henlo everyone
in case this relic of a blog is yeeted off the site uwu it was fun knowing yall (sshhh i know it's been forever since I moved camp so to speak)
ppl with tumblr blogs older than 7 yrs old have been getting deleted randomly in the epitome of Functional Website so given this blog is from 2012 if i disappear suddenly, know i did not purposefully delete
For folks with older blogs, might be a good idea to jot down Tumblr’s direct support email address now:
(That’s what I’ve corresponded with in the past.)
I know someone whose partner’s blog got axed yesterday, but he had it back in a couple of hours after corresponding with Tumblr support.
Here’s hoping they figure out what’s causing this and FIX IT SOON.
i just now while typing this realised you were answering my tag wrt what the ship name was called, not requesting a doodle, but here you go anyway ✌

every time millennials say they have the darkest sense of humor, the cold war generations have a little giggle
cool but this COULD LITERALLY BE A TWEET MADE YESTERDAY
josephine: forgive me for prying, lady pentaghast… but would you be so kind as to lend me one of your romance books?
cassandra: [disgusted noise] — I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Weekes: (X); Gaider: (X); Darrah: (X)
They’ve given Weekes too much power 😂
This is missing my favorite part of the thread.
for me, the most relatable moment in black panther (2018) is in the first ten minutes when t’challa prince of wakanda, black panther, the future king and fierce warrior literally ceases to function the second he sees lupita nyong’o’s beautiful face
some good good marvel girl sketches from this week
lover boys
so if there’s one single trope i’m always down to fight it’s the animal bride (folklore motif 402??) which a lot of you are probably familiar with as the selkie - the fisherman either falls in love, steals her skin to trap her on land/gain power over her, or they fall in love and THEN he steals her skin to keep her from leaving, and either way she spends a lot of time gazing sadly out to sea and then she or her child finds the skin and never returns again. and that’s awful on a whole lot of levels - it’s not love, it’s control.
BUT. but the thing is. you how selkies/seal women was a pretty common variation of this? another really popular one was swans.
i just want you to think about that for a moment. swans. like…I get it, they’re pretty, graceful birds, certainly it’s easy to imagine them magically becoming pretty graceful ladies? but have you ever fought a swan. swans are awful. swans are the devil’s geese. imagine seeing a pretty magic lady and being absolutely enchanted by her, and stealing her magic feather cloak, and then you go up and say ‘hey i’m in love with you, let me make you my queen, it will be great, we’ll be so happy’ and she just looks at you for a moment and…
you know i was going to say maybe she just shouts for her sisters and suddenly you’re realizing you’ve made a terrible terrible mistake bc you’re surrounded by big fucking birds who are all hissing. but honestly if this swan lady is as aggressively down to brawl as any other generally unhappy swan, then she’d straight up fuck you up on her own. she’d just deck you roundhouse, honestly. you don’t fuck with swans. why does this trope exist
okay but consider this: a woman walks to the park every day and feeds the swans and watches them paddle gracefully around the lake, sighing to see how beautifully they swim.
finally one day, a swan comes up to her and says ‘why don’t you come and swim with us? you always sigh so wistfully to see us on the water, and you would be most welcome to join our company, for you have always been a true friend to our kind’
and the woman says, ‘i can’t swim’
and the swan says, ‘we’ll teach you’
and the woman says, ‘literally i can’t swim, my husband stole my sealskin and should i venture into deep water i would surely drown’
and the swan says ‘your husband fucking WHAT’
the next morning the woman’s front yard looks like this.
and neither the woman nor her husband are ever heard from again, though for very different reasons.

tagged for imaginary swans doing the lord’s work
A++, two thumbs up.
It may also interest someone to know that swans can projectile poop.
I know a real-world mama swan who got shot in the wing and walked four miles overland to get back to her babies and dad swan, with her broken wing bleeding and dragging the whole way. She just kept going. Don’t mess with lady swans.
Also? Swans don’t have a lot of obvious physical markings that divide the males from females. So some idiot might be like, “damn, that’s a sexy bird, I wanna marry her” and then like. It’s a dude swan. You just transformed thirty pounds of angry aggressive bird into 200+ pounds of angry aggressive adult man, who will totally kick your butt. (Also I’m pretty sure that if you turned a lady swan into a human, you would not get a willowy little 5′0″ girl. You’d probably have a 6-foot amazon with biceps the size of your head. Swans are heavy birds and it takes a LOT of muscle to get them into the air. They are among the baddest bitches in the bird kingdom)
And when a swan decides to beat you up, it is not with fancy martial arts. Swans are brawlers. They have bone clubs built into their wing joints specifically for beating people up. A human swan is gonna come at you screaming and spitting and just keep punching you in the face until you regret every decision you have made ever in your life and also some of the ones your parents made too.

i’m curious what’s your sign and would u rather have elf ears or fangs? and why?
‘The Writer,’ 1 of 3 surviving automata from the 18th century, is a programmable boy that uses quill and ink to write any 40 letters of custom text. This 240-year-old automaton uses all 6,000 of its parts to create just enough pressure for fluid, elegant writing, and is thought by some to be the first computer. Source
This is truly a masterpiece of engineering from an early age. So amazing!
okay LOOK. I understand that on a purely mechanical and engineering level that this is an incredible piece but if scifi and fantasy media has taught me anything it’s that this motherfucker is haunted af and probably writes out gruesome deaths that mysteriously end up coming to pass thanks but NO THANKS BYE
computer science major here, i’m with haunted guy
Maybe this is a question that has been asked many times, but have any of us considered that Santa Claus makes the most sense if he is one of the Great Old Ones?
Capable of instantaneous travel all over the globe; he spans nations
Many unpaid minions who seem to live only to do his bidding
Including eight hooved, horned, flying monstrosities
Possibly nine if you count He Who Glows
An unknown, unseen mate hidden away in a barren arctic waste
He is himself all-seeing, all-knowing
Used to scare children into good behavior
Offers extremely conditional gifts
Appeased by offerings, for the most part
His belly swells greatly with offerings, described as “gelatinous”
(cf “Shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly”)
Despite this, he is “lively and quick”
Per the famous documentary “The Santa Clause”, when one dies, another must rise
Are we certain he has no tentacles? What’s under the beard?
When in mortal form, dresses entirely in furs
His yearly festival drives all who worship him mad
I think we all need to start acclimating ourselves to the idea that one of the Great Old Ones has, in fact, risen, and he is coming to town.
if u have pets, reblog this what u call them besides their name
“I will be your shield!”
