and im thinking about the temporary nature of our existence on this planet. even something that we try to hold onto forever- a building or a painting- even something like that could be temporary.

only dumb people would burn such beautiful historical places....

And satanist church burners like Varg Vikernes who actually happens to live in France right now

Oh, this article learned me that the church of my city (Dijon) was profaned a few times ago (and it's a bit weird to learn it here xD). Nobody have realy spoken about it here

Yes, it's the sad and harsh truth.

I just pray that if someone started the fire with intent, and not some other accident, - they will face justice. I'm so mad.

It literally is so sad. Twitter is literally full of shit rn about it.

- omg the Notre Dame burning looks so aesthettiiic *insert edits*
- If France did/didn't stan ____ it wouldn't have happened
- what's the big deal it's just a building or they can just re-build it (screams)
- brings up some old French colonization history in this ''the french have destroyed so many ancient and sacred buildings of colonised people in their colonial conquests so i truly couldn’t care
less about that building, it’s pretty but life moves on''

It's just cray.

That is truly soul crushing to look at.
I literally wanted to go on a trip to France this summer. I mean i'll probably still go but i won't get to witness what it was before.

as far as i know they did remove the statues from the collapsed tower beforehand bcs they renovated there

and this isnt like final notre dame is burning down never to be seen again, notre dame was in a pretty rough state once before and it got rebuild/renovated so thats a least a bit of hope to have i guess?
