BlackQuillPen

Where I post thoughts that would worry my real life folks. This is a diary, perhaps.

[blackquillpen]

My sole goal in Skyrim is now to earn 5000 gold so I can buy a house and adopt all the kids.

[blackquillpen]

Just got scared by my own shadow

[blackquillpen]

Skyrim

Just started my first ever Skyrim play through because I really wanted to play Breath of the Wild but Switch and the game is too expensive.

This game is amazing! But I hate caves, which is like 70% of the game (sad face

[blackquillpen]

At a certain point in life, you realize you have to pick what type of person you want to be, what relationships you want, and so on

Kind of feels like I’m picking an aesthetic for my life story.

[minkidoodles]

I love not knowing who 95% of celebrities are. every day someone new is trending and I go "I don't know who the FUCK this is" and move on. I love that

[blackquillpen]

Mom: X died!

Me: trying to figure out who is this and if I know them, should I be worried, sad, or glad 

[blackquillpen]

There are somethings we just know or feel, things that we have to tie up into small little boxes and tuck away in the cuboard in our minds and close the door.

Sometimes you can take it out and examine it.

To turn it in your hands and see it under the light or wash it with tears.

Sometimes that’s very helpful and healing.

Sometimes you need to learn to tuck it away again, because you know you wouldn’t be able to live your life if you don’t.

For me it’s the fear of the day I won’t be able to eat my mother’s cooking.The possibility that I will see the end of my small country in my lifetime.

I fear change but I can only persuade myself that I have the ability to change with it.

Don’t look too far into the dark, or you’ll forget to live the light.

[mykrazyuniverse]

Damn it took me 5 minutes to figure out why you wanted people to like a picture of soap. You did such a good job people think you are just posting random pics of soap.

[deathdaydreamm]

this isn’t the fist time this has happened, I painted lube and everyone was confused that I posted a picture of lube

Imagine being such a good artist that people think you’re just an lolrandom shitposter

Now that bethesda jokes is going around again can somebody revive that one something or other forum post where somebody found out the way they made vehicles move was just like putting a train on top of an invisible naked default sprite and having it run real fast

The best part of it is that it’s not actually an npc. It’s you. Here’s what the wikia has to say about it.

[t-ycho]

OH DEAR LORD

[okay]

MY HEART BROKE AFTER READING THIS. This is a message sent by someone who’s in Marawi City. English isn’t my first language but I’ll try my best to translate this text message.

“Arianne. Jessica.

Both of you are my two best friends. You’re like a sister to me. You don’t know each other but I just wanna say that I love you guys so much. There is no signal here right now. We are under attack by ISIS. And we are hearing gunshots and grenade. Our mayor isn’t confirming the situation in here to the media. If you know someone, or if you have a connection to the police, soldiers or whatever, we are calling for help. Marawi is on red alert. Someone was beheaded, civilians were shot, schools were burnt. I am telling you, ISIS does not represent ISLAM. These people are evil. I love you guys. I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again. I love you so much. Forgive me if I ever done you wrong. I’m not sure what will happen tomorrow. Heard that it’ll be worse tomorrow. I am traumatized by the gunshots. They’ve been saying that this situation is still mild and tomorrow will get even worse. Electricity was cut off in some places and I hope they won’t do that here.”

[redheadedspacefairy-blog-deacti]

This is heartbreaking 😭💔

[cantaloupersonal-blog]

As a Filipino, it is hard for me to cope with this.  Many of our brothers and sister sin Marawi, Lana del Sur are suffering because of the greed of a few. It is hard to accept the fact that we are battling against our own kin by force to restore peace, but it is still not visible in the horizon before us. After hearing about what happened in Manchester, we also grieved with them. We knew how it felt like to be unsafe in the only place we call home.

This was not caused by our Muslim brethren, it is caused by terrorism. It chooses no age, no gender, no status, no RELIGION or even nationality. IT CHOSS anyone. The only way to fight is to spread awareness and unite against them.

oh my gods, someone  S P R E A D this

[jaquesart]

                                                      G U Y S 

PLEASE, I don’t care what religion or what belief you have in you or if you’ve got nothing at all,

but please, P L E A S E  pray for my brothers and sisters in Marawi…! 

Of all things to happen – why must this happen when we see a glimpse of hope in our country?!.. Why now?!..

Please pray for them.. pray for us… Pray for the Philippines.

CORRECTION: IT’S MAUTE GROUP ATTACKING ON MARAWI CITY but they are terrorists like ISIS and might be supporting them

The president declared Martial Law to protect the people here in Mindanao, including us here in General Santos City. 

Please let us be safe.

[starlumen]

THIS IS SERIOUS RED ALERT. HOPE MARAWI CITY HAD FORCES ALREADY. THIS IS WORLD WAR NOW.

PLEASE LET THEM BE SAFE, GOD.

[fiercefatfeminist]

It is our duty as feminists to protect and respect women in Hijabs

[fiercefatfeminist]

Now. More. Than. Ever.

[princeoftheplayground]

Question: if I see someone pull off a Hijab, what should I do? I know there are reasons they are worn so I want to if i should stand in between them and who did this, should i protect them from view somehow, or something else? This has been happening a lot so I feel it’s something everyone needs to know.

[protectnevillelongbottom]

Good question! I cannot correctly and effectively answer, as I am a white, non-Muslim person; however, I will reblog in case any of my followers can answer. 

[inquisitivespirit]

I asked my Hijabi friend, so here’s one Hijabi’s answer: 

“my opinion is, definitely try cover them or give them something to cover themselves with. And perhaps shoo off the person, without putting oneself in danger! God forbid, if that happened to me, I would like someone to come and comfort me and give me something to cover my hair with and then help me report it to the cops “

[animatedamerican]

(Followers, if any of you are hijabi and would like to expand on this answer or offer alternatives, please do.)

[scifibi77-deactivated20190412]

If u see it happen to 1 of us, pls cover our head + hair with a coat or shawl or any piece of cloth, while hugging us in comfort. Please don’t get hurt by lashing out @ the perpetrators in any way, coz if they dare to do that, they’re probably too far gone in their own hatred to listen to any reason. Much love + Thank You to anyone who supports us.

[meanieyards]

yes !! everything said here is important af. if you see someone pull off a girl’s hijab immediately cover her hair and provide comfort. don’t talk to the perpetrator but try to get the woman out of there if you can. maybe if you have a scarf on you at the time give it to her so she can wear it until she’s alone and can replace her hijab. please please protect muslim girls because we already had it hard before donald trump became president and now its gonna be worse with people going around thinking their violence and cruelty is justified 

[hollowedskin]

for my other white ppl who might have a hard time, it’s my understanding that a hijab is like a major item of clothing, not an accessory like a hat or a scarf. so think abt it more like if someone just ripped someone’s shirt or skirt off. u don’t want to be left there exposed or have to walk home without it.

everyone, even outside America needs to protect our Muslim sisters in these times.

[quadriparesis-deactivated201908]

as a man, what would be the best thing to do? should i turn my head and avoid looking at their hair? can i still offer a jacket or something similar?

[wear-it-like-armour-bastard]

^I’m hoping someone has an answer islamaphpbia is on the rise in my town and I want to be a good male non Muslim ally

[soul-angelos-deactivated2023102]

For men, yes please, we would prefer it if you avoided looking at our hair, and if we don’t have something to substitute as a hijab at that moment, anything you could lend us, a jacket, etc, would be very appreciated.

Also, since most girls avoid physical contact with men they’re not related to, please do not hug them, but rather shoo the offender away if you can, or at least escort the girl to a safe place. You can still offer words of encouragement and support. Furthermore, understand that the victim may not be very welcoming towards you because she’ll obviously be shaken, and won’t know where you are coming from. If that’s the case, please still give her something to cover herself (hijab is very important, think of it as someone ripping your shirt off) and stand some distance away until you are sure she’s in safe hands.

Thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it, god bless all of you.

[clairethehuntress-deactivated20]

In the horrible climate we’re currently in, please take note of this.

Reblogging this again for the guy-instructions

Seems like only yesterday we were both little girls wishing our fairy tale dreams…and tonight they’re finally coming true!

[la-knight]

I love Charlotte and Tiana so much (and Charlotte’s dad, honestly) because very rarely could a mixed-race friendship like this work back then, even with small children, much less carry over into adulthood. The fact that Charlotte’s dad not only let Charlotte be friends with the daughter of someone who worked for him, a girl from a relatively poor family, but a black girl, and never taught Charlotte to hide her love for Tiana is amazing to me. And Charlotte, as spoiled as she is, never hesitates to put Tiana first.

And sharing clothes with Tiana??? Doing so publicly, at a party, knowing everyone would know the blue dress Tiana was wearing belonged to Charlotte? Huge deal. HUGE. People would be making snide comments about Charlotte and no doubt her dad for months after that in real life. But Charlotte didn’t care. She didn’t care that she went to a predominantly black neighborhood and was visibly affectionate with her working-class black friend in front of everybody, she didn’t care about sharing clothes with her, or hugging her at the end, even though it could’ve ruined her social standing.

Charlotte loves Tiana. And I’ve always liked that because too often the privileged, popular friend makes the choice to snub their less-popular, less-privileged friend at some point. Charlotte never does. And she probably put up with a lot of s***, too.

[cheesedemon]

Yeah, I was waiting for the heel turn till the end of the third act to be honest, but it never came.

As your friends disappear one by one

Yesterday, my mom told me that my grandpa’s friend die and she’s going to take him to the funeral(so I’ll have to cook dinner). I didn't think much about it. I’ve only seen this friend once and don’t really remember him. However, my mom later told me that my grandpa cried on the car.

He cried saying “all my friends are gone…” These are friends that were with them for ten years, twenty years, even forty or sixty years. As the older you get, more and more friends will die and you’ll never see them again. And if you live long enough, you might even be the only one left. Of course you might still have family, but friends are who share your interests, who share fun memories when you were young and who you can banter with and laugh again as you have laughed when you were20.

“all my friends are gone…”

I’m really close with my grandparents and hearing them with such sorrow just breaks my heart.

tumblr now is a very weird place for kids to grow up with like ngl….. I had a tumblr from the time I was 12 onwards and like back in 2012 it wasn’t that bad just kind of cringy and fandomey but now tumblr has become a lot more political and it’s full of very polarizing opinions and 12-14 year olds are plunging headfirst into that it’s scary because these kid’s critical thinking skills and personalities arent fully developed yet, and they’re just beginning puberty which is a trying and confusing emotional stage of life… and they’re practically being FORCED into “choosing a side” in a very aggressive environment where they’re criticized for having the Wrong opinions and aren’t given a chance to learn and think for themselves and I think we all know someone our age who’s so obviously a product of Tumblr Foolishness and it’s scary to think people will be going out into the world thinking like this website does. yikes

[blackquillpen]

Why does so many creation myths have the story of separating the sky and earth? Maori creation myth: Ranginui the sky and Papa the earth were separated by their children. The rain is the sky's tears telling the earth he loves her, the mist rising from the mountain is Papa's sad sighs.

The neural network has weird ideas about what humans like to eat

So I’ve been training this neural network to generate cookbook recipes by letting it look at tens of thousands of existing recipes.

The generated titles can get a bit odd.

There’s a creativity variable I can set when the network is generating new recipes, and when I set it low, it comes up with its best guess at the most quintessential recipe titles:

Cream Cheese Soup Cream Of Sour Cream Cheese Soup Chocolate Cake (Chocolate Cake) Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake Chocolate Chicken Chicken Cake Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake Chocolate Chips Chocolate Chips With Chocolate Chips

When I tell it to get creative, things get even weirder.

Beef Soup With Swamp Peef And Cheese Chocolate Chops & Chocolate Chips Crimm Grunk Garlic Cleas Beasy Mist Export Bean Spoons In Pie-Shell, Top If Spoon and Whip The Mustard Chocolate Pickle Sauce Whole Chicken Cookies Salmon Beef Style Chicken Bottom Star * Cover Meats Out Of Meat Completely Meat Circle Completely Meat Chocolate Pie Cabbage Pot Cookies Artichoke Gelatin Dogs Crockpot Cold Water
