“Yes, I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”

And now my heart is sore.'

THE WILD SWANS AT COOLE

The trees are in their autumn beauty, The woodland paths are dry, Under the October twilight the water Mirrors a still sky; Upon the brimming water among the stones Are nine-and-fifty swans.

The nineteenth autumn has come upon me Since I first made my count; I saw, before I had well finished, All suddenly mount And scatter wheeling in great broken rings Upon their clamorous wings.

I have looked upon those brilliant creatures, And now my heart is sore. All's changed since I, hearing at twilight, The first time on this shore, The bell-beat of their wings above my head, Trod with a lighter tread.

Unwearied still, lover by lover, They paddle in the cold Companionable streams or climb the air; Their hearts have not grown old; Passion or conquest, wander where they will, Attend upon them still.

But now they drift on the still water, Mysterious, beautiful; Among what rushes will they build, By what lake's edge or pool Delight men's eyes when I awake some day To find they have flown away?

me reading another mcit fic: they dont even have precog chicken

#listen when you emerge into a universe that has just had time travel enabled as an option you are Automatically engaged in precog chicken #rule one of regular thinker chicken is not to bluff. rule one of precog chicken is you absolutely cannot bluff #if you arent greeted shortly by a future version of yourself who pulled off the insanely risky gambit you were fully intending to act upon #then you have failed step one. not a good look and not good for your potential future paths from here on out #the insanely risky gambit btw is outsething seth by swanning up to gery & asking if hes ever heard of the tragedy of darth plageus the wise #then yknow. normal longform time loop stuff. going crazy a little and maybe becoming a god #the you who freshly emerged into the chaos of the breached world and the you who is coming back for their maybe final run now both exist in #the same world at the same time. feel free to immediately develop a deep and concerning bond between you.#you are pro clonefucking btw right. like. if you arent here to get weird with your time clone theres the door #anyway thats the basic dai precog chicken time loop formula for of you want a superpowered deranged version of yourself running around #this seems like the most obvious straightfoward formula possible to me that its always mildly baffling when i only rarely encounter #anything like it in the wild like. i promise its lowhanging fruit. why are none of yall plucking it. love yourselves dude. embrace the cool #and uninhibited version of yourself that lives in your brain. it will be fine

I don’t have any new inspiration and it scares me, people always talk about losing their creative vision and I thought that was just a myth…but what if it’s true

Animal of the Day!

Swan Goose (Anser cygnoides)

(Photo by Craig Brelsford)

Conservation Status- Vulnerable

Habitat- Mongolia; Northern China; Russia

Size (Weight/Length)- 3 kg; 90 cm

Diet- Grasses; Roots; Leaves; Aquatic plants

Cool Facts- Despite being a goose through-and-through, the swan goose is named for its elegant neck. Males are typically heavier than females but both have equal responsibility for raising a family. Divorce rates are extremely low for swan geese and they typically mate for life, although they can remarry if their mate passes away. They live close to freshwater lakes and streams but they leave the water to graze on surrounding grass. Swan geese have been domesticated over the years for their large eggs, resulting in a slow decline of the wild population. Their temperament is typically pretty vicious, especially when goslings are present. They won’t hesitate to attack anything from raccoons to foxes to humans.

Rating- 12/10 (A 1.8 meter long wingspan.)
