Selyse Florent Baratheon as a character is just fascinating to me. She’s like 6’5”, she’s a religious zealot AND a late-in-life convert to a foreign religion, in fact she’s very close with the spooky foreign priestess who’s having sex with her husband, she’s severe and her husband is nearly ascetic but she has lots of jewelry and finery, she’s deeply insecure about her appearance, HER SISTER FUCKED THE KING ON HER WEDDING DAY, there’s a non-zero chance she’s going to sacrifice her only child to a fire demon god for like,, basic scouting information, she’s this very cold and prissy wealthy woman unhappy in her marriage— and yet what passion, what fire burns beneath…!

new modules, new reading lists, and new multi vitamins are doing wonders for my motivation

unlike the professor who released our class details three days ago - our books should arrive on time but how much we can read by next week is…questionable

at least the storms are over. storm isha tik toks were right, battling the wind as a student with no car is really not it

Reading an article on how no one truly knows how to read a book front to back anymore is making me so terrified I literally don’t gaf if I’m a biochem major it’s looking more and more every day like I’m going for that literature master’s degree for no reason other than to feel something

i could go mad trying to piece together my thoughts on how crucial it is that Nathan Wesninski's specialty is the Butcher. the images. the symbols. the heritage. the violence. the Modern American Gothic of it all—paired with the Edgar Allan Ravens.

he’s not a strangler. he’s not a stabber. not a poisoner. he doesn’t shoot people. he doesn’t wield a chainsaw.

he’s got a meat cleaver. a fully stocked arsenal knives to cut and skin people and animals alike. his specialty requires time, patience, precision, but remains deadly and violent af nonetheless. it’s chilling.

think of the buckets of blood. the bits and pieces. the sounds. the mess. the smell. the stickiness.

the world is his livestock; Mary his prize cattle; Nathaniel his legacy that’ll only escape the slaughter if he butchers others first, if he learns and wins the pig show.

He seemed convinced that children's questions were much more important than those of an adult. He preferred smart questions to smart answers.

To be a philosopher you do not need to be a professor but you do have to love and understand nature.

My recent Hobbit hyperfixation has culminated in me writing a Hobbit/LOTR college au of questionable quality. Whether I continue it remains to be seen, but for now enjoy whatever this is.

Edit: there are lil offshoots to this now! 1 2 3 4 5

Also if you want to ask about anything in this au, my ask box is open!!

E. E. Cummings and T. S. Eliot’s poetry are in the same font, but one is italicized, and the other is bold and also on fire

I have just resolved to apply for a master's programme in Latin language and Medieval Studies after I'm done with English Philology and I have not felt this at peace with my future in a looong time.

all said by me in a server with my friends where they give me a channel where only i speak, because i speak to much

feat; a snip from a real story about alan alda that my anthro professor told me [story happened around the time the movie The Aviator was in the casting stage]

Soon after I began working for the Professor, I realized that he talked about numbers whenever he was unsure of what to say or do. Numbers were also his way of reaching out to the world. They were safe, a source of comfort.
