Ironically given Mike Judge’s politics, the actual meaning of “idiocracy” is about as close to “individualism” as Ancient Greek can get. “Idio-” means “individual, private”—seen also in “idiosyncracy”. Idiotes literally means “private citizen”, but in I think the Hellenistic period it shifted to mean “untrained layman”, and from there it was a short step to “stupid person”.

Excuse you?!??! Of course I love all my Infernal Devices and non-Infernal devices books equally?!

This is the only tiktok you’ll ever need, I’ve made about 13 of these and I’m not stopping anytime soon

I’m reblogging again because I did it myself and added pictures for those who have trouble learning from the video.

First take a standard rectangular piece of paper (I used one from a small notebook which I ripped out then cut the holes off)

Then fold in half touching the shorter side to the opposite shorter side.

Fold again making the new shorter side touch the other new shorter side

I did this one more time, but this time I unfolded it right after to get back to where it was only folded twice. It should have left a crease in the paper.

Using this crease, fold the corners up alongside it to look like this

This are also going to be unfolded, but this time you’re going to push in alongside the triangular folds you just made and undid.

Doing this once will result in this

Hold tight because tumblr won’t let me add more pictures. I’ll reblog will the rest of the instructions

[lunarcatninja]

Continuing on,

Do the other side of you haven’t already to get this

You’ll open these newly created flap to change which parts are touching

Leaving you with this

Then you start pulling the top “tabs” down

Do both sides to get the final folded form

Decorate as desired.

Hope this helps!

Ratio for the rectangle size is 2:3

So 6 cm by 9cm

Thanatos knows that I hecking love cute origami, and moths, so really, what was I supposed to do, scroll past and not take the opportunity to make butterfly and moth page markers???

I wish everyone would admit that classic literature is inherently difficult to read, and that you shouldn’t feel stupid if you don’t “get it”. Especially the dark academia/ classic lit fandoms and stuff. Like unless you have the vocabulary and pop culture knowledge of an 18th century nobleman, it’s going to be a tough read. It’ll take you longer to read; you’re not stupid if you’ve spent several months on a single book! And you don’t have to enjoy everything. It’s okay if you got bored after one chapter of Wuthering Heights, and couldn’t be bothered to read the rest. It’s okay if you want to read your favourite kids book for the 10th time instead. You’re not stupid. No piece of literature is inherently better, more “important”, more “meaningful”, or more “intellectual” than another. First and foremost, read what brings you joy.

i honestly don’t think authors grasp the effect dark haired, morally grey characters have on their readers. like i mean they can literally kill a man and most of us will still be here like

when oscar wilde said "i'm tired of myself tonight, i should like to be someone else' and when sylvia plath said ''i wish i knew what to do with my life, what to do with my heart" and when rilke said "this heavy humanness" .

There’s something just so right about Kaz Brekker being played by Freddy Carter with his little upturned nose and I can’t explain it

Back to Tumblr!

I missed this place!

[cliveguy]

i literally can’t stop thinking abt that richard siken quote where he falls to the floor crying but all he can focus on is the details of the wall in front of him

[cliveguy]

“Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: you’re falling to the floor crying thinking, “I am falling to the floor crying,” but there’s an element of the ridiculous to it — you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you’re on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realise you didn’t paint it very well.”

The scene that left me shocked and prickly. Woah!

[xandrei]

Someone give him a star that says "there was an attempt" smh 😒

I don't know about the rest of you but personally no plot twist or character death will ever cause me as much emotional torment as William Herondale and James Carstairs both living happy, fulfilling lives with the woman they love but not being allowed to be together and spending every moment of their lives wishing they could share it with their parabatai.

THIS!

[ablogofawallflower]

Currently reading The Raven Boys by Maggie Steifvater. So far i'm liking the dark academia vibes. Fantasy fiction has alwaas been my comfort genre and I've already in love with Adam Parrish.

Care to share your thoughts on the book?
