barely got to see her in action. Also her not getting resurrected… They didnt even get to interrogate her or ask her why she did anything she did… You’ll always be in my heart angry teenager ❤️ You might be the reason I start reading fanfiction

Not a single day goes by where I don't think about Kaz accidentally saying Jordie instead of Jesper in the fight in Crooked Kingdom.

i have a room in wobbledogs exclusively for teeth. whenever dogs drop their baby teeth i send the teeth down the chute to to the teeth room. it's because they have a potential effect on dogs when eaten (shifts their hue toward white and increases their glow) that is cool but not quite desirable for every dog out there, and because teeth are so small, they get easily lost in nooks of rooms and also get eaten by dogs you didn't want to eat them, and when you have a dog you want to make eat teeth it's sometimes a pain to find enough. someday i will unleash dogs in here to eat teeth

people don't get that Lucrecia is absolutely fucked up person and that's good, that's the point

I hate Dirge of Cerberus as much as anyone and I'd throw the entire thing into the ocean too especially for how it goes about Lucrecia's story but her being a fundamentally broken person whose prone to guilt ridden mental break downs? No absolutely not, it was the one thing they got right about her. Lucrecia is ultimately not a good person as much as she wants her intentions to be good because there's no world where a good person would do what she's done to any child, much less her own child she carried for 9 months

like talk about dead on arrival, Sephiroth didn't have a chance because whether or not Jenova is his mother or Lucrecia is his mother, he was still created with the exact purpose of being used by Shrina. When he couldn't be Cetra, he became a weapon and the fact is that Lucrecia knew this going in

like Lucrecia wasn't stupid, she wasn't naive, she wasn't blinding running into the experiment with Hojo leading her by the hand, she knew what she was doing

but the last shred of conscience kicked in at the last second and realized the enormity of her actions

and who KNOWS, right? maybe in another universe had she gotten out before it was too late, had she been able to raise Sephiroth somewhere out in the big wide world or given him to some one who could have protected him from Shrina, Sephiroth could have had a good life

but I doubt it because for all of Lucrecia's (of which I believe) love for her son it doesn't change that deep down Lucrecia was broken enough or determine enough to do what she did in the first place and things like that don't get fixed because the shame suddenly smacked her up the face

Lucrecia and Sephiroth are ultimately a tragedy--the woman who should never have been a mother and the child who should have never been born
