[thespoonisvictory]

also idc I love the citadel and all its wizard hubris I love the intersection of innovation and horror and progress and crushing others underfoot AND also clothes that magically put them on themselves and Citadel Made bouncy balls and secret societies and universities!!! and espresso and arcane discovery and and and

#worlds beyond number #yes citadel bad ALSO you cannot condemn the citadel wholeheartedly without understanding #that we are the citadel #(if you live in the 'west') #and I adore the depth of the depiction of wealth and excess but also knowledge and curiousity #the citadel is not the gatsby mansion. it is any college in the US #it is my university giving out free food and trinkets for no reason other than it is a wednesday #and there is beauty and joy in the science I study I try to understand and the resources available #AND there is abject horror in what has been crushed for millions of people to have this #and I am OBSESSED I love it as a setting in all its brutal honesty #wbn #anyway
