I hope Jared Harris is aware that his performance was so good that thousands upon thousands of internet freaks now have made (1) dead and likely cannibalized Northern Irish sea captain into their blorbo.

Actually pronounced "Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier" like that today rather than "Francis RAWDOG Moira Crozier" (my preference) and I feel real weird about it

A Bookmark Near the End

He loves history. He wanted to write a biography of John Quincy Adams. I, shamefully, knew almost nothing about John Quincy Adams, so I went online and bought every biography of him I could find. One day, he called me, claiming that we wouldn’t work out long term. He said he loved me but that we had different interests. “What does love mean to you?” I said. “That’s an impossible question,” he replied. I, however, find love to be quite simple. Love is the stack of biographies on my nightstand with a bookmark near the end. — Julia Nicole Camp

how am I supposed to stay sane after reading this smh

[redstonedust]

theres an assumption that if an alien has an alien gender system they wouldnt understand homophobia but maybe they just have their own more complex version of homophobia. alien society with eight genders and a horribly complex web of what is considered socially acceptable that makes the gender binary look like easy mode. i'm inventing homophobia 2 and it's terrible.

*producer about to make one of the worst seasons of television ever put to screen* surely writing purely in reaction to what the fans are saying on twitter will work out great for us this time

it’s never a normal temperature anymore it’s always some fucking bullshit

[rosslynpaladin]

I need you young people to know it was almost never this hot when I was a child. Millennials and Gen Xers are all nostalgic and excited about summer because it was about ten to twenty degrees cooler to experience it back then!

I cannot express to you how FAST it has gone. I grew up in a world that does not exist now. We're starting on the path to reverse it, globally. You might not know how much solar has EXPLODED in the last decade or two. It's gone from a side thing, a weirdo novelty that was just Not Viable... to whole countries investing in infrastructure. but we have to keep fighting big oil and fascism everywhere we can in order to keep on this road to a new better less scorching burning earth.

But any time you wonder wtf the weather is doing- THIS IS NOT NORMAL, NO. THIS IS NOT WHAT IT WAS EVEN TWENTY YEARS AGO.

[parkchanwoohoo]

If you regret a permanent body alteration you got and your immediate thought is "raise the legal age for everybody who can do this" instead of "Maybe I, specifically, was a dipshit" you need to get Gotten by a mountain lion

like many people have said this better than me but no it IS odd that we've come to think of potatoes as so quintessentially european that their presence in historical fantasy where they're anachronistic doesn't jar. and yes people are trying to have the trappings of post-colonial europe without engaging w the icky colonialism part and yes people are neglecting to imagine what a european cuisine without potatoes would be like.

[penny-anna]

im fully in favour of 'let people have fun w their fantasy world' but is considering how the potatoes got there in the absence of colonialism not a fun exercise? maybe every year the dragon riders go on a great transatlantic potato pilgrimage

[penny-anna]

perhaps a good way to sum up the issue here is:

if you put potatoes in your medieval european style fantasy world people will by and large not find it jarring and accept it as a normal fantasy trope

if you put, say, black people in your medieval european style fantasy world a whole demographic of people will get very angry and accuse you of breaking their immersion

this is in spite of the fact that black people were a lot more common in medieval europe than potatoes.

I was thinking about how before Demetri the Volturi had another tracker right? Well what if once Demetri joined they kept the one he would replace but had them both working on the same missions, a way to test out which of them had the superior gift, and once Aro decided on Demetri he didn't want to just let the other tracker walk out but instead had them both fight to the death, not so much for the entertainment (for the most part) but also for an opportunity to prove that Demetri has greater combat skills and doesn't rely on strength and gift alone. And that's the reason why nothing is known about his whereabouts, because he never left (not alive at least).

I also like to think that Demetri ripped the Volturi's crest necklace off the "poor guy" and that it's the one he wears, for him it's kind of like a trophy.

[lunastwilightblog]

Savage but for real, the other guy did not have a nice ending. Aro’s so “I don’t want you any more but I don’t want my enemies to have you either” and as he’s gonna have them killed anyway, it may as well have been done in an entertaining way. He’d know who’d win based off their fighting experiences in their memories
