Voices from History Are Whispering to Us, Still

To Hold Steady and Seek the Wisdom They Once Prayed For As I begin to read and reflect on the birth of our nation, I find myself drawn to The Debate on the Constitution, edited by Bernard Bailyn. In this remarkable collection, voices from the founding era come alive through letters, speeches, and passionate exchanges over the very principles that would shape America’s future. My journey through…

Someone else wonders what might be thinking these three as they observe Rook while Emmrich is going through the lich process, because in my mind it goes:

-Lich 1: Is that young Volkarin’s lover?

-Lich 2: it seems that way...

-Lich 3: they are pretty...

-Lich 1: my lover left me when I told them I was to become a lich :(

-Lich 2: this one seems pretty on board with the whole lich thing...

-Lich 3: where did Volkarin found this weirdo? I want one too :(

-Lich 1: we can ask...if he survives, of course...

-Lich 2: Lucky bastard...

-Lich 3: boom shakalaka

sometimes a family is a teenage girl with psychic powers, her loser bf that keeps getting his junk stolen, a girl who thinks she’s the main character (she’s not), a badass GILF, an evil spirit whose consciousness is stuck in a lucky cat figurine, a himbo that’s too pure for this world, and the evil spirit inside of him that wants to kill all humans

If Shang Qinghua also wrote TGCF

Hua Cheng: So if you made this world and everyone in it...

Hua Cheng: That means you made dianxia into the most perfect and ideal being

Shang Qinghua: Actually, that's Mobei-Jun

Hua Cheng: Incorrect

Shang Qinghua: You can't correct me, I'm literally your go-

Hua Cheng: Absolutely incorrect!

for reference:

2023 — separate folklore/evermore eras, no ttpd era, includes: the archer, tis the damn season (or no body no crime), tolerate it, long live, the 1, american dynasty

2024 — rearranged setlist with combined folklore/evermore eras, above songs cut, some changes to costumes/interludes etc, more likely to get mashup surprise songs, added ttpd era (including: but daddy I love him, so high school, who's afraid, down bad, fortnight, smallest man, with a broken heart)

I remember seeing some people talk about what were the last two afghan jews back when there were still two in the country and how almost... silly and comical it was that they still couldn't get along with each other but like... Imagine being the only two people of a minority group in your entire country because everyone else ran away, were intimidated into fleeing, or were killed. Maybe I'm a killjoy, but I really never found it funny to think of them having petty disputes because, like, obviously people in high-stress situations are going to be more prone to argument and disliking each other. Obviously when your sacred texts are stolen, when your community is snatched away, when you aren't sure if you'll be taken prisoner for the last time and never return... Obviously you're not going to be primed to interact with others pleasantly.

When you look up afghan jews, you'll find this.
