Art by @alefvernon this is absolutely amazing your so talented! If you would like me to take this down just let me now.
“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.”
- A Most Wanted Man, John le Carré
John le Carré has not, at any point, been fucking around.
ricon/lucia is so. they make me hold my breath. it’s filled with such tension. don’t react, lucia tells herself, as ricon shows her his trophy room, pushing her always. but her eyes are glowing, and she’s seconds away from killing him, especially after he shows her the wings of her dead parents.
everything ricon does is just fuel to the fire, it’s so so good.
