the secret to life is to always use more spinach and less rice than you think you’ll need
the second secret to life is that fresh air warm sun and a cup of tea will make your problems small enough to start handling
the third secret to life is that violence sometimes really is the answer
Mark & Steven have some catching up to do.

Bonus:
Sometimes I like to think about how different Kaer Morhen would be if Vesemir wasn’t as much of a traditionalist / conservative in his views and more like ultra-progressive, not giving a flying f..k about how ‘things are supposed to be’. After all, witchers have been sticklers to traditions for centuries and Vesemir saw how that turned out for them.
Species that don’t adapt in a constantly changing environment are doomed to die – and Vesemir would be damned to see his boys dead.
So instead of holing himself up in a keep in the Kaedweni mountains, Vesemir walks the Continent and walks with open eyes – both to the horrors, and most importantly, to opportunities.
It starts with little things. In one of the castles he sees something akin to cotton and resin used as insulation around windows, so he implements that next winter in Kaer Morhen despite Lambert’s moans about the smell of molt resin. Never did they have such a warm winter in the keep with almost no leaks, even once the snow starts to melt.
The next year they screw Eskel over in a town, giving him a currency that had not been valid in the past two years or so as payment, which Vesemir takes as a cue to give the boys a refresher course on the basics of economics that winter – or more like attempts to, since half-way explaining the exchange rate of the Redanian ducat, Geralt gently corrects him that they’ve been using golden Crowns since the early 1200s.
It hurts, the realisation that Vesemir can’t help his boys anymore, not like when they were little – but eventually that starts the avalanche of changes that followed.
First, it’s just a fearful merchant, who reluctantly agrees to teaching witchers about the financial matters of the Continent for a hefty sum. Later, it’s an ambitious student of Political Science from a Kaedweni university, who climbs the mountain every other winter or so, to teach them about the finer details of international relations so that (unlike Lambert) they don’t make the deadly mistake of calling the Queen of Rivia as the Queen of Lyria, as the two had become separate kingdoms as of late.
Hell breaks loose though when Vesemir happens to meet Jaskier on the Path, who seems more than happy to introduce him to a few colleagues of his in Oxenfurt.
In a year or two witchers have full complex timetables for the entire winter with language courses, economics lessons and seminars on healing. To the encouragement of Triss, such things as ‘Mental health and Wellbeing’ also make it to the curriculum, and although at first most boys call it just ‘preposterous’ and ‘that’s for sissies’, eventually most of them attends.
But Vesemir does not stop at that, no sir.
Once he learns about scholarships and all the support and allowances other institutions get from royalty he dusts off his old secretaire and starts writing letters.
He writes to universities about grants and to masters of crafts about taking witchers as novices so that his boys can diversify their skillsets, their knowledge to their liking. He becomes the nightmare of kings and queens, constantly bombarding them with letters about funds for renovations until they say ‘ugh, fine’ and send a hefty sum.
It takes many winters, but, eventually, Kaer Morhen has no more leaky roofs, no more crumbling walls. It’s still not a pile of gold, and the new floor heating does not always work as well as Vesemir hoped it would, but when he looks at his boys at the dining table, they are warm, and well-fed and safe and, most importantly, as close to happy as the old witcher’s ever seen him.
When Eskel was novice to a farmer he decided to be a goat herd at his freetime between monster contracts – even now, sitting at the dining table he has a little, fluffy baby in his lap.
Lambert has a knack for elixirs and chemicals and has always been a snobbish little bastard, so he fit right in amongst the medical students at Oxenfurt with his scholarship, or at least so Vesemir infers, based on the wild stories he tells his brothers when he thinks the old witcher isn’t listening.
As for Geralt, to him probably the best thing that came out of Vesemir’s efforts are the dwarf lady, who teachs equestrian vaulting in the afternoon (much to Roach’s dismay), and Jaskier, who volunteered to teach Music and Poetry.
The latter came as a bit of a surprise to Vesemir, as he never considered Geralt the artistic type – he sort of comes understand the young witcher’s fascination with the course though, when he catches him holding hands with Professor Pankratz under the table.
Vesemir would like to watch his boys a bit more enjoying their well-deserved lunch break, but looking at the brand new gilded clock (graciously provided by the King of Kovir) he sees he’s already running late.

this is the only Eternals review you need to read
sorry, if you’re a NICU nurse you should be taking every vaccine they have on offer. you chose to quit your job, and i’m glad for that
not as pathetic as a NICU nurse putting the ‘smallest and most vulnerable patients’ at risk by refusing to take a precaution against a potentially deadly infectious disease!
before the vaccines were widely available to healthcare workers it would have been an impossible expectation — that is no longer the case and has not been for a while now.
don’t get vaccinated, but then don’t come crying when you can no longer work in healthcare/are barred from certain aspects of public life. choices have consequences, and this choice directly impacts other people. you know how this virus is spread, and this is not difficult.
CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES yes thank you that's what everyone is missing here
the "personal freedom" argument these days runs something like "no one has the right to tell me how I should live my life and also no one has the right to treat me differently based on the choices I've made" which is just. arrant nonsense. a child's solipsism.
they've turned around and denied everyone else the right to make their own choices because that might mean they don't get to have everything their way forever, it's fascinating and infuriating
by the way, most hospitals require yearly flu shots and 99.9% of the workers refusing the covid vaccine now (a very small number, it should be noted) took them without so much as a peep.
Hey
FUCK NICU NURSES WHO REFUSE TO VACCINATE
I don’t give a shit I hope you all get fired
idea: scene with two characters eagerly stripping each other clearly about to bone, but they keep getting interrupted by finding carefully concealed weapons in each other’s clothing, so they keep just unholstering, revealing and unstrapping increasingly ludicrous amounts of hidden guns and knives as the clothes come off, and it’s lowkey killing the mood a little
Alternative idea: it's not killing the mood at all
You’re right and I’m a fool
vampire who turns away in disgust from representations of the holy cross but it doesn’t actually harm her she just resents the omnipresence of christianity in the western world
The Joker’s violent attention-comedy bullshit would 100% just not work if his main opponent was John Constantine. Both because John is funnier than he is and just does NOT care. Joker would be bouncing around like “look at me, I’m so EEEEVILLLL” and John’s just bored because this isn’t even in the top ten evil things he’s seen this morning
Joker: hahaha, I’ve POISONED THE RESERVOIR
John, casually purifying it by dropping a charm no bigger than his pinkie into the water and then walking away: call me again when you’ve turned an orphanage into inside-out land sharks or something
Joker: *splutters*
Joker: you’re TOO LATE, Hellblazer! Now you have to choose between rescuing this civilian… or your PARTNER! Hahahahaha!
John, who specifically chose this partner because he was a serial killer and therefore expendable, and was also planning to feed him to Dagon tomorrow anyway: aw thanks mate, you’ve saved me an arseload of trouble
Joker: …
Joker: what the fuck is wrong with you
Joker: I am going to murder your ONE TRUE LOVE! AHAHAHAHA
John: haha I’m dating King Shark so good bloody luck
Joker: WHAT THE FUCK AAAAUGH NEW PLAN NEW PLAN
The sequel to this:

ancient vampire characters who pursue teenagers like.... romantically... you are absolutely swagless. die
i don't care if she looks like your dead wife if she's worried about what she'll wear to prom and you personally remember the louisiana purchase what common ground could you possibly have i am going to stake you
No experience more viscerally humiliating than walking through a heavily populated building with squeaky shoes. Look at me doing my little clown walk across the entire length of the building. Dumbass squeaking noises ringing out with every step. Sounds like I'm walking on two guinea pigs. I wish I was dead
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE QUEEN FOR THIS
a tutorial on rescuing someone from an uncomfortable or dangerous situation
Damn. She did everything right. Yes, this is dangerous. But even a violent man is still human and can be outplayed. Predators rely on a pattern or routine. Disrupt the routine, and the predator freezes up. Once you disrupt them, don't give them time to develop a response. Be bold. Be decisive. Talk loud. Act fast.
How should I approach this as a man? I wouldn’t want to make her more uncomfortable but I also wouldn’t be able to physically intimidate anyone because I’m short and un-athletic.
Talking to the woman is going to be hit or miss, just because she won't know if you are an "out if the frying pan, into the fire" situation. BUT, you could still go with "thanks for waiting, you ready to go? Oh, who's this?" And if she walks with you, you can say that she looked uncomfortable. I had a guy once ask if I could help with his phone to get me away from a conversation. OR: talk to the dude. "Hey man, can you give me directions to this place? Don't I know you from somewhere?" Etc. Then she has time to escape. There are no set in stone answers, even if you don't handle it perfect, if she gets out of the situation safely, count it as a win
Thank you for the response!!
Talking to the dude works!
One of my colleagues spotted a woman facing slightly away from a man who was talking to her, who was scary close. She looked uncomfortable and made eye contact. He noticed the guy was wearing a Broncos jacket and nonchalantly passed them both by and started the sports speak to the dude, like "aw bro did you see the defense last night? Hell of a time to he a Bronco fan, right?" And stood slightly behind the guy so he had to turn away from the woman. She said a cheeky "I'm not into sports, g'night!" comment and slipped away to the elevator. The dude looked super pissed but just stalked away to his car.
What was he supposed to do, admit to bad intentions?
Sometimes you don't need to be the savior, but a distraction.
Thinking about the Box tunnel 20 and now I'm wondering if buzzfeed unsolved exists in the BH universe and if so, they would DEFINITELY cover it
But also imagine Annie religiously watching BFU: Supernatural and then wanting to go to the places to see if Ryan was right and there were ghosts there.
George is outraged that Annie thinks it's a good idea to go looking for murderous ghosts but Mitchell loves the idea so George ends up going with because "somebody has to be responsible around here and make sure nobody suspects anything. He's more annoyed that Annie will message Ryan afterwards or comment on the episode confirming or denying the presence of ghosts and she's so confident in her messages that Ryan becomes desperate to know how she knows for certain.
At that point both Mitchell and George usually wrestle whichever device Annie was using to comment off her so she can't say anything else.
(On the road trip, George of course ends up acting the most suspicious. Remember the dead pigeon?)
The vampire coffin making industry must be insane. You can’t go to a human carpenter for that. No human person needs a guaranteed light sealed coffin that can open from the inside. They also probably drop way more money than is reasonable into these things, it’s not like a vampire is gonna wanna replace their coffin every century or be caught dead in a shabby cheap one, but humans make coffins to be viewed exactly once, comfort not a factor, and then nailed shut and buried in the ground. Completely different goals
Anyway all this to say I am a carpenter, vampire-friendly, and I use the utmost discretion in conducting my business
What I'm hearing is vampires are to carpenters as furries are to artists
Oh they’re going to need salvation.
Not just making it illegal, but making being gay punishable with death.
This is one of the many reasons why I walk by every single red bucket in the run-up to Christmas. They’re not getting my money, I don’t care how nice the people ringing bells are.
Ever since the time they threatened to close all their soup kitchens in NYC if a law that did something as simple as allow companies to extend spousal benefits to their employee’s same-sex domestic partners I have refused to buy from them or donate to them.
It’s that time of year again! In case people don’t know… the Salvation Army is shitty peoples.
Also, the married women are not paid (and therefore can’t qualify for assistance if they should ever divorce, etc). And worth “of course” less than a man.
“ In the Army’s case, the agreement for compensation is that the officer allowance be paid jointly to the husband—the check is written in his name. Officially, the wife is a “worker without expectation of remuneration,” and her husband receives 40 percent more of an allowance as a married man than he would as a single man. “

hey since that season is coming up again!
To my American followers. Don’t support Salvation Army. Not only are they homophobic as shit, but I’ve also heard that they abuse a lot f homeless people. They only care about money, please don’t donate to them and give your money to charities that actually help people
Never don’t reblog.
To be clear: this is specific to America. It is not necessarily going to be true for all countries. Please don’t boycott your own salvos without proper investigation: in many countries they do good work.
Sorry but no, the Salvation Army was founded in the UK and even there still are homophobic as hell, to the point that they still refuse to let out gay people hold positions of power in the organisation. This is a callout for the whole group, not just the US. - Purple
AND Canadian salvation army is just as bad! the whole organization is rotten from the core! Canadians are not immune to bad organizations!
Reblog to continue the violent hate against the Salvation Army.
