This is the greatest progression of events I have ever read, where’s my historical gay romance novel about this

[ariaste]

KING JAMES, CAN YOU CHILL?

[cornchipz-revival]

Local King Cannot Stop Promoting His Boyfriend

[ruby--wednesday]

where’s the lush period drama about this series of events?

[hotidiotsoup]

fun thing about king James, this guy was fairly public about his bf (more public than what was acceptable). He threw lots of extravagant parties with his man on his arm. It pissed off the church obviously so to get them off his back, he’s the one that ordered the third translation of the Bible from Hebrew to English (the King James Version aka the Authorized Version) so the Bible every hot blooded all American Christian reads today was literally just written so a very gay king could fuck his boyfriend in peace.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

oh my god this is hilarious

“guys, guys. I know this looks kinda gay, and i promise i have a good explanation for all this, but have you considered… that jesus… is also gay? checkmate, heteros.”

[musicofthe-ainur]

Am I the only person who thought this was really fucking funny

[eleemosynecdoche]

A lot of the really funny moments in Lord of the Rings come from Tolkien playing with language like this, where we have relatively formal, archaic, “high” language responded to with informal, modern, “low” language. 

[modernclaire]

another hilarious example:

[lotrmusical]

my absolute favorite example of tolkien switching registers in this way is

[dukeofbookingham-deactivated202]

[eschatolegation]

That’s, like, what the hobbits are for. Tolkien uses them to punctuate and deflate his own saga-riffic language and ground things back to a modern audience.

[carnivalseb]

the word for this shifting of registers for comic effect is ‘bathos’, if anyone wanted to know

[rederiswrites]

Next time you go to write a ten year old child, please know that mine just gave me a fairly accurate explanation of fiat versus commodity currencies, in those terms. So for goodness sake, just have them talk like the adults they’re around most.

Also I saw a post yesterday that said that children under ten don’t understand sarcasm, and I assure you, that is not the case.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

I talked like an adult when I was 10. So did all of my friends. Writing children believably is not about making them not know stuff, or making them struggle to express themselves. Kids can be very knowledgeable and very expressive, especially if they’re little book weirdos like I was.

To write a believable child, DO NOT make them:

- dumb

- inarticulate

- prone to outbursts

- superlatively innocent

DO make them:

- totally incapable of accurately calculating delayed gratification or the long-term consequences of their actions

- intermittently sociopathic

- sometimes choose to lie in a way that cannot possibly be believed, due to a dearth of life experience making it impossible to determine the likelihood of their own statements

- only sometimes, profoundly weird

[lacylu42]

I just want to add: intermittent competence. 

My 10 year old can do her own laundry, cook simple meals, look after pets, carry on a sophisticated conversation, make jokes that will make adults laugh (with her) for days, and do long division, but sometimes wears the same pair of underwear for several days in a row or forgets to wash the conditioner out of her hair. 

[heywriters]

My favorite thing about kids of all ages but especially pre-adolescents is they will casually observe and absorb whatever older kids and adults are doing and be doing it too within a day.

Also, if your little kid has older siblings/kids they spend time with, they have the advantage of learning stuff sooner than expected. Older kids are who you learn dirty, dangerous, and “grown up” knowledge from. If adults won’t tell you, older kids are only too happy to sound wise.

[questbedhead]

Also worth remembering: Youtube. Ten-year-olds love Youtube and will spend hours watching videos about subjects they like. Not all the information they get from those video’s will be accurate, and they may not be very critical of that, but they will usually be able to explain the points and concepts with the same amount of fidelity as an adult.

[wolfie170]

I work with kids under 13. I’ve had a ten year old confidently explain to me the exact model of eco-friendly sports car he wants when he’s older, and how he’s going to become a real estate agent to afford it. Then he told me “I don’t know if I believe in God but I do think the devil is real because the centre of the earth is full of lava and I think that’s where You Know Where is”.

I mentioned to a 12 year old I was thinking of getting a new computer and he launched into giving me advice on hardware specs.

I know an 11 year old who is too shy to sing in front of her classmates but who makes new games in Roblox.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I used to work with kids and here’s my general analysis

0-2: Still figuring out how limbs and sounds work. Do have opinions though. Figure out pretty quickly how grammar works but aren’t great at it. Do not know what morality is beyond probably don’t murder your family or slap the dog.

3-5: Have figured out basic problem solving like how to find things that got dropped behind the couch. Are pretty good at using their imaginations. Usually haven’t figured out how to lie yet. Have probably moved past two word sentences but also stutter and say um uh well a lot. Have started to parrot the way their families try to teach them about morality. Get excited very easily about things that they like.

6-8: Have learned how to lie but aren’t good at it. Will claim to have climbed a ladder to the moon. May at this point in their lives be an expert in something or be on their way to being an expert in something like instrument playing, sports, art, coding, dancing, etc. Can speak in fully formed sentences and fully articulate their thoughts but their thoughts aren’t usually well informed. Can be taught how to do dangerous stuff like carve, cook on a hot stove, sew with real needles, run farming equipment, or fix cars with heavy supervision. Can start having slightly more complicated conversations about morality but are still probably parroting stuff they’ve heard from the adults around them.

9-12: These kids are getting better at lying but still often overdo it. You can probably have adult level conversations with them about complicated stuff that they’re interested in but still lack wisdom about a lot of things in the real world. They can probably be trusted to do a lot of dangerous things on their own if they have a lot of experience with it. They can probably also do stuff like navigate a subway system or do simple surface level research about a topic they want to know more about. They probably aren’t great about knowing which sources are trustworthy though. This is usually the age range when most of them learn about sex and attraction for the first time and might start asking philosophical questions like what love is and if the world is fair. They might also start to form their own nuanced opinions about politics, religion, and finances but their opinions are likely patched together from the various adults in their lives.

13-15: This is usually the age when people start to question the beliefs of the adults in their lives and relationships with their friends become more important than relationships with their family and mentors. They can form arguments that are just as nuanced as adults but still often lack perspective of someone that has lived outside of a highly structured system. Can be trusted to be alone for long periods of time and can take care of younger children for longer than a few hours. Can probably do something like travel internationally on their own as long as there’s some sort of adult or system for them to refer to if they get lost. Can usually pick up on obvious lies but are still vulnerable to things like get rich quick schemes. Are less likely to fact check than adults and are vulnerable to the opinions of their peers. Are probably starting to develop an identity around their sexual attraction and preferences and may start to consensually explore how sex and romance works with other people their age.

16-18: Are basically super inexperienced adults navigating the tail end of puberty. Still likely heavily influenced by their parents and lacking some basic wisdom that they will gather in the next couple of years after they leave the overly structured public school system. Capable of having a job or starting a business on their own but may still need some guidance regarding some adult institutions like paying taxes or navigating the DMV or college applications. Are fully capable of having political or religious debates and forming a personal philosophy separate from the adults around them.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

3 year olds definitely know how to lie. The 3yo here lies constantly about having already done stuff, or knowing what something is, if she thinks she won’t be challenged on it. She doesn’t have the context to be great at it (I know you’ve never been to America and I just saw you come out of the bathroom without washing your hands!), but she tries. (3 year olds will also talk your ear off. Every 3 year old I know can and will speak in complete sentences, using the sorts of phrases and words that the adults around them use, but they tend to slip up on uncommon grammar (”mouses”, etc.) and their pronunciation sucks, so it’s often difficult to understand what a 3 year old you’re not used to talking to is saying.)

GIF IS MINE (shitty quality included lol) GIVE CREDITS IF YOU USE

DUNE MASTERLIST

you were a Harkonnen so of course you and Paul were enemies

but your enmity was complicated

you were the baron’s “daughter”

not by birth though since he found you in the desert on Arrakis when you were still a baby

he saved you and took you in, but not cause he was selfless and had a deep urge to help a weak, little and defenseless baby

no. he used you, raising you to use you for his own good one day

and that day has come when he forced you to marry Paul

Paul wouldn’t have agreed to it if he’d had any other chance

I mean why on earth would he even agree? he was well aware that that was part of Vladimir Harkonnen’s plan to get rid of what’s left of the house Atreides and become the sole ruler of Arrakis and its spice once again

the baron infested your mind all your life, telling lies about the house Atreides and how all this time they’ve been planning to steal all the spice from your house

of course you believed him, never having heard the other side of the story

you were completely unaware that the baron was greedy and evil and just the most disgusting being in the universe

to you, he was a savior, and you felt like you owed it to him so you didn’t even try to escape the marriage when the news of the arrangement arrived

“the enemy must be destroyed, my child,” he said before you embarked on your journey to Arrakis. “be good and ruin the enemy from within.” that was his plan

the wedding itself was far from what you’d consider an actual wedding ceremony, it was just the necessities cause now Paul was the new duke and that comes with certain rules

however, your gown was a mixture of traditional clothing from both Caladan and Arrakis. it was BEAUTIFUL okay

and when you arrived at the end of the aisle, the groom sitting on a throne with a smaller, empty one by his side for you to sit in, you actually saw him for the first time

and you immediately hated yourself cause why on earth did the mere presence of this guy make you nervous?

and of course, the wedding wouldn’t be complete without a kiss

oh, that fucking kiss

it made your insides turn upside down for a moment and you felt something you’ve never felt before

so trying to deal with the self-hatred and the insecurity you got cause of that kiss, you projected all those negative emotions on him, resenting everything he did or said 

dinners would be silent whenever Lady Jessica wasn’t there, only the clattering of the tableware could be heard

and his mother made sure to be absent pretty much all of the time

“you two should get to know each other. I am certain my presence would only be disruptive”

sure.

and your nights? definitely spend separately

you got your own room, however its purpose was actually to give you a place to relax. at daytime.

but both you and Paul had kind of a silent agreement from the very start of your marriage that you’d be sleeping in separate beds. in separate rooms.

for him, it was more a matter of respect

for you, however, it was the disgust, the hate that has been planted in your mind by the baron ever since you were a child

but most importantly, it was also that feeling that was lingering deep inside of you

a feeling you tried to push away every single time you looked into Paul’s eyes. if you looked into them. you tried to avoid it as much as possible

instead, you observed everything else, sending secret notes to your father’s confidants about everything that was going on on Arrakis

but over time, as you became more familiar with the Atreides’ philosophy of life and the way they handled the spice harvest and trade as well as the way they treated the Fremen, you began to doubt the things your father has told you about the house and its leader

instead of resenting Paul, you started to resent your father, sending less and less notes, filling them with lies to trick him

you knew it was a dangerous game, and that the baron wouldn’t hesitate to have you killed should he notice that you betrayed him

the longer you kept leading the Harkonnens the wrong way the more unsafe you felt, being aware that spies were hiding in the castle at all times

so you made the only choice you had: coming clean with Paul

well, at least you tried

it was during dinner and after months of silence you finally broke it

“you married your enemy,” you said, poking around in your food as you avoided his gaze

“don’t you think I’m aware of that?” he replied. “I know you’re spying on me”

“then why won’t you do anything about it?”

he didn’t respond, now equally poking in his meal

“I stopped. I don’t wanna do it anymore,” you broke the silence again

but Paul didn’t say another word. instead he got up abruptly and left the dining hall

you didn’t see him anymore that night

later, and way past midnight you woke up to a loud bang outside your room. it was your father who sent his assassins and tried to have you killed — cause, of course he figured it out

the assassins were disguised as guards in front of your room which is right across from Paul’s, and they eliminated his guards before the attack

you were trying to escape somehow but of course you had no chance — you were trapped in your own room

but Paul heard all the shuffling and your screams and woke up, immediately sending more guards and coming to save you

when all danger had passed, he ran up to you, gently placing both his hands on either side of your face 

and for the first time you really looked into his eyes. they were mesmerizing

“you asked me why I wouldn’t do anything about you spying on me?” “I did. I made sure that no matter how far you’d go to fulfil your promise to the baron, you wouldn’t get hurt in the process. that’s all I cared about. I know you’re not like him”

and that was the first night you slept in your husband’s bed

over time, and mostly during dinner or at night, you got to know each other more and more

and Paul made sure no one would get too close to his wife

you literally became his everything

and because he was so busy being a leader throughout the day he made sure to keep you extra close at night

I’m talking him being the big spoon 90% of the time

the other 10% were reserved for when he’s had a rough day and needed someone to calm him down and straight up baby him

of course he only wore shorts for bed and you kinda expected that from him ngl, you needed to feel the touch of his warm skin, to trace the lines of his upper body

to plant kisses here and there which always made him giggle like he’s the most innocent and carefree boy in the universe and not the duke of the house Atreides, the leader of a revolution

you just couldn’t get enough of him and neither could he

My teacher has a poster on my wall and I honestly think that it’s a picture of a tumblr sexyman from an alternate timeline. There’s just something about it that makes me think some people would go crazy for it

[weaver-z]

Like I’m not joking I sincerely believe that in an alternate timeline this guy stars in a weird indie horror game as a deceptively charming and chipper classroom teacher who slowly leads you toward insanity and reveals some kind of eldritch nature. Like tell me that this guy’s design doesn’t scream alternate timeline sexyman I’m in physical pain… he’d be named some shit like Mr. Luxbulb and people would STILL want to fuck him
