the old guard, the IMPORTANCE of this one random person showing human kindness and care to a stranger, and she never shows up again! because that’s the point! she’s not doing it for reasons she’s doing it to h e l p, and this old old old old warrior who has lost faith in a better future and who doesn’t understand the point of trying to help any more, receiving help from someone who gently points out that the POINT of trying to help is helping even ONE person a LITTLE, that’s it, don’t need a higher purpose, just a little bit of human empathy and love, she is so humbled in this moment and this french goth girl is so good i just, i love this, i loved this, that’s real paladin/cleric hours right there that’s, hope.

The Watermelon Woman (1996) dir. Cheryl Dunye

Hey this movie is really important in queer history! It was the first feature length film directed by a black lesbian! You can watch it here for free!

I really recommend you do because while it is a rom-com (and a drama), it also looks at how the stories of black queers are over looked in history.

one of the best ways i’ve found to combat that inherent depressive pessimism without veering into toxic positivity territory is simply the phrase “i’m open to the possibility”

this particularly works with anything negative i’ve forecasted. “i woke up feeling like shit today, so my day is gonna suck” isn’t a particularly helpful thought, but “it’s a great day to be alive!!!!!” feels hollow and insincere when i have a pounding headache & am running on three hours of sleep

instead i’ll tell myself, “i really don’t feel good right now, but i’m open to the possibility that coffee and breakfast might perk me up a bit.” or “i’m in a lot of pain today, but i’m open to the possibility that my workday might still have fun parts despite that”

sometimes, when your impulse is to slam the door on anything good, but you’re not exactly up to going out & hunting it down yourself, leaving the door open just a crack makes all the difference

Varric on the Inquisitor: obligatory co-worker

Varric on Rook: my son. I found him in an alley dumpster and fed him sardines like a cat until he could fight guys in the street again
