There is no gift for the beloved. The lover alone possesses his gift of love. The loved one is shorn, neutralized, frozen in the glare of the lover’s inward eye.
Though what a child, that sips blood even before its first suck of mother’s milk!
and that was the beginning of hope: if the world had not always been as the empire demanded, then it might not always be as the empire demanded.
All words were sorcery. If enough people believed in words, in a language or a treaty or an Antler Stone, then the words could change the whole world. Faster and further than fire.
Got permission to post this; one of the trans women who was assaulted last week by a gang of anti-trans creeps has a gofundme up to help her with medical and survival costs while she recovers from a concussion. If you're able to help, please do.

choose your character: uncle nicky!
3rd in my quest to model all the perpetua PCs... nicky took me a lot longer because i struggled achieving classic jrpg silhouette while also conveying chef but i think i got there in the end :^) #friendsatthetable

A character line up of the circus party from Realis, plus Candide. Wellaway is a clown wearing a large mushroom hat, a white mask that covers the top half of his face, a puffy white shirt, and red pants with pink ribbon piping. He is standing with his hands on his face and his mouth agape in cartoonish surprise. Candide is a little kid wearing a grey dress. She has tan skin and dark blonde hair. She is in the same pose as Wellaway. A large iguana is sitting on her shoulders. Donnie is a vague, floating shape. None of their features can be made out, but it looks like they're wearing a formal jacket with a rose in the breast pocket. Finally, Hye is a woman wearing white face paint and elaborate red robes. She's wearing a headpiece with many tiny beads draped around it. The robes have dark feathers around the shoulders, at the end of the sleeves, and along the hem.

It is a terrible thing, this kindness that human beings do not lose. Terrible, because when we are finally naked in the dark and cold, it is all we have. We who are so rich, so full of strength, we end up with that small change. We have nothing else to give.
An illustration set against a bright red background. At the bottom half of the illustration is a rabbit, mid run. It's head is pointed down and the iris of it's eye is the same red as the background. Text overlaying the image says 'If they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you.' Which is from Watership Down by Richard Adams.
