Well, this looks Deeply Cursed™
I have a feeling that your worries aren't all the faeries would take away
well, it’s not wrong. once the fairies take you you stop worrying about what you used to worry about. granted, you start worrying about the fact that you’ve just been turned into a deer and are being chased by the wild hunt, but you know. not technically a lie.
honestly at this point just fucking do it.
To anyone who believes fairy tale romances never happen in real life, may I remind you that JRR and Edith Tolkien met and experienced a forbidden love in their youth, and then were separated for five whole years because of his guardian’s rules that he could not date till he was 21, and she got engaged to someone else only because she assumed he’d forgotten her and lost hope that she could ever be with him, but then on his 21st birthday, he wrote her a letter saying he still loved her and wanted to marry her, she responded basically saying ‘if I’d known you hadn’t left me on the shelf, I would never have said yes to anyone else,’ then a week later she greeted him at the train station and then immediately dumped her fiancé, and they got married and she converted to his religion and danced for him in a flowering field far away from the trenches into which he was drafted, which left such an impression that he crafted an entire story about the most beautiful maiden in the world who danced in the woods and made enormous sacrifices to be with the man she loved, and they had four kids and remained faithful to each other and blissfully grew old together and their gravestones are now marked with the names of that same fictional couple that he created, who broke every rule and overcame every possible obstacle to be together and get a happy ending, who only did all that because he based it all on their own real love story.
Knowing all this has always made this bit of Beren’s song instantly reduce me to tears:
Though all to ruin fell the world
and were dissolved and backward hurled
unmade into the old abyss,
yet were its making good, for this—
the dawn, the dusk, the earth, the sea—
that Lúthien on a time should be!
Tolkien straight up wrote a poem that said “the world could end, but it wouldn’t have all been pointless, because she was in this world, however briefly, and that justified all the rest.” Kills me.
Who can outdo Wife Guy Tolkien? Dude was writing elaborate AUs where his wife is an impossibly beautiful magic-wielding immortal elf princess who fights Satan and wins to rescue her human boyfriend from Satan’s doom fortress. Flawless.
Final note: while they were dating, a favorite activity was to go to a local cafe with a balcony and throw sugar cubes into people's hats.
Need this
nothing wrong with preferring healthy relationships but it really is astounding to me how often i'll go into the tags for The Unhealthy Relationships Show and see people posting "but what if the relationships were healthy though"
"what if this unhealthy relationship was actually healthy at the expense of the characters' core personalities and traits" then it would not be the same story would it
IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST
OR ‘PEAKED’
BUT PIQUED
‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’
THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA
THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU
ADDITIONALLY:
YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’
IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.
ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME
‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’
THANK YOU

YOU CANNOT “BALL” YOUR EYES OUT
AND FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT’S NOT “SIKE”; IT’S “PSYCH”. AS IN “I PSYCHED YOU OUT”; BECAUSE YOU MOMENTARILY MADE SOMEONE BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT WASN’T TRUE.
THANK YOU.
*slams reblog*

Me thinking that this is child’s play and that I know it all already:
Me realising there are some things I didn’t already know:
TO- GOING ONE PLACE TOWARDS ANOTHER
TWO- 2, A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 3
TOO- A DESCRIPTIVE WORD, THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD, THE SHIRT IS TOO LOOSE.
TOO- A DESCRIPTIVE
WORD, THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD,

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I’m gonna add
ROGUE: CRIMINAL/REBEL/VAGRANT/ETC
ROUGE: RED MAKEUP
it’s rogues gallery, guys. Not rouge gallery. You’re making me think batman has an extensive lipstick collection.
If you’re talking about a weapons CACHE, it’s pronounced cash.
If you say cashay, that’s how CACHET is pronounced which means prestige and does not mean a collection of items stored together in a hidden/inaccessible place.
NO ONE IS ‘PREJUDICE"
PEOPLE ARE “PREJUDICED”
If he’s not moving, he’s STATIONARY.
If he’s a fucking space pencil, then carry on with STATIONERY.
If it’s wet precipitation falling out of the sky, it’s RAIN
If it’s someone ruling over people, it’s REIGN
If it’s holding back someone from (or getting someone to stop doing) something, that’s to REIN [them] IN (…as if you were using REINS on a horse)
(and oh yeah)
If you’re telling someone they’re going to have to reconsider an opinion or course of action, then they have ANOTHER THINK COMING
(because “another thing coming” makes no damn sense whatsoever unless they’re in some kind of monster movie, ffs)
Just adding:

PEAL - (n.) the sound of several church bells ringing together or in sequence; (vb.) to ring bells in this manner.
BREACH - (n.) a break or opening, usually in a wall; (vb) to make such an opening, also a whale rising clear of the surface of the sea. (The words BREACH and BREAK are distant relatives.)
BREECH - (n.) the bottom end of a gun-barrel, where it’s loaded; also (BREECH PRESENTATION) a baby being born bottom-foremost; also (n. pl.) BREECHES, a historical style of trousers ending just below the knee and (archaic vb) to BREECH, to dress a boy in breeches (adult clothing) for the first time.
English is… Complicated.
And my favourite recent one,
It is “TO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES” and not “TO ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES”.
Per a request from @datundit:
“Oh would you please add
‘would/could/should HAVE’ not *of*
to the english grammar post.
That’s the most frequent offence I see committed by native speaker in the wild.
Thank you <3”
FLAMMABLE means that it can catch fire easily.
INFLAMMABLE means that can catch fire easily.
Yes. They mean the same dang thing.
If you want the opposite, you’re looking for NONFLAMMABLE.
I used to think the phrase for all intents and purposes was “for all intensive purposes.”
executive dysfunction is literally like. ive had a random dollar on my floor for two weeks and i dont know when ill fit it in my schedule to pick it up. people dont realize this
All the people in the notes saying 'that's too busy'... maybe this post just wasn't aimed at you.
"That's Too Busy." So sorry you were raised on Landlord White with occasional forays into Shades Of Beige and can't handle patterns or saturation in your colors.
The one on the left is killing me because the floor and shower curtain clash something FIERCE, especially when you throw in the blue rug. I am BEGGING for a sea green or a pastel gold on that curtain. If you’re gonna go with pastels, OWN THAT SHIT.
thats the before picture...
OH I’M A DUMBASS.
I thought I was looking at two bathrooms. 🤦🏼 I mean, speaks volumes about the transformation, though. I’m not a fan of the contrasting tiles, but I’m also not a fan in a way where I’m like “love them both separately, putting them together is for someone else’s aesthetic, not mine.” I can appreciate the vision.
You up? Alex Krokus
That last panel looks so peaceful. Sure they’re tired, but they’re genuinely enjoying themselves. Props to the artist for being able to convey such an interesting expression.
my favorite historical thing about actual pirates is most of them were really young guys who died between the ages of 17 and 24 so one of the reasons blackbeard is so famous three hundred years later is because he was, like, thirty-two and still kicking which made him seem really wise and shit-together by comparison. it's like when you're a 28 year old woman and get tumblr asks from college freshman that say "oh my god you don't look like a withered corpse at all"
there's a popular twitter artist right now who is getting called out for ai on a drawing, because people are circulating screenshots from two years ago when they were excited about the possibilities that AI offered for going back to making their comic again which had slowed to a crawl because of their RSI. only the thing is the drawing they're getting accused of using AI for has no ai use in it at all, and they've needed to publicly publish their patreon exclusive process video to prove this to an internet mob because of the influx of hate they're getting! good job protecting artists, guys!
are you people not ashamed of yourselves yet!
#my least favorite thing is when people are like#''it's so sad that the existence of AI compels us to do these unfortunate dogpiles 😔 i wish we didn't have do this 😔''#just don't then! you don't have to!
NO LITERALLY.... like these people are living in a world where people getting unearned art clout without being publicly shamed for it is worse than starting random harassment campaigns against strangers just trying to make a living because. they're all fucking lunatics. and i know when the dust settles on AI image generation, which it will, none of them are even for a second going to reflect on the level of cruelty and scrutiny they directed at artists while supposedly 'protecting' them
Need to be the woman in a giant fucking glass tube, naked, hooked up to various tubes and cables floating hunched over in a somewhat divine, too-perfect repose, while some scientist runs experiments against God on me
