you CANNOT read too much old timey fiction because I was playing Raft with the lads this morning and without a THOUGHT said we could sail over to another island "if the wind would consent to blow" & let me tell you. This did not pass by unremarked.

Fitz being a relatable crashout king

[mwydyn]

The "he loves me!" Scene is so so so fucked up. First of all the fact the Fool didn't actually believe fitz loved him before that moment and then he Saw that Fitz loved him for real and fitz was so appalled. Second of all how it echoes fitz's own belief that nobody truly loves him, which gets revisited in FF and he realizes how deeply he loves and is loved back by the fool. One of the few moments in fitz life where u know he is 100% convinced of the fool's love for him. And then all those years later of doubting that love. Which is similar to the years that the Fool was away in bingtown when he doubted fitz's love. And then in the end when bee calls out the Fool for doubting that he is fitz's Beloved. It's all about seeing the love that's in front of you. Should I die

no but seriously I still get chills thinking about turning off my headlamp in the cave and The Hand That I Did Not Actually See, and it’s been twelve years since it happened

it’s such an unreal experience

like

you turn off your light in a cave and wave your hand in front of your face

and

you can see this shadowy thing moving in the black space where your hand is

it looks like the same shadowy thing you would see in your room at night if you waved your hand in front of your face, it’s there and vaguely hand-shaped, and your brain recognizes it as your hand because your brain is aware of where your hand is and what it is doing

But You Are Not Seeing Anything

Inside a cave, there is No Light. No matter how far your pupils spread, there is no light for them to draw in, no light to put an image on your retina.

But your brain just Fucking Assumes that because it knows where your hand is and what it is doing, clearly it can see it.

So it creates a shadowy thing for your eyes to be seeing.

Brain is like “there’s a hand there”

Eyes are like “yup sure thing brain I can totally see it”

Brain is like “nice”

but there is no hand, you cannot see the hand, you are seeing a literal actual hallucination in the cave because your brain thinks it knows best

Caves are awesome, but also terrifying. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
