“English doesn’t borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.”
— Terry Pratchett
Slowly making my way through Forgotten Stories and reliving this truth!
Prophet: Well, I’ll just... over here... something...
Let’s talk about some serious business Does anyone love Jespar’s and Constantine’s bromance as much as I do? Nope, seriously, their dialogs are HILARIOUS. And on the quest with the living temple this two just ignore the Prophet all the way and this FLIRTING and CHEMISTRY between them

Saying Hello to the Dragon.
Prompt: "Can you feel this?"
Warnings: suggestions of past trauma, sex
His fingers gently traced the scar below her belly, the scar from where life had been extracted form her so long ago. "Can you feel this?"
"No, I really can't." That wasn't exactly true. There were no nerve endings in scar tissue, but she could still feel the light of the life that had grown there. She could still feel the urge to recoil from that long-hidden part of her history. She could still feel a twinge of insecurity in letting him see, much less study, her disfigured torso. But she knew he didn't see it that way. What she saw as defects, he saw as pages in the story that was her; pages he relished reading again and again.
She ran her fingers through his hair. I really do love this man. The admission calmed her, somehow made her feel freer.
He gazed up at her, mischief in his eyes, a playfully-wicked curl on his lips. Her breath caught in her throat as his fingers slid downward. "Can you feel this?"

I feel like we need this reminder now and then. "... let us find ourselves a worthy goal"
This Image was taken from the International Space Station nearly 12 years ago on July 21, 2003. Think of it, the Earth’s Space Station - Humanity’s Space Station - is now more than 16 years old. Before that humanity had separate stations, but now we explore the grandest of mysteries united. This great effort of space exploration demands peaceful compromise and cooperation. There are now millions of children who know space in this way. So, when you feel that life is heavy. If the news tells you that we have failed. If you are beginning to loose hope. Just look up. Know that this is the future of our Species: On a Station orbiting Earth once every 90 minutes, the peaceful ascent of humanity into the Solar System has begun. This is the beginning of our great journey.
“If we crave some cosmic purpose, let us find ourselves a worthy goal“
