Man is not the sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have.
Jean-Paul Sartre, "On The Sound and the Fury: Time in the Work of Faulkner", Situations I

ok well this blew my mind
This is also true with filmmakers. Western filmmakers pan their cameras mostly left to right and Iranian filmmakers do right to left.

If haunting is anything, perhaps that’s what it is; time in the wrong place.

When you're twenty-three you think it's too late to do anything. Not until your forties do you realise that you still have time—not to do everything, perhaps, but at least everything that matters.
Eva Baltasar, Permafrost

longing for a home that doesn't exist ࿏
giovanni's room, james baldwin / the girl who chased the moon, sarah addison allen / @electraheart2012 / mercy, mercy, me, john murillo [art: @heavensghost] / my tears ricochet, taylor swift / the graveyard book, neil gaiman / biome, ryan galloway / there is a light that never goes out, the smiths / don't throw out my legos, AJR / mad, bad, & dangerous to know, samira ahmed
image descriptions below the cut
1. Blue text on a white background reads, "you don't have a home until you leave it and then, when you have left it, you never can go back."
2. Black text with yellow highlight on a white background reads, "I'm homesick all the time... I just don't know where home is."
3. Black text on a white background reads, "being alive is like: you want to go home. you don't know where home is. you want to go home. you don't know where home is. you want to go home. you haven't known for a long time. you want to go home but you don't know where you'd go. you want to go home you want to go home you want to go home"
4. A grid of six images. Clockwise starting from the top left, the images show: a hand holding three white flowers on a blue background; dark green leaves; a green bush with white flowers; a blue sky with clouds; a house with an empty porch; the side of a building and adjacent sidewalk. Individual words in various colours and fonts are pasted over the images. The words read, "Maybe memory is all the home you get"
5. Black text with grey highlight on a white background reads, "And I can go anywhere I want / Anywhere I want, just not home"
6. Black text on a white background reads, "bod said, “if i change my mind can i come back here?” and then he answered his own question. “if i come back, it will be a place, but it won’t be home any longer.”"
7. Light coloured text on a dark green background reads, "and… that’s what i fear. that nothing will ever make me feel like i'm safe again. that once you leave home, you never get it back."
8. An image of a white car driving on a road, facing the camera. In the background, there are green trees along the horizon, and a dark, cloudy sky. Lines of black text on a purple background is pasted onto the image. This text reads, "Driving in your car / I never never want to go home / Because I haven't got one anymore"
9. Black text on a white background reads, "Oh no, I'll come by when I'm grown / It won't be the same though / I can't go even go home, go home"

Hello Mr. Gaiman! my brain still can't believe season two is real and that they're back and we still haven't had a chance to see our favorite angel and devil properly
I was wondering if you couldn't ask Michael and David to recreate this photo so my brain understands that this is real and not some crazy dream, you still have the bonus of seeing the whole fandom freaking out
It's funny...
I will tell you a secret. I really don't like that photo. Mostly I don't like it because it's not Crowley and Aziraphale. It's Michael Sheen and David Tennant, just after they'd come out of the costume trailer, on their way down to the location in St James' Park to shoot their first scene. They hadn't yet played the characters. Not once.
The publicity department had been concerned that there would be people around who might take photos, so they had arranged for this one photo to be taken first, so that the first image people saw would at least be in focus. The set photographer took it, on my phone as I remember, and I tweeted it. It became the image. And I look at it and think, it's not Crowley and Aziraphale. Not yet...
