:incoherent rat sounds:

the Raconteur gave me his stories it started with just a walk with my dog, but she ran loose into the woods. i would have never met Him and His people any other way. He told me His stories. It gave me the book. I’ve been trying to translate it the best i could. and recreate It’s cave paintings to the best of my abilities. He seems to be from this place he called the Land of Relics. what a strange creature.

ok awesome, tumblr decided to just send my post into the void so here we go again:

elli came free with simon, meaning when he first woke up, he threw up a clump of flesh and… ta-daaaa! small elli materialized on our plane of existence.

simon is like the dad who didn’t want a cat, he kept his distance from her while grace figured out wether they could keep her around safely or had to throw her out into space (which he reaaaally didn’t wanna have to do, i mean, look at her cute lil legs!! she’s such a good, wiggly, little girl!!). once they were sure she wasn’t dangerous simon warmed up to her pretty quickly.

I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”
