Adventure Is Here

in addition to the fact that people just have different natural rhythms, a big reason why we can’t seem to go to bed as early as we “should” is that nighttime is, for many of us, our safest and most fulfilling time of day. we don’t have to work, we won’t be contacted by bosses or insurance companies or collection agencies or other suffocating life business… we’re likely only to be contacted by our friends, or by no one at all. night time is release; it’s ours. we can rest or recreate. we can do things we actually want to do. who would choose to cut that short?? just to usher in the next morning when our lives are not our own again? nighttime is precious and nothing could be more normal than the desire to embrace this

Also, if you would like to see more random doodles on coffee cups feel free to support my caffeine addicton at my ko-fi because the coffee place with the blank cups is more expensive.

This is some truth laid down right here boy.

[quasi-normalcy]

Millennials have essentially been forced into a perpetual teenagerhood by socioeconomic circumstance, we desperately want to grow up, and we’re worried that we’re running out of time to do so

“There is, I hope, a thesis in my work: we may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. That sounds goody-two-shoes, I know, but I believe that a diamond is the result of extreme pressure and time. Less time is crystal. Less than that is coal. Less than that is fossilized leaves. Less than that it’s just plain dirt. In all my work, in the movies I write, the lyrics, the poetry, the prose, the essays, I am saying that we may encounter many defeats—maybe it’s imperative that we encounter the defeats—but we are much stronger than we appear to be and maybe much better than we allow ourselves to be.”

Nerdy Fact #1434: Wonder Woman was originally based on two women: the wife of creator William Marston and one of his former students that both he and his wife had sexual encounters with. 

(Source.)

[themyskira]

How about you actually name ‘em?

Elizabeth Holloway Marston and Olive Byrne were among a number of women who contributed to the original Wonder Woman, and they’re fascinating people in their own right.

Elizabeth Holloway Marston was a brilliant woman. She earned three university degrees in psychology and law at a time when few women received any tertiary education. She was a successful career woman who assisted her husband with his work and was frequently the breadwinner of the family.

The main reason she was able to continue working after having children? Olive Byrne, who was not simply a casual “sexual encounter”, but the Marstons’ lover and life partner. To enable Elizabeth to work, Olive stayed at home and raised both her and Elizabeth’s children. She also wrote for Family Circle and contributed to Marston’s research.

Elizabeth is credited with pushing her husband to create a female superhero, and after his death she worked hard to preserve his vision for the character, urging DC to employ her as the comic’s editor (she was ignored).

Wonder Woman’s bracelet’s are Olive’s bracelets: Olive was known for wearing a pair of wide silver bracelets, and Marston had these in mind when he envisioned Diana’s bullet-deflecting accessories.

Marston died in 1947, but Elizabeth and Olive continued to live together until the end of their lives.

[hells-will-88]

Wait. Clarification please. Are you telling me that the creator of Wonder WOMAN WAS IN A POLY-AMOROUS RELATIONSHIP?

[themyskira]

Yep! They were in a poly relationship and had four children together, two by Elizabeth and two by Olive.

(And for those who’ve asked about sources, the Marstons’ story is covered in detail in The Secret History of Wonder Woman by Jill Lepore and Wonder Woman: The Complete History by Les Daniels)

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

Wonder Woman was inspired and shaped by not only a man who was incredibly progressive and awesome by todays standards let alone the standards of the day he lived in but also by a fierce, intelligent and awesome bisexual woman

This is one of the many reasons why the ways DC has ruined Wonder Woman in their pursuit of making the book as backwards and heteronormative as possible pisses me off…

[scots-dragon]

Not a fierce and intelligent and awesome bisexual woman.

Two fierce and intelligent and awesome bisexual women. 

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

You are correct :D

[themetaisawesome]

Imagine growing up in that house

“Mom wants to see you.”

“Psychology mom or bracelet mom?”

“Bracelet mom.”

[themyskira]

According to Lepore, the kids called Elizabeth “Keetie” and Olive “Dotsie”!

[themetaisawesome]

That is adorable.

[sevensneakyfoxes]

I have reblogged this before and will continue to do it until the day I die. The origin story of WW comics is as fucking great as the character herself.

[pastel-petticoats]

Fun fact: Olive’s bracelets were a gift from William and Elizabeth, and were basically an alternative to a wedding ring, since she couldn’t legally marry them. Diana’s bracelets, 70+ years later, are a symbol of that relationship.

[brendaonao3]

Another fun fact: There’s a movie coming out about their relationship, starring Luke Evans and Rebecca Hall and Bella Heathcote that was written AND directed by a woman (Angela Robinson)

Just a reminder - if you’re drawing a team superhero book and more than one of your characters has the same build YOU’RE DOING IT ALL WRONG

How did you and your wife meet/get together?

How I Met My Wife …

Short version: In college, first year of undergrad. Same residence floor.

Fanfic version: Friends to lovers. Fluff and pining. Presumed unrequited love. We shared a bed.

Cosmic version: I knew her name before I knew her. It was written on her dorm door, the only one I had stopped to notice and trace my fingers along.

Platonic version: We formally met at dinner two weeks later through mutual acquaintances, her classmates were my dorm neighbours. I don’t remember much of that meal except the most ardent desire to be someone’s “friend.”

The universe-conspiring-to-get-us-alone-together version: It was the first long weekend, everyone had left for home, and we were the only two remaining souls in the students common lounge. We watched Miss Universe. I made her laugh. She smiled at me (a lot). I burned the popcorn.

Romantic version: We shared a coat pocket. The weather was getting chilly, she didn’t have gloves. I offered my oversize pocket and too-warm hand. She hasn’t let go since. (Butterflies really do flap their wings and hearts can skip a beat.)

Cosmic romantic version: She was my first kiss. She will, if the universe continues to be kind, be my last.

We’ve been together for nearly two decades now. She still makes me smile (a lot). I still burn the popcorn.

😭💖 I love you guys

[mopeytropey]

I live for shit like this because as much as representation matters in media, it also really fucking matters to know that things like this happen in real life. To real people. Who are actually, really, honestly, currently happy and loved up in all the ways you want to believe wlw can be. They are. We are. In a thousand unique iterations of happiness and security: these relationships exist.

I’m always so grateful for those willing to share these types of stories (and should contribute to the conversation more than I do) because I find them so vitally grounding in terms of authentic representation.

[lyjerria]

as you get older, you realize that you’re not always right and there’s so many things you could’ve handled better, so many situations where you could’ve been kinder and all you can really do is forgive yourself and let your mistakes make you a better person.

[ethanmarcelosette]

Hi my babies. I’m here with a big big work. Here it is. My reinterpretation of Lexa, using my style, some acrylic and a board of wood. It’s 93x134 cm. Hope you like it ❤️

When you hit your elbow against something, but that specific point of your elbow

[comfortable-scarecrow]

it’s…called your funny bone…

[themysticdreambouquet-blog]

that gif tho 

[recoil-operated-deactivated2021]

It’s not a bone actually- it’s a nerve that is exposed, specifically the ulnar nerve. The reason it feels so weird to hit it is that it’s not designed to deliver pain signals, so when you hit it it just wiggs out and sends Garbage signals to the brain, and the brain is just like “uh, dude- Ulnar, what the hell is this garbage?? You’re supposed to curl a finger and a half, and move some muscles in the forearm, why are you sending me this crap? How am I supposed to make this into sensory output?” And the Ulnar nerve is just like “dude dude dude, brain- what the hell is going on?!?” And the brain goes- “idiot. Fine. You’re on fire, freezing and being electrocuted. Happy?” And the Ulnar goes “holy crap brain!! I’m on fire, freezing and being electrocuted! What am I going to do!!??!” And the brain says “you’re an idiot ulnar. A damn idiot.”

It is very likely that the war between the Dwendalian Empire and Xhorhas, sure to be a deadly conflict with far-reaching consequences, was precipitated by the failure of the Xhorhasian spies to recover the Dodecahedron. Both sides lost track of an artifact of awesome and unknown power. Neither side knows what happened to it, and they probably believe the other to be in possession of it.

Meanwhile, The Mighty Nein just used it to win a drinking competition.
