“If you dream of sailing the stars, be sure too that you do not dream of dismantling them for parts.”

my friend @catgirlbionics said this a couple weeks ago now and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. might be one of my favorite quotes ever now tbh.

yknow

"someone will remember us in another time"

i think that's not quite even going far enough

even if nothing about you is written down? people are people, and at some point there might be someone like you- or someone who imagines other people, and the people they imagine might be like you. i can think about the idea of a changeling child who cannot get enough of the feel of slightly clumpy sand- that person shares one aspect of me, probably more, and that person could exist back in time up until whenever a person was a person.

larger scales, too. and sure, those are less detailed... but a world in one's head goes far, even if it might not be too accurate. in a hundred million years, will someone marvel at a set of human bones and make a lucky connection? given how much ive seen about the idea of sapient dinosaurs, i think it's possible.

on earth there are people who dream of life on mars, of glittering green-blue worlds somewhere out there. if you draw a random squiggle enough times, will pareidolia resolve one into the shape of a continent? if the world is a dream, i must congratulate our worldbuilder on imagining some truly ridiculous monkeys.
