Books! The best weapons in the world!

The blog of an unrepentant fandom enthusiast, martial artist and geologist. Will reblog whatever fandom I enjoy; currently mostly Good Omens, space and assorted random stuff when it amuses me.

As i said before, Mermay was kind of a bust, unfortunately 😅 so have the ones i did manage to do, and a few low-effort sketches as well ♡ (there's still one im fiddling with on my brand new shiny drawing tablet so that's something)

A healthy mix of merman and human Ice and Mavs, in all possible configurations 😌

Merman Ice wondering over this pretty two-legged creature and how lucky he is that Mav seems as besotted with him and he is with Mav ♡ (and yes the boots stay ON)

And don't worry, Ice is going to be fine, he got caught in an unfair fight but held out amazingly till Mav could blaze in and unleash holy hell on Ice's attackers. Mav's gonna be stiflingly fussy over Ice till the wounds have faded into silvery raised lines, tho.

Finished Project Hail Mary earlier today and how come nobody told me this was a platonic Orpheus and Eurydice type situation between two alien species? There is no greater act of love than the act of turning around can anyone hear me hello can anyone hear me Rocky are you there it’s me Ryland I am actively bashing the side of your ship with a giant fuck ass wrench

auto immune disorders happen when the immune system ignores regulatory factors and begins attacking healthy bodily tissues, due to what scientists refer to as "sheer love of the game"

scientists are experimenting on cross-breeding a crab and a cheetah; things could go sideways real fast

Happy Pride ♡

Look at these guys, you'd think they were doing Nefarious Things beneath that table but no. Just in a blushy giggly state because they're holding hands (in public!!) ♡♡

[re-dracula]

Happy Pride! In the closet or out, know that you are valued and loved!

jotting down some ideas 🤔🛩️

[flightsofwonder]

being an adult is just saying to yourself “this is the weekend i’ll clean my [x]” and then proceeding to not do that because it’s the weekend and you deserve to relax, goddamnit

[flightsofwonder]

why does this have 85K notes

[randomslasher]

because we reblogged it instead of cleaning our [x]

rewatched the entire PoTC trilogy on an international flight and I can't believe I forgot how funny it is.

Barbossa is the most exasperated character in any scene he's in, unless he's winning. then he's the smuggest son of a bitch on screen (he literally returns from the dead smugly eating an apple). but majority of the time, he's 'why am I the only adult here'. man rolls his eyes so much I half-expected him to turn straight to the camera.

when Will asks Elizabeth to marry him while they are fighting Davy Jones' crew, stuck in a maelstrom, and trapped in the final battle, the first word out of her mouth is "Barbossa!". she then continues by asking Barbossa to marry them, but for a split second Will's face goes like 'Barbossa? Barbossa?? I didn't even know he was on the map of this convoluted love quadrangle!'

when they're in Singapore and Sao Feng threatens the spy he found and Will, Elizabeth, and Barbossa all look at each other to confirm that none of them have snuck in a spy they forgot to tell the others about, before shrugging and telling Sao Feng to go ahead and kill him.

Barbossa's eyes just getting wide and wider the more weapons Elizabeth pulls out of her clothes. c'mon man, let a woman have her toys!

rewatching really gives you the full picture of how many people are scheming at any given time and how each person's schemes intersect with the others, even if they're nominally on the same side. everyone also gets So Upset when their scheme is foiled, accidentally or intentionally, by someone else's scheme, as though they themselves aren't scheming at that very moment.

Barbossa's iron balls. I'm sorry, this is the funniest dick joke in the trilogy that defines how many dick jokes Disney can stick in a movie before it stops being PG-13. Jack's reaction really says it all.

rereading this list I see it's quite heavily tilted in favor of Barbossa which I now realize is because I empathize with Barbossa way more than I did as a kid. I too am frustrated to be surrounded by idiots while I'm the only adult around. man just wants to eat his apple in peace goddammit. so he did a little mutiny and maybe some more murder and mayhem and also maybe unleashed a pagan god upon the world. the guy really likes his apples, is that a crime?!?

i feel bad for people who don’t read fan fiction. imagine only having canon
