Ask Wyndragon

This is an personal/rp/ask blog, so please message me! My muses would like to make new friends. My main muses are Brushfire Wyndragon and Rahnee Lizard. I intended this to be my writings and fanart I have commissioned, but it seems to have gotten away from me. I should probably warn you now, I may post NSFW stuff sometimes...

Bringing to light a very important issue. The Nigerian government is trying to silence youths protesting against the dismissal of a violent police branch called SARS.

They target innocent youths and take forced bribes, search their phones illegally, kill, rape and detain them. Please signal boost and spread awareness.

John Boyega is the only internal celeb bringing awareness to this. This is oppression and it needs to end.

Join the EndSARS tag on Twitter. There are so many painful stories of what people endure under them. They target you if you have a phone, search it illegally and confiscate laptops and electronics without just cause. Last week, they killed an innocent man and stole his car.

PLEASE REBLOG THIS. THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT RESPONDS TO PRESSURE FROM OUTSIDE SO LET THEM SEE THIS PLEASE

Tag everyone you know!

End SARS NOW.

the moon is a lesbian and she hates terfs

[queerfemme]

the moon told me personally that she thinks you’re obnoxious and hopes you never get a girlfriend

[q-is-a-letter]

I have a theory that the moon IS a trans woman cause she’s always associated with feminine things but when we saw the craters that look like a face we called it “The Man In The Moon”. She’s a woman with a face that people may perceive as male. She’s a beautiful trans woman

[queerfemme]

[excalibelle]

the moon is a beautiful trans woman who hates terfs and shows her face every night to remind other trans women they are beautiful and strong and loved and important and wonderful and that terfs and their opinions dont matter

[hiranyaksha-deactivated20220613]

I wanna add to this if it’s ok?? In Hindu mythology, Chandra, the moon, was originally thought of as a male deity. However, as time went on, symbolism involving the moon and the name “Chandra” itself became identified with femininity, with beautiful girls being described as having “moon-like faces,” with their dark, long hair reminding lovers of the midnight sky, and names like “Nilaa” (”moon” in Tamil) and “Indu” (in Sanskrit) are now pretty much now completely girl names! 

AlsO Chandra is married to 27 wives, who are all stars. The moon is a trans lesbian and is gay for all the stars in the sky. 

[fandomssaremysoul]

Reblog if you’re gay for the trans lesbian poly moon who supports all woman.

[aadyeah]

The hindu mythology bit made me happy as a hindu. We stan our moon.

[ginazmemeoir]

well wait till you hear about the moon’s child. The child is called Budh, the deity of the planet Mercury, and also wit and wisdom. Budh can change gender and sexuality at will. Budh is married to Ila, who also got a boon to change gender and sexuality at will.

so yeah, they are pretty much the entire agenda summed up.

[aadyeah]

WAIT PEOPLE REBLOG THIS VERSION COME ON

There is so much meaning in this. I love it, and how to some people, it would be simply incomprehensible.

[loveoaths]

to my friends in red states, please stay safe and watch out for each other. stay inside and avoid going out if you don’t need to. not to stir up fear in the wake of victory, but there are numerous watchdog organizations warning people — especially black and trans folks — to expect a sharp uptick in violence and tension. the naacp has issued a warning to black people in missouri to STAY INSIDE, STAY TOGETHER, STAY SAFE. check on your friends. stay informed. if you aren’t following them already, check out the naacp website and watchdog organizations to keep an eye on things in your area.

to white folks, this is a time for you to celebrate as well, but things are far from over. reach out to your poc and trans friends, particularly your black and trans friends, and check on them and make sure they feel safe. DO NOT STOP DONATING TO PAYPALS AND GOFUNDMES. CONTINUE SHARING RESOURCES AND INFORMATION. CONTINUE PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY AID. electing biden did not simultaneously wipe out the issues many marginalized communities are facing. YOUR PART IN THIS IS NOT OVER BECAUSE THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER. continue spreading

to succinctly sum up the energy we need to cultivate going forward:

you can reblog this. white people can and should reblog this. likes do nothing for us.

idk who needs to hear this but when your english teacher asks you to explain why an author chose to use a specific metaphor or literary device, it’s not because you won’t be able to function in real-world society without the essential knowledge of gatsby’s green light or whatever, it’s because that process develops your abilities to parse a text for meaning and fill in gaps in information by yourself, and if you’re wondering what happens when you DON’T develop an adult level of reading comprehension, look no further than the dizzying array of examples right here on tumblr dot com

[kendallroy-deactivated20210425]

this post went from 600 to 2400 notes in the time it took me to write 3 emails. i’m already terrified for what’s going to happen in there

[kendallroy-deactivated20210425]

k but also, as an addendum, the reason we study literary analysis is because everything an author writes has meaning, whether it was intentional or not, and their biases and agendas are often reflected in their choice of language and literary devices and so forth! and that ties directly into being able to identify, for example, the racist and antisemitic dogwhistles often employed by the right wing, or the subconscious word choices that can unintentionally illustrate someone’s bias or blind spot. LANGUAGE HAS WEIGHT AND MEANING! the way we communicate is a reflection of our inner selves, and that’s true regardless of whether it’s a short story or a novel or a blog post or a tweet. instead of taking a piece of writing at face value and stopping there, assuming that there is no deeper meaning or thought behind the words on the page, ask yourself these two questions instead:

1. what is the author trying to say? 2. what does the author maybe not realize they’re saying?

because the most interesting reading of any piece of literature, imho, usually occupies the space in between those questions.

If you're celebrating Biden's win, consider celebrating by donating to a bail fund, planned parenthood, or the Navajo Water project.

Your action to help the marginalized shouldnt end at presidential candidates and voting.

[populus-tremuloides]

To add some more:

Navajo/Hopi Covid Relief Fund

Critical Resistance, working to dismantle the prison industrial complex and abolish the police

The Queer Detainee Empowerment Project

National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center, working to end violence against indigenous women and children and provide resources for the MMIW campaign

Sunrise Movement, a youth-led political campaign pushing the Green New Deal and climate legislation

Industrial Workers of the World. Unions.

And of course it’s always a good day to venmo, paypal, or cashapp black, indigenous and other POC in your community, or donate to your community mutual aid fund.

Is your landlord a piece of shit and refusing to fix stuff around your place? If you’re living in the US, most cities have a section on their website for building code enforcement. Find the contact information for the department and tell them what’s happening. Make bureaucracy work for you! The government will contact your landlord and if they don’t comply they will be fined! The threat of losing money is a mighty motivator and they’ll most likely get their shit together within a day or two.

My ceiling was leaking for two weeks without me hearing anything from management besides “we’ll get to it”. Literally the DAY after I emailed the code enforcement department, management came by with a contractor to give me estimates on when my roof would be fixed. This shit works y’all

[thearthistorygeekau]

I don’t normally post or reblog about this on my Tumblr, but this is important. I tried this and it made our landlord so mad that they accused us of not letting them in to fix the apartment, told code enforcement these lies, and threatened to evict us. If you do this, make sure you document EVERYTHING.

We need to thank the Navajo a nation! They all got out and voted with no cars and few polling places- their population was enough to swing BOTH Arizona and New Mexico

[galsinspace]

This is Navajo organiser Allie Young and her "voting squad" on the way to the polls. They rode 10 miles to vote early!

And on the topic of Cary Elwes... (Iocane Powder in The Princess Bride)

Remember that scene in The Princess Bride where Westley challenges Vizzini to a battle of the wits—you know, the one with the iocane powder?

The last few times I watched the movie, something about that scene didn’t set quite right with me, and I’ve been developing a theory about what’s really going on.

Westley was involved in a battle of wits against Vizzini, a battle which, necessarily, involves a certain amount of deception. I think that Westley was deceiving Vizzini about his use of the iocane powder.

Westley describes iocane powder to Vizzini as being “odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is among the more deadly poisons known to man.” 

When presenting the poison to Vizzini, Westley also gives him the explicit instructions “Inhale this, but do not touch.”

While I believe Westley may truthfully have spent several years building up a resistance to the effects of iocane powder, I propose that rather than poisoning both goblets as he claimed to have done, Westley didn’t pour the iocane powder into either cup of wine!

Especially since the iocane was in powder form, I suspect that rather than being an ingested poison, it was an inhalation poison!

Vizzini wasn’t poisoned when Westley poured (or didn’t pour) iocane powder into the wine goblets, but when Westley told him to waft the vial of iocane powder. Since iocane powder is odorless, Vizzini wouldn’t have noticed that trace amounts of one of  the “more deadly poisons known to man” had been introduced into his system…trace amounts that were still enough to kill a man within minutes.

And since iocane powder came from Australia, and it’s well documented that Australia is home to some of the most venomous species of plants and animals on earth, there’s no reason not to believe that such a small quantity iocane powder could have killed a man of Vizzini’s stature.

Westley had already won the battle of wits before it had begun, and was simply stalling for time until the poison took it’s effect.

This is, in all likelihood, the most important post I’ve ever made on this blue-bordered website.

holy shit. 

[ingridverse]

Has anyone asked William Goldman about this?

[kristsune]

I showed this post to my husband, and this was his assessment:

Watch it again. I just noticed something. “It’s odorless, tasteless, DISSOLVES INSTANTLY IN LIQUID. “It’s a two-stage bomb. A binary explosive. He sniffs the vial, and now he has HALF of what will kill him sitting in the back of his throat. Westley doesn’t put anything into either glass of wine and simply waits for Vizzini to dissolve the powdered poison by drinking the wine. Westley’s not stalling, he’s waiting for the inevitable. It doesn’t matter how long it takes Vizzini to come to a conclusion. The moment that the wine hits the poison, he is toast.

I’m here for this.

[lauraannegilman]

If William Goldman is half the writer I know he is, he’s sitting somewhere going “shit, shit shit that’s brilliant -  YES of course, that’s exactly what I meant, so CLEVER of you to finally figure it out!”

[eowyn-daughterofkings]

I hate to burst y’alls bubble, but if that were the case, Humperdink would have died, too. he also sniffed the little tube and knew it was iocane. 

[endreal]

Hi @eowyn-daughterofkings! Great observation - a lot of respondents to this post bring up a similar point!

Word for word, you probably remember when Prince Humperdinck first comes across the “picnic” scene, and he says the following:

“Iocane. I’d bet my life on it. And there are the princess’s footprints. She’s alive, or was an hour ago. If she is otherwise when I find her, I shall be very put out.“

That means at that point, Humperdinck’s hunting party is an hour behind Westley-as-Dread Pirate Roberts and Buttercup! And  it’s clear from the way the leaves move on the surrounding plants that it’s a breezy day. It seems extremely reasonable that a vial that’s been left open and exposed to the elements for 60 minutes or more and contains no more than trace amounts of a toxic powder fine enough to effectively be aerosolized would no longer have efficacy enough to kill a man, especially one with as robust of health as Prince Humperdinck! (Can’t stand the dude, but credit where credit’s due - he’s never portrayed as a wimp. A conniving coward, but never a wimp).

What do you think? :)

Ultimately, the mark of a good headcanon is that it enriches your interaction with the story. Take your favorite ideas, find the holes where there are details unaccounted for, and let your imagination create something wonderful! Thanks for your thoughts!
