And then he realized why he was thinking like this.

It was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn't then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Terry Pratchett, Jingo

M, WIP, 9k, Wangxian

Part of the MDZS WIP Bang

Summary: What if Wei Ying was never found by Jiang Fengmian? - Wei Ying is a simple villager, farmer by day and hunter by night. One night, he finds an injured boy in the forest. Kay's comments: A super cute story where Wei Wuxian grows up as a simple farmer and encounters Lan Wangji after he got hurt on a night-hunt and then promptly nurses him back to health. I love Wangxian's relationship in this, so cute and funny and also just so sweet. Excerpt: “Lan-gongziiii~,” he whined during lunchtime when his stories drew no reaction once again. “Come on! Talk to me! What have you been doing?” To his surprise, Lan Wangji set down his chopsticks and said, “Speaking is forbidden during meals.” He promptly resumed eating again, although a slight furrow had appeared on his brow. Finally, a reaction! Wei Ying wasn’t about to let go now. “No speaking at all, gongzi? Who said that? What if the situation was life or death? If there was an axe murderer was behind me? You wouldn’t say a word, Lan-gongzi? You’d let me die?” He jutted his lips out in an exaggerated pout. Lan Wangji merely raised an eyebrow at him, one that suggested that he would be the one swinging the axe if Wei Ying kept talking. “Aiyaaa! You would! And after all we’ve been through!” Wei Ying wailed, his own food now forgotten. He wiped an imaginary tear from his eye and sobbed. “You really would! You’d let me die of boredom, Lan-gongzi! This is how you treat me after all those nights we spent together.” “I–” Lan Wangji started, but his words seemed to catch in his throat. He glared at his bowl, still half-full, and clenched his chopsticks tight enough to turn his grip white. After a moment’s pause, his grip relaxed and he breathed deeply. He spoke, “I apologize, Wei-xiansheng. I am… unused to this.”

“Good movies are always better when you watch them with someone.” - Ed Chigliak (Northern Exposure)

#if there's anything to know about ed it's that his love of films and filmmaking is a MAJOR defining aspect of his personality #you may claim to love movies but i doubt you love movies as much as ed does #and i've said it once and i'll say it again: he would kill it on letterboxd #the movies mentioned in the pic in order are:#good morning vietnam #the seventh seal #alice doesn't live here anymore #indiana jones: raiders of the lost ark #the lion of winter #ordinary people #who's afraid of virginia woolf?#taxi driver #ed chigliak #my art #and yes. yes i did draw all those vhs tape spines #i specifically looked for movies that were 1) mentioned in the show by ed or implied that ed owns #2) had a version released in the up to the early 90s (so it's conceivable he had that in his collection)#and 3) had text or images that would be visible behind his body and chair #artists on tumblr #northern exposure
