#the rhythm and language of Juan José Saer; characters worthy of Dumas and Sfar; dialogue like Chandler...

[northwest-by-a-train]

One of my most deeply-held beliefs on culture is that somewhere out there there is a 27yo with a crinkled non-binary flag in the corner of their room, more mugs and dirty plates in their sink than bricks in the tower of Babel, less than 70 of god's own dollars in their bank account to finish the month and five dying plants on the windowsill, crusty stuff in the corner of their eyes, who has crafted a world of aching beauty Tolkien and Homer could only ever dream of, a vision that honours all that is noble and raw in the heart of Man, a vindication of existence and a balm to suffering, all for the benefit of a half-dozen harem pants wearers on a server named "Bingus' Grotto"

#To be clear this a love letter to my DM the elusive and recluse ''N'' #who from the remote Galapagos Islands has been for the past three years guiding us in an adventure that mixes #the paintings of david caspar friedrich; the writings of jacques abeille; the visions of darwin; the zany adventures of oda #the rhythm and language of Juan José Saer; characters worthy of Dumas and Sfar; dialogue like Chandler... #and a million other influences converging on what I must admit #is the purest form of love I have experienced from someone who is neither a lover nor family #love you ''N''
