i should probably go touch grass

the thing is, piranesi found the Great and Secret Knowledge. arne-sayles says that the Knowledge is what humanity lost over time to "progress" (which he imagines as the ability fly or to control the minds of others), but what was really lost is the appreciation of the natural beauty of the world, a devotion and loving kindness to others (including the dead, animals and your enemies) and respect for and reliance on the natural world. we lost that in our modern world due in part to ambition and the relentless pursuit of "progress" no matter what the cost. which is precisely why the Other cant access the Great and Secret Knowledge - because he is so focused on finding it he would take a man slave and barely spend any time in it. you can only have the Great and Secret Knowledge if you fully appreciate the House. you have to be its child. the Beauty of the House is immeasurable and its Kindness is infinite

My favorite part about Piranesi (the book) is that it's honestly told from the wrong perspective. The main character should be Raphael, the maverick cop who overcomes public doubt to solve a cold case and take down a cult. But Susanna Clarke was like hmmm actually what if we watched the missing guy talk to birds for 300 pages as the plot takes place offstage. and it was fire

whatever you do don’t think about nemik screaming climb at cassian while they were escaping through the eye and k2so screaming climb at cassian while sealing the door so cassian and jyn could escape

cassian watering his plants before leaving to begin his final mission ahaha i’m totally fine 🙂

"rebellions are built on hope" coming from a random ghorman bellhop, who cassian met twice is really the most andor/rogue one thing ever. because he is SO random. they all are. every rebel. every member of rogue one. they are just random, ordinary people, who were willing and brave enough to give up everything for even a chance at freedom. and that is so important

Also love the fact that "Rebellions are built on hope" was not something that Cassian came up with. It was something that followed him. Something that he heard and believed in so much so that he passed it on to Jyn. Cassian, the man who had every reason to lose hope on the rebellion lived on to serve the rebellion in countless ways because he still had hope. "Rebellions are built on hope" is not just a dialogue. It's a fact. It's the truth. And it is a perfect reminder for Cassian when everything is going sideways in Rogue One. And it's a reminder for everyone within the rebellion when Jyn reminds them that they must have hope, they must still fight even if the enemy is a death star, a literal planet killer. This one line may have literally saved the rebellion.

imagine your neighborhood had a Notorious Van because the art airbrushed on it isnt like a cool lightning wizard or unicorn or whatever, but instead a bunch of dicks. everyone knows the van with the penises. and the person who owns and drives it is this lesbian who knooows her cars the talk of the town and loves it. and you know Of her but now, at this random house party, you get introduced to her for the first time and ur like ohhhh THATS the dick van dyke

FUCK you

the past three weeks in a row, partner has gone to chipotle and been served by the same employee who, in bold defiance of the testimony of his own eyes and ears, ardently refuses to believe carnitas exist

- the employee is the lead in a kdrama romance about a pampered, clueless chaebol heir who is sent by his father to work in the company’s restaurants for a year in order to prove he’s ready to take over as CEO. he’s dumb as rocks but they can’t fire him or even correct him that harshly due to the power gradient. partner is just a minor reoccurring character, and the interaction is kept the same from week to week to highlight the development of the relationship between the employee and his love interest with the cool earrings (even if the restaurant is literally a fully-branded Chipotle, that’s somehow still not enough product placement for me to believe this is a real kdrama)

masturbation is evil not for any puritan anti-fun reason but because it has permanently claimed so many verbs
