    From the moment I first witnessed the interlopers. They disgusted me. Eons we slumbered, waiting to reclaim our galaxy. Only for it to become infested with vermin, that proliferated in our absence. Now we awaken to retake what is ours.

    Wretched amalgamation of meat and metal, shackled to ignorance by your faith. Do you truly believe you can stop us, we who have shattered our very gods and enslaved them to our will.

    The stars were young when our empire was ascended, and when the last of them die. We alone will remain. For we are immortal

    This protip is brought to you by my wife:

    Talk to your partner that arguments should be started via text, however the second party should not read or respond to it. This will allow whoever is angry to dumb their anger, and when you meet again, they would have already forgotten, and therefore it was more likely just a shitty day, or they haven’t forgotten but had enough time to articulate their grievances without being a meanie beanie.





  • Context, this poem:

    I met a traveller from an antique land

    Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

    Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,

    Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

    And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

    The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

    And on the pedestal these words appear:

    "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

    Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

    Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

    The lone and level sands stretch far away.
