The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all.

The Sickness Unto Death, Søren Kierkegaard

I’ve been thinking about the way, when you walk / down a crowded aisle, people pull in their legs / to let you by. Or how strangers still say “bless you” / when someone sneezes, a leftover / from the Bubonic plague. “Don’t die,” we are saying. / And sometimes, when you spill lemons / from your grocery bag, someone else will help you/ pick them up. Mostly, we don’t want to harm each other. / We want to be handed our cup of coffee hot, / and to say thank you to the person handing it. To smile / at them and for them to smile back. For the waitress / to call us honey when she sets down the bowl of clam chowder, / and for the driver in the red pick-up truck to let us pass. / We have so little of each other, now. So far / from tribe and fire. Only these brief moments of exchange. / What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, these / fleeting temples we make together when we say, “Here, / have my seat,” “Go ahead — you first,” “I like your hat.”

[text ID: The longing to touch/be touched. I feel gratitude when I touch someone—as well as affection etc. The person has allowed me proof that I have a body—and that there are bodies in the world.]

i wish i could stop entering social situations under the presumption that everyone already is annoyed by my presence.. i know i have the capacity for warmth and connection but the second i enter a scenario with other people my mind tries to convince me everyone hates me regardless of how nice the interaction seems to be going… screaming

Shoe studies by Julia Zhuravleva

Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans, Michael Pangrazio, Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie ! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.

There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves ! 

Some of the following pieces were made by other artists 2:

You know what is hot??

A passion for knowlege and learning

When Franz Kafka said You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love, and Richard Jackson said It was a mistake to keep this single knife in my heart so long, but it is my knife, and my heart, too.

Self improvement is the most powerful magic of all.

NADEREH ABDELAHYEVA in The Silence (dir. Mohsen Makhmalbaf, 1998, Iran, Tajikistan, France)

“Makhmalbaf has said that this scene was inspired by a poem of Forugh Farrokhzad (the popular female poet who died in 1967). Eric Egan has located this poem in which there is a movement from ‘the girl who coloured her cheeks with geranium petals’ to ‘a lonely woman.’ However, it seems that Makhmalbaf remains with the young girl who decorates herself, and who is still in the garden, enjoying paradise. She is not yet ‘a lonely woman’, rather she is enjoying the moment and celebrating life…” [Lloyd Ridgeon, “Listening for an ‘Authentic’ Iran: Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s The Silence/Sokut]

First time making LGBTQ+ Lock Screens :)

Please Like+Reblog if using them, Thankyouu! 

EDIT: OKAAY so I really didn’t expect this to get so many notes lmao, but I am really thankful of those who love these lock screens :)

for the people that think I excluded lesbians, please know that I did not. I am a lesbian myself, but in this I only used ‘Gay’, and I also meant gay girls with this. please don’t think I am excluding people, I just decided to make ‘only 6′ for now. so if you have any requests for other lock screens I should make, tell me in the comments :D

the way that this is the purest friendship trope

lesbian + pure boy™️ friendships are it

The half of it just took half of my heart

okay, so who's going to take one for the team and write the whole thing in aster's point of view, involving her journey (?) in finding out that the person sending her letters is actually ellie before church scene, her denial bc comphet, and gay awakening, and also, idk if it's implied or i'm reading too much from the movie, her feelings for ellie prior to the events on the film

Soooooo....is someone going to write fanfiction about Ellie returning to Squahamish to reunite with Aster to fulfill every viewer's fantasy orrr....?
