(one of those too-long posts I might delete later)

What fascinates me about Childe is how he's an embodiment of Nietzsche's Amor fati, 'love for one's fate'.

Seeing everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary. Accepting the world as some kind of perfect poetry. Celebrating the chaos of what is.

(Nietzsche considered it to be "the formula for greatness in a human being")

...and, just as it was easy to twist Nietzschean ideas into Nazi propaganda (despite him being strongly against everything Nazis ever stood for), it was easy to turn our precious boy to something just as sick.

I'm almost sure Mihoyo writers *know* the concept and nazi references are intentional.

His Golden House speech is pure perfection in term of references, really.

(a link to a great discussion about links between amor fati and fascism)

#his story is also such a wonderful (and likely unintended) commentary on the modern notion of 'living your dream life'#and 'taking responsibility'#he invented his calling #and followed it #and got good at it #and he's good at everything he does #and believes in himself #and sees poetry in the world #and practices radical acceptance #and he does take responsibility for his life #authorship of his own story #all those things positive psychology tells us to do #this is as badass as it gets #the result?#the result is war crimes #but maybe it will all work out in the end #it must #right?#it's ironic in a way #a normal *human* reaction to some things is grief and despair #and being broken #and needing help from others #being a champ about certain things might lead you to breaking geneva conventions #although in teyvat those are more of geneva suggestions anyway #childe #tartaglia #genshin impact #fatui

#web weaving #webweaving #on loneliness #on grief #on missing someone #on love #quotes #poetry #text #i miss them so bad it aches! i want to cry in their lap again! i want to tell them about everything! i want the world to stop ending!#i was treated like a dog. i left on my own but i still miss the doghouse in the backyard #it wasn’t much but it was something. i should’ve taken what little i could get. i didn’t know that i would leave and get nothing instead #the decision to eat nothing instead of the scraps on the floor is insane. and now i’ve got nobody and we’ll never talk again #there’s a person with half of my soul walking around and i can’t do shit about it #i forget them for a moment but then i see them in my instagram notifs and i blow up the world

Beautiful, But Broken

#bg3 #tiefling #tw blood #c: Viivi #so I redid my bg3 character because I wasn't feeling durge that much. So now my sibling does durge and I regular tav Viivi #(changed her to tiefling for funs)#at least I meant to do regular tav but uhhhhh things have gone very unfortunately very fast #anyway. Viivi is an artist; she does painting sculpting poetry and some prose. Experimenting with this and that #unfortunately she is deaf which made making connections a bit hard in the fine arts world #fortunately she has a patreon with one very generous patron (she's fey warlock)✨ who has bestowed some gifts of charms for her #which have opened doors of many art galleries #She's not a fighter so although she is confident in her own lane she is also very aware of her mortality #so she avoided any fights she could #which might have saved her but also got her into the mess of her lifetime #you see she couldn't fight the entire goblin camp and their leaders. She would've just not survived that. So she convinced them #that she is a True Soul. She is good at convincing people. It worked. They thought she is on their side. Good #Halsin also though Viivi was on their side. Halsin attacked Viivi's party. Now Halsin is dead.#So Viivi and her group were still alone deep within enemy fort. Viivi made new plans. She frees the prisoner who says he will warn the grov #Good thinks Viivi now they know to flee. I will go to Minthara and tell we got the information from prisoner of the grove location #she will trust us and we walk off #when we get back to grove they have not fled and Minthara is at the gates #Minthara wants Viivi to sound the horn. Zevlor wants Viivi to sound the horn. Viivi asks Zevlor to please tell this plan in detail.#Zevlor says just blow the horn already. Viivi does that. Minthara thanks Viivi for leaving the gate open as planned #Zevlor does not thank Viivi for that. Viivi is confused as she did not leave the gate open. (for real the damn gate was left open)#So I did a Massacre.#now Karlach is gone Wyll is dead. Lae'zel is also dead #but apparently Minthara is ready to be very loving and sincere with Viivi. The most helpful person she has met in very long time.#Viivi might love her #so that is how she's doing.

(tsfs feels anyone? fanart below.)

You've been in his head.

But he says, never faltering, the words,

"I choose the danger."

It is in that moment that you understand:

He could never, would never,

Has never hated you.

Now you realize:

this is what humans refer to as love.

#star trek #star trek fanart #spones #spones fanart #but like not NECESSARILY you know i think their relationship is a very close one in general. and this scene #isn't indicative of any particular individual type of love. just love the way it matters (all of it does.)#my other roman empire...#look this is what i mean when i say i love when love isn't perfect. because it never is #love takes different forms and shapes and moulds itself to the people who grow into each other's crevices and cracks #there's no ONE perfect way to love so that it's called love. love isn't perfect but what it is is growing with someone else.#and they're imperfect and they are SO so good about that. They're so special to me for that reason #something something teaching each other about what it means to exist in this world. mellowing each other out.#seeing the ugliest most uncomfortable parts of each other at first glance and despite that LEARNING to find the shape of each other--#in their hearts and in their lives and in their worldviews.#i would choose the danger...(i would choose you. i would choose you again and again and again even though we arent perfect)#i would love you until the rough parts of me understand the rough parts of you #i think that's cool.#leonard mccoy #bones mccoy #spock #dust medibang paints #dust talks #the search for spock #star trek poetry #i dunno but it feels right.

I will never be this version of myself again, so let me slow down and enjoy being with her.

Let me love the moments in which all I want is to destroy myself. Let me appreciate the strength it takes to keep myself together. Let me cry myself to sleep one more time, not because of misery, but for the moments I missed while basking in the shadows of my own lament.

Let me finally allow someone to reach me, to appreciate me, to touch me, to love me; and let that person be me. For none have been as true to me as I, despite the scarcity of gratitude towards myself.

Oh I’m utterly fascinated by how people of the past expressed the unexplainable through art and poetry, turning their turmoil from being alone and misunderstood into something beautiful that all may see.

Honestly a shame that people now just whine about not enough flags to represent them when at some point in the past many individuals would not even know how to justify what they were feeling nor find people alike, and to atleast find comfort in the solitude escaped through music and literature, fanaticising about worlds where such a thing was normalised or turning themselves into a beast, to share with the world the level of their inner workings.

#Silly #queer #lgbtqia #alterhuman #therian #otherkin #literature #victorian #art #poetry #writing #nonhuman #gothic #dark #gay #lesbian #asexual #pansexual #bisexual #relatable #neurodivergent #”Buh but we don’t have enough xyz!”#Boohoo you litterally have an ever growing community online full of supportive people and places.#Not to be a “back in my day” but back in the 1300s. 1700s. 1900s. Despite that being still a thing then #Barely anyone if any at all could consciously be aware of what they were feeling was something normal to them #Most saw these beyond normal people as beasts. Creatures worth putting down.#So it isn’t strange that people began to experiment with creation to tell the world how they feel or see themselves #Show everyone the true self and inner workings #Just how many have portrayed themselves through their work and we don’t even know about it?#Anyways sorry not sorry for the rant

Jack Marsh (2005), Friendship Otherwise - Toward a Levinasian Description of Personal Friendship

#saw carnation lily lily rose by john singer seargent irl today. it was basically at my doorstep all along idk why i never went to see it #it was placed at a corner in the gallery. me and my friend sat down and sketched the paintings of beautiful naked people quite badly. paper #provided by tate britain. she told me about how she couldnt look her boyfriend in the face after a harrowing film about war. when i say the #interview was informal i mean the person who was supposed to be my boss told me let me get you a cider and then he said after #50 years of life he knows people are inherently good and it only takes a little bit of kindness to save this world. he said he tricked #his wife into keeping the baby and then he said he quit his job at a US bank to help people find meaning and in it #he would have liked to find meaning. instead he started climbing with his friends. he said he chews his cigarettes because its a habit from #when he had to hide things from people. the entire time i felt uncomfortable and incredibly enlightened. this is my friends mentor. she has #his pattern of pauses and expletive and penchant for ends-justify-means attitude. i do think im not very clever #but maybe one day i will love you enough to make up for it. i wrote code i dont understand staring at the final error i thought about how #we both thought of how when we're too old to remember the voices of our friends we would like to stand in the pathway of the LHC beam pipe #cut it open and eat light in the freezing cold vacuum (kills you long before radiation will) the invisible puncture wound unfolding dna #back to the start larger than you ever were. you go to heaven once youve been to hell. my friend is in my bed #practicing calculations of eigenvectors by hand and she is uninterested in a visual proof you are uninterested in incompetence #we catch a train this is your kind of burden you tragic hero wincing at that word you only do this because you have to. im the only one #who can. i am a coward in this for the fucking poetry. the visual proofs. the pretty numbers. an architect who was horrible at maths wanted #to be a philosopher and accidentally ended up neck in deep in 70th Error On Visual Studio Code i want to kiss your eyes before we say #goodbye we both know there is no love in the way there should be. I still have your dress in my wardrobe. i hope you make art.#you think im alright head-wise i think you fucking hate me i think ill never be so clever you want me to tell you my idea?#if you wanted more of this world i would have liked to kiss you harder. we cant both be like this. im sorry i cant be with you the whole wa #the love is gone if you have to ask it. his breath catches his eyes feel stiff it is -1.9 kelvin he is near the beam pipe i miss holding #his hand i miss her singing voice i miss his hair and i found the antonym of pain thank you for carrying me home.

i love anthologies. anthologies are so sexy

#in an alternate world where im an english lit major the norton anthology of english lit is my bible #it's by no means an exhaustive overview but i really love how everything is in its neat timeline #and you get a general vibe for how literature was back then as opposed to just going in blind. u see how everything influences everything #a major (maybe a bit irrational?) fear i have is i come out of a book w superficial understanding #and while that has contributed to unfortunate reading slumps i do also like this trait of me #where i am actually focused on giving a book/period of time the respect it deserves vs just reading it flippantly #i like doing my silly little pre-read of a period of time/author before jumping into it #i don't do pre-reads for everything but there are books where i find it necessary to prime my brain for absorbing them #and anthologies are good for that #and they're also a good resource for investigating authors whose vibe sits right w u.#or for knowing the general quaintessential authors of a certain genre of lit #i also love poetry anthologies #the commentary comparing/contrasting certain authors is also rly interesting to me . ok i'll shut up now #p

Gojo gives a note to sukuna like : "I wanted to write

A cute hikyu for you

Do you wanna smash?"

He does not, in fact, end up smashing he gets a long winded passionate lecture about the art of poetry and tries hollow purple-ing himself halfway through

GDJDHDJDJFFHFDJF worst part is, gojo IS capable of good poetry. and sukuna know this. but he likes lecturing (and poetry), even though satoru spends 90% of the time talking back and finishing sukuna's sentences, giving supposed correcting comments (that get debated. and then debated back. and so on and so forth)

but sukuna keeps at it, and satoru does learn quite a few things. technicalities that instantly improve his verse. or at least align it more towards heian era style poetry. sukuna is proud.

and THEN they fuck. obviously

#jjk #f.ask #sukugo #satoru relates it to more modern style. and talks in reference point to that. he does have slight knowledge of olden poetry tho #and then on the flipside satoru teaches sukuna more about modern arts. old man that he is. he needs to get with the times.#but also omg do u think sukuna sings? or at least tends to be someone who hums under his breath? it suits him.......#and what does he listen to? reggaetón. obviously #everytime teaching is involved in anything ship i always think about that part in hidoku shinaide where maya has like a test the next day #and he has to study so the other guy forgot his name starts whispering the formulas into his ear while they're having sex so he can learn #them. and then the next day. maya is in the middle of his test and he gets a bo/ner #in the middle bc thinking about what he learned made him be plagued him with memories of them fucking #is this relevant. no.#but also yes #sukugo teach each other WHILE they fuck #also gojo DOES end up making a Beautiful poem. but it virtually says the same thing. still an invitation for sex #and sukuna follows it. and they have a lil exchange. with each poem more deranged than the previous. but also much more polished as well.#someone 1000 years later finding an exchange of poems by the great sukuna and Gojo prominent figures in the poetry world.#they translate them. it's all just about how much they wanna tear each other apart (sexually) (and non as well let's be honest)#honeslty. i would LOVE to see sukugo teach each other things. it would be amazing.#somehow they are turned on by how annoying the other is

thinks forever and ever about how Caroline was a bad person who did bad things out of love before eventually becoming GLaDOS and being a bad person who did bad things but for Herself this time. and then eventually doing one (1) good thing out of love.

and how that one good deed will never make up for any of Her past actions, and She is in Hell (Aperture) forever. but She did, one time, do something kind. it will haunt Her forever and She will never know peace about it. but She did do it.

#something something the whole discussion in SR about why Will Of The People makes me emotional #and in general the idea of fictional characters #because like...#in the real world there is no such thing as karmic justice #there is no god there is no hope there is only a cold uncaring universe #but in a story no good action goes unseen #even if in-universe there is never any reward and nobody sees it and the characters never know #there IS a whole other world of people who see it and praise them #who love them and make art of them and write poetry and songs about their good deeds #they are immortalized and given happy endings in our world #does that make any sense #candaru rambles #portal 2
