[fiddlesqueak-fables]

A lot of emphasis is put on Gwyndolin as a daughter in the souls series. Instead of saying ‘raised as a women’ it will say ‘raised as a daughter.’

In my personal interpretation of Gwyndolin as a trans male allegory, this is incredibly important. Because the first thing Gwyndolin does after his father is gone…

Is declare himself as ‘The dark sun.’

Aka, son.

Paired with the fact that the moon is for women, and the sun is for men as per the lore, this is very powerful to me. Though he uses moon magic, though he was born with a female sex trait, he declares himself that as the sun. That as the male.

The fact he has breasts also, may mean he was born with more that just moon magic.

the x files is funny because at the time it was “progressive” or whatever to have the ultra-rational, levelheaded character be a woman

but it’s also a show where all the fucked up alien shit actually is real, so she’s just constantly wrong about everything

[cryptid-sighting]

What’s funny is how often they’re both wrong. Mulder will be like “the victims all had their livers scooped clean out this is obviously the aliens escalating from cattle mutilation” and Scully will be like “don’t be silly Mulder this is clearly just a serial killer who’s really good with surgical tools” and then it turns out the actual killer is an immortal sewer man who comes out ever quarterly century to feast on human liver.

Finally watched the Addams Family Values recently! and honestly. my main takeaway is

Debbie slays. And Joan Cusack is a QUEEN

[vbartilucci]

Joan Cusack has never appeared in a film that she did not steal.

And as for Debbie, I will always repost my stance on her end.

I’ve said it a million times - if Debbie had listened to what the Addamses were saying in response to her tales of woe, she’s have realized that they understood completely. She had found her people, and was too wrapped up in herself to realize it.

If they could have, they’d have burst from their bonds, hugged the stuffing out of her, bought her a Bentley (and a vintage Ballerina Barbie) and declare her an Addams.

She could spend the rest of her life trying to kill Fester, and he’d love her all the more every time she tried. And the rest would keep offering helpful suggestions. “No point in trying poison, Debbie my dear - he’s been putting strychnine on his cornflakes since was seven”.

[payasita]

they would have been such good friends

the thing about me is i get hannibal and hamilton confused

I didn't realize how disgusting light bulbs were till I had to dump THOUSANDS of them into a gaylord. I am now dingey and smell like grandmas ashes

[flagellant]

Pardon me?

[chasingcoyotes]

i forgor not everyone knows what gaylords r but it's these big bitches watermelons and shit come in, we use em to store paint and bulbs lmao

[flagellant]

You mean a box???

[howtobreakglass]

I work in a warehouse and have to deal with these all the time. They’re called gaylords because they were popularized by a company called Gaylord iirc. You get used to calling them gaylords but every so often you say it to a person who doesn’t know and it hits you.

One time at work, I texted my boss about an order of them that came in by saying “there’s a 1400lb gaylord in the warehouse. besides me, of course.”

[chasingcoyotes]

its always fun when we get new ppl at work that get whiplash when they hear us scream across the shop for three gaylords

[iamafireplace]

i … did not know that

I don't think about Harry Potter all that much these days but sometimes I just randomly remember that these kids were writing on parchment. Like I know they have an aesthetic but WHY are these children writing their essays on ANIMAL SKINS in this day and age. It just isn't practical. At least go with old-timey paper or something.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

To all the people in the notes saying they thought that parchment was old-timey paper: you didn't write five fantasy books where it is explicitly mentioned as being used extensively multiple times each book. If you had, you presumably would've looked the word up in the dictionary first. Different writing materials require different types of storage and treatment and you'd look up parchment vs. paper if you were going to replace one with the other, to make sure you didn't make any stupid worldbuilding mistakes. Same as you would with vellum, or papyrus, or wood slips, or any other writing material.

[roach-works]

you would be amazed and depressed to realize how confidently wrong most writers are about at least one crucially important item that made it to publication.

[autisticexpression]

Another thing JKR did that bothered me as someone who volunteered at a raptor centre before I read the books (I was late to the party): the casual ease with which everyone handles owls.

The thing about owls, and raptors of any kind, is that they have big fucking talons. And it doesn’t matter if they're trying to hurt you or not, these are animals with meathooks on their feet. You need special equipment to handle them without risking serious injury and infection. You at the very least want a falconer's glove, but given that owls like to perch on your forearm like it's a branch, you're better off with an eagle glove which covers your whole arm.

At no point in the Harry Potter series is falconry equipment of any kind ever mentioned. People just let owls perch on their hands or shoulders like it's nothing. There's even one particularly cringe-inducing sentence where an owl sits on Harry's lap, a glaring continuity error in light of the epilogue where he has children. I could only conclude that standard wizard clothing universally includes thick leather gloves, shoulder pads, and a jock strap. That's the only way I could get through it.

"There's even one particularly cringe-inducing sentence where an owl sits on Harry's lap, a glaring continuity error in light of the epilogue where he has children."

This is the funniest thing anyone has ever said about Harry Potter

[autisticexpression]

Also, no the fuck Hedwig did not sleep with her head tucked under her wing. Is she a chicken??? Has JKR ever seen an owl???????

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

New headcanon they're all just chickens and none of the wizards know what an owl is

[autisticexpression]

before cooking an egg, do you poke a little hole into the shell?

no, why would I?

No. (I know the reason people do it but I don't do it.)

yes, obviously??

Yes (I don't really know why, though)

Before I… crack them open?

[langernameohnebedeutung]

....before you put them in here:

the water cup even comes with a little needle at the bottom for hole-poking purposes, see:

sorry i meant boil not cook

[blue-corvid]

WHAT IS THAT

[langernameohnebedeutung]

It's an egg cooker!

It's like a toaster and an electric kettle had a baby and ...the baby boils eggs.

[langernameohnebedeutung]

#is this specifically a German thing#because Germans tend to have Opinions about eggs#also the only people I know who actually know how to use an egg cup are German#teach me your ways - I still don’t understand why you’d use an egg cup. and I can’t imagine boiling eggs not in a pot on the stove

no egg cup:

egg cup:

[langernameohnebedeutung]

#why is the wobble an issue you pick them up one at a time shell then and eat them like not whole but just#you hold them and bite them and eat then till there's none left? why does this need extra tools

...at this point i'm sorry to introduce...the egg spoon.

[asparklethatisblue]

Even better news about German egg related gadgets… the Eierköpfer (it also has a super long German name), for when you need a guillotine to open your egg neatly

[bonyassfish]

No offence to Germany but why are you guys so fucking insane

[langernameohnebedeutung]

nothing to see here. Just normal feelings about egg.

[letopotato]

may i add this little stone egg in its little stone egg cup that's been part of my grandma's kitchen since probably forever

the little statue in honor of The Sunday Morning Egg

This is beautiful, thank you!
