“What was archaeology to him? It was the opposite of killing things. It was trying to will life back into stuff that had been forgotten and buried for thousands or millions of years. It was not about shards and pieces of bone or treasure; it was about kneeling down in the elements, paying very close attention, and trying to locate a spark of the human life that had once touched that spot there.”
— Marilyn Johnson, Lives in Ruins: Archaeologists and the Seductive Lure of Human Rubble
#I feel like I’ve just been introduced to a major character in a Wes Anderson movie
murderbot is really like "thru the power of all of the tv i have watched and my robotic components which include a lot of weapons, I can handle any situation"
“is this character good or bad” “is this ship unproblematic or not” “is this arc deserving of redemption or not” girl…
i am about to create an au SO self indulgent. the target audience is 1 person and that person is me
Listen. I get that he was in the wrong for “turning those cows inside out” and “eating the entire solar system” but John Gaius was so real for having apocalyptic levels of rage towards trillionaires. He’s really just like us. Rip John Gaius you would have loved killing the entire human race to make Elon Musk face consequences of his actions 💕
kudos’ing a fic is not enough i have to take the author out on a date
Ok new game. What's the thing you're a fan of that you're the most pretentious about. NOT the most pretentious thing you're a fan of, I mean the thing that makes *you* act like one of those "oh yeah? Name five of their albums" people. There is a difference
sad reality of the fanfic-to-published work economy is that the weirdest people are willing to do it. that's why there's now hundreds of shitty no plot cishet hate-to-love enemies-to-lovers books that are ex reylo fanfic. and it's not even good. that's because the people who wrote book-quality steve/bucky and kirk/spock fic are too normal to think to themselves "i should get this porn published". they're too busy working in local government offices
HATE when there's an objectively cooler word for what you want to say but you can't use it because it's "archaic" or "obsolete" 🙄 Okay well my best friends from the 1600s say it sounds fine.
firm believe that not everything happens for a reason, sometimes things are just cruel. and they shouldn’t have happened and it’s not supposed to be a lesson because we never deserved such thing.
