Quotes I've heard somewhere that remaind me of some aftg characters.

Kevin Day:

Then he said: don't you know? I am trying to make you great.

And I said: I do not want to be great, I want to be loved.

Neil Josten:

I don't want to just survive anymore, mom.

It hurts it hurts it hurts, mom.

Renee Walker:

And the earth looked at me and said: wasn't that fun?

And I replied: I'm sorry if I hurt anyone

Jean Monroe:

Am I supposed to be grateful to have survived this?

Andrew Minyard:

I'm not a whole person and I don't think I ever will be. Parts of me died in the house I grew up in and I visit them in dreams.

Seth Gordon:

Promise that you will sing about me.

Aaron Minyard:

I have searched for my mother's love in all the corners of the world.

Nicky Hemmick:

This is not a joke. I mouth

love me. love me

Neil Josten:

My mother did not mean to hate me, she didn't even know she hated me, and yet, I was hated. And I carried that hate with me through life with more pride than it perhaps deserved. A bruise of honor.

Nicky Hemmick:

I need a father, I need a mother, I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God but the sky is empty.

Dan Wilds:

In another universe, my window is open and I'm lying on my floor. I am 12 years old and nothing bad has ever happened to me

Andrew Minyard:

The truth is that no child can save their mother.

Andrew Minyard:

Now I know why I was drawn to you. We have the same darkness inside.

Neil Josten:

The word father rotted in my mouth.

Neil Josten:

I am not my mother's daughter.

I was not born from her womb.

I was born from her rage.

Andrew Minyard:

love is insane, you fell like you're always subtly asking "do you still love me even though I'm flawed?" and the answer just keeps being yes.

Neil Josten:

Tell me every terrible thing you ever did, and let me love you anyway.

memory, death and life as komerex zha, the perpetual game; klingon culture as depicted in the final reflection, by john m. ford

#star trek #web weaving #klingons #im normal about this. i swear. #please read the final reflection. 99 cents on kindle right now. i read it in one sitting very fun very entertaining very insightful #and spocks in it. if you even care #is that last quote not soo sarek coded. 'im gonna destroy you in this game son. every time until you learn not to lose so badly #but you will still lose. <3' #house gensa forever house rustazh foreverrr #klingonaase my darling i love you you're sooo latin coded #i really liked the singing and the idea of like gestures vaguely house gensa being three hundred kids with no formal houses or lines #to belong to. <- and so you will all be together. yayy new family! #i also liked the acknowledgment of like. other cultures existing on klinzhai (qo'nos) vulcans and orions living with klingons and such #this book really had it all im not done posting. theres more songs and looks at their food; daily life; clothing and how they decorate #houses. more examples of klingonaase lol of course cuss words and such. they also talk about battle language which if i'm not mistaken is #like clipped tlhIngan? #but they call it battle language and translate it for the reader. fun! #and of course the klingons end up on earth so theres insights on how they feel about coffee and human food. apparently the air on earth is #very thin and dry to them; every scene where they talk about klingon comfort standards they mention making it dark and humid and hot. #red lights and such! for inside #and they say the thin air on earth makes it hard to hear for klingons! i thought that was very cool #nobody: #me: they like salt water baths and dark ale and they wear silk and they eat pastries with butter. if you even care. #they mention human chair designs being uncomfortable for klingon anatomy too; there was a description i remember of house khemara #having cushions on the ground around a fireplace instead of chairs #its such a pretty description too; they have high ceilings and wooden beams along the roof and and sky lights for an indoor garden #iron railings for the staircases. mwah i love this book i really recommend it #theres something (gestures) here that reminds me very strongly of worf but i cant put my finger on it to be honest with you. not even like #the komerex zha specifically either like the vibes of the whole book.....

my partner, for reasons I cannot fathom, resided largely on twitter on purpose. he didn't enjoy it most of the time; it stressed him out, the doomscrolling and all. but it was where he was, before he deleted upon certain recent events, and he was very stubborn about staying there.

and here's the thing, even though he isn't on twitter anymore, i can tell. I can tell he came from twitter, because I will sometimes turn my screen - phone or computer - to show him a tumblr post with more than one part to it. you know, a post with a response.

and without fail, every single time

his eyes flick down to read the bottom post first

#needsmoresark #twitter #personal #stories about ked's life #and every time I think #look at this spectacular Tell #this is how it feels to be looking at an immortal creature #that you KNOW is an immortal creature #despite them looking perfectly mundane #this is what it must feel like to recognize a tell like that #except instead of recognizing a fae creature or small god #it's my personal dumbass giving away he's from a hellsite far worse than mine #where quoted tweets have the original content below the reply instead of above it where it belongs

Top 5 Francis Crozier lines from the show

Ooooh Dear. From the show! Top five Francis Crozier lines from the show.

Top Five Quotes I will have to say are:

"How fare the Raft of the Medusa?" - I knew the story and the painting. Knowing that Francis Crozier probably saw the piece done by Théodore Géricault himself before he went on this voyage is uncanny to me. Crozier being word-savvy and sassy with morbid themes turned to lighthearted jokes in cruel and unforgiving scenarios is a unique and fascinating trait he possesses.

"I feel like Christ. But with more nails." - Oh love. Oh love. Mo chuisle.

"There is nowhere I would rather be than here." - It hurt me. There was authenticity to his voice and yet a hollow despair to it. He's lying and yet he is telling the truth. He laments being dry land. He desires the steady cradle of a ship and all her gentle rocking. And yet he loves deeply. He needs someone that can be at sea with him.

"Get on your knees right now." -

"There'll be no melodramas here. Only live men... and dead men..." - This quote was incredibly pertinent to me. For he is referencing, in his own mind, the last time that he was in circumstances where hubristic choices were made. He was with Sir James Clark Ross and he learned. He lived. And he learned. Above all else he knows what happens when you choose vainglory over practicality and how you can and will not walk out of your hubris alive.

Honourable Mentions:

You and the others will live."

"I'll leave not any one of you alone either."

"Sir John can have it." (his head for mutiny) "After I build us a road out of here."

#francis crozier #the terror #these were very difficult to choose #I have books and transcripts and tv series knowledge all thrown into one catalogue in my memory palace #and I did not bother to sort nor separate which quotes belonged where! #these were selected based around how they were spoken and in what contexts

#clexa #clexaedit #yea im tagging those #i spent way too much time rotating the words on those screenshots lmao #believe it or not the way they are rotated and what direction the uh quotes leaning in and so on all have a meaning #cause im unwell #like on the last space pic the 'i belong' is in the exact middle of it cause um well meeting of the sky and earth on the horizon? #i said theres meaning i didnt say its coherent #the first carry me home leans down cause clarke needs to fall down to the ground to find hers <3 #then on the ground those two pics its straight line in the middle cause again. horizon #the last one is both just how the entire song feels like it loops on itself constantly #plus im thinking clarke was circling earth in the ark and theres no end to a circle and also! its them in a little bubble #coherence left the chat sorry i cant words right now #also i liked how those space parts are very dark and so are those first parts with lexa like a familiarity #(and cause they understand each other's darkest experiences) #but then the last one is a brand new color palette just engulfed in the gold #again target audience me myself and i #i wanted to make a fanvid out of this but my laptop hates me #anyways the 'to where i belong' needed to be on the clarke drawing pics cause im presently unwell abt that #she covers her cell in the ark in drawings of earth!!!!!! and the first thing she draws on earth!!!!!! is lexa #things i should have processed in 2016 but didn't etc

Now what is history? It is the centuries of systematic explorations of the riddle of death, with a view to overcoming death. That's why people discover mathematical infinity and electromagnetic waves, that's why they write symphonies. Now, you can't advance in this direction without a certain faith. You can't make such discoveries without spiritual equipment. And the basic elements of this equipment are in the Gospels. What are they? To begin with, love of one's neighbor, which is the supreme form of vital energy. Once it fills the heart of man it has to overflow and spend itself. And then the two basic ideals of modern man—without them he is unthinkable—the idea of free personality and the idea of life as sacrifice. Mind you, all this is still extraordinarily new. There was no history in this sense among the ancients. They had blood and beastliness and cruelty and pockmarked Caligulas who do not suspect how untalented every enslaver is. They had the boastful dead eternity of bronze monuments and marble columns. It was not until after the coming of Christ that time and man could breathe freely. It was not until after Him that men began to live toward the future. Man does not die in a ditch like a dog, but at home in history, while the work toward the conquest of death is being completed; he dies sharing in this work.

Been wanting to do a 2nd rewatch of Evangelion. But I'm reluctant to in the same way I'm reluctant to watch Bojack Horseman again. It's not just the mule-kick of generational trauma but the one-two punch of people getting away with proverbial murder. The lack of closure. I know it gets better in the end, but it still hurts.

#all your base are belong to kaworu #also the quote about 'no such thing as good damage' is right and it's sobering #if you suffered you suffered and there's no glory from suffering #also my wounds kind of reopened from one of my last jobs where i had a verbally abusive bullying boss #i'm not over it and i don't feel as if i can feel like i'm still not over it #ughgh i feel gross it's probably just the doubt talking again #abuse mention

TIL about Elizabeth "Bessie" Coleman, a badass aviation pioneer who was the first Black and Native American woman to obtain a pilot's licence. Not sure if the Americans of Tumblr already know about her, but as a Brit I unfortunately did not until now, so I wanted to share her story here! (Image IDs in alt text.)

Born in Texas on January 26, 1892, Bessie was the tenth of thirteen children in a family of sharecroppers. From the age of six, she attended a small, segregated school, where she excelled as a student and eventually won a scholarship to the Missionary Baptist Church School aged 12. When she turned 18, she moved to Langston, Oklahoma to study at the Oklahoma Colored Agricultural and Normal University, but had to drop out after one semester due to financial difficulties and returned to work at the acorn fields back home.

When she was 24, Bessie moved to Chicago, Illinois and worked as a manicurist in a barber shop, where she discovered her passion for aviation after hearing the stories of some of the clients, who had been pilots during World War One. She then decided to become a pilot herself, taking on a second job to save up for flight school. However, no flight schools in the US would admit Black or women students, so another of the barber shop's clients, Robert Abbott - a Black philanthropist and publisher of the Chicago Defender newspaper - suggested that she move to France and learn to fly there. He and Jesse Binga, another Black philanthropist and banker, gave her the financial support to do this, so in November 1920, Bessie set off for France to begin her training.

On June 15, 1921, Bessie Coleman was awarded an international pilot's licence by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, becoming both the first Black woman and the first American to do so. Following this, she returned to the US, but found it difficult to make a living as a pilot, as commercial flight did not yet exist - her only option was to become a stunt (aerobatic) pilot. Once again, the US's racism and misogyny prevented her from receiving stunt training there, so in 1922 she went back to France, and by September that year was back home again for her first stunt flight. On September 3, Labor Day, she became the first Black woman to stage a public flight in the US, flying at a show sponsored by the Chicago Defender and held in honour of the veterans of the all-Black 369th Infantry Regiment of WWI.

Bessie soon became a media sensation, earning herself the nickname "Queen Bess" and performing at air shows across the US and Europe in a Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" biplane (example pictured above). She refused to fly at any shows that did not permit Black people to attend, and went on speaking tours at schools and churches to encourage fellow Black aspiring aviators to take to the skies. Her dream was to open a flight school to train Black pilots, and she tirelessly raised money for this with her shows.

Sadly, on April 30, 1926, while flying with her mechanic William D. Wills, Bessie's plane unexpectedly went out of control and dove into the ground, killing both of them. An investigation revealed that this had been caused by a wrench that had been accidentally left in the plane and had jammed its controls. It was a devastating loss, and her funeral, which was held in Chicago and led by Ida B. Wells, was attended by around 10,000 people. In 1929, the Bessie Coleman Aero Club was founded to continue her work promoting Black participation in aviation, and to this day there are several scholarships in her name aimed at high school students interested in careers in aviation.

"I knew we had no aviators, so I thought it my duty to risk my life to learn." - Bessie Coleman

Fly high, Queen Bess, blue skies forever! 🛩💙
