I had an ex boyfriend threaten to publish my nudes when we broke up, so I published them myself with his threatening messages and tagged all his friends, relatives and potential new girlfriends. I think the boy still has whiplash from that plot twist.

Vampires don’t like sunlight but moonlight is actually also sunlight

[smeghenegham-deactivated2024030]

Tell that to the werewolves.

[bananahaver]

Moonlight is only about 14% reflected sunlight, with a different spectrum (some wavelengths gets more absorbed than others, some more reflected, etc). If the two spectra of moonlight and sunlight were compared side-by-side with no mention of their origin, they basically appear as two completely different light sources, one peaking at the yellow wavelengths and the other peaking at the blue-green wavelengths.

To summarize; moonlight is not sunlight, it is reflected sunlight with a lot of its information lost or altered.

[smeghenegham-deactivated2024030]

Does this mean that, with the right set-up, you could make light sources which mimicked moonlight accurately enough that it sets off someone’s lycanthropy? I’m not sure what such a device would be useful for, but it’d be neat nonetheless.

[bananahaver]

Technically, yes. In practice, whether it’s simple to do so or not will depend on the exact mechanisms that causes the transformation. I suspect the easiest way would be to get a lamp that mimics sunlight and shine it onto a surface of lunar regolith trapped behind a thin layer of transparent material to protect against oxidation.

this is amazing thank you

[rosenagldky-deactivated20201223]

Okay but consider that the moon and the earth drift apart juuust a little bit each year—assuming that one’s lycanthropy is triggered by the AMOUNT of moonlight since what lore I know of consists of transformation on the full moon—eventually we’re going to be far enough away from the moon that the symptoms of lycanthropy will disappear forever

[zenosanalytic]

Actually no! I just heard a bit on NPR about this two days ago :3

The Moon is slowly drifting away, but it’ll eventually reach a static orbit and stop; it’s not going to fly off into space. What will happen though is kinda weird. When the Moon stops drifting away, the Earth-Moon system will become tidally locked. After that point, only one side of the Earth will ever face the Moon again. So it won’t be that lycanthropy will disappear forever; it’ll just only happen on half of the Earth :] :] :]

That raises another question though; will having the full moon always out, even during the day, mean that lycanthropes will always be shifted, or will the direct light of the sun overpower its effects during the day :?

[manyblinkinglights]

HOLYSHIT, TIDALLY-LOCKED LYCANTHROPY PLANET THIS IS THE BEST HIGH FANTASY KINGDOM DIVISION IMAGINABLE THE KING OF ALL WOLVES!!!! A BORDER WITH BORDER CONFLICTS AND ROGUES WITH DUAL IDENTITIES!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

[jennytrout]

The moon is drifting away because it’s ashamed to be seen with us.

I love how science!tumblr and fiction!tumblr enable each other.

[oodlyenough]

i always forget and am re-surprised by how much of hp fandom thinks immediately after the battle of hogwarts, harry and ginny and their teenage PTSD decided to raise newborn teddy lupin together, good god

[oodlyenough]

nevermind i’m still on this, i just

harry potter has been living in a tent for a year and ginny weasley has been leading a secret rebellion at hunger games hogwarts and they are, like, 17, do not saddle these poor children with a newborn that isn’t even theirs

let them live

harry has to nap for the next sixteen months and ginny has to go become a lesbian icon playing for the harpies

let andromeda the adult with childrearing experience raise her only living family member omg

[theforce]

kanye wrote gross lyrics and taylor approved of them, then lied in order to capitalize ON those lyrics but what i wanna focus on is how beyonce is so damn funny she’s like indirectly responsible for the feud by releasing single ladies, the song that created ww3 and she doesn’t even fuckin care LMAO 

[weloveblackgirlsssss]

[alternativeblkgal]

this is a concept that needs to truly be executed on this website.

[coolaftbh-deactivated20190813]

The best super power ever has to be the power to refill things. Think about it, your glass is empty, refill it without getting up. Your bank account empty, power to refill it. Your bed is empty of a person of your preferred gender, refill it and have some fun.

[draconisblog-deactivated2014052]

At first I was all:

Well that’s the stupidest thing I ever heard.

But then I was all like:

GENIUS! PURE UNADULTERATED GENIUS!

[that-australian-guy]

person annoying you? refill their bladder

To the Sanders fans pissed about Bernie endorsing Hillary

You do realize why he is doing this right?

He’s consistently said again and again after the primaries that his #1 goal is to: STOP DONALD TRUMP FROM BECOMING PRESIDENT.

So, with that goal in mind, it would be an absolute fuckton of a disaster if Bernie were to run third-party or begged his supporters to vote for him write-in, you know why? Because it would split the Democratic vote up in half. And because of that this would give them way less votes in order to beat Trump, and because of that Trump would lead in national votes in most states, and thus lead in the electoral vote, making him president.

Don’t believe me? Look at the 1912, 1968 and 2000 elections and tell me I’m wrong.

Bernie knows this too, that’s why he’s urging his supporters to vote for Hillary. He wants the Democrats united so Trump will be defeated.

He’s not “selling out”, he’s doing this so no supporter of his will either vote Trump or abstain from voting, and to make sure America continues progress. Progress that, unfortunately will be thwarted or reversed with Trump as president.

The political revolution fails if Trump is elected.
