Tomb Raider 2 - Wreck of Maria Doria:

“Another level with a similar aesthetic as the previous one and it’s probably one of my favorite levels in the game. I love the whole concept of exploring an upside down ship. This is such a gorgeous level. Also, it’s a fun one as well. It may be a bit of an annoying level because of all the backtracking but I think it’s worth it.”

The Wreck of the Maria Doria 🌊🚢

The time it took me to complete this level just goes to prove it was an absolute beast and a real challenge. I loathed this level, absolutely despised it, it always kept me on edge with each room I entered and made me jump at every noise. It made me fear entering water and think twice about what to do. Yet I seemed to enjoy it, it was an interesting level all in all, the idea of it all being upside down was so cool and truly threw me off a lot. It's such an interesting design and concept for a level.

The level I feared the most has been beaten though, and fighting off two sharks and god knows how many barracudas is a thing in the past. At least I bloody hope so because that was terrifying and stressful to say the least.

I managed to find all the secrets in this one, which resulted in getting back the grenade launcheras! We also managed to acquire a new weapon! The M-16! I forgot to get it in one of the earlier levels so we've got it now, better late than never 😁

I know there's two more levels apart of the whole underwater lot and we have yet to find the Seraph the monk spoke of but, the Wreck of the Maria Doria has truly been beaten. When will these levels end? But I won't complain any longer, time to prepare ourselves for the Living Quarters and hope we can get to the bottom of this and find the Seraph 🤔

Your blog's *chef's kiss* and I wish to ask do you have any quotes or what comes to mind when it comes to love mingled with grief/pain? Like losing someone at the stinging cost of the other? Or looking at a completed wonderful thing but knowing the pain and blood it stands on to be that way? Or when you look at someone realizing you now share hearts whether youd like it or not, that no bond in both your lives will ever come close to what both of you have(1)

how the love stiches both of you up, how achingly tender & vulnerable & warming it is and almost crying looking at where it is, how it is, what it became and what it grew from. Would love to hear if you got any that pops to your mind❤(2)

you are so kind! thank you, angel ♡ here and here are posts that reflect love mingled w grief/pain and tender/sweet love. here are a few more quotes that sort of encompass both for me:

“Not a day passes that I do not see ourselves, you and me, as we were when we met first. Every day of my life I see that.”

James Joyce, Exiles: A Play In Three Acts

“We can never go back. I know that now. We can go forward. We can find the love our hearts long for, but not until we let go grief about the love we lost long ago, when we were little and had no voice to speak the heart’s longing. All the years of my life I thought I was searching for love I found, retrospectively, to be years where I was simply trying to recover what had been lost, to return to the first home, to get back the rapture of first love. I was not really ready to love or be loved in the present. I was still mourning — clinging to the broken heart of girlhood, to broken connections. When that mourning ceased I was able to love again. I awakened from my trance state and was stunned to find the world I was living in, the world of the present, was no longer a world open to love. And I noticed that all around me I heard testimony that lovelessness had become the order of the day. I feel our nation’s turning away from love as intensely as I felt love’s abandonment in my girlhood. Turning away we risk moving into a wilderness of spirit so intense we may never find our way home again. I write of love to bear witness both to the danger in this movement, and to call for a return to love. Redeemed and restored, love returns us to the promise of everlasting life. When we love we can let our hearts speak.”

Bell Hooks, All About Love

“My heart is full not of guilt, or shame, or remorse, but of grief… Everything has become too terribly mixed up.”

Boris Pasternak, in a letter to Leonid Pasternak, from Letters Summer 1926: Pasternak, Tsvetaeva, Rilke

Jamie Anderson // Art piece by Ikenaga Yasunari (x)

“But if it’s love, by God, what is this thing? If good, why then the bitter mortal sting?”

Petrarch, from the ‘Canzoniere’ (tr. Mark Musa)

“bittersweet, undefeated creature – against you there is no defence”

Sappho, from Poems and Fragments (tr. Josephine Palmer)

“And if I should pick out the good in you – each shard of broken light, like glass from the wreck of such beauty, and look at that – or one golden afternoon when you hovered above me in rapture, oh half god – how would I bear to lift my hands, how would I bear to close my eyes and let you fall, and love be damned?”

Cecilia Woloch, “Lucifer, Full of Light,” Carpathia

Ada Limón, Bright Dead Things; “The Good Fight”

“...and if I cut myself, it was you I bled.”

Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping

“I don’t know what they are called, the spaces between seconds– but I think of you always in those intervals.”

Salvador Plascencia, The People of Paper

Henry Dumas, Knees of a Natural Man; “Valentines”

“No te nombro; pero estás en mí como la música en la garganta del ruiseñor aunque no esté cantando.

I never call your name, but you are in me like the song in the nightingale’s throat even when it’s not singing.”

Dulce María Loynaz, Absolute Solitude: Selected Poems; “Poema LVII” (tr. James O’Connor)

Marguerite Duras - India Song (1975)

“I am sad because I love you, because I love you so much, and because I am not a bee to buzz with you lightly. I am not a flower, not a tree, not a rain-hewn stone. I am not a storm or a cresting wave, not a thorn or a vine. I am not the sun stinging the water, not the moon on the snow. I am not a star in the dark. I am not the dew-wet wind, not the cloud-stained dawn. I am only a girl, a small, plain girl, a girl who must smear her lips in honey to be found sweet.”

Amal El-Mohtar, The Honey Month

“Whether it was the quality of light or the clarity of my feelings for you, I don’t know, but there was softness and no blurring. ‘This is not a lie,’ I said to myself. ‘It may not hold, but it is true.’”

Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping

“He takes her in his arms. He wants to say I love you, nothing can hurt you but he thinks this is a lie, so he says in the end you're dead, nothing can hurt you which seems to him a more promising beginning, more true.”

Louise Glück, from Averno; "A Myth of Devotion"

Anna Akhmatova, Final Meeting: Selected Poetry (tr. Andrey Kneller)

“Your dying is my dying. / In you I exist—to live or not.”

Euripedes, from Alkestis (tr. Anne Carson)

Richard Siken, “Scheherazade” 

“First love tempts / then puts out our eyes.”

Salma al-Khadra al-Jayyusi, from ‘Dearest love - III’ (ed. Charles Doria), Women of the Fertile Crescent: An Anthology of Modern Poetry by Arab Women (ed. Kamal Boullata)

Interactive :: House Saints by Hala Alyan

“We were the heartbreak of truth. / We were willing to break even more.”

Andrea Gibson, from The Madness Vase; “Close For Comfort”

“God, what are you doing to me? / What am I doing to myself?”

Adonis, from ‘Concerto for the Veiled Christ’, Selected Poems (tr. Khaled Mattawa)

“No. I was not afraid of him; but of myself. I seemed reborn in his unreflective eyes, reborn in unfamiliar shapes. I hardly recognized myself from his descriptions of me and yet, and yet – might there not be a grain of beastly truth in them?”

Angela Carter, from “The Bloody Chamber”

“It is true we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another.”

Mary Shelley, Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus

Keaton Henson, “Alright”

Velimir Khlebnikov, The Collected Poems & Writings of V. K. “My Darling,”

“But love is impossible and it goes on / despite the impossible. You’re the muscle / I cut from the bone and still the bone / remembers, still it wants (so much, it wants) / the flesh back, the real thing, / if only to rail against it, if only / to argue and fight, if only to miss / a solve-able absence.”

Ada Limón, Bright Dead Things; “In A Mexican Restaurant I Recall How Much You Upset Me”

The Letters of Frida Kahlo: Cartas Apasionadas, tr. by Martha Zamora

Letter to Diego Rivera, July 23rd, 1935

“I want to give you everything. This is called a sickness.”

Camille Rankine, from Possession

Rainer Maria Rilke, Book of Hours: Love Poems to God; ‘Lösch mir die Augen aus: ich kann dich sehen’, tr. Anita Barrows & Joanna Macy

“Love that incorporates, that devours the other person, that cuts the tendons of the will. Love as immolation of the self.”

Susan Sontag, from Reborn: “July, 1958”

[awakendreamersworld]

I made a Luca fanfic! Here’s chapter 1 Below The Surface

Down in the depths of the ocean there is a hidden world of sea creatures no ones ever seen in their lives, some were as big as a whale and some were as little as a mouse. There were even Leviathans, serpents of the seas, they were the real rulers of the deep, some live to protect and some live to serve themselves, megalodons also thrive down there, though some might think they're extinct, they still live and hunt for the small and weak. They're the titans of the deep, but even the ocean has its demons. The Siren, a beautiful creature who's easily mistaken for a human can easily kill you in an instant, they're tribal beings and very loyal to their families and their leader, they are the true protectors of the ocean and they say that if you hear the siren's song, you'll be put in an powerful trance unable to break free of their will and once your caught in their trance they bring you with them down below the ocean where you'll never be able to return to the surface again.

They're five tribal kingdoms, The Gallows, The Dorms, The Arctic, The Sprees and The Murines, these five kingdoms protect and serve their own tribes, their own parts of the seas. The Gallows were in the Indian parts of the ocean, anyone who enters their depths are never seen again, they were red koi fish with red hair and pierced yellow eyes they're 5'4 tall and had four arms, The Dorms are more carefree and kind hearted, though land dwellers are not allowed in their depths, they're always kind enough to welcome and help anyone and live in the Arctic depths of the ocean, their scales were gold and they were 4'5 tall and their eyes were sapphire blue and their hairs were blonde, The Sprees are the ghosts of the sea, they live in the Atlantic Ocean and they're the reason why ships go missing and why there's a graveyard of wrecked ships in the Graveyard Of Atlantic, they were the height of any other human and had dead white eyes and hair and their scales were a very see-through grey like a ghost, more than 2,000 ships have sunk there and never risen to the surface ever again, they're all trapped down there and all you see is their remains, if you ever dared to go and dive down there to see for yourself then you'll be sleeping next to them. The Murines were the most advanced species on the planet, though they hardly trust any of the other kingdoms they sometimes ask for their help, they were 6'5 tall their scales were grey like a grey mullet fish and had bright amethyst eyes and brunette hair. They're also highly trained with spears and bow and arrows, they're notorious hunters and live to serve and protect their queen of the Pacific Ocean, The Sea Emperor Leviathan, she is the most powerful sea creature in the ocean that not even a megalodon would kill her and every emperor has a protector and her name is Firtha, she is a Murine siren and protects her home from anyone and anything and everything has an enemy, for sirens, though they're strong they still have scars that warn them that it won't be so easy next time, their real enemy are sharks. Sharks are nocturnal hunters and sleep with their eyes open, they may seem not that bad but they're notorious killers especially great whites, great whites have killed up to 314 of their preys even sirens.

"Firtha!" A fellow murine siren called out, "What is it, Doria?" Firtha asked, "there's a great white down in the pillars of the great monument! I've already made sure that everyone is safe!" Doria said. Firtha grabbed her spear and her bow and arrow and headed out to kill the shark, the shark was swimming around the pillars and eating the fish in their area, Firtha grabbed her bow and arrow and aimed at the distracted shark taking a deep breathe and fired at its left eye, the arrow hitting its mark and stuck in the sharks eye causing it to bleed a lot the shark starting swimming around in pain trying to get the arrow out. Firtha then swam up to the shark with her spear and latched on to the sharks top fin, the shark was flailing around going crazy trying to get her off until she brought down her spear through its left eye through her arrow through to the other side of the shark, killing it. Tired from wrestling with the beast Firtha tried to catch her breathe, her squad was coming to her aid "Are you alright, Fitha?" Said Simon, "I'm fine, Simon. Not a scratch on me." She smirked brushing herself off. "Oh good, we thought it might've left a serious wound." Said Elma, "It's fine, after all, I am the great protector here" Firtha sad jokingly. While they were all laughing at her joke, The Sea Emperor called to her, Firtha came into the emperors domains and see what help she needed, standing face to face with the great sea emperor Firtha asked "What is it, your highness?" "My time is drawing to an end..." The Sea Emperor said, her voice was very kind and soothing, like a guardian angel, "Soon, you will be relieved of your duty and a new protector will rise up to protect our people, our home. In a few days I will pick a chosen one, they'll help protect our home." "But who is this chosen one?" Firtha asked, "That's for me to decide and for all of you to find out."

Firtha nodded and went back to her post and looked down on her city, it was bright and beautiful, the lights of the glow worms and jellyfish always brought a smile to her face, so did seeing her people at their seashell homes spending time with their families, children swimming around and playing, everything just settled down and is peaceful.... or so it was. "Firtha!" old man Craig yelled, "Hello, Craig! What seems to be the trouble?" Firtha asked while swimming up to him, "You really need to talk some sense into that child of yours! Every time she finds some new pet she thinks of it as them darn seahorses and destroys my crops!" Old Man Craig shouted, "Of course sir, I'll go talk to her right now..." Firtha said with a sigh and a small smile "Hmph!" Old Man Craig said and swam off "Aye, Maria... what did you do this time?" Firtha sighed.
