i think i’m so captivated by vash and nai’s story because it’s kind of my worst nightmare.
like, this idea that someone you were once inseparable from can so suddenly become unrecognizable to you, that they can move on and — even worse — no longer recognize you… it haunts me. change is an inevitable thing but it’s easy to miss when you’re changing alongside someone in similar ways; it’s the distance that makes it so scary. i fear that one day i won’t remember my brother or my sister or my best friend as they are; i fear that i’ll search for something in them that has long since left. i fear that they might do the same to me.
what’s more harrowing is the fact that when the twins realize they’ve both changed, it’s like they’ve already died. they’re already mourning each other even when they’re still right there, right next to each other. i hope no one ever has to mourn me like that. i hope every change is a new life to be celebrated. i fear for what a funeral must look like for a living soul.
netizens are desensitising gruesome things that are taking place in Palestine.
even the internet’s reaction to graphic things such as - pictures of injured children, civilians stuck under rubble, dead bodies of families in their destroyed homes etc. is beyond underwhelming.
[id: it’s a drawing of Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker pre Geonosis. Obi Wan—who is depicted as an Asian man with pale skin and black hair that is styled in his signature mullet—is the main focus of the drawing as Anakin’s—who is depicted as Black with brown skin and shoulder length locs—back is facing the viewer and his form is blurred. Though Obi Wan is the focus, he is gazing fondly at Anakin; he looks at him as if he had hung the stars in the sky. /end id]
genuinely one of the saddest parts of this new era of the internet is how hard it is to rick roll someone now. with people's attention spans shortening so much, they wouldn't even get through the first few bait seconds before clicking off the video. like i saw a comment that ended with "btw i made all of this up" and the replies kept treating it so seriously because none of them finished the entire 4 sentence comment. and We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I (do I) A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
