Thomas Jefferson to John Adams
Updated for the Modern Reader
You said you wished I'd stay alive and healthy long enough to become a Calvinist, or at least praise Calvin's god; that wish would make me immortal.
See, Calvin didn't believe in any god. What he worshiped was obviously a demon.
You and me, we worship the creator of the universe—a good guy who does good things! Calvin's "god" is so disgusting that it would actually be better to be an atheist than to insult God by saying He's like that.
Actually, on the subject of making atheism seem attractive: I think the idea that it takes a supernatural revelation to prove that God exists encourages atheism. Every Christian sect believes that, and they shouldn't! These days, apparently only 1/6 of all the humans in the world is Christian. By standard Christian reasoning, that means the other five sixths (since they don't believe in the Jewish and Christian revelations) completely lack all knowledge of the existence of a god!
This pretty much hands the win to atheists.
Modern atheists (the disciples of Ocellus, Timaeus, Spinosa, Diderot and D’Holbach) have this one argument that they think can never be debunked:
Whenever you're trying to figure out how things started, you have to assume that something always existed, right? And if you're going to reason logically, you shouldn't say there are definitely two things when one is enough to explain everything.
Then they say that it's simpler to assume that physical reality has always existed, with all its processes and changes and reproductions, according to the physical laws we see going on around us today and which may continue going on forever, than it is to assume the eternal existence of an invisible, unknown, non-physical, incomprehensible Creator.
I disagree.
Without appealing to revelation, I hold that all we have to do in order to know that there's a creator is look at how complex and perfect all of physical reality is.
Look at how the stars and planets and moons etc. are held so exactly to their paths of movement by the perfect balance between the force that makes things spin and the force that pushes things out and away from the center of spinning things. Look at the construction of our own planet, and how much water we have vs. air and land. Look at the plants and animals, and how well they work! Look at bugs! They're so tiny, but their bodies are just as functional and well-organized as the bodies of humans and elephants! Look at all the minerals there are, and how useful they are to us!
It is impossible for a human mind to take all of that in and not believe it was created on purpose.
You have to believe that there is design there. Cause and effect, all the way up to an ultimate cause, someone or something that makes stuff out of matter and motion, that upkeeps things it's currently allowing to exist in their present forms, that regenerates them into new and other forms.
We know that there's some superintending power that keeps the universe running in order. We see proof of it all the time. Well-known stars have disappeared and new ones turned up instead; comets probably run into planets and stars and so on and have to be remade somehow; certain species of animals have become extinct, and if there were no restoring power, eventually every organized living being would be extinct and there'd be nothing left but a chaotic, unliving mess.
This is such strong evidence that, for all of human history, most people have found belief in an eternally pre-existing god much simpler than belief in a universe that just exists on its own.
Only one in a million people has ever been an atheist—maybe less.
Surely the fact that most people throughout history have believed in a creator makes a creator the simpler hypothesis!
Besides which, some early Christians did actually believe in both an eternal creator and an eternal creation, without being confused about which came first in that case. Cardinal Toleto tells us that's what St. Thomas believed:
"Deus ab æterno fuit jam omnipotens, sicut cum produxit mundum. ab æterno potuit producere mundum.—Si sol ab æterno esset, lumen an æterno esset; et si pes, similiter vestigium. At lumen et vestigium effectus sunt efficientis solis et pedis; potuit ergo cum causâ æterna effectus coæterna esse. Cujus sententiæ est S. Thomas Theologorum primus."
See?
Now, that's not enough to tell us anything about the nature of this creator and maintainer.
Jesus tells us that God is a spirit (John 4:24), but doesn't tell us what "spirit" is. We know that down to the third century it was still considered a physical thing, albeit lighter and more airy than our own physical bodies. According to Huet's commentary on Origen, "Deus igitur, cui anima similis est, juxta Originem, reapte corporalis est; sed graviorum tantum ratione corporum incorporeus," while Origen himself said "appellatio ασοματον apud nostros scriptores est inusitata et incognita."
Tertullian said the same: "Quis autem negabit Deum esse corpus, etsi deus spiritus? Spiritus etiam corporis sui generis, in suâ effigie." These two experts, Origen and Tertullian, lived in the third century. So that proves what was believed then.
John Calvin seems to have copied the Jews to get his god's character. But the whole point of Jesus was to fix the Jewish idea of God's character: when Jesus spoke to the Jews, his goal seemed to be to take those blasphemous attributes the Jews had put on God and replace them with more worthy ones, pure ones, sublime ones.
Jesus's ideas about cosmology are clearly laid out in the first three verses of John 1: "εν αρχη ην ὁ λογος, και ὁ λογος ην προς τον θεον και θεος ην ὁ λογος. οὑτος ην εν αρχη προς τον θεον. παντα δε αυτου εγενετο, και χωρις αυτου εγενετο ουδε ἑν ὁ γεγονεν." The true translation of these verses is, "In the beginning God existed, and reason [or mind] was with God, and that mind was God. This was in the beginning with God. All things were created by it, and without it was made not one thing which was made."
Obviously what Jesus meant by this was that all of physical reality was created by one supreme, intelligent being.
But modern Christians have taken this verse and twisted it to support their idea of three gods in one! They mistranslate 'λογος.' Sure, it can mean 'a word', but that's clearly not what it means here, because that's gibberish!
A word, an action or articulation of the voice and organs of speech, creating something? Don't be ridiculous! It obviously ought to be translated 'reason'. Translated that way—which is a perfectly legitimate way of translating it—the verse explains how God existed before everything else and created everything. Modern Christians insist it be translated as 'word' because they know that's gibberish, and the only way to make it even approach sense is to turn the 'word' into a whole other preexisting being and attribute the creation of everything to him instead of to God.
This allows the atheist to point and laugh at a god so useless that a vibration in the air does more creating than it, and to hold up the idea of a preexisting physical universe as infinitely more likely.
The truth is that the greatest enemies to the teachings of Jesus are those who claim to be explaining them. They have perverted the doctrines of Jesus to build the structure of an utterly incomprehensible imaginary castle that they like better than truth, a castle with no foundation whatsoever in Jesus's actual words.
Someday, the idea that Jesus was mystically generated in the womb of a virgin with the supreme being as his father will be filed right alongside the myth of Athena being mystically generated in the mind of her father Zeus, and I hope that that dawn of reason and freedom of thought in the United States will not only do away with all this artificial scaffolding, but also restore to us the genuine teachings of Jesus, who was a most venerated reformer of human errors (like the Jews'—and Calvin's—idea of God's character).
So much for your quotation of Calvin's "Mon dieu! Jusqu’a quand."
When addressed to the god Jesus worshiped, the god you and I worship, yes! I join you in that wholeheartedly. May we both end up in heaven whenever God wills it, us and all our ancient colleagues, and together hear God telling us, "Well done, my good and faithful servants."

I know little to nothing about Ludovica's partner, but to me seems she'd wear pink or purple (tho idk if those colors were popular during the 1500s) pink because itd be a neat contrast with ludo's green, purple because its a regal color
I also keep stubbornly visualizing her in pink! Not barbie pink but something along the lines of dusty rose or light mauve. I don't think I've ever seen pictures of any proper pink being worn in late renaissance times though, it doesn't exactly fit the aesthetic (but I could be wrong of course). Most pastel colors are strongly rococo (1700's) coded to me.
#I'm sure there are people who know a lot about the history of fabric dyes and why pink only became popular in the 1700's#but I'm not one of them weh#was it difficult to manufacture or something? I know saturated red and purple were expensive until synthetic dyes were invented#answered#anonymous#I think I'll see if she looks nice in pink and if she does I'll just use that#I try to do my research but in the end I'm not aiming for strict authenticity#artistic liberties have been and continue to be taken#see fig. 1: my beloved anachronistic clawfoot tub

ive been thinking about the red string superstition recently and also sol bufo always and it makes me sick how uncannily caldwell tanner has made sol to perfectly target me personally

#naddpod#ba2mia#ba2umia#solum bufo#swag daniels#calliope petrichor#calder kilde#alexandrite#posts by me dot com#okay..... SECRET TAGS RAMBLE!#so basically this superstition is like ... i think a chinese/buddhist/taoist superstition?#ive taken some creative liberties with it... but its mostly accurate to how its been told to me?#but of course theres lots of variations! some more abt bad luck; some say to tie it on the doorknob#etc etc ... lots a variations#i was also rlly interested in the .... weird illogic? of the thing?#like the red attracts and repels spirits at the same time#so thats something i was thinking about with too. red is assocuated with both swag and alexandrite. which to me was kinda reflecting like#i think what murph said . swags place in the wild is in a way. an extension of what he learned from the network#mothership s inextractivle from sol and swags lives. they will always be held doen by it. thats the spirit that will follow them forever#that they choose to hold on too! as much pain as it brought ... some of the experience was worth it#and anyway. theres somethingwrong w me that the minute someone brought up this superstition my brain went#'ohhh just like sol!' < needs to touch grass moment#but i CANT BELIEVE. CALDWELL DID THE RED STRING. AND ITS LITERALLY A MOURNING RITUAL#caldwell keeps accodentally makig that frog ASIAN. to MEEEE!!!!!!#but. anyway. idk. ive always hced sol kept the piece of yarn and it makes me kinda .... what if y let the malicious spirits follow you.#and haunt you. what if its the closest you can get to keeping the person still around#and sol and swag obviously have so much about homes .... so!#(ok. weve reached the pt where maybe nobodys reading? so confession is this is sort of a well. ive just been doodling this comic everyday#after a wake. and it was sort of inspired after realising i was even a bit sad about it maybe. so. idk its about sol but also?#i guess the projection doesnt end at him being asian. hehe. is what i mean. LOL. okay secret tags over . buried lore. dont look here folks)

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH + BAND OF BROTHERS:
JOSEPH "JOE" RAMIREZ
Born October 5th, 1921, in Nebraska
Died April 8th, 1988 (age 66), in Martinez, California
Joe Ramirez enlisted in September 1942 (age 20) in San Francisco, CA, and he trained with Easy Company at Toccoa. Holding the rank of Private, he served in Normandy, Holland, and Bastogne. He was hospitalized in January 1945, and discharged in July 1945. After the war, he was married for many years, and had children and grandchildren. When he passed away he was buried with his wife, who had passed away 11 years earlier. Further information about him is scarce, but the brief character profile in the Band of Brothers series bible describes him as Mexican-American, and his personality as "sensitive and nervous."
Appears in Episodes 1, 3-8, and 10; portrayed by actor Rene L. Moreno
Sources below
A million thanks to @bleedingcoffee42 for tracking down this info for me!
#joe ramirez#joseph ramirez#band of brothers#rene l. moreno#mine: gifs#hispanic heritage month#latino heritage month#sources vary on whether he was a Private or PFC#they seem to have taken A LOT of creative liberties on the show bc#the only 2 anecdotes about him in BoB seem pretty diff from his character on-screen#not to mention that he would've been in the hospital during events of episodes 8 and 10 (each of which he's in several scenes)#on the other hand i do really like his character in the show and think he's one of the best and most underrated background characters#and why yes i am completely normal about him 😅#but also i'm sure he would've been great too if they'd made him more accurate to what limited info exists about the IRL guy#I forgot to save a few of the documents that bleedingcoffee42 sent me unfortunately but these are most of them!#but from one of them (his draft card?) i discovered he lived like 1.5 miles from my grandparents!!#(tho of course they moved there in the 50s so who knows if he was still living at same address by then... but still!)#oops i originally had the episodes he's in listed wrong on this#so AFAIK he's only NOT in eps 2 and 9#in ep 1 he's twirling a knife at the beginning and eating spaghetti next to Guarnere and Malarkey and playing basketball in England#in ep 6 he's eating the bean soup near the line when Sink arrives#in 7 he's sitting next to popeye and then in the church at the end (maybe in Foy but i'm not positive)#in ep 3 i thiiiink he's in Carentan next to Buck? and he's at the party in England sitting next to Lipton and listening to Gordon#in 4 he's in too many scenes to list here#in 8 he's in too many to list#in 10 he's hunting for food with the group and standing next to Grant's shooter when Speirs comes in the room

Episodes 1-101 Mouri Ran's Wardrobe
So many doodle ideas for Detective Conan and yet what I actually end up doing is cataloging Ran's various outfits...
Still she has a lot of cute ones and it's interesting to see them all, I'll probably continue. That said there's a lot so they're all just sketches but feel free to use as references.
#detective conan#dcmk#mouri ran#ran#my art#WIP#she has so many it's very impressive#some liberties have been taken regarding colour/shoes/bottom half of the outfits in some of them#if I made any mistakes or missed any from this period pls let me know#I dunno if I'll get through the whole show but I am finding this super interesting so we'll see how much I get through#current favs are ep52 the cardigan looks cosy and ep76 cause it's cute#least fav probably tiger strips from OP2 it's an odd look

Colours in My Stand In. 1/3: Green and Yellow/gold
Joe is earth-toned - green, blue, and brown. He’s hopeful and generous, sincere and loyal, but downtrodden and degraded. He is Ming's whole world…even if Ming has only just realised this.
Ming is heat and fire - yellow/gold, pink, red. He’s jealous and affluent, emotional and immature, aggressive and dominant. He’s the sun to Joe's Icarus: From a beautiful blush of dusk or dawn, to the dangerous heat of the fire burning within.
For Joe and Ming - Joe, who's always wanted someone to come home to, and Ming, who only smiles when with Joe - the green and yellow/gold is Joe and Ming's best versions of themselves. It's home, it's them together, it's their happiness.
Even if those moments of happiness are tinged with uncertainty or pain.
Ming, who likes his eggs "sunny side up", who met Joe for the first time surrounded by yellow and lights, and who fixed the mugs with gold - letting the light in.
And Joe, who the show is telling us is green, and who picked up a waiting Ming against a backdrop of green and yellow.
Green and yellow/gold is what they're both striving for and to get back to. It's why Ming's new apartment looks so similar to Joe's.
And why Ming believes Joe is still alive somewhere, and sleeps enveloped in Joe's green.
Ming thinks he's in love with Tong and that his affections began with seeing Tong's back, but we know now that Ming fell in love with Joe first...which is why we first see Tong illuminated in golden light wearing a green top, right after Ming had been captivated by Joe's back in the green light on the screen.
And why Ming is wearing blue and green in front of a green and yellow background when he first meets Tong, and why Ming has a green phone case and wants to feed Tong the green sweet.
He thinks Tong is his green guy but it's really Joe...which is why Tong's back in the green and gold makes Ming immediately think of Joe at home.
Ming thought he was in love with Tong but it was always Joe. Tong was always the stand-in for Joe...and that's why when Ming finally realised, he walked straight towards the firelight and home.
#my stand in#my stand in the series#this took forever to try to articulate#I'm not even sure I've done this well#but here it is#check out parts 2 and 3 for more colours with this tag ->#colours in my stand in#I've been looking at these screenshots for hours#so I may have taken liberties with my interpretation#forgive me

regardless of the "learn how to be alone" dravel, being lonely actually is really bad for your mental health and can be very painful :p
#i've been doing so so bad#and i've had breakdowns frequently this past week#and i dont have friends or family or a partner or even a therapist lmao#so im alone and thus only feeling worse and worse#my mom has been in an unusual bad mood lately so i havent been able to talk to her at all#but today she asked me to go to her to the store bc she wanted me to buy smth#and on the way we watched the snails and she found them cute (she has never appreciated snails before)#and now i instantly feel a bit better and a bit more normal after only 15 min of hanging out with her#it's so easy for ppl who have family or friends or a partner to judge and criticize me#but like.... u have ppl close to u and u know nothing abt what it feels like to be in my position#it's so condescending and lacking of compassion#i dont understand your pov either but at least im not TELLING YOU directly how much i judge you#like ppl judge me so hard for feeling miserable in my loneliness... but it's easy for u to say those things#like u dont feel my despairing loneliness bc u have a fkn partner. u have fkn friends. or a fkn family. easy for u to judge me from up ther#anyway im much better at being alone than most ppl bc im still alive and im enduring the pain every day#other ppl have ppl around them 💀 only others who are all alone can understand how much it hurts#and it wont be fixed by loving yourself or loving to be alone or whatever other bs they use to criticize u ._.#being alone IS harmful to your health. there are studies on it and im not just making that shit up#i AM allowed to feel pain bc i dont have anyone#ugh esp ppl w partners who can receive physical and romantic attention.... when they judge me.....#stfu forever u have no idea how i feel 💀 and u could never know simply by having had a partner at all...#but yeah. it bothers me too bc i NEVER see someone on here and go#damn i hate this sm i gotta let them know by sending them anons or vague post abt them#like i dont get up in their faces and tell them all my judgemental or bitter or hateful thoughts abt them#even this post is only bc other ppl have taken the liberty to without my consent or having asked tell me directly how pathetic i am#how im not allowed to feel alone. how i have a victim mentality so on and so forth#i never tell other ppl things like that. even if i think them (which honestly i rarely do unless they're extremely toxic TO other ppl) i wo#say shit abt it to them.... ??? like why?#when i sometimes see like ppl have friends on here or talk abt their partners i can feel bitter and jealous#bc im surrounded by seeing things i so deeply crave but im not a humanbeing worth of those things

Loki surveilling the skyline of New York from the top of Stark Tower and clocking that his favorite paired set of buildings are gone. sad
#everyone wants thor and loki to have visited earth a bunch of times and obviously they wouldn't be too invested in earth politics#but i think the concept of much time passing between visits should be taken advantage of#like what if one of them missed seeing the statue of liberty on their past 3 visits and now that's 'suddenly' a famous historic landmark#Loki like wow I sure hope that restaurant in the Soviet Union is still around!#and Natasha's head whips around so fast like you mean Russia or one of the surrounding countries that used to be part of the USSR#Loki: uhm. well. what's the difference#Natasha: here is a map of the countries does this help#Loki: it does not help but thank you for trying#Thor: what do you mean Rome is gone???? Rome was HUGE?????#Tony: well it's been a few centuries since then Europe is very different now#Thor: (visibly distressed) so the the sweet effeminate men enjoy the streets no more??#Tony: ...I don't keep track of foreign border laws about that#Thor shows up after 3 years and there's a new president and he's very confused through the entire meeting#brodinsons being so detached from the political scene but being so used to realm politics they come to correct conclusions about things#even though the timeline and how long things stay the same on midgard still messes with them#Loki: at least Egypt is still around#Thor: China also#Brodinsons visiting New Zealand(Aotearoa)/Australia/various British mandate islands before the British formally showed up#returning 2 centuries later and 'the gene pool has altered drastically' 'must've been a war'#well it's either that or since Asgard seems spared of colorism they treat all humans as the same and don't notice. which might be worse#on the colonisation and liberation side of things

ok ok ok like i thought “the chosen” would suck cause “blah another series about the life and times of jesus” like we GET it it’s been around for CENTURIES you guys make the same damn movie all the time
but it’s actually legit really good? lots of pretty good representation! not everyone in the movie is white. actual portrayals of jewish culture instead of just ignoring that part. disabled people. matthew being autistic. characters that aren’t just two dimensional. the people in it feel like real people. there’s actual jokes, jesus cracks a few and they’re really funny?? so far nothing hateful, no gay or transgender bashing. it calls out the church for being judgemental and hateful in a way that’s very tasteful
it’s not perfect tho. jesus is…still white for some reason? despite mary not being white? and no one else around him being white? no gay people in it which is kind of a bad and a good thing…but it’s a portrayal of jesus and the people around him as human. as real life people who felt things and made jokes and rolled their eyes and stuff. also the guy they cast as jesus is pretty hot as are all the disciples. which isn’t the point or whatever but i can’t say i’m complaining. it’s free online and i think it’s worth a watch!
#it’s an adaptation of jesus that is more realistic#ofc he’s perfect and doesn’t sin but the point was that he was loving and kind and considerate and people all wanted to be around him#he doesn’t hesitate to walk straight into the dangerous or sketchy areas#he genuinely connects with and loves everyone he meets#they take liberties ofc but none of them are bad and add to the series as a whole#also as always i’m still gay and transgender as ever so no trad catholics or whatever touch this pls#but as a christian it makes my heart feel warm#it’s taken so so long to get an adaptation of any kind that depicts jesus as the kind of man who genuinely loves the people around him#not as some deity but as a human being loves other human beings#he is very human in this. it’s something christian’s don’t like to talk about#but if he went around talking like they do to other people#he wouldn’t have been able to last 10 seconds in the areas he was at#he wouldn’t have been welcomed there#it feels more faithful to the actual bible then they ever make him sound in any church service i’ve ever been in#the chosen#seriously check it out! it’s a genuinely good watch#especially if you have an interest in religion in general#i thought i’d hate it but i love it#pls know i’m being genuine abt this#and also the dudes they cast actually could pass as the age the actual apostles and actual jesus were#instead of being like 40-50 lmao#and them being hot is like just an added bonus sorry i have eyes

Jame - alright everyone, clearly something very strange has happened her. we have each seemed to have acquired superpowers from that government testing. We've been given a gift! And whether that gift is Yeva's telekenisis
Yeva - *Не слушаю. Играю в тетрис.*
Jame - Jordan's demon transformation.
Jordan - *hiding in the shadows. in a deep gravely voice* I'm batman!
Jame - Nori's creepy tentacles, occasional yellow eyes, and teleportation abilities.
Nori - ask me how the queen of England is.
Jame - ...*unbemused*hows the
Nori - *teleporting away and back again*oh she ded ):
Jame - Luna's morphing abilities.
Luna - hey Jame, I'm a fox >:3
Jame - my ungodly abomination of an all consuming eldritch snake transformation. And Emily's... super amazing ability to have a tail and antlers.
Emily - *crouching on the chair*I've duct tape a knife to my tail.
Jame - we have a responsibility to use these powers properly and not to abuse them for personal gain. Understand?
*everyone had already left to cause havoc except Yeva*
Jame - Yeva, do you understand?
Yeva - эмм… да, но чтобы быть уверенным, не могли бы вы повторить все, что вы только что сказали, слово в слово.
#so all these powers listed are in fact canon#except Luna's because I ran out of known corrupted powers and needed one more to finish the skit#but every other character has been shown to have said powers in Murder Drones (with healthy creative liberties taken of course)#murder drones#murder drones spoilers#murder drones details#jame murder drones#yeva murder drones#jordan murder drones#nori murder drones#emily murder drones

SO I've loved this song and this band for ages (have you ever seen a live pop song performance with a harp? you have now) so I figured it's about time I did a translation
我用什么把你留住 - 福禄寿
How can I make you stay? - Floruitshow
你忘了 划过伤口的冷风
You've forgotten the cold winds blowing over open wounds
你信了 不痛不痒就算过了一生
You've believed that you can let your life pass in numbness
你 为什么 看见雪飘落就会想唱歌
But why do you feel like singing when you see the snow fall?
为什么 在放手时刻眼泪会掉落
Why do your tears fall in the moment of letting go?
一个一个走过
One by one, they pass by
一个一个错过
One by one, you miss your chance
一遍一遍来过
One by one, the story repeats
一次一次放过
One by one, you let them go
一声一声笑着
Time and again, you laugh
一声一声吼着
Time and again, you scream
一幕一幕闪着
Time and again, the scenes flash by
刺痛我
Bringing me pain
因为享受着它的��烂
Because we're enjoying its brilliance
因为忍受着它的腐烂
Because we're enduring it's rottenness
你说别爱啊 又依依不舍
You say don't fall in love, yet you're unwilling to let go
所以生命啊 它苦涩如歌
And so life itself is bitter as song
因为享受着它的灿烂
Because we're enjoying its brilliance
因为忍受着它的腐烂
Because we're enduring it's rottenness
你说别追啊 又依依不舍
You say don't chase after it, yet you're unwilling to let go 所以生命啊 它苦涩如歌
And so life itself is bitter as song
你睡了 可时间它依然走着
You've fallen asleep, but time is still passing
你怕了 恍然抬头梦却醒了
You've gotten afraid, but you jolt upright and awake from dream
你会静默 手握着星火等在至暗时刻
You stay silent, holding onto starlight as you wait through your darkest hour
你被击破 当熟悉呢喃又穿透耳朵
Your mind is struck, when familiar murmurs pierce your ears once more
一个一个走过
One by one, they pass by
一个一个错过
One by one, you miss your chance
一遍一遍来过
One by one, the story repeats
一次一次放过
One by one, you let them go
一声一声笑着
Time and again, you laugh
一声一声吼着
Time and again, you scream
一幕一幕闪着
Time and again, the scenes flash by
刺痛我
Bringing me pain
因为享受着它的灿烂
Because we're enjoying its brilliance
因为忍受着它的腐烂
Because we're enduring it's rottenness
你说别爱啊 又依依不舍
You say don't fall in love, yet you're unwilling to let go
所以生命啊 它苦涩如歌
And so life itself is bitter as song
因为享受着它的灿烂
Because we're enjoying its brilliance
因为忍受着它的腐烂
Because we're enduring it's rottenness
你说别追啊 又依依不舍
You say don't chase after it, yet you're unwilling to let go 所以生命啊 它苦涩如歌
And so life itself is bitter as song
想不想看花海盛开
Do you want to see the sea of flowers blooming?
想不想看燕子归来
Do you want to see the swallows returning?
如果都回不来
If none of them come back
那么我该为了谁而存在
Then who should I live for?
想不想看花海盛开
Do you want to see the sea of flowers blooming?
想不想看燕子归来
Do you want to see the swallows returning?
如果都回不来
If none of them come back
那么我该为了谁而存在
Then who should I live for?
因为享受着它的灿烂
Because we're enjoying its brilliance
因为忍受着它的腐烂
Because we're enduring it's rottenness
你说别爱啊 又依依不舍
You say don't fall in love, yet you're unwilling to let go
所以生命啊 它苦涩如歌
And so life itself is bitter as song
在这浩瀚星河你是什么
What are you, in this vast sea of stars?
在她温柔眼眸的你是什么
What are you, in her gentle eyes?
闪着光坠落 又依依不舍
Shimmering as you fall, yet you're unwilling to let go
所以生命啊 它璀璨如歌
And so life itself is brilliant as song
你一定要看到花开
You must stay to see the flowers bloom
你一定等燕子归来
You must wait till the swallows return
想着它们都会回来
Knowing that they will come back
你誓死为了这些而存在
You swear on your life that you will live on for them
你一定要看到花开
You must stay to see the flowers bloom
你一定等燕子归来
You must wait till the swallows return
想着它们都会回来
Knowing that they will come back
你誓死为了这些而存在
You swear on your life that you will live on for them
#floruitshow#translations I made#cpop#cpop translations#chinese langblr#mandarin langblr#this song is so full of like. the kinda deeply poetic and concise language that doesnt convert to english very well#so some of the lines just get real fuckin long KJSDHFKSDJHF#also this song does a lot of that thing where chinese doesnt necessarily require a sentence to have a subject#so some of the lines are actually pretty... vague/up to interpretation?#so like... some liberties may have been taken lol#also holy crap this song is bloody long
