God has abandoned us for so long we replaced him with ourselves.

Aabria: Tula, it was duty that brought you back. Your responsibility to others. And maybe there's a part of you that knows and maybe resents that duty didn't bring Geoffrey back to. Do you cast cure wounds? Or do you give Lukas the rest you did not reserve for yourself?
Tula: when I was walking back, it was the day that Geoffrey - that I found him dead. It was the day my mother asked me where I had been and why hadn't I stopped it. And I was on my way to tell my children that Geoffrey was gone. And there was a feeling in my heart that each heartbeat was too much to bear. And so i started to wish that I'd have a little bit of rest before the next heartbeat. And they got farther and farther apart until I fell asleep. And when I came back it was a sense of obligation to my family that I think I have always assumed was duty or obligation. But I think that in this moment, watching my sister kill three humans and a Stoat Monster in mere seconds -
Rashawn: ✌️😉
Tula: - that maybe power's not all bad. Seeing my children embrace the curiosity and adventurousness of their father, and having them find the information that saved us. My mother telling me to embrace change, and my sister's husband being right about harnasing the blue. Obligation and duty is what I said kept me here. It's what I thought. Geoffrey died putting his head up above the snow. So the humans could see his eyes and his nose. Or at least, that's what I chose to blame on him. But really he was just unlucky, and something's you just get unlucky in this world. And I think that when I look at it and think about seeing, and looking for things, curiosity. It's not obligation. It's believing that you can't put your head up and look for a day when you won't feel so tired anymore. Lukas deserves to find that day. He deserves to adventure for it and be curious about where it might be. And I deserve to find that day too. And I'm going cast Cure Wounds.

Kehinde Wiley's "HAVANA"
Kehinde Wiley, renowned for his large-scale oil portraits that reinterpret European painting traditions by prominently featuring Black and Brown individuals, once again challenges conventional narratives in his latest collection titled HAVANA, currently showcased at Sean Kelly in New York. Wiley's unique style typically involves vibrant backgrounds and positing his subjects in grand, colorful patterns. He drew inspiration from two trips to Cuba, in 2015 and 2022, exploring the vibrant, festive spirit present in many global celebrations like Mardi Gras.
In this collection, Wiley captures the diverse, creative personalities of his subjects adorned in bright clothing and accessories. He articulates that despite their differing experiences, a common thread that binds them is the economic impact of America on Cuba – a relationship steeped in fascination, suspicion, intrigue, and cultural significance. His work also pays homage to influential artists such as Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, and Alexander Calder, who examined similar themes during the early 20th century. Through depicting acrobats, dancers, and musicians, Wiley explores Cuba's political history, economic struggles, and the relentless quest for artistic liberty, using the spectacle of circuses and carnivals as a platform for celebration, disruption, and self-expression.

This is the murmur of the land
This is the sound of love's marching band
And how they hold you like a gun
And how I sing you like a song I heard when I was young
And buried for a night like this
—"The Wisp Sings, The Winter Aid"

I know that I'm going to wait and wait, and you probably won't come. I understand. But I'll be here.

Reading the KOTOR comics and it's quite poignant how Malak is this nice guy who helps out the heroes and has an unrequited crush on Jarael given that in the games he's this raging, broken monster of a Sith Lord who destroys planets by orbital bombardment. I can't help but wonder if maybe Jarael rejecting him (relatively nicely to be fair) was one of the things that propelled him towards the dark side. I guess the sad fact is Malak made his own choices and lost his life as a result. I still enjoyed seeing him as a good guy though.

The night is an ocean, the stars are its fleet
They sail to the sun and reel in defeat
They fade to nothing
They fade to nothing, nothing at all.
