My First Attempt At Animation That Took Too Long..🥲💖

sometimes u wake up and write a poem

In honor of spooky month finally arriving, I’d like everyone to look at these pics of Hugh holding two giant pumpkins.

I grant you refuge from hurt and suffering.

With words of sacred scripture I shield the oranges from the sting of phosphorous and the shades of cloud from the smog.

I grant you refuge in knowing that the dust will clear, and they who fell in love and died together will one day laugh.

“I Grant You Refuge” by Hiba Abu Nada (trans. Huda Fakhreddine)

I’m already addicted to my Kindle but if I had this in my possession as a child I would have been insufferable.

As far as I can remember, I’ve always loved reading, but sometimes I felt like I was confined in my readings and couldn’t really “upgrade” them.

I mostly read old family books, and when I roamed freely in a library, I wasn’t inclined to choose titles that really stuck with me, mostly because they hadn’t been recommended to me.

My family isn’t familiar with literature, so reading is already impressive to them, and school didn’t really help in that regard either. So I lacked access to certain books that I’m sure would’ve been so important, not just for my education, but also in shaping my critical thinking.

I’m not saying that this kind of game would’ve solved those issues, since they’re also tied to broader societal concerns, but I still find the concept of a pre-filled and supposedly “accessible” library pretty interesting.

WORLD STOP

something a little mental about reading tsh and suddenly dedicating your college/uni plans to the classics.

LIKE OBVIOUSLY THAT DID NOT WORK OUT WELL IN THE BOOK.
