As you may have already discovered, doing or acquiring more does not quell your unease or dissatisfaction. Neither will 'meditating on the light' or attempting to rise above the sufferings of earthly existence. Only awareness of your shadow qualities can help you to find an appropriate place for your unredeemed darkness and thereby create a more satisfying experience. To not do this work is to remain trapped in the loneliness, anxiety, and dualistic limits of the ego instead of awakening to your higher calling. ~Robert A. Johnson~

Not to victim blame or anything, but if i were trying to organize a non-doomed Arctic expedition i would simply not name my ship the Terror

A shadow flies overhead, disturbing the many bats clinging to jagged edges in the ceiling, and momentarily blotting out the dim light.

"This is a rare gift indeed," the shadow declares, falling to the floor, "and I am not one to refuse such a thing." It then changes shape, twisting and folding in on itself until it takes the form of an elf-like maiden who is clearly not of this world. Her skin has a death-like pallor, and her smile reveales teeth as sharp as tiny blades. "Come closer," she says. "It is time you made good on your offer."

Also Izzy's monologue was bad and the cinematography in the cell was bad but i don't think you guys are ready for that conversation yet.

Gotta Be Patient or My Very Own Personal Venus

SUMMARY: November 2013-April 2014

"There’s nothing romantic about sexting, baby, as much as you’ve hinted that you’d enjoy the experience. But… well, a letter is another matter completely, isn’t it?"

Or: seven letters that Casey McDonald writes to her hockey-playing fiancé; ranging from the sentimental to the smutty to the poetic to the simple domesticity of a happy life.

Dying takes a moment only, which is well known; but Living is as hard a thing as the grave.

I’m watching friendships fall apart before my eyes and it’s breaking my heart. Years long friendships crumbling over such foolish things. I hate that I can’t do anything. I know that I’m not capable of being completely unbiased and even if I was, my interference likely would just make the situation worse. But it’s killing me and I hate it. Yet even in my complaining and crying, God is reminding me to give it back to Him. To know that prayer is my greatest tool, to ask my Father to fix what I can’t, to protect me from such conflict.

Lessons in Darkness

I'm not sure if I came up with this, or if I read it somewhere, but a line kept going through my head while I was watching this. 'Every generation thinks theirs is the apocalypse'. For Werner, it was the Gulf War. It's tempting to point and laugh given our position thirty years later, but his portrayal is spectacular.

Darkness and Light as gods but darkness keeps making paper stars and light keeps making trees on their own pocket reality domains because they're pinning for the other

This had been my toxic ship since about halfway through our short Chronicles of Darkness game. Anyways, this never happened ingame... but I wish. 😭

My Lord Thû, what must I do to show you my true humility?

*sweeps hair from neck, should you wish to mark me*

Your growl is but my command.

The air grows cold as Thû comes closer, his curiosity piqued. No one had willingly offered to let him mark them before.

"Are you so eager for my favor?" he lilted before rearing his head. The gasp he heard when teeth sank into soft flesh was as sweet as any melody.

Pleased with how well you conducted yourself throughout the exchange, Thû comes to a decision and steps back. "You have proven your humility," he declares. "Now rise."

Man. I'm in a void with a lightbulb, and I focus so much on the lightbulb. So much my eyes hurt. I can't bare the darkness that surrounds me. When the lightbulb dies, I'm lost. Like I'm no longer part of the world, nothing to be, nothing to see feel or touch. And when that lightbulb is replaced, I stare at it once more.
