Aw Fuck This Ones Hard

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

ppl talk about the difficulty of writing characters smarter than yourself, but the real challenge is writing a character who is funnier than you are

have you ever been so in love with a fictional character so fucking much you don’t know what to do, so you just spend 37 hours looking every single last detail about that character and cry.

there's probably this universe where things could've gone differently, yes, but you're not in that universe, and that's just something you'll have to live with

you could try to make things different, if you can, but if not, the only thing you can really do is just keep moving forward. day by day, things will get better

it's not the end of the world for you. keep going

On Friendship.

these tags that someone left on my nether post. these tags.

Who are we, the player, to say that the nether is unfit for life? Who are we to look into the roiling fire and infinite redness, to name it hell? Who do we think we are? It wasn't meant for us. We got here by passage of magic, to a world we weren't built to live in, weren't created to survive.

We look upon the creatures we see and call them vile. We gaze across the land and call it dangerous. Everything, everywhere, can hurt us, so by nature, the nether must be evil... right?

Before you came, the striders carry their children on their backs. The wither skeleton stand guard of their own fortresses. The ghast waft about their own sky. But they know you are different. They know you are Wrong, and your Wrongness leads you to tear what they know apart, and when they fight it's only fit that you see them as evil.

The nether is hell. But it is only hell for us.

[You may not sleep now, there are monsters nearby.]

i adore being confronted with the staggering breadth of what individual people can get obsessed with. there's nothing better than having That One Mutual with an advanced degree in ancient greek tragedy who writes minecraft youtube fanfiction to remind you that anyone can love anything

the magnus archives will leave you going "there was never really any hope, but at least we had each other. i don't care if it's all a part of some bigger plan, if we were doomed from the start, all that matters to me is that we walked this hopeless path together." and malevolent will leave you going "there will always be hope. there will be pain, there will be loss, but there will be hope. you have to keep going. it's all you have. you have to keep going. this too shall pass."

Heres a google drive folder filled with art book pdfs, if anyone has some others that you'd like me to add to it thats missing, please let me know and send me the link
