This is great, I'd read the novel if there was one.
“I am a dragon. And this is my hoard.”
“You… don’t look like a dragon.”
“Well, hardly anyone does, these days. Times have changed, we have too. The scales and tails thing worked with the dinosaurs, but we learned quite quickly that… that wasn’t going to fly with you people.”
“You were around all the way back to the dinosaurs?”
“Well, not like… me personally. How old do you think I am?”
“… There’s no safe answer to that.”
“No.”
“So… when you say this is your hoard…?”
“All dragons have them. Some stick to the old gold and jewels thing, but that’s so cliche these days. Most of us like our hoards to be a little bit more sophisticated than ‘shiny.’“
“Like what?”
“I have known dragons to collect snowflakes from the first fall of the year over dozens of centuries. I know dragons that collect petals of flowers left on the graves of loved ones. Dragons that keep and care for soft toys and comfort items, left behind as children grow up. Dragons that guard happy memories and shards of sunlight, kept safe for rainy days. And me, I keep a sanctuary of words. A bastion of language, of poetry. Of written music and achingly beautiful prose. I am the Guardian of this monument to linguistic majesty. I collect stories of love and life and death and mourning and joy. There is nothing more beautiful in all the world, no coin or gem or sliver of starlight more fantastic than a well-told tale. A story is this world’s truest treasure, and what better chest for it than a book?”
“Wow. So these things… really mean a lot to you, huh?”
“More than anything in this world.”
“So… I probably can’t borrow your copies of Discworld, can I?”
“You absolutely fucking cannot.”
Just read this quote: it may be one of my new favorites. I might even read the book it came from, just for this quote.
“The only darkness we should allow into our lives is the night, for even then, we have the moon.”

This is beautiful, you don't see these natural bridges/alcoves in the states very often.
Great quote and important message to remember.
Good quote, would make a good illustration/tattoo concept

My favorite book quote that I am prone to misquoting.
Still one of my favorites, that whole abandonment scene in the second GIF makes me tear up a little to this day.
And we’ll always be friends forever. Won’t we? Yeah, forever. The Fox and the Hound (1981) Dir. Art Stevens, Richard Rich & Ted Berman

Into the World of Vincent van Gogh
The exhibition in the Atelier des Lumières is unlike many others, as it aims to immerse art lovers by completely surrounding them with the artworks by projecting the paintings on the surface of the walls, flooring, and everything inside the building.
One particular exhibit features the famous Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), a perfect candidate for this type of experience. The walls and flooring are illuminated with his masterpieces and visitors seemingly become part of them, standing against the rich colours and moving pieces of the works. The exhibitions aims to explore both the life and works of Vincent van Gogh, categorizing and highlighting parts of his life. The visuals are accompanied by both commentaries and music pieces which provide context to it all.

A ruddy wizard with a tragic past, what's not to love. I hope that when they make the Mighty Nein animated series, the design for Caleb looks similar to this; I love his nose.

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees
