what draws you back to your country what draws you back to your land when i was a kid i told myself if i ever left iran i'd never go back 2 years into living in the UK i started looking at news on iran again 10 years in and i visited it for the first time again and today i heard an iranian mother talk in farsi to her child on the train to london the way my mother used to and i wanted to cry i wanted to ask her whether they're still cutting the mountaintops whether the lakes are still drying today i showed the person i was with pictures of waterfalls and palaces and forests and snow-white north something odd pulls me back with increasing force i can't ignore it ever again
god I just can't stop thinking about the noldor encountering running freshwater with so much iron it looks like blood while crossing the helcaraxe.
Maybe it cuts across their path, one last silent urge to turn back from ulmo and aule
Maybe it runs alongside their path, at least part of the time, the only unfrozen freshwater on the whole of the ice. Sometimes disappearing for a while, or slipping under an obstacle that they had to go miles out of their way around, but returning before desperation could set in.
I'm often on this forum where people chat about religious fundamentalism and we have a good time but recently they were talking about the phrase "God fearing" and somebody said "I don't understand how you could love God and be afraid of him I am not afraid of things I love"
The primary school that Ed and his friends attended. It's a barrack-style blue sky school with no school buildings, perhaps attacked and destroyed during the Ishval Civil War.
I am actually so incredibly ill about the implications of Sunny attaching themself to this idea that Lenays corpse is a mermaid... is2g they have fully convinced themself their mothers floating dead body is alive and speaks to them...
And Tubbo has no idea where to begin with that because he was the one who told them she was a mermaid to begin with. Because again how do you tell a child that their mothers corpse floats in the river you live by. That shes not a mermaid and never has been what Sunny thinks/refers to their mother is actually her corpse and I :((
Sunny 'talks' with Lenay the same way a child 'talks' with their stuffed animal,,, Sunny is so so young and it BREAKS MY HEARTTT
One day, if the body disappears Sunny will be hysterical asking where her ma is because shes ALWAYS in the river, she is ALWAYS in that spot by the dock. imagine she goes to her pa and just "PA! MAS GONE. WHAT IF THE EVIL MAN TOOK HER? WE NEED TO SAVE HER!" What's Tubbo gonna do then? Try to explain the truth to her? Go along on an adventure with no end because the evil man isn't real??
When I graduated art school, I noticed most ‘successful’ working artists were 35 and older, so I gave myself the breathing room to not need to be amazing immediately. Today I turn 35. I have several published books, covers and other amazing things I’ve made. I’m just getting started!
The growth has been steady, and I’m really glad I took the time to “find myself”. (Turns out comics ARE a viable career path….)
