The coyote, it seems, cannot speak English. He speaks many Indian languages fluently - for he is fluent beyond all other four-footed creatures of the Western Hemisphere. He also speaks Mexican-Spanish; pure Castilian, not at all, and only now and then a word of what some call the American language. The English-American speakers have never taught him any language but that of lead, steel, and strychnine.

i love asura who are more bark than bite. waxing poetic about the nuances of their death ray’s mechanical engineering until it gets snagged out of their hand, and then it’s all “please don’t kill me for the crime of being small 🥺”

It’s all “Earth Wind and Fire” this and “Do you remember” that

But we all know what today is really about

ON THE TWENTY FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER

IN AN EARLY YEAR OF A DECADE NOT TOO LONG BEFORE OUR OWN

THE HUMAN RACE SUDDENLY ENCOUNTERED A DEADLY THREAT TO ITS VERY EXISTENCE

the strange cool and sad thing about art is that most of the time there’s a want of an exchange and understanding. I am showing you this thing I made and you will understand me. in my experience it never works like that; every person will have a different meaning and interpretation of our work.

This is cool because personal interpretation is cool. but also there is an impossible void between the feelings and yearnings of the artist and the audience. An invisible call to be seen that will be ignored forever. The intrinsic horror of the unexplained, the un-belabored. This is, itself, art. An underbelly maybe. Can you hear me?

Thinking about how Trahearne spent 25 years alone in Orr. Thinking about how people avoided him because they knew he was doomed from the beginning. How he collaborated with the Orders but never joined one, how he was only close with other outcasts but didn’t see them often either, how he thought his life’s purpose was a fool’s quest so he let the world shut him out because no one else should have to shoulder that burden, the sheer impossibility of it. How he’d rather die trying than abandon Orr, but also how terrified he was of failure. Of letting his mother his younger siblings the world down.

Thinking about how he only succeeded when he let someone in. How the Commander looked into the Dream, saw the utter ruin of Orr, and took part of that burden willingly. How we said, through our actions, “You’re not alone, I’m right here. We’ll do this together.”

And how suddenly nothing was impossible.

you genuinely don’t have to increase graphics in games anymore. I don’t have a spaceship to run this on. My previous laptop blew up trying to run animal jam. I was more than happy with Skyrim graphics and portal 2 looks breathtaking to me. I just want to be able to play your game. I don’t want to see their pores and uncannily delineated teeth. One time fallout 4 crashed so hard it basically uninstalled itself from my computer. Ffxiv completely fried my laptops motherboard and I just kept playing ffxiv anyway. For where else would I go? Who else could I love but you
