Coming back here after not being on tumblr in literally years feels like I’m walking through a house I used to live in, but moved out. Things are still where I left them, but everything has changed around me. Part of me wants to cleanup this blog and put some of my book reviews and thoughts on here, but also this is such an archive of my obsessions circa 2012-2015. Holy smokes.

I just started showing my friend Buffy the Vampire Slayer and he said “I see where you get your sass from” and I don’t think I’ve ever received as high a compliment as that

“The Dark are greedy runes. Draw them once, and they ruin you for any other magic. The Dark are jealous runes. We cannot channel Fire and Water and Earth and Wood runes any more than we can attack with the shadows on the walls. But most importantly, the Dark are seductive runes that steal into your head and make free with your thoughts when you least anticipate them. And for that, you will require watching.”

To me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all. Certainly the most popular, great painter of all time. The most beloved, his command of colour most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.
