Eternal Flame Falls sounds like the coolest concept for a fantasy book. A path you follow down into a ravine until you find an ever-burning flame inside of a waterfall? That’s fuckin metal! But it’s not in a fantasy book it’s like an hour away from my house I can literally go see it any time! I remember it like once a month and lose my shit over it every time

… to be unseen against one’s will is to be powerless.
To be denied a reflection and to be locked out of a self.
— Jenny Xie, from “Visual Orders,” published in Kenyon Review Online

A woman’s hands
Fragment of a painted mummy shroud, Roman Egypt, late 2nd–3rd century A.D.
This fragment once belonged to a portrait of a woman painted in tempera on a linen shroud that was wrapped around her body before burial. All that remains is a view of her hands, which are ornamented with jewels, including a ring on every finger of her left hand. These rings find parallels in actual objects from this period and offer a poignant reminder that early rings often survive because their owners were sent into the next world with the jewelry they cherished in life. The pinky finger of the left hand wears a key ring, a type first developed in Roman antiquity.
In the Metropolitan Museum of Art (X.390)

“i don’t get hannibal lecter” it’s about being the worst person in the world and yet someone still loves you despite it and it’s about convincing yourself you’re fine living your life alone and never truly connecting with anyone until someone comes along and you realize you could never live without them now and it’s about caring about someone so deeply that all you want now is for them to truly see you and it’s about how your devotion is so crushing and deep that you’d go to lengths of even self-destruction just to keep them around so you can keep loving them. “but he’s a cannibal” lol yeah
