At the end of time, a moment will come when just one man remains. Then the moment will pass. Man will be gone. There will be nothing to show that we were ever here… but stardust. Sunshine (2007) dir. Danny Boyle
Have you ever seen a volcano?
I have never seen a volcano
I have seen an extinct volcano
I have seen a dormant volcano
I have seen an active volcano
I have seen more than one of these
I’m not sure
SHOGUN (2024) Opening Title Sequence
🇯🇵🗾🏯🎍⛩️🪭🎎👺👹🗻🌸
Coaches sent our videos/photos from the weekend. It's so hard for me to keep my legs straight when finning, my knees are bent in all of my photos askfjdhash
This was the second time I've been able to swim with a sea turtle and it never gets any less magical. They're a little difficult to spot in the second photo but they're there. XD
Thinking of joining another fun dive in late April. And when I say, "thinking of," I really mean it's still too early to send in a reservation.
Had a blast taking an intro to recreational freediving class over the weekend!
I was relieved to see that I wasn't the weakest swimmer in the rookie class but I had a bitch of a time trying to equalise my ears underwater. I thought maybe it was because my septum ring was getting in the way so I took it out but I still, for the life of me, can't get my ears to pop underwater.
Our coaches took some photos on Day 2 and I'm excited to see them but also a little nervous that my form is going to be awful in all of them.
Coming into this, I thought my main challenges were going to be my endurance and breath hold (as a recovering chain smoker, yanno?). Turns out it's my weak ass eardrums.
Guess I have no choice but to join more fun dives so I can practice. What a tragedy!
I hope the AI scrapers like pornbots cause there’s no way those are opting out
I know I made it but I've laughed at this every single fucking time someone's reblogged it and I've clicked the notification.
He shall be fine,

Too many rude puns around here, it's giving the post a corsair.

Unrelatedly I am unamused that my phone autocorrects King Charles II to King Charles III.]

i understand the appeal of publishing "fic with the serial numbers filed off" as original work but i also feel like. what makes something a good fic is at odds with what makes something a good original story.
a good fic is in conversation with a source text, it may give a character an interesting role, it may reinterpret or subvert the rules established in the canon universe, whatever. but like. its transformative by nature. whereas original stories - good ones, anyway - have their own internal, non-referrential sense of logic and rules. it can be in conversation with the genre writ large but it has to have internal substance that can stand alone. which fic inherently cant do.
It's been 916 days since my hit of nicotine and I'm still waiting for the cigarette craving to stop.

idk where to post art anymore (where it isn't gonna be scraped for AI, tumblr's already on thin fucking ice) but a WIP from the weekend!
Could never get a good likeness of Nick Galitzine as Henry, but somehow got one of him as George lol. I hate how this looks in its intended size/composition so here's it is super zoomed in. XD
me: hey so how far does your 'all-seeing' sight extend?

me: oh... so you saw that... :(
