Julian: So until now my parents were the only other people who knew I was augmented—

Deanna Troi: And my mother.

Julian: What?

Deanna: She is literally telepathic, Doctor Bashir.

thinking a lot. about how life continued after march 2020. like my life has continued to progress not as expected but more or less without catastrophe but if i mentally zoom out it’s completely impossible to wrap my head around what the world has been through and what’s been happening around me while I go about my infinitesimally small day to day life. those aerial photos of empty streets from just two years ago (!!) do a good job of reminding me though. and it is so beyond nuts that we ALL were there everyone on the planet went through this and is still going through this and the world will never ever be the same and to think there was a time before all of this when I expected to complete my college education without a single online class. the countless lives that have been ended and ruined and changed forever and we all just keep getting up in the morning. god damn you see that shit that was fucking crazy anyway

Interviewer: What difference in usage would you point out in these three languages [Russian, English, French], these three instruments?

Nabokov: Naunces. If you take framboise in French, for example, it’s a scarlet color, a very red color. In English, the word raspberry is rather dull, with perhaps a little brown or violet. A rather cold color. In Russian it’s a burst of light, malinovoe; the word has associations of brilliance, of gaiety, of ringing bells. How can you translate that?

Tbh I feel like we’d be better served by abandoning the term “redemption arc” and replacing it with “face turn”

Yes!!!

“Face turn” doesn’t imply the person is saved or redeemed, and doesn’t imply an end that you get to where redemption is all done forever.

All it talks about is which direction a character is headed.

Perfect. Yes. Good. Love it.

i have been saying this! it’s also a more fun phase.

• i say all of them but blacktop
• i say all of them but tarmac

unfortunately “tumblr is a good dating app” people are very correct

let me put it this way, you get to meet someones barely filtered internal self, learn their struggles and their desires, all before seeing their face, so when you do finally see it its inlaid wth all the beauty of their personality
