The works of Pixel

@theworksofpixel
This is where I'll be displaying my articles, short stories, poems, etc. and pehaps also refer to my extracurriculars every now and then. Due to the occasional nature of my articles, etc. then this blog will be considered 18+ and "read as own risk". This is a fromal warning and I will therefore not appreciate people complaining about not being forewarned. I will be tagging things appropriately so one may easily avoid potentially triguring topics.In anycase, have a buttercookie.

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

If the text says the curtains are blue you can argue about what that means; but if you’re going to claim they’re actually yellow you’d better have a really good argument.

There are a surprising large and worrying amount of people in the comments who very clearly are not comprehending just what it is you are saying.

This, very much, causes my little lit.nerd heart to cry.

On the edge of our reality is where we meet fear.

It is where great Kings fall and great bards sing, it is the insanity that is our constant.

Logic and chaos are simply two sides of the same coin that is destruction, for it is faith that tempers their insanity.

It is faith, and hope that bring us from the edge of the universe and drive us to it in perpetuity.

sci-fi universe, the hot chancelor lives here with his economist wife that everyone thinks is too good for him. He may be the face of the compaigns but she is the face of the moment. May the gogs wheep the if the possibility of her fury every comming into fruition does. It will not just be his government that falls, but the whole quadrant of the galaxy. She will become the unwilling supreme leader for a month or so before she sets up some new elections with her being in a monarch-ish role wherein she is there to ensure fair play and to make sure promises are kept across elections, and that information get’s passed from leader to leader henceforth, instead of dying in the hearts of spiteful old politicians.

Shit Poetry: 1

Poets die,

and artists lie,

a writer dreams,

but we all run towards our scream.



alt ending:

and

in the end,

don’t we all scream.

So I ask of you now; do your proud men die?

Do they let themselves bleed as their souls cry out or do they leave themselves to slowly decompose in the pits they’ve dug for themselves. Do they claw their way through dirt, blood, and tears? Do they keep on getting back up, and are they left to be the last ones standing? Are they the final carriers of their orders or are they the first to destroy them? Are they the first to lay down their lives, or are they the last remaining standing?

What are we if not the culmination of our own choices, our own actions; so I ask of you now, what are you?

My Life-plan in case I ever gain the control of time (personal and the general world)

I would finish my current education, work 50 years in my proffession, and then 20 years of retirement - then I would go onto re-versing my physical age to beign 20 again, and then re-starting (but with a new subject) my education, the (once again) 50 years in the industry and afterwards 20 years of retirement - rinse and repeat. My goal is to be a pokemon trainer in terms of knowledge and life experience (albiet my real-life life-goal does not get changed from hoping to have a quiet and slow life). Then, if i get tired enough of this cycle (I doubt it, but oh well) then with all my knowledge and money that I have gained I would retire to my castle in the Swiss alps and/or mountains (I feel like they would be the least persecuting of an immortal - especially considering how rich I would likely get from this cycle).

I have a side thing of if I get bored enough, with all my vats knowledge, experience, and wealth - I could rewind time to the dark ages and document as much as possible and possibly see if I could help improve life in various provinces or just my home country considering how my country has had problems getting food etc. since practically the start (am danish).

Before people say that my currency would be worth nothing - I could simply convert it to minerals, and various well values thing and perhaps also some technology etc. that I could bring back with me - thereby I’d be able to barter and work without having to start from scratch with all the knowledge I would have gained throughout my countless lifetimes.

It could be interesting to see how I could potentially steer the world (or at leats local culture) to be slightly different and I could easier get away with my immortality if I just make sure to not show up too often then I could just either pretend to be my own child, I could be around when the times comes to write our bill of rights and specifically refer to the soverignty of immortals and, specifically my, protections. I could perhaps also protect my country from our few mad kings - which would save so many. I feel like if I rule with neutrality and enough benevolence we may be able to avoid a heck ton of wars, diseases, etc.

If, in some of my lifetimes I happen to have been a doctor, I would like to teach and disperse my knowledge to people - perhaps forming a school in one of my long life-times in the past. That way furthering medicine by centuries. I would also like to introduce several home appliances in their best forms (I would like to think that in my many life-times I have perfected the creation of said appliances in the most climate friendly, sustainable, and long lasting way possible) thereby freeing up people from the more monotonous tasks. I think I would also like to make sure no governemt ever plants as many Bøe (Beech trees), since it is due to the overplanting of them that has caused the artificial and terrifyingly high number of people suffering from (mainly Bøe) polen allergy (we have one of if not the highest percentage of sufferers - of 80% of the populace). One of my uncles is a resercher in farming science and I’d like to think that I also try that out for a good 50 years in one of my lifetimes - thereby being abel to help agricuture in my country (and others) in the dark ages.

I would end up becoming almost impossibly busy - but I think it would be worth it to see people thrive. Besides - I think after a while I could begin to delegate after creating good and steadfast educational institutions with the proper training and good anti-corruption measures. If I get that done well enough and free up enough time it could be fun to travel the world as a nomad and perhaps work as an advisor in different kingdoms/ parts of the world and share my knowledge. I think, if done well enough and if done with enough care then I think the world could be so much kinder, safer, and generally better for everyone.

Ngl, this isn’t exactly what this blog is for - but I feel like this would help people see my perspective on life.
