You know how every hunter in bloodborne is ultimately destined to an afterlife of agonizing misery in a nightmare mirror of the real world where they're destined to fight and die and degenerate for all eternity? im reading blood meridian and so far this feels exactly like the cowboy version of that
IHNMAIMS and Blood Meridian are getting popular on TikTok lately and there are already a bunch of people fundamentally misunderstanding AM and edgy boys thinking they’re “judge Holden irl”
i think the funniest parts of blood meridian is when the judge is having one of his philosophical talks (breakdowns) and then the rest of the gang is probably staring like
And they are dancing, the board floor slamming under the jackboots and the fiddlers grinning hideously over their canted pieces. Towering over them all is the judge and he is naked dancing, his small feet lively and quick and now in double-time and bowing to the ladies, huge and pale and hairless, like an enormous infant. He never sleeps, he says. He says he’ll never die. He bows to the fiddlers and sashays backward and throws back his head and laughs deep in his throat and he is a great favorite, the judge. He wafts his hat and the lunar dome of his skull passes palely under the lamps and he swings about and takes possession of one of the fiddles and he pirouettes and makes a pass, two passes, dancing and fiddling at once. His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

Did you know that the Pukeko, a bird native to New Zealand, has the same sized feet as a baby that it does as an adult? The feet are so big on the little chicks it's adorable
Just figured you would like to know! :)
my GOD
that's possibly the worst ratio of don't-worry-you'll-grow-into-it that I've ever seen on a baby animal!
