#grief is natural

[thewildnopeboat]

Nimbus, generally chilling: yeah, I have a lot of pressure since the Vex attacked the grave sites, the Shadow Cabal keep pouring out of the pyramid, and the council think I'm pushing the work on an outsider, but at least I have a cool buddy like you!

Guardian, looking up and seeing Nimbus holding back tears: I'm going to hug you.

Nimbus, confused: Huh? Why?

Guardian, using strand to suspend themselves: You just look like you need it.

#destiny 2 #destiny2 #bungie #destiny guardians #destiny nimbus #the amount they have to go through #they need a hug #they need a break #this is why we have bereavement #let them grieve #they lost their mentor and have the fate of the world on their shoulders #if the people give him lip i'll give them a bigger one (punching them in the mouth) #grief is natural

You don't need to believe that people as a whole are good or well-intentioned to be an optimist about fixing climate change.

A lot of the time, it's enough to trust in this: people hate being screwed over. And even more than that, they hate feeling screwed over.

Climate change is actively screwing over almost every single person on this planet, whether they know it or not. We just need to keep making sure that people do know that they're getting screwed over, along with all their loved ones, and who's doing it.

Spite and righteous anger will honestly do a lot of the rest.

#hope #good news #hope posting #climate change #climate optimism #life #not news #advice #me #human nature #like. obviously this is imho. but also I'm genuinely convinced that I'm right #spite and anger are powerful motivators #there are scientists who argue that anger's whole evolutionary purpose #is to keep us from being screwed over #because that's so vital to our survival #and what's more vital to our survival than a liveable planet??? #channel your anger into action #do not let anyone tell you that optimism or being an activist or being part of a healthy community means never being angry #that is so so untrue #and if you find a way to channel your anger and pain and grief to do GOOD in the world #to help people #then that will also do a lot to stop your emotions from eating you up inside #hopepunk #anger #spite #optimism #hopeposting #humanity

so the good place is widely lauded on this site for its takes on morality and capitalism, which i totally agree with

but i think it should get more recognition for the line "all humans are aware of death. so we're all a little bit sad all the time. that's just the deal. we don't get offered any better ones. and if you try and ignore your sadness, it just ends up leaking out of you anyway. i've been there, and everybody's been there. so don't fight it. in the words of a very wise bed bath and beyond employee i once knew - go ahead and cry all you want. but you're gonna have to pay for that toilet plunger."

#i dunno i've been thinking about grief lately #and i think the nature of humanity is everyone's grieving something #it might not always be as straightforward as the death of a loved one - sometimes it is #but sometimes you're grieving a life you never got to live #the person you used to be #hell an old toy you just realised you lost years ago and are never going to get back #we're all just a little bit sad all the time #and i think looking at the world like that makes it a lot more friendly place #because everyone is someone who needs a bit of comfort - or just someone to say hey its okay to be sad and angry and confused #and when you're finally ready to let whatever you're grieving go the world will be a happier place #and you'll find a new thing to grieve because there's always something to be a little bit sad about #but the world keeps getting better for every one you get through and every friend who helps you through it #and sometimes you just need to throw a dumb joke in there at the end #that's what it means to be human #the good place #tgp

(those interests being history historiography and grief) #have fun etc. tag your results #that's always great #quiz #uquiz #pentiment #medieval #mine #sorry for being absent for a bit. holidays kind of suck #sorry abbie i couldnt fit the saw bathroom in thisone. i couldn't think of a way to do it naturally #i listened to SAVED! and SINNER GET READY the entire time i was writing this so yeah there's a ref. sue me

// Fortesa Latifi, The Truth About Grief //

#web weaving #we need to talk more about how Odin took away Thor's natural born Asgardian abilities on a whim #leaving him in a mortal body without the strength he's had his whole life #with no one he knew in a world he was unfamiliar with #like sure it worked out conveniently and he gained friends instantly but #the fact that Mjolnir was his weapon and he could *no longer lift it* #not really knowing of the enchantment put on it but also... that was THOR'S weapon #it was thrown in the backwater to face the same disgrace Thor got #do you wonder if Thor thought this meant his banishment was permanent #even before Loki visited him #do you think going from a coronation to being told he didn't deserve it dealt him enough damage for him to reconsider everything #do you think being out from the shade of Odin's favouritism for mere few days caused him grief #even though he wasn't sure quite what he did wrong #even though he was following the footsteps of his father #do you think it bothers Thor once he's worthy again that the enchantment is still on Mjolnir #that even though he's regained his status and strength it's at Odin's behest and can be revoked again if he wants

Grief and disappointment give rise to anger, anger to envy, envy to malice, and malice to grief again, till the whole circle be completed.

I stumbled across a man talking about having survived the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami when he was a small boy, and he mentioned in passing an entire village that had been swept away - that a foreign government rebuilt the buildings, but that the village has remained empty, as people fear unsettled spirits of the dead are still there.

I don't blame them. I think I wouldn't be able to move in to one of those buildings either, for the same reason.

There are still emptied-out towns in Japan since the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in 2011. Even when people are told they can go back to rebuilt homes, few do. Retaking the towns happens slowly, uneasily. People live alongside a wrenching tear in the universe where their loved ones should be, surrounded by spaces where half-second glimpses of those long gone can happen at any time. With every breath, every blink.

I keep thinking about buildings as grave markers, empty rooms with ghosts living within them but no breath ever moving the air. Vines and leaves winding up walls and flowers blooming on pathways where there should have been footsteps. The sounds of birds singing in buildings that once held a crush and chatter of crowds.

Buildings as cairns, as tombs without bodies.

Buildings as empty memorials to a life that abruptly ended even for the survivors of the day itself. What was rebuilt was something else entirely. Can you live inside a wooden ghost? Can you sleep in a bed within its lungs? Can you wake up each morning and look up at bones?

Buildings as places where a teacup left on a saucer for twenty years seems still like it might suddenly rise to cool lips. Buildings where chairs line up before an arcade, dust-covered and decrepit but still brightly-colored, ready to welcome in players who are never coming. Buildings with the eyes of people. Buildings that watch, and wait, for the living to come and remember the dead.

Buildings as places where your fingers are always just brushing those of someone who should still be here. The weight of their presence in those empty rooms. The way you can almost hear their voice calling for you from just out of sight.

Buildings as memories of a future that didn't happen.

Buildings as reminders of a universe where this loss hadn't happened yet, where this confluence of horrifying moments hadn't yet come together. Buildings as grave markers, as memorials, as defiance against nature that indifferently destroyed us and never took notice of the loss. Buildings as our insistence on remembering that there was a loss, and that grief lives and breathes even if those we lost no longer do.

Buildings as our cries that you should still be here.

Buildings as thousands of voices whispering back, I am here. I will always be here. And so will a part of you.

Not to defend Lu Guang's hypocrisy, but.

Can you imagine losing your best friend and deciding not to save them, knowing that you have the power to? And not only making this decision once, but day after day for the rest of your life? Being aware that you could go back at any given moment, and still persistently choosing not to? Can you imagine ever moving on? Living with yourself? Going about your day with the knowledge that not only did you let them die, but you're also continuing to let them die at all times by not doing anything? Can you imagine not going insane?

#I think maybe that would be possible if this was a one time decision that you'd have to make on the spot. #maybe the rational thought of endangering everyone else in the world by altering the timeline could be enough to keep you from doing it #but when you're a natural time traveler... #at some point there'd be a moment. when you'd be laying in your bed at night thinking about this person #remembering. looking at their picture. and the grief and the longing would get the best of you #and no sense of moral responsibility would be able to stop you #link click #moje #time travel is such an interesting concept because it kinda destroys the meaning of things like death #a normal person has no choice but to accept death. but could a time traveler ever do the same?

ok well that one's going straight on the favorites list for sure. absolute masterpiece. one of the most genuinely unsettling horror movies I've ever seen, and I've seen a LOT. It's all the slow descent into madness that the Shining movie wanted to be, the acting never missed a fucking beat (this is the guy's FIRST LEAD ROLE and goddamn did he command every second he was on screen), played super well on the 70s talk show on-air/off-air setting, then throw in some Cronenberg-style practical effects and I could not look away

#late night with the devil #this is one of those where you just know everyone working on the film has just this incredible appreciation for what they do #i mean everything down to the little bit of camera fuzz and the fact that he refers to the lights as par cans. every detail #and i mean it's already super clear that david dastmalchian is a big horror guy but he SHINES in this. really in his element #i mean it's the natural talk show host charisma. the slowly building grief and anxiety as it goes on. and then when it all falls apart #just. goddamn. definitely a new fave. my other favorite horror films are ex machina and the fly for reference #and this is all the unsettling atmosphere of ex machina plus all the grotesque visceral effects of the fly

“After Eddie went missing, I didn’t want anyone to have to suffer through that anymore. I wanted to find answers.”

#critical role #candela obscura #arlo black #ygifs #help my weird girly got doomed by the narrative and i don't want to watch her die #no but watching her is like reading a book so naturally I need to be utterly obnoxious about her #in ep1 when she Thought of eddie and Knew to offer blood to a rune. like she just Left that detail out when she spoke of him INSIGHT CHEC #saying oldfaire relics interested Eddie and yet She also knows of the lure of it??? INSIGHT CHEC #asking for something to combat shadow beasts and then DOESN'T want it on her person?? INSIGHT CH #no but like is it GRIEF that's motivating her or GUILT girl spinning in my head im chewing #them being like we'll find eddie! and she's like maybe :).

Made a new yard pot since the ivy outside was blooming. Will probably grab the coffin planter thats currently under this one and do something new with it. I was keeping pennywort in it but one of the bad babies ate it all (animals are generally forbidden from my work desk, but they sneak on sometimes… that’s why all the toxic plants are high display only)… so it’s just sitting there empty.

Yard pots are fun tho, and look quite nice.

#photos #plants #pu pics #witchy vibes #skull #the skull is fake lol #i do have a real bird skull but keeping it in a planter would damage it #the clover is cute too #maybe if i don’t do pennywort in the coffin planter i could just do moss and clover #anyway good morning look at my cute plants again #our back lawn is a mostly natural lawn so it always looks so nice during the growing seasons #front lawn is mostly just grass but there's a good amount of clover dandelions and ivy there as well #i'd love a full natural lawn and luckily we have no hoa to give us grief for the nearly-there lawn we do have
