#i've had it on my mind for a while

[sunsetandshadows]

As the sun sinks below the horizon, the shadows lengthen and grow, before they engulf the world in darkness. The night plays and teases, its inky black coating the earth. It plays tricks on the mind, makes you wonder what could be hiding around you.

The shadows spend their hours frivolous and gleeful, free from the sun's watchful gaze. Until morning comes again and the sun peeks back over the horizon, and the shadows flee once more, burned by its light. The sun chases them across the sky, its rays scaring them into hiding.

Perhaps that is why sunrise and sunset are the most beautiful times of all. When the shadows and the sun meet, the world explodes into colour, and we watch them meld around us. Until the battle ends and the shadows either slink away into hiding or evade the sun's onslaught for long enough.

Though they fight eternally, neither will ever have the upper hand, and one cannot exist without the other. They form a cycle of day and night, a cycle we all know, and a cycle they can never break. A cycle they never want to break.

tf superhero show with orion pax who has The Matrix of Leadership, allowing her to transform into optimus Prime whenever he wants, doing a magical girl transformation and everything, to keep cybertron safe from the Evil decepticon hands

superman-like in the sense that nobody knows who orion pax is, nor where does Optimus prime come from, but she keeps appearing to fight the Very evil warlord megatron who swears to conquer cybertron once and for all

and also orion is a nerd bc obviously and he's all quiet and off-putting but she channels all of her Feelings that she doesn't let out as orion into bursts violence from Optimus against the Forces of evil or something. idk. therapist who

and obviously i'm first and foremost a MEGOP sucker so the two fall in Love and megatron eventually learns about orion and she's like "i can't believe you hid your real NERD identity from me. i thought u were cool but u suck 'el oh el' (LOL). but its ok bc ily". and she gets smacked and then they hold hands and the world is saved forever. the end

I think I underestimated how cool it is that Little House books are a "woman remembers her childhood" children's classic by an author from a working-class and rural background. Most working-class books of the genre have urban settings, and most rural girlhood classics come from a family that's in a fairly stable community--maybe not rich, but comfortable enough that they don't have to worry about whether they'll make it through a winter.

Laura Ingalls grew up dirt poor in a family that knew how to grow or build or hunt or make everything that they needed, because they had to. Yet when she grew up, she got into a position where she could publish about it. Which is pretty astounding, because people in her situation are usually too busy doing the farmwork to write about it--they don't have connections to the publishing industry. Yet she did, so we get to hear from someone who knows that farm and small-town setting intimately, and not because she grew up and and ran off to the city as soon as she could escape, but because she still lives it and loves it and advocates for it.

She knows the details of that life and loves it. Like, she genuinely cares about raising the chickens, not as a housewife's hobby, but as an important source of meat, eggs and money for the family. It's grounded, earthy, sensible, but also romantic, because she while she's doing farm work or house work she's noticing the little moments of beauty or thinking about the big issues of life. But it took a long series of coincidences to get this ordinary farm wife into a position of wanting to write, being able to write, and having a national audience for her writing, so I just want to appreciate how amazing it is that it happened.
