Ohmygosh. Felix Sanchez. This guy made me cry when he cried….
At the Beijing Olympics, the morning of the preliminary heat, he got the news that his grandma had died. He ran, but ended up doing horribly. He cried the whole day. He vowed that he would win a medal for her before he retired. And today in London, he won the gold. That picture on the ground is of himself and his grandma.

Oh man everyone in my country cried with him ;_;
As soon as he finished the race, he took out the picture of his grandma and kissed it. So many feels ;_____;
oh my god ;_;

things I learned because of moedea’s post:
- Polish has an entirely different way of quoting [confusing if you’re used to English and vice-versa
- “glopi osiol” is apparently Polish for “bad ass”
ah i meant something else. quoting remains the same, but rules of punctuation are completely different, for example in dialogues
- english: “Lalala,” he said, “blabla”
- polish: - Lalala - he said - blabla
also OH MY GOD NO ‘głupi osioł’ means ‘dumbass’ NOT BADASS
WIKIPEDIA LIED TO ME

ERIS ARE YOU EVEN THERE
WHY HAVEN’T YOU SEEN THIS ERIS
A deus ex machina is a plot device wherein an unexpected object, ability or character shows up just in time to save the hero from a seemingly inescapable situation. It is the parachute under the seat, the sudden realisation of the ability to fly, or an afore-never-mentioned older brother who is a black belt in karate.
The deus ex machina is generally considered poor writing; the failsafe of the badly planned novel.
But throughout literature (and film) it has been widely used. Books such as William Golding’s ‘Lord of the Flies’ and HG Wells’ ‘War of the Worlds’ are two examples. But such an ending will tend to leave your reader feeling disappointed and unfulfilled.
As a general rule, if you wish to use something to save your hero in the final hour, it is good practice to mention it at least 3 times previously. And if you work it cleverly into your plot, you can even delight your readers with an “I’d totally forgotten about that!” moment.
