Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver except it’s playing from your neighbor’s radio that you can hear from your back porch, which you sit out on to relax in spite of the loud buzzing from the lightbulb and the hoards of moths that flock to it on summer evenings like this.

This is just literally what it’s like to sit on my porch

is this asmr

the signs as my favourite studio ghibli quotes

astrologieque:

pisces: “stop trying. take long walks. look at scenery. doze off at noon. don’t even think about flying. and then, pretty soon, you’ll be flying again.” – kiki’s delivery service

aquarius: “no matter how many weapons you have, no matter how great your technology might be, the world cannot live without love!” – castle in the sky

scorpio: “deny death, and you deny life.” – tales from earthsea

libra: “life, as they say, has its ups and downs. at times, the waves may taunt you, tossing you in their swells. but take heart. it’s hard to stick with it and make it on your own. but even a couple of losers can survive most things if they’re together.” – my neighbors the yamadas

virgo: “you’ll do the right thing. i know it. you’re very smart. sometimes we need to take a leap. be brave. you can do it.” – ponyo

leo: “always believe in yourself. do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.” – the cat returns

gemini: “everybody, try laughing. then whatever scares you will go away!” – my neighbor totoro

taurus: “the earth speaks to all of us, and if we listen, we can understand.” – castle in the sky

aries: “you cannot alter your fate. however, you can rise to meet it.” – princess mononoke

The Many Subgenres of Science Fiction

Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn’t exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible.
~ Ray Bradbury

Films & TV Shows depicted (from top to bottom): The Man In The High Castle, Orphan Black, City of Lost Children, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Handmaid’s Tale, Arrival, Aliens, Westworld, Firefly, The Prestige, Lost
