just to make things a little bit nicer around here, I'm adding some enrichment to your enclosure. I hope you like :)

Hey! So I was wondering: I work in a bookstore, and just the other day we got the direction to move all of your books to horror. Which I thought was interesting! I was wondering if that happened at a company level, or what your thoughts process was for doing that, if that was at a publisher level! :)

Which bookshop? Where?

How odd.

[basic-icecube]

This is at Books-A-Million (North Carolina, for my specific store), but this was sent out in a directive that all the stores should've gotten, I believe.

[basic-icecube]

For anyone interested in how this turned out:

A new directive was released staying that the change was to move all of his one work to one location to make it easier to find. It was said at the publisher level, and they even noted that Mr. Neil Gaiman himself, requested that there be a change. So his work was mostly moved to fiction, so that they could still have it in mostly one place!

That directive was released just a short bit ago, and since then, Gaimans work has been moved from horror!

It was really interesting to see everyone's feedback on the old placement of his work, so I figured I'd follow up to let people know where to find his work now! :)

ignoring canon because i simply do not vibe with it

[gogomrbrown]

We really are a police state.

[mybigfatgaylife]

It’s worse than that. That wasn’t a rubber bullet, that was another tear gas canister–you can see it a few seconds later in the footage when the camera pans over to the advancing cops.

And they shot him in the crotch with it.

If I were feeling charitable I’d say that the cop who fired the shell was aiming for center of mass and miscalculated the distance and hit the guy low.

But I’m not feeling charitable. It’s clear that was a deliberate malicious attack designed to hurt the guy as badly as possible with the weapon at hand. The goal was to cause him pain and intimidate bystanders.

this really is dystopic, isn’t it?

Shout out to the dude who came and helped him up

[fucktheflagandfuckyou]

THIS IS WHY YOU BLACK BLOC. WHEN EVERYONE IS MASKED AND IN ALL BLOC, IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE POLICE TO TARGET INDIVIDUALS LIKE THIS

MASK UP, COME IN BLOC, BE PREPARED, YOU. COULD SAVE SOMEONES LIFE

[toloveviceforitself]

Also get to know your street medics and maybe buy them a drink later. They’ll often be the ones picking you up and making sure you’re good after this shit happens

does anyone know what this graphic says in plain text please thanks

How To Do It: Black Block Tactics

Allow demonstrators to take action without fear of immediate identification. If you choose to wear a mask, wear it right.

Cover Up It is not enough to half cover your face. Even if you get away, the police may use photos or videos to charge you later. Cover your hair, face, arms and hands. Cloth gloves are the best. Take out piercings. Make sure there are no identifying features on your clothes, shoes or backpack. If you bring any materials with you, wipe them down first with rubbing alcohol first to get the prints off. Don’t bring anything you don’t need. Stay Tight If possible, come to a demonstration with a small group of people you trust. Choose your crew based on shared intentions, not just friendship. You’re here to have each other’s back in the streets and follow up if one of you gets arrested or hurt. Strangers needs to protect each other too. Stay physically close, do not spread out, so that if police try to enter the crowd, you can “accidentally” get in their way. The front of the march might need to slow down while the back catches up. Stay moving, though: a tight, mobile crowd is difficult to surround or disperse.

Plan Your Exit Always wear “civilian clothes” under your hoodie so you can de-bloc and blend in a crowd or smoothly walk away. Keep an eye out for danger zones and escape routes. If things heat up, stay calm and act decisively. Commit to your exit when you decide you’re done. Sometimes you have to sprint and hide; sometimes you just step onto the sidewalk and remove your mask. You can de-bloc in the middle of a friendly crowd if you’re sure you are well-screened. Keep It Quiet Bragging and storytelling are natural but they are easy to use against us. If you have to talk, choose someone trustworthy who was with you in the streets. Don’t post anything on facebook you wouldn’t show to a cop. Same goes for Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr. Remember the police will read your texts and call-log if they arrest you. Never, Ever Snitch If arrested, invoke your right to remain silent. Name, address and no more. Captioned under request.

thank you!!!

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

fuck, marry, kill but instead it’s

get them randomly assigned as your lab partner for a whole semester, get trapped with them on a broken elevator for ten hours, and they’re your employee trainer for your new job at McDonalds

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

the important rule to this version is that no matter who is with you, you HAVE to be stuck in the elevator for the full ten hours. I don’t care if you’re in there with Thor himself. You can’t get out.

[petepepsi]

new ask game: send three characters and i’ll tell you which i’d rather have

• get randomly assigned as your lab partner for a whole semester,

• get trapped with on a broken elevator for ten hours

• get as my employee trainer for my new job at McDonalds

[wheeloffortune-design]

If I give you an apple and an orange and I tell you to choose, how many choices do you really have?

Two? Nope. You have FIVE, minimum.

You take the apple

You take the orange

You take both

You take nothing

You take something else

And this works EVERYWHERE. 

“Are you with us or with them?”

I’m with you!

I’m with them!

You both have good points!

You’re all insane!

I’m going with that other group over there!

“You need to vote Democrat or Republican!”

Democrat!

Republican!

I switch depending on the leader and the issues!

I don’t vote! 

I vote for a third-party!

“Are you Christian or Muslim??”  

I’m Christian

I’m Muslim

I think God is one and the same and follow good doctrines of both

I’m atheist

I’m Jewish

And it’s often more subtle

Like a salesperson handing you two products and pressuring you to buy one of them, making you forget that 

You don’t have to buy anything if you don’t want to

You can leave the store and buy something elsewhere

And sometimes it can be as important as

“Are you gay or are you straight?”

I’m gay

I’m straight

I’m both? So Bi?

I like no one, I’m ace. 

I’m anything else, really, this is a spectrum and I define my own orientation.

So remember- If someone if pressuring you to pick between two choices, they’re probably trying to manipulate you by making you forget you also have another three options.

[suspiciousgay]

h holy shit

Oooooo

[ghost-slut18]

“Are you male or female?”

- Male

- Female

- Depends on my mood

- Neither

- a different gender identity

[wizardnuke]

fake relationship but its a king and his concubine that was once an amazing soldier but he couldn’t go up the ranks for whatever reason so the king was like listen. hear me out. you can be my strategy dude. u just gotta be okay w walking around shirtless a lot. and soldier dude is like man that’s an UPSIDE and yknow they end up falling in love

[aethersea]

some idiot advisor: I can’t believe his majesty lets his boytoy attend these council meetings, it’s an insult to the noble institutions that uphold our nation, it’s an outrage—

a somewhat smarter advisor: you’re just mad bc he pointed out how dumb your naval attack strategy and no one laughed when you made a mean joke about him

[fieldbears]

Boytoy has gone from a top fighter who was well respected but in constant danger to wearing silks and eating grapes on daises. That fucked up rotator cuff was the best thing to ever happen to him

[mzminola]

Bonus points: at least half the other concubines are experts in assorted fields, the monarch brings them to relevant meetings to both play up a reputation for frivolity, and make sure at least one person there doesn’t have an outside agenda.

[aethersea]

my harem? 

did you mean: my chief strategic advisors

internet friends are kinda like illegally downloaded friends. you don’t get the physical copy but you still get all the great content

#i’d illegally download you all

My favorite trope is characters who don’t know what it’s like to be treated nicely, and how they react when they meet kind/decent/non-asshole people.

-the look of surprise when someone brings them a cup of tea, unasked for, just saying they thought they would enjoy it.

-breaking a glass on accident and panicking, expecting terrible, terrible things, but a caretaker just bumbles over with a broom, pulling on a pair of slippers and telling them not to move, not to step on anything.

-being given an unexpected hug, and stiffening, then melting into it.

-relaxing slowly, until one day they’re surprised at how comfortable they are with these new people.

-latching onto the roughest, meanest of the bunch, because that’s who they were familiar with, and the gruff, tough, scary person ending up softening up to them.

-always waiting for the other shoe to drop, even though it doesn’t.

-when someone says good morning to them first, and it startled them because they’re used to being ignored at best.

The tv shows I watched as a kid strongly led me to believe I'd have an arch nemesis by now

[freohrweohnatakausta]

Your arch nemesis is yourself.
