i was tagged by the incredible @transtian , thank you so much !!

rule: list 3-5 snippets of literature/media that live in your head rent-free to the point where you have them memorized; write them down from memory, no cheating allowed!

i tag @m34ns @sporadicauthor @bengiyo @morksuns @yuhaosturtle @be-kind-and-peaceful @shenanigansuniverse @italiangirlwithanenglishheart ( obviously you don’t need to do this if you don’t want to !! i hope i didn’t forget anyone <3 )

“i balanced all , brought all to mind / the years to come seemed waste of breath . / a waste of breath the years behind , / in balance with this life - this death” - this is actually a quote from a poem , something about an airman i think ? but i personally know it as a quote that simon monroe from in the flesh wanted on his grave . i’m depressed , idk what to tell you .

the entirety of “сними с меня усталость , матерь смерть” by boris chichibabin . this is my favorite poem , so it is very hard to choose one specific quote , but i think i would go with “я так устал . мне сроду было трудно , / что всем другим привычно и легко” - “i’m so fatigued . and things that others do with ease , / i’ve always failed at since my life’s miserable emergence” . that snippet in english is actually from my translation of the poem , which you can check out, if you want .

“this dream must end , the world must know : we all depend on the beast below“ from that one doctor who episode . i have seen this episode maybe 5 years ago ? and that poem just stuck to me . i have been trying to understand why it makes me feel SO MUCH this whole time , and i still can’t . but it does . it means something . i just haven’t figured out what yet .

“those who love much , do much and accomplish much , and everything that is done with love is done well” - vincent van gogh . anyone who knows me well knows that vincent is literally the ground i stand upon . he means so much to me that i can not even describe it , but i think this quote shows what kind of man he was very well and therefore shows why i love him so much .

“sky above , voice within” from skyrim . if vincent van gogh is the ground i stand upon , then skyrim is a roof over my head , and it has been for the past eight years . since i was 11 , it was there for me , helping me go through a lot of stuff , and ultimately i realized how much i see myself in the main character because i am trans non-binary . and this quote resonates with me a lot because of that . stick around if you wanna read my trans nerd ramblings lkgffdglfdkgdk .

so the main character in skyrim has a body of a human , an elf , an orc , a cat-like or a lizard-like person ( depending on the player’s choice ) . but they have the soul of a dragon . so obviously their physical body doesn’t line up with a dragon , but the rest of them does . and the way that manifests is through the character being able to “shout” . these “shouts” are special powers that dragons have - they say some words in their language , and they can breathe fire , stop time , befriend animals , and do a whole number of other things using their voice . this is something that the main character can also do , because they have the soul of a dragon . something else that is very crucial to dragons , though , is their ability to fly . dragons live in the sky , that’s where they feel right , feel natural . the main character doesn’t have a body of a dragon , though . therefore , they don’t have wings . and therefore they can’t fly , can’t be in the sky . something that feels crucial to their soul they can’t do , because their body doesn’t line up with the way that their soul is . you see where i’m going with this , i’m sure .

and so “sky above , voice within” is this double-edged sword . on the one hand , it is a reminder that the sky is and always will be above the main character . they will never be able to reach it , to be where a dragon are supposed to be . on the other hand , however , they do have that voice within . that voice that proves - they are a dragon , even if they don’t look like one .

so yeah , you can imagine why my 11 year old self that was three years away from even beginning to realize they are trans got obsessed with this concept and this entire game ( the obsession is still here btw , i literally played today ksdglsdglgs ) .

#thank u so much for tagging me nico this was A LOT of fun #archer speaks #shut up archer
