It'd suck to skip BFA remix because I need to finally have the greatest armor set of all time

The other is his Fragment on the Constitution & Union, privately written as states secede before his inauguration in March. I just find it beautiful. To me, he's grappling with his beliefs, using a metaphor from Proverbs 25:11, of what greater meaning his nation should be. A familiar feeling today.

Fragment on the Constitution and the Union
Abraham Lincoln
January 1861

All this is not the result of accident. It has a philosophical cause. Without the Constitution and the Union, we could not have attained the result; but even these, are not the primary cause of our great prosperity. There is something back of these, entwining itself more closely about the human heart. That something, is the principle of “Liberty to all” ---the principle that clears the path for all — gives hope to all — and, by consequence, enterprize, and industry to all.

The expression of that principle, in our Declaration of Independence, was most happy, and fortunate. Without this, as well as with it, we could have declared our independence of Great Britain; but without it, we could not, I think, have secured our free government, and consequent prosperity. No oppressed, people will fight, and endure, as our fathers did, without the promise of something better, than a mere change of masters.

The assertion of that principle, at that time, was the word, “fitly spoken” which has proved an “apple of gold” to us. The Union, and the Constitution, are the picture of silver, subsequently framed around it. The picture was made, not to conceal, or destroy the apple; but to adorn, and preserve it. The picture was made for the apple — not the apple for the picture.

So let us act, that neither picture, or apple shall ever be blurred, or bruised or broken.

That we may so act, we must study, and understand the points of danger.

The first is his 1860 Cooper Union speech, so powerful it likely secured him the Republican nomination. I think the speech is an incredible rebuke of the slavocrats, but it's the phrase in the last sentence "Right makes Might" that I think speaks most to me as a sort of guiding moral belief of his.

Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that RIGHT MAKES MIGHT, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

One of my favorite bits from the Star Wars Legends EU are Corellian Jedi as a distinct Jedi subgroup - admittedly in part because Michael Stackpole invented them. But I also love they were an attempt to explore the old Jedi Order before the Prequels were a thing & before Lucas set ideas in stone.

You know. I often think I'm nostalgically stuck in the past with WoW, pining for an era long gone and never coming back, but at least I'm not whatever this is.

I remember being so pissy about New 52 because it threw this annoying wrench into Johns' Green Lantern run. It's why Rebirth hits so much better as a reboot, it recognizes those mistakes and managed to let DC restore their past without just utterly erasing New 52 for the parts some did like.
