"It is the way of weakened minds to see everything through a black cloud. The soul forms its own horizons; your soul is darkened, and consequently the sky of the future appears stormy and unpromising."- ch112, The Count Of Monte Cristo
dude things like this is why it would have been so easy to believe in sea monsters before modern times - can you imagine being on a boat or sitting by some rocks and in the distance you see two gigantic fucking things emerge from the ocean.
And you just sit there and stare for a while and it stays like that, until suddenly they fucking close up and descend into the fucking depths??? how do you even process that? even sitting here watching the video is absolutely fucking absurd, nevermind what people would have thought before we understood the ocean a bit more
it just swallowed so much water too. how does it expel the water? or does it just have a tummy full of water?
