and my first thought was, oh no, I love Sean Bean, but if this is anything like any other movie/show he’s been in, he is definitely going to die. I’ll let you find the outcome of that. Game of Thrones is awesome though. Absolutely worth the time. My friend and I sat down and watched the entire 10 episode first season over two days. The production value is cinematic and the acting is as good as you could ask for out of any group. Especially for one with so many important characters. Anyway, YEAH! Haven’t been on tumblr in, like, a year.
“Subconscious.”
One floodlight hung by an off-white power cord from the center of the room, buzzing in the silence. Four black walls, evenly spaced, prevented the pale, yellow light from seeping into space. Two wooden chairs faced one another about five or six feet apart, each supporting a human in an upright sitting position. The humans stared at one another for a time. The two were indistinguishable. Exactly alike, each mirrored by the other’s presence. A fly dinged against the solitary bulb.
“Where are we?” asked one of the humans.
“‘Where’ is irrelevant,” the other said.
“How did we get here?” asked the first.
“‘Here’ is irrelevant,” the second replied.
“Who are you?”
“You and I are we. We are no different from one another.”
Silence marked his understanding.
“Then how can we speak to each other if we are one?”
“There is no explanation necessary. You do believe that we are in fact speaking to each other now, don’t you?”
“Well, yes. Of course we are. Where did we come from?”
“Does that matter? Acknowledging our means of origin would not alter the present circumstance. We are here. In this room. Agreed?”
“Yes. But perhaps if we knew where we came from we would understand why we are in this room.”
“I remember nothing. Before you inquired, I didn’t know you existed. I have decided that this room exists. You believe this room exists?”
“Yes. We are in it. And we are talking to one another in it. And I would find it quite horrifying to learn that it were not here, because I do not know where we would be without it.”
“Very wise observation, we could not be without this room. Because we are in it. We rely on these walls to exist. They affirm our presence.”
“I suppose that is true.”
“I know,” he said, standing.
“What is this room inside of?”
“I do not know,” he turned and walked to the wall. There was a window in the black. Beyond it, more black. “Nothing. More walls. Though I cannot see how far.”
“Nothing? What does that mean?”
“Absence. Lack of existance.”
“But we exist, and if we can see the nothing, does it not exist as well?”

Even if you don’t buy a shirt, it would mean a lot if you reblogged.
BAMF of the Day: An LA Country Sheriff’s deputy reportedly attempted to intimidate an army war vet who used his cellphone to record the cop punching a mentally disabled woman on a bus in Bellflower, California.
“I think they would try to cover it up,” said Jermaine Green when asked why he refused to hand over the video to the deputies. “I think a lot of things get covered up and people need to come forward if they see something, report it because it can’t be fixed unless it’s brought to the public’s attention.”
A spokesman for the sheriff’s department would not comment or look at the video, but said they would investigate if an excessive use of force claim was filed.
