Me and who

(I haven't watched the original movie yet, but I found this at a shop today and couldn't pass it up)

The cover of the manga adaptation of "Your Name", original story by Makoto Shinkai and art by Ranmaru Kotone. A teenage boy and girl stand beside each other against the backdrop of a colorful sky.

But in case you missed it, Fr Dowling's statement takes the time to make it explicit: "Father, forgive the ones who do not know what they are doing. Have mercy on the souls of those who know exactly what they're doing."

Was the late afternoon sweet tea a "bad idea" that will "keep me from sleeping?" Who can say,

A full bookshelf is a sign that I'm comfortable in my space, in the same way that a captive marmot might only nest when its stress levels are low enough

A full non-fiction bookshelf. I'm so sorry to say that I can't transcribe all of the titles, but they cover the gamut from mathematics and sociology textbooks to books about Buddhism and witchcraft.

Elf with a shadowy past here, I get my unrealistic expectations from 300,000 word slow burn hurt/comfort fics on AO3

men used to get unrealistic expectations from porn and women used to get them from romance books. now everyone gets them from playing immersive 100 hour videogames where an elf with a shadowy past comes to know love again through your shared adventure and offers up their glistening elf body to you

Find someone who looks at you the way Bellara Lutare looks at ancient elven artifacts.

A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard showing Bellara, an elf with dark hair and intricate facial tattoos, looking hungrily at a recovered artifact. Subtitles read:

Bellara: "Well, then."

Archive Spirit: "I am the Nadas Dirthalen."

"You're still him, aren't you? The boy who swore oaths in the dark. Thought changing your outsides would change your insides, hm? But I still see." She laughed, smoke curling lazily in the air between them. "Go home, little paladin. There's nothing for you here but damp and dark and long slow rot."

It's less "masterfully building narrative" and more "smashing Lego blocks together until something passable falls out"
