Maybe this time the Great Rationalist Tumblr Exodus will stick.

Hi, everyone. I haven't been active on tumblr in a while, but maybe with a non-hellsite place I'll rediscover social blogging.

Some highlights from my old tumblr under the cut.

---

Fiction, fan- and otherwise:

• the sons of Fëanor as @dril tweets
• the sons of Fëanor as Harry Potter books
• disney princesses reimagined as the foreboding sense that Something is coming
• a pealed arda
• the hair tradition
• weirdtopia star trek
• rational atla (and a short followup clarification)

Politics and social justice:

• seize control of the means of production of culture
• bookmurder
• schrödinger on the highway

Darkness:

• blue and yellow morality
• Wicked Girls Saving Ourselves; Luna and Omelas; LaVeyan Satanism and Lilith
• monoculture is not a healthy diet (fear the dark / but embrace the fear / terror is a religious experience)
• don't box me in
• the space of your personal night

Spirituality, religion, and magic:

• conceptual mythology
• spiritual curiosity
• divine love (through friendship and ponies)
• the hole is still there

Miscellaneous:

• fanfiction be like
• english translations of foreign-language poetry be like
• bad design

>There are two Trees in the Garden, the figs of Knowledge and the apples of Life. Humans chose Knowledge; angels chose Life. If any were to eat of both, they would become as gods.

I was not aware of that! (I lost interest in the show because I felt like the only reason the main character existed was because ~obviously~ you have to have a male main character so the show can be ~relatable~, and from an intradiegetic perspective he was just pointless dead weight.)

(This isn't a spoiler re: which show, because this description isn't specific to just one show. This is a type.)
