Shoutout to 30-Under-30 Media Luminary, Griffin McElroy, for making it impossible for me to open a canned drink without hearing his faint echoing voice in the distant corners of my mind going "YEEAAH GRIP IT AND RIP IT BABEYYY"

Anytime I see posts about "fire themed characters that aren't just Fierce and Angry" I feel the need to give a shoutout to my mans Olruggio. Olruggio, the witch of warmth. Olruggio of the Torch. Olruggio, creator of light. Olruggio, who invented fire that doesn't burn and still felt the need to make it safer. Olruggio, whose creations fend off the dark all around the world. Olruggio, who extracted his best friend from the cold and the damp and showed him the beauty of the surface. Olruggio, the man who will set himself on fire to keep those he loves warm. Olruggio, the sky's kindest, most radiant star.

When you want to wallow but Robin Hobb wrote "You should leave off sniffing the carcass of your old life, my brother. You may enjoy unending pain. I do not. There is no shame in walking away from bones [...] Nor is there any special wisdom in injuring oneself over and over. What is your loyalty to that pain? To abandon it will not lessen you."
