This is something I have to remind myself of a lot so I’d like to remind you as well. It’s OK to take time to care for yourself. It’s OK if you need down time. Care for yourself and you will be better equipped when you get to doing the thing.

Thanks to hloneheart for suggesting a sploot! Everyone loves a good sploot.

This is going to be April in the 2018 corgi calendar, coming soon [here]~!

when will YA authors realize that the mr. darcy fantasy isn’t “hot rich guy is a huge dick to you” but “hot rich guy fucking respects and listens to you”

[inkbleeder]

“hot rich guy only seems like a huge dick because he has the social skills of an agarophobic lobster.”

[wordmage-girl]

“hot rich guy falls in love with you, respects your wishes when you tell him to fuck off, mends his ways with no ulterior motive and opens his dumb awkward heart to you”

After 11 years of wondering if Turkish Delight is good enough to sell out my family I finally made some

[silbat-deactivated20191019]

so..is it?

[marisatomay]

well if i was a 10 year old in 1940 during world war ii when there was sugar rationing and i had been sent away to some stranger’s house with my siblings who (particularly the elder 2) were being real jerks and i had no idea that the seemingly kind lady offering the turkish delight was the literal embodiment of evil™ who would kill my family and myself once she no longer had any use for us then yeah i would do it

[mantis-lizbian]

i mean, yeah, thank you for highlighting Edmund’s often overlooked perspective here… but damn is that a big qualifier.

disabled goldfish in wheelchairs,

for in your time of need ♡

[frigbob]

These are all goldfish with swim bladder problems, which means they can't stay upright or swim properly. Without it they wouldn't be able to move or find food or interact with other fishes. The little floats keep them the right way up, help them keep their depth, be fishy

Smash that mf reblog button if you stoically ignore all labelled washing instructions and everything your mama ever told you about laundry and just send those bastards hurgling around in an overfilled tub to meet either death or glory

[aphony-cree]

Something I learned from a costume designer: if an item can be washed multiple ways the designer is only legally obligated to put one of the ways on the tag, but if there’s only one way to wash that item they have to put Only on the instructions

If the tag says “Dry Clean” it’s safe to machine wash but the designer thinks it looks better if you get it dry cleaned 

But if it says “Dry Clean Only” you will destroy it if you wash it any other way

Reblogging for that last bit which this 37 yr old adult did not lnowy

What made me just outright giggle at the absurdity of it all is reading about these bunkers in particular: https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-of-survival-condo-project-luxury-doomsday-shelter-2017-4 and seeing that their plan to keep the Unwashed Masses from intruding on them during the apocalypse is armed guards up on the ground patrolling the perimeter, which just illustrates the mindset of these people, they think they can buy anything, including the idea that people will voluntarily stick around and defend them once society collapses.

[systlin]

Okay

I went to that link and looked at the pictures and like….they don’t post the location of that bunker but.

I think I know where it is.

I’ve been north of Witchita Kansas, which is where they say it is, and I Recognize That Landscape, y’all.

Also, the Mr. Is a professional welder.

So like. Uh. Well.

Sure would be terrible if someone saw this and felt motivated to break a law or two

Trashcan chose my lap today and I had to wash my hands immediately but it was worth it

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

I did not name Trashcan. She came with the house and I will not question a Lady’s God-given name thank you. 

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

Trashcan is a Catholic so her full name after confirmation is Trashcan Perpetua Catherine

favorite bits of the cast interviews in the LOTR special features:

Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood and Viggo Mortensen all taking the piss out of Orlando Bloom for going on about a cracked rib too much, while Orlando Bloom desperately tries to wriggle out of talking about it (special mention to Elijah Wood’s “oh it hurts, babes, and I can’t ride the horse, babes” and Viggo Mortensen’s “they can be very fragile, elves, especially the…Mirkwood strain…”)

Ian McKellen commenting that “they never did find any suitable underwear for Gandalf…”

Dominic Monaghan going on and on about how Viggo Mortensen apparently had a crush on one of the Rohirrim extras (who like a lot of the Rohirrim extras was a woman in a fake beard) while Vigoo Mortensen just mutters “one could perhaps say something about Mr. Monaghan’s…proclivities…”

Dominic Monaghan’s imitation of John Rhys-Davies ordering food at a restaurant for the whole cast. “You have partridge? BRING THE PARTRIDGE!”

John Rhys-Davies talking about an incident with the Lothlorian boats and saying “if an elf and a dwarf are in a boat…and…the boat goes under…let us say that the blame was not placed on the elf” while Orlando Bloom splutters “he’s a big guy, man!” 

Elijah Wood talking about how the hobbit actors shared a trailer with Ian McKellen and sometimes they would hear inarticulate bellows of protest from his side when they played loud music in the mornings

Viggo Mortensen talking about how, while filming with those same boats, Kirin Shaw (Elijah Wood’s scale double) started telling him “if the boat tips over…save yourself…I can’t swim.” 

Elijah Wood describing how Sean Astin would try to direct the helicopters to land while they were on location, while the other three hobbits were screwing around and throwing pinecones at each other

Christopher Lee recounting how he had so much trouble going up some steps in Orthanc with his long robe that he stopped in the middle of the scene and said, “I cannot get up these goddamn steps, Peter.” 

Viggo Mortensen mentioning that he left a weekend rehearsal and went walking down the street still swinging his sword around, and promptly got the cops called on him

[fandom-frenzy]

#i literally hold every film up to the standard of lotr#including the quality of extras#and literally no other film will ever compare#fucking legends

[glorious-spoon]

the lotr cast interviews are literally the real life version of that trope where you cut between characters telling wildly divergent accounts of the same event, each of which paints the other as an incompetent buffoon, and it’s hilarious

[bisexualclint]

Some more wild shit from the extras:

Viggo kissing Billy Boyd square on the mouth during the filming of Sam’s wedding

The whole thing where Viggo and the stunt men would smash their foreheads together as a greeting and then one time Viggo did it to Orlando Bloom and left a giant mark

When he filmed fight scenes Johnathan Rhys-Davies would hit every single stunt man consistently

Viggo would LITERALLY just go and fish in the river while they were filming

That one video where I think Billy and Dominic are comparing their dicks

During the fight with Lurtz at the end of fellowship that knife that gets thrown at Aragorn is a Real Knife and Viggo just fucking hit it away with his Real Sword and the sound that’s in the movie is the actual sound it made

[cacklebarnacle]

I especially love how there is basically 3 or 4 times the movies on the DVDs because you can watch the movie with several different sets of audiocomments over it.
