what do you know of war?

The fact that Rose says "my Pearl" to Pearl... A lot of people wonder, "oh, she belonged to Rose". No one calls their Pearl "my Pearl", people only say that to their superiors. So there's actually a lot more going on in that scene.

This is an extremely local news piece, but I thought it was interesting enough to share on Tumblr anyway.

There's a village called Kvidinge in the south of Sweden. Probably the most notable thing to happen there was that in 1810, crown prince Carl August fell off his horse there and died, from unknown reasons, possibly a stroke. In 1826, a monument was raised in his honour.

It looked like this:

Until last week, when it was struck by lightning. Now it looks like this:

In conclusion:

Lightning is pretty powerful.

Having a large pillar on an open field was maybe not the best idea.

I'm really grateful for the invention of lightning rods.

Anyway this disability pride month I would like to shoutout disabled folks whose creativity has suffered because of their condition. I’m talking people with hand tremors and pain that stop them from drawing, knitting, and playing instruments. People whose thinking has become so disorganized that nothing they write makes sense to other people. People with chronic pain who can no longer dance. People so over medicated in a fruitless attempt to maintain stability that the wells of their imagination have run dry.

I see you and I love you. You are more than your creative output. You are not a shell of what you used to be. You are a whole, complete person, regardless of what your creativity has been, is now, or will be in the future.

Romancing Barret Week - Day 1: Western AU

I mean... why not?

[Image Description: Digital art of Barret and Zangan on chocobo-back. Barret wears a brown flannel shirt with the sleeve folded up on the right side, blue jeans, and a cowboy hat. Zangan wears a brown vest over a red shirt, with a beige hat hanging against his back by the strings. They are riding in opposite directions, leaning in close for a kiss as they pass. /end ID]
