Oh it is FAR from over...

A quick recommendation by Thoth on 2017-12-20 13:57:00 UTC Reply

So, we haven't had a thread in a few days, and I was recently reminded of a video I saw once, that I think people should watch. It's kind of old, so you may have seen it already, but I figured why not share.

Warning, this video can evoke some pretty strong emotions. Most people I know have cried while watching it. Having said that... https://youtu.be/ltun92DfnPYvvvbnnn

Thoughts? Opinions? Other videos worth sharing? Suggestions that I was totally wrong to post this? They're all welcome.

And re. the video you linked. by Neshomeh on 2017-12-21 15:44:00 UTC Reply

Because I did watch that, too, just didn't have time to comment before.

I also didn't cry, but that's only because I was eating breakfast at the time, and then I had to go to work and not be a mess. If I'd watched it, say, Friday night, when I often indulge in things that make me emotional (e.g. Call the Midwife; hardly a single episode that isn't a tear-jerker), you can well believe there would have been waterworks.

I think the piece was very well performed. I am a fan of spoken-word art. Using language to its utmost potential to evoke important ideas in a beautiful way... yes, please. It goes to show that words do have power, a subtle reinforcement to the message of the piece. And this message is one that I think a lot of people need to hear and internalize.

You—every one of you—have beauty and goodness inside you. You have power. Your voice has power. Use it to share love.

Yaaaay, I was worried I'd gotten in too late and the thing was over! Delighted to be wrong. ^_^

Alfa has stated that the best is yet to come. And since this is the prelude for Karamazov and Russ breaking through the gates, the XIIIth Black Crusade is heating up for the fall of Cadia, Kitten and Magnus are returning to the Palace, and Corax, Vulkan and Russ are all heading there as well, AND given that Alfa's stated that he's definitely got a firm story in mind and aready planned out, and the continually-increasing quality of TTS thus far, as the writers do more fact-checking and the whole thing just gets straight-up funnier, I have no problem believing him.

*Looks up.* Holy run-on sentence, Batman! Yeah... I think I'll leave that as it is.

The coolest, geekiest thing I've seen in a long time by Miah on 2017-12-20 17:29:00 UTC Reply

I'm sorry I didn't watch the video, but I don't like to cry.
Here is something else really cool. I love gingerbread and cuneiform is really fascinating.
