#cec #chuck e cheese #animatronics #apparently the new online show system doesn’t support studio c programming #so it’s just random movements now #this effectively kills the show element at most of the stores within the company #it sucks but this is pretty much exactly how i expected them to eliminate the animatronics #not with a bang but with a whimper #rip studio c (1998-2022) #anyways I’ve never seen supernatural

Whimper

Silent monotony

Endless days

In here you are safe

But you can hear the flames

And everyone around you

Acts like it’s fine

I’m dying

Change

They’re hunting us

Monotony

#poetry #not with a bang but with a whimper

[silverskye13]

There was no explosion on the mountaintop. The earth did not crack. The seas did not boil. The doom the dragon brought came slower, quieter. The world had not collapsed at its talons, shaken by its might, deafened by its roaring. The calamity of the dragon came, instead, like blood tracked upon the floor of a silent house. The wound didn't kill, but the smell of it sent foul things sniffing after, until you realized you were alone in a place of safety, surrounded by teeth.

When the dragon woke, they only new it because the sun set one day, and, though it rose the next, the skies were too black to see it. There was only the glow on the horizon as its fire pooled, and seeped, and rolled its steady march across the landscape.

Like blood on the floor of the world, there was no regret in the wound, only in the stains it left behind.

Eng: A Song for the End of the World (Czeslaw Milosz, translated by Anthony Milosz)

.

On the day the world ends

A bee circles a clover,

A fisherman mends a glimmering net.

Happy porpoises jump in the sea,

By the rainspout young sparrows are playing

And the snake is gold-skinned as it should always be.

.

On the day the world ends

Women walk through the fields under their umbrellas,

A drunkard grows sleepy at the edge of a lawn,

Vegetable peddlers shout in the street

And a yellow-sailed boat comes nearer the island,

The voice of a violin lasts in the air

And leads into a starry night.

.

And those who expected lightning and thunder

Are disappointed.

And those who expected signs and archangels’ trumps

Do not believe it is happening now.

As long as the sun and the moon are above,

As long as the bumblebee visits a rose,

As long as rosy infants are born

No one believes it is happening now.

.

Only a white-haired old man, who would be a prophet

Yet is not a prophet, for he’s much too busy,

Repeats while he binds his tomatoes:

There will be no other end of the world,

There will be no other end of the world.

.

Vie: Bài ca về ngày tận thế (Czeslaw Milosz, Tạ Minh Châu dịch)

Vào ngày tận thế

ong lượn vòng trên hoa sen cạn

người đánh cá vá tấm lưới chài lấp lánh

cá heo nhảy vui trên biển

chim sẻ con hút nhụy ngon lành

và rắn có da vàng, vẫn như cần có.

.

Vào ngày tận thế

phụ nữ cầm ô đi trên cánh đồng

gã say rượu nằm ngủ lăn trên rìa vạt cỏ

những người bán rau rao hàng vang khắp phố

con thuyền nhỏ buồm vàng tiến gần tới đảo

tiếng vĩ cầm ngân vang trong không gian

mở ra đêm sao bạt ngàn.

.

Những kẻ đợi chờ sấm, chớp

thành những người thất vọng.

Những kẻ chờ tín hiệu và tiếng kèn của thần tiên

không tin là đã xảy ra rồi.

Cho đến khi mặt trời và mặt trăng còn ở trên cao

Cho đến khi ong còn đến với hoa hồng

Cho đến khi trẻ con đỏ hỏn còn tiếp tục chào đời

Chẳng một ai tin chuyện đã xảy ra rồi.

.

Chỉ có cụ già tóc bạc, người có thể là nhà tiên tri

nhưng không phải vì cụ làm việc khác

tay buộc túm cà chua cụ bảo:

Sẽ không có ngày tận thế khác đâu

Sẽ không có ngày tận thế khác đâu.

Hearing Lucie hugging the Doctor and saying she loves him at the end of Relative Dimensions knowing what’s going to happen…

My Name Is No-One is such a banger + I love how they utilised their instruments to create the sound effects of the doors opening I just think that's cool!!

if NWoS is bad I'm gonna lose all faith in companies that make Blorbo and retire to a cave where I do nothing but write fanfiction and claim it's canon.

#posts made by a TPN season 2 survivor #I don't think non-Layton fans understand how much hype there is for this game #it's the first main series game in like 10 years #the first sign of Layton in like 6 years #and overall the series had gone out with a whimper instead of a bang #this is a Layton Revival and if it doesn't do well that's gonna be it for the Professa forever #<-i wrote this last night girl watch me be paranoid about things that don't matter literally at all

I think i'm not as upset about brendon hanging it up because i realized that the band that kickstarted my obsession with bandom when i was 12 just hasn't been a thing for years. I mourned the death of panic! at the disco years ago. Mostly I'm just glad that brendon has decided to stop using the panic name so he can stop riding off the talents of past members.

#i am on tumblr because of them. so i really owe a lot to this band. but i mostly just feel relief #started off with a bang and ended with a whimper #p!atd #jaime posts #.txt
