« When I think back on the year 1915, it seems to me that I still hear my friends tell me despondently: "I can't think of anything else! I can't read, I can't work, or find useful distractions (...), I only ruminate about our times, incessantly, until I'm nauseated (...). I've just had two hours of liberty—there was a time when I would have offered them to Tolstoy or Pascal. Today I read about [the war], or European colonial methods; issues that are entirely beyond my reach, but how to think of anything else?"

And perhaps we shouldn't strive to think of anything else; the point is not to turn our backs on our times, but to consider them calmly and thoughtfully. (...) It may be that the philosophy which absorbs you leaves no room for indulgence. Perhaps you feel yourself full of bitterness and rancour towards your fellow men, perhaps you have made up your mind to see in their activities nothing but greed and selfishness. (...) Do not be too eager to prove yourself right! Above everything, do not rejoice in being right in so dismal a fashion. (...) My only ambition is to beg the world to look for anything which can lighten the present and future distress of mankind, to find what interests the soul in a life burdened with troubles and disillusionments, to honour more than ever the faithful and imperishable resources of our inner life. (...)

The storm rages on, the events escalate, worsen, never cease. Never have they seemed more complex, more severe, more demanding. More dangerous. Wherever we turn, an opinion holds up its head and vehemently solicits our belief. (...) Our convictions, our certainties, are at each other's throats. (...) Yet mankind, even in these terrible hours, is only seeking happiness. Men have set off to conquer happiness, clutching in their hands the tools which will forever destroy it. (...) The wrong direction the world has taken is so obvious, so cruel, so vast (...)

Regardless, I would suggest not to lose hope—so long as a single wallflower still opens, in April, over the ruins of the world. Like algae, like mosses, like these laborious lichens which attach to the very ruins their infinite need for happiness, we will find joy in our present affliction and we will grow it, like a wind-battered plant in the parched soil of a wilted world. »

— Georges Duhamel, La Possession du monde (translation mine) Written in 1917 as he worked as an army surgeon.

Terzo + poor balance + falling ⚠️

this awesome fan art by @pomidaea reminded me i've been wanting to make a post about Terzo falling.

Terzo fell down while performing 3 times:

the first time Terzo fell down during a concert was while singing 'From The Pinnacle To The Pit' at Beach Goth festival in 2015. he tried to kick a giant beach ball and completely missed, which caused him to lose his balance and fall.

hilariously, he fell at the exact moment he sang the word "falling".

Beach Goth festival - Santa Ana, California, USA (October 24, 2015)

'Mummy Dust' is a notoriously dangerous song for Terzo. he fell off the stage while singing it twice.

the first time was in Denmark in 2016, and Terzo got seriously injured.

Herning, Denmark (June 21, 2016)

the second time was in England in 2017.

Leeds, England (March 28, 2017)

Terzo always toughs it out and continues the show. he even joked about falling during 'Mummy Dust' at the show the day after his second fall.

PAPA EMERITUS III: So we're gonna do a song now that is so heavy that even… not even I can fucking stand on my feet for this one. Glasgow, Scotland (March 29, 2017)

Terzo just seems to have really poor balance. one time he even lost his balance while sitting down 😂

Kansas City, Missouri, USA (September 30, 2016)

he doesn't fall every time though. nice save, Terzo 👍

Omega: Crosshair, Tech’s dead.

Crosshair: No he’s not.

Omega: I saw him fall.

Crosshair: Well who the hell is lying on my floor.

Tech, led on the floor: Hello Omega. As you can tell I survived the fall and was attempting to break both me and Crosshair out.

Omega: Then why are you led face down on the floor.

Tech: I tripped over a bucket.

tbh it’s very bizarre to me that Delenn wasn’t shown to be terribly clumsy.

sure, of course, I cannot have an aide who will not look up, you will forever be walking into things

but the minbari have this sort of grace and elegance in all that they do. it might be nature; it might be nurture— but it’s probably a combination thereof.

she’s half-human. humans can be (and often are) clumsy as hell. being half-human, half-minbari is going to offer some anatomical changes, and therefore the manner in which one would interact with the physical world.

puberty and growth spurts often make people clumsy— and Delenn is an Olympic medalist of anatomical changes. changes in center of gravity, stride— hell, getting her hair caught in/stuck on things!

Delenn is clumsy, and it’s a shame we didn’t truly get to see it.
