plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. here's to hoping that in 2028, we won't need yet another fan to write a similar piece on this topic.

"ancora tu" / "it's still you." karsa vs swordart as spiritual sequel to corejj and crown's duos episode. a mini-thread for old time's sake.

for karsa and swordart, it is the sadness of knowing despite how hard flash wolves tried, again and again, they were never able to get even here to semis, much less to the finals, much less winning it all.

but to bastardize tolstoy, "world championship teams are all alike." they all want one thing -- to win. fw wanted that. ssg wanted that. they each fought through hell and back for that. and now, it is tes and sng's turn. this, still. this, again. (end)

Pingxiang, a city where miracles happen. A city where prodigies are born. A hostess. A tailor. And even our very own Knight. Great things can come out from humble beginnings. Cheers to the story of the ordinary. #Worlds2020

WHAT DOUBLELIFT’S BOTLANES TAUGHT ME ABOUT LOVE, v.2: - most people don’t marry the first person they date. that’s ok. - every person you date teaches you what you want from and how to be a better person for the next. - communication is a necessary but not sufficient condition.

- when you are young, it’s romantic if things are hard and you are always persevering. when you are older, you realize that’s a warning sign. - (which doesn’t keep it from being romantic.) - it’s not always something you or the other person did. you exist in a larger context.

- sometimes things just end. - it’s ok if things end. - it means that something new can begin. - new beginnings are not always good. - but life is a series of new beginnings, whether with yourself or a new person or an old person in a new context. - let’s be happy.
