"It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women. Amy was learning this distinction through much tribulation, for mistaking enthusiasm for inspiration, she attempted every branch of art with youthful audacity." -- L.M. Alcott, Little Women
Sometimes you spend 100 hours replaying a beloved character from a beloved game and end up spending another 25 or so ish hours making a character sheet so self indulgent ft. My beloved Shep who I put through the wringer the first time around in 2017 but hopefully gave an easier time on our second run.
The absolute irony and hypocrisy of Columbia protesters telling Jews to 'go back to Europe' when 1) in living memory Europe was profoundly unsafe for the Jews because 6 million of them were murdered in the Holocaust and their communities were destroyed (not to mention all the antisemitism that came before and after; they were never welcomed there or considered European) and 2) a significant portion of the US population are descendants of European settler colonists. I mean... You first. If you truly believe it is a viable solution to fix all the problems of settler colonialism, you should 'go back to Europe'. But you never say that about yourselves. Interesting. Funny how that works.

Every outburst is Donald wanting to protect his family. He loves you so much, the thought of anything bad happening to you INFURIATES HIM!"
