upon replaying fire emblem 7 for the first time in like fifteen years i am equal parts horrified and amused that two of the most powerful lines of dialogue in my creative arsenal, which I had for the last decade thought were original, are in fact lifted verbatim from said game

in no particular order “come! break your weapons against me!” and “be of good cheer! in dying, you shall all be spared the calamity that is to come"

I don’t think i will ever appropriate this image, but I do feel it should be widely seen and appreciated, like a gallery exhibit.

SOMETHING TO NOT FUCKING FORGET AND I DON’T THINK IT’S TOO EARLY TO REMIND ANYONE: He was at the time the most dangerously incompetent oaf to ever win U.S. presidency in anyone’s memory, he did so despite losing the popular vote with the American people, he was a laughingstock and riddled with scandal from day one, he made other countries hate us, he caused cost of living to skyrocket, his vice president was an openly homophobic warmongering maniac, he harmed environmental policy, set back health care and education, violated human rights, divided the nation, fed into racism and xenophobia and everybody you can think of from Hollywood celebrities to world leaders stood united against him. His name was George W. Bush, and after four years straight of all the above, he won another four year term by over 11 million more votes than the first one.

Don’t get complacent, basically.
