#Big Questions

[todayontumblr]

the question of our times

[pratchettquotes]

The ability to ask questions like, "Where am I and who is the 'I' that is asking?" is one of the things that distinguishes mankind from, say, cuttlefish.*

*Although of course it's not the most obvious thing and there are, in fact, some beguiling similarities, particularly the tendency to try to hide behind a big cloud of ink in difficult situations.

Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent

If I write a poem today it would be about how my heart wants to swim in warm pools of sky and how the walls breathe

your name when I am tender at three a.m. with questions big enough to fill a whole universe, like

why the most infinite things are so often tethered to the smallest words heart want you me

and how the planet-sized ache that happens when I think of us is pronounced If…

since you wrapped up 'redesigning hotd' what do your future plans hold? might we hope for some future hotd men designs? maybe video compliation of a character's timeline like for asoiaf (which are so so dope)? the public is dying to know!👀🤩

alsp hope you get lots of rest after that big undertaking! thank you so much for this wonderful series!🤗😭🥳

Awww thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! I really looked forward to your paragraph of tag theories every day. What is up next? Well I quickly made up a month of Historical Mermay and then tricked myself into making more so I could potentially release a mermaid coloring book?!

I do plan to make more content for you guys with my HoTD stuff but I need a bit of a buffer so I ask only for some patience. <3

I will say to you now that JK Rowling is a terf and has been one for many, many years. She's so very transphobic and not afraid to show it. She's done so many shitty things, so yes. She is a terf.

But what if it's fake? How do you know if things you read on the internet are true? I have tried to figure it out a lot and I think it's important to research because people keep sending me her twitter and idk because you just buy a checkmark on Twitter now? I think it's kind of impossible to know now in a way

I love when kids cartoons have westerns in them and they have to find a way around the fact that they can’t have a shoot out/guns. You get some really funny stuff like a Backyardigans episode where the western showdown is a high-stakes ping-pong game, or a Veggietales western (that is also a Bible story) where Larry the Cucumber kills a man with a dodgeball. And also whatever the hell this is

Give more cartoon characters gun-workarounds it’s so funny

Give him a gun substitute

"wisdom of the crowd" (apocryphal)

vs.

"The intelligence of that creature known as a crowd is the square root of the number of people in it." (Terry Pratchett, Jingo)

“Sooner or later everybody has to ask the big questions of themselves. Some of us ignore the truth, and some of us gut the interior of our lives and attempt to reinvent it. I am doing the latter.” -Ave Maria

“What distinguishes orthodoxy from heresy, the central river from the delta, is a commitment to mystery and paradox. Mysteries abide at the heart of every religious faith, but the Christian tradition is uniquely comfortable preaching dogmas that can seem like riddles, offering answers that swiftly lead to further questions, and confronting believers with the possibility that the truth about God passes all our understanding.”

Ross Douthat, “Bad Religion”

I was feeling lightheaded and watching a YouTube short about how a couple peeled 102 cloves of garlic for a recipe, when it actually said 1 to 2 cloves, and it got me thinking about what a safe dose of garlic is for a vampire. Like, how much garlic per lbs/kg would be safe for a vampire and how much would kill them. Also got me wondering about why they hate garlic, like does it just taste bad for them like how some people think that cilantro tastes like soap, or is it like an allergy that they can get over if they eat small portions of garlic that get bigger as they become more resistant, or is the garlic taste and smell just amplified which is why they hate it??? Vampire side of tumblr I know you're out there and I want answers.
