Sometimes I look at old drafts of fanfiction that I never finished. 50% of the time I'm like "this is awful" and the other half I'm like "this is amazing." I always say that I'm gonna rewrite it regardless of what it is (I never do)

The king [Edward I] does not send for his son [the future Edward II] to assault him, in either representation of the scene. The prince is brought to his father’s presence in order that the king might answer the flagrantly inappropriate request in person—and in public. In a world whose symbol-laden power structures were a network of personal relationships, public emotionality was central to the negotiation and demonstration of political interaction. The love between a lord and his vassal was not a private and personal feeling. It was a social fact, confirmed and demonstrated by quasi-ritualized public demonstration—as was the love (even more carefully performed) between princes of different states.The opposite of that love, the souring of that carefully maintained relationship, was not hatred but anger—or rather, one particular kind of anger. This anger is synonymous (not analogous) with terms that we would usually consider sociopolitical, but which are in this worldview intensely and personally emotional: that is, with war(if between opposing states),or vengeance and justice (if against an erring vassal). In fact, the outbreak of war is frequently stated in chronicles as an eruption of anger between leading individuals: ‘when he heard this he was full sore annoyed at X’,‘in that year anger arose between the King of Y and Z’, just as reconciliation is expressed as renewing or extending love or favour. Both shifts are usually accompanied by a public performance: that from anger to love with embraces and kisses and a formal loveday, that from love to anger with displays of affronted rage.

I firmly believe what ever you're obsessed with at 11/12 years old becomes a core part of who you are, regardless if you lose interest in it or not. Maybe some of you were lucky and were obsessed with warrior cats or smth, and if you're real unlucky it was probably twilight.

I'm always four parallel universes ahead of you

If Henry IV has a million fans, I am one of them. If Henry IV has a thousand fans, I am one of them. If Henry IV has a hundred fans, I am one of them. If Henry IV has ten fans, I am one of them. If Henry IV has only one fan, that is me. If Henry IV has no fans, I no longer exist.
