tagged by @sheherazade​ 2 write down some bits of media that live in my head rent-free. from memory, and i have a shitty memory but here fuckin goes!
Though you murder the world, transmogrify life into I and it, strong searching roots will crack your cave and rain will cleanse it: The world will burn green, sperm build again. (Beowulf’s monologue at the end of Grendel. that whole monologue is. in my heart bro)
You have bitten into my heart, and laid your kingdom there.  All ownership requires ruling. (Mabel podcast, i wish i could remember more bc like. that whole podcast gets tangled in my neurons whenever i listen 2 any of it but it slips away as greenthings do)
Changelings are all heart. (just. the whole changeling section of The Boy Who Lost Fairyland, it cuts so deep and it just Gets What Its Like..... curse my terrible memorie for exact quotes :pensive:)
Turn selfishness into a weapon.  Make other dreams and hopes yours.  My people, my land.  Keep away the wolf, and watch the sheep.  I have a DUTY. (The Wee Free Men, anyway discworld is a big part of my life’s philosophy which both explains whats so great about me and my mental problems :heart:)
mayb ill reblog this with. the full versions of everything later bc... if i can use Google and The Books I Have there are probably a few more that like. live in my ribs.
