Sorry for asking but how come you don't believe in it? Yeah I know random..

Well, I’m not going to go in to too much detail (partially to spare everybody hardcore triggered by apocalypse stuff - sorry!), but the main source of my disbelief is the actual idea of the “end” of the Mayan’s long count calendar.  Specifically in the fact that it doesn’t actually “end,” per se - the calendar’s circular, it’s just the end of a very ultra-specific set of years and the start of a new ultra-specific set of years.  So it’s basically like y2k.  But with Mayans.

And honestly, whether or not you believe in the world ending sometime in the next 25 hours (oh, PST~), a word of encouragement: there is nothing to be done.

…I know, that actually sounds really damn pessimistic when I say it that way, and I know the thought of the world ending can be legitimately terrifying (I am such a worrywart, you have no idea).  When I say this, I in no means wish to belittle the concept as a general thing, nor put down those who believe in it coming.  But it’s true, and not meant as a pessimistic viewpoint in the slightest: how do you expect to hold back this big, world-changing and/or world-ending who-knows-what?  So really, why stress out about it?  Why draw back into worry and fear, whether or not it even happens?  If the world ends, it ends, if the world doesn’t, then you have the rest of your life to look forward to.  And honestly, I’d rather believe in that.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled fandom blog : P
