Ballade 106 by François Villon (BnF Ms Fr 25458, p. 164, trans. R. Barton Palmer)

A profound counsel, excellent,

Is exhorted in the Holy Book

That the man, in marriage,

Should not foolishly abuse his rights.

The reason? Good sense goes limp

In every man, no matter who he is.

A fool does not believe until he has proof.

And it consists, according to this teaching,

In maintaining vim and vigor.

It is better to utter no word or sound,

To endure and listen to the grumbling.

If the spouse cries out: "Help!"

Let him pretend he does not understand.

A fool does not believe until he has proof.

Stronger by far than Samson was,

In this assault he is vanquished.

Against the shield of Venus

The stoutest club is bent.

...............................

But whoever does not understand

A fool does not believe until he has proof.

O prince most wise, one reads

That the more clever man comes to grief.

The strongest swimmer goes under.

A fool does not believe until he has proof.

I'd like to know your take on the exiles in homestuck, they're such an overlooked part of homestuck. That and the firefly serenity. (Funfact, PM and serenity are the only two character in homestuck that never die. Don't quote me on that, that's from memory)

I love them all. Very underrated. There should be more appreciation to the Carapacians. And not just the Midnight Crew. Addressing Wayward Vagabond as that, not The Mayor. Aimless Renegade shouldn't have died that soon. And people seem to forget about the White Queen guiding Rose Lalonde for a small moment, was the one who entrusted PM with the ring and crown, chose her as the next ruler, and in the Alpha Session, she KO'd Jack Noir on her own. White King really has been underutilized since he was also killed too soon by Jack Noir. It surprises people that Violet Prince was originally the White King's theme. Even though it was changed at last moment for Colors and Mayhem, I wonder if there would have been a way to incorporate the White King with Eridan in some way, despite the fact that Eridan is a Dersite. The theme plays like something for a military regime, but not many people in the fandom remember Eridan's interest in that. Most remember him for having an interests in wizards. The Wanderers is also a good soundtrack. Definitely give these songs a listen if you are a fan of these Carapacians.

Plz explain then the travesty that is love and thunder

A trainwreck directed by an egotistical six-year-old in a leech of a man's body who thinks he's a screenwriter and still plays pretend with his uwu self-insert OC.

.... real talk, though, in short:

The real travesty of Love and Thunder is that Thor is already made of love and thunder, and simultaneously Jane is the love to his thunder, and the MCU, through taika wai-feck-off, decided he can be neither of those things, and have no nice things. Thor is the most tragic character in the ENTIRETY of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and yes, I do think more tragic than Wanda.

He has lost :

his entire home planet

his people

his entire family of four (no hela does not count he was not connected to her and should have been odin's sister)

before which he lost his brother (his platonic soulmate, to boot) a total of 3 times emotionally, two of those physically

he lost his ENTIRE friend group because his half-sister murdered Volstagg, Hogun and Faendral; he never reconnected with Sif

his only good mentor/parental figure (heimdal) was stabbed through the heart in front of him

he lost his dignity, his crown, his birthright (voluntarily and otherwise)

he lost his self-worth, his sense of direction (bc the writers legitimately thought his arc was about stepping down from the crown instead of making it his own and growing into it in his own way, by his own merits, at his own pace and gave it to some literally no-name side character that showed up for one movie and never respected thor in the first place to even earn his title from him smh)

and taika's idea of rectifying any of this .... is to give him some random child he doesn't know, that he doesn't care for, and manipulate him into taking her under his wing not because of the kindness and limitless love of his own heart even after shutting himself down post!endgame, but because jane asked him to as her dying wish — and then say that THAT is his happy ending.

Tell me why Thor, the longest standing of the Big Three, the king of the stars, the hero who is by all respects the embodiment of love, gets no companionship, no friends, no home, no place to belong, when Tony got a hero's send off and Steve got to be with an alt!dimension Peggy.

Ballade 105 by François Villon (BnF Ms Fr 25458, pgs. 163-164, trans. R. Barton Palmer)

I die of thirst beside the fountain.

Hot as if on fire, and my teeth chattering.

In my homeland, l'm in a far-off country.

Beside a fire I shiver, all ablaze.

Naked as a worm, dressed like a judge,

I laugh while weeping, am expectant without hope.

I find comfort in my sad despair.

I rejoice and feel no pleasure.

I'm powerful, lacking strength and might,

Nicely welcomed, rejected by everyone.

Nothing is sure for me but something uncertain.

Obscure, save that it is completely evident,

I doubt nothing but what I find proven.

I hold knowledge what is a sudden chance.

I gain everything and remain a loser.

As day begins, I say, "God give you good night!"

Lying on my back, I greatly fear falling.

I have much, yet possess nothing.

I expect an inheritance and am no man's heir,

Nicely welcomed, rejected by everyone.

I desire nothing, yet put all my energies

Into acquiring goods, but have no claim to them.

Who speaks the nicest to me annoys me most,

And who affirms the most truth, tells me the most lies.

That man's my friend who makes me understand

That a white swan is truly a black crow,

And the man who injures me does his best to help.

Falsehoods, truth -- today they're all the same to me.

I retain everything, can get my mind around nothing,

Nicely welcomed, rejected by everyone.

Merciful prince, now may it please you to know

I understand much and have no sense or knowledge.

I'm unique, yet subject to the laws that govern all.

What more do I know? What? Redeeming my pledges,

Nicely welcomed, rejected by everyone.

A Game of Thrones, Eddard II

“I’ve half a mind to leave them all behind and just keep going.”

A smile touched Ned’s lips. “I do believe you mean it.”

“I do, I do,” the king said.

“What do you say, Ned? Just you and me, two vagabond knights on the kingsroad, our swords at our sides and the gods know what in front of us, and maybe a farmer’s daughter or a tavern wench to warm our beds at night.”

“Would that we could,” Ned said, “but we have duties now, my liege…to the realm, to our children, I to my lady wife and you to your queen. We are not the boys we were.”

“You were never the boy you were,” Robert grumbled. “More’s the pity.”
