Dreams: The Touchstones of Our Character

Dreams are much more than fleeting thoughts or aspirations; they are the touchstones of our character. They reflect our deepest desires, our core values, and our true selves. By understanding and pursuing our dreams, we uncover the essence of who we are and what we stand for. The Essence of Dreams Dreams serve as a mirror to our innermost thoughts and emotions. They reveal our passions,…

Do you ever feel like it's too late, or you're too far behind, or it's not worth it to start something new?

Don't believe it!

In reality, it's never to late to get started on whatever it is you dream of doing. The time is going to pass anyway, right? Might as well put it to good use by going after that thing you really want.

Get started today. I believe in you!

AHA thank u i was mostly just. frantically pulling the "no hetero" card bc farcille is super super always endgame for me and the "marcille has two hands" thing is absolutely not for me and my personal characterization of marcille

i like. can't find it anymore for some reason but there was a farcille fic set just after the shuro confrontation where laios reaches over to hold marcille's hand and ask her if she likes him or if she's just tolerating him too and it was so. the vulnerability. the puppyness.

that safety and security he must feel in knowing that she wears her heart on her sleeve and he will always know when she's unhappy with him because she will absolutely let it be known. the way that falin's first revival was the turning point for the way he felt about her because, for the first time in his life, protecting falin wasn't something he had to shoulder alone. there was finally someone else who cared about her as much as he did (in his eyes, resenting his parents for failing to protect her) and would stop at nothing to save her. the way it must have been proof for him that, not only was falin not alone anymore, he wasn't alone anymore.

idk why i like rather than dislike the fact that his only framework for parsing how he feels about "the first girl other than his sister that he's ever cared this much about" is a comphet romantic lens. like he would have the autism moment of fully assuming that he's in love with her for a while and just like. not? doing anything about it? because he doesn't feel the urge to, nor is he sad that he knows marcille would mostly likely never "feel the same way" about him?

like. he "figures out" that he's "in love with marcille" with all the passion of printing out a label and sticking it onto a favourite scrapbook for organizational purposes. he's equally happy to be her husband or brother-in-law so long as it means she stays close and is part of his family.

i know logically i should hate it but it's sooo crunchy to me. my comphet besties ever. designated plus one and dance partner to all fancy and formal occasions. having actual real chemistry but the "romantic" part of it is some weird shapeshifter smokescreen. augh

everyday I wake up and lament that I didn't choose science studies when I was 13 but instead decided to go to a language high school. and everyday I wake up and get incredibly frustrated that I shouldn't study literature bc "it provides no career opportunities"

it is rare in toku shows where i want an old person to yell at a young upstart artist that they're not as good as they think they are but dang am I hoping that happens in next week's gavv

man listening to AHWTV hits so different now. like the characters in that album were always tragic, they always had sad stories. but after listening to jenny from thebes it feels like they were all doomed from the start. idk if jeff and cyrus were ever explicitly a part of jenny’s crew but regardless it’s hard not to hear echoes of jenny’s narrative in the best ever death metal band out of denton

"I think funding the arts is a waste of time."

If you say this people will think you're a dickhead. But people say the same thing about astrophysics easily. How is astrophysics any different from art? artists do residencies and are given a living wage to explore their special interests which they then represent to the world. is that not what astrophysics is? Astrophysics is art.
