im having feelings about the uffington white horse again

so essentially there’s this cool horse drawn into the hills in england made out of chalk and it’s like 3,000 years old.

people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.

we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.

the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?

yes yes. this horse is a family heirloom it’s the belonging of a friend. it was given to us with the request treat him well, please, we’re really very fond of him and we did. we don’t know why our friends were so fond of him but does it matter? he’s ours now. we love him just as much. we love him with all their love.

i LOVE galarian weezing

the ghost of Arthur Conan Doyle, watching the villain he conjured up specifically to forever rid himself from the Sherlock Holmes franchise team up with Frankenstein’s monster in a bikini to win a drag race: “I am in hell and it is worse than I ever could have imagined”

the ghost of Mary Shelley, sitting in the racetrack grandstands and chugging a glass of wine: “Keep going Fran sweetie you’re doing amazing!” *thumbs up*

Boys who are sex-repulsed/don’t enjoy sex/are too uncomfortable to have sex - you’re doing an amazing job at coping in a society that associates your maleness with having strong sexual desires. You are valid, you are loveable, you are not ‘weird’ for not fitting into the stereotype of men wanting sex all time.

… I really needed to hear that thank you

So… Agartha huh.

whoever ends up dating lyria when she’s a little older is going to have it so fucking hard with several dozen governments and crime syndicates alike breathing down their neck to make sure they take good care of her

lyria, age sixteen: stop being so overbearing!! I’m basically a grown-up I can handle myself!! you’re not even my mom!!

katalina, on the verge of tears: …….yes you’re right, I wanted to protect you but you deserve to have your own life too, I’m sorry. I’ll try to keep my distance but please come to me if anything bothers you okay?

lyria: yes of course I’m sorry for shouting at you I love you katalina

grandjeet giving instructions to jamil in the room next door: lyria is her own person and can make her own choices in life so it’s not our place to interfere with her relationship. that being said i want you to shadow this lowlife 24/7 and if they EVER make lyria cry you make sure that day will be their last do you understand??

jamil: forgive my impudence, master, but won’t that only make lyria cry more?

grandjeet: shit you’re right….. okay they’re allowed to survive but only barely. 

jamil: understood. [fades into the shadows]

Impossible decision

I know nothing about FF14, but I do know a bit about MMOs, so I find there’s something fucking hilarious that every single reaction to the Shadowbringers skill demonstration, everyone loses their goddamn minds when they see that Paladin has a charge/dive into the enemy move.

Please don’t tell me one of your tank classes has been deprived of a charge skill for over nine years
