I appreciate this show was made entirely by really weird people. But I really like the writer being asked what the takeaway from their vision was and having the answer be "nothing"

Back to the Future (1985 - 1990)
“It means that your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one.” - Doc Brown
That Christopher Lloyd video going around has been giving me a lot of feelings.
Happy Back to the Future Day
I am so in love with Jasper’s gorgeous eyes and hair. >;)

H, L, P and V?
H: a song that reminds me of my childhood
I think the last time I did a similiar meme I answered this question, and the first one that comes to mind still is Gorod Zolotoi (The Town Golden). Mom used to sing it as a lullaby. It’s a beautiful song, really.
L: an instrumental song
Hmmmmmmmm. I adore instrumental music, and there’s a lot I can rec. Of classics: the eternal Symphony №1 by Brahms (my absolute favourite piece of music); of soundtracks: Le Temps Passe from Les Mis 2000 (so light and yet solemn), Violente valse by Caravan Palace, Surprise Attack from Star Trek II, Three Is Company from LOTR... agh, there’s too many! hope you enjoy :P
P: a song that I’d recommend you based on your blog
Hmmm. Up On That Hill by Shawn Colinn. Les Jours Tristes by Yann Tiersen. And Le Temps Passe from above!
V: a non-english song
I almost rec’d a non-english song for the previous one :P Well, okay, I already wanted to do it: Cutty Sark by The Dartz (I found this only vid with English subs).

my mom never was overtly homophobic or anti-LGBTQ, but you know how the shit we absorb without any conscious thought sometimes comes out. she's a very kind person, but she just - couldn't really understand, I guess and I have literally seen her become more and more open and accepting and I can SEE that it's at least partially thanks to people she admires that are out (like there's stephen fry and foreign actors she likes, and one russian singer-songerwriter and so)
Thank you all! My friend was first-reading my fic, and she wondered about this one, and then I wondered, too, maybe my phrasing was off or something.
zedille replied to your post “guys, need native speaker help! I have a phrase in my mind that goes...”
agreed with other comments. I /think/ it appears in Tolkien?? Théoden says it to Éowyn? Maybe?
DAMN YOU'RE RIGHT! I was wondering where I borrowed it from! Of course it's Tolkien. Thanks.
carmarthenfan replied to your post “guys, need native speaker help! I have a phrase in my mind that goes...”
It's correct and also a bit archaic/old-fashioned, if that's what you mean by fancy...I am not sure a modern person would say it.
Old-fashioned is what I was going for, so yeah!
sarellathesphinx replied to your post “guys, need native speaker help! I have a phrase in my mind that goes...”
That sounds right to me! :) I just did a quick search and it pops up in a number of books, etc., so you should be fine using it.
Yeeah, I also did a search and the results were kind of... confusing somehow. thanks!
