"Une étrange lumière" (Massif du Clergeon, 74-Fr)

so my boyfriend doesn't know a lot about lord of the rings and was asking why it was so hard to destroy the ring and I said it corrupted the ringbearers and made them evil and even proximity to the ring can turn you evil as it did briefly with boromir and after some careful thought he decided that the nine members of the fellowship should each have a super long string attached to the ring and they could drag it behind them from really far so it won't affect them and make Legolas always watch it with his elf eyes to make sure it's okay back there and like ... that might work??? Did he solve it??? I'm so mad.

Han is all “there’s to much Vader in him,” without mentioning that there is too much Vader in Leia too.

Like, Bail Organa, bless his poor poor soul, tried to politician the Vader out of her. He tried SO FUCKING HARD.

But the fact that she abandoned politics to be a General in the Resistance says a lot about her similarities to Anakin Skywalker.

See, people get it wrong. They assume because Luke got the blond hair and the lightsaber that he is Anakin’s child. He’s not. He’s Padme’s.

Leia, though. Leia is very much Anakin’s child. She is the one with the deep anger in her. She is the one who will bring peace to her new empire freedom and justice back to the galaxy whether the galaxy wants it or not. She is the one who commands armies and amasses followers as easy as breathing. She joined the Rebellion while she was in her teens. She is the one with the spirit of a warrior.

Don’t get me wrong; Bail Organa did his damnedest to raise her in the mold of her mother, fighting her battles in the halls of power with words as her weapons. And she was very good at it. But unlike Padme, Leia’s words always had an edge to them, her tone and meaning always a little too sharp, a little too angry.

Peace and mercy are the trademarks of Luke and Padme. Justice and order, obtained by whatever means necessary, are the marks of Leia and Anakin.

#you just know if she had a lightsaber on the death star she would have pulled a tusken massacre on the bridge #tarkin vader the techs everyone #dead as soon as she could reach them

How the throne room scene actually should’ve gone:

“If you will not turn to the Dark Side, perhaps she will.”

“Pffffthahahahaha yeah, okay Dad, let me know how that turns out. Look, the reason I’m here instead of her is because I want you alive and not a cloud of vaporized plastic. You know she strangled Jabba the Hutt with the chain he put around her neck, right? That’s what she does to people who try to control her. Better tell your Emperor you’re not allowed to have any more ideas.”

#this is so true it’s beautiful#I bet Vader almost felt glad every time Luke turned up with the lightsaber when they faced off#Vader was like ‘Oh thank the Force it’s the nice one that got the lightsaber skills’

AND not to mention Leia survived VADER and his DROID OF TORTURE with her mind and attitude intack. Vader’s torture broke Jedi, Vader was the one they called as a last resort to get information out of people. and the droid he used was one of the worst ever created! She survived. She resisted, she didn’t give in, and she did so so gracefully that she still had it in her to tease Luke the moment she saw him in the trooper armor, and then step forward to save Luke and Han’s sorry asses in their escape. She even did something I could only see Anakin do during the escape, and that would be her idea of the trash compactor escape route. A classic wreckless Skywalker move if ever there was one.

Could you imagine if Obi-Wan had survived to meet Leia? The poor old Jedi would have flashbacks to his misadventures with Anakin. A bitter-sweet moment. Yes, if Anakin had never become Vader, Leia would have 100% been a daddy’s girl, and Luke would have totally followed in Padme’s footsteps.

I’d like to know what the first person to put human clothing on a dog was thinking

glumshoe

like were dogs even dogs yet or did someone manage to squeeze a particularly patient tamed wolf into a leather shirt and then howl with laughter as it trotted around the cooking fires dressed like Uncle Urg begging for food scraps

glumshoe

the wolf started running backwards in circles trying to get out of Uncle Urg’s shirt and everyone is laughing so hard that the sleeping children and young mothers and old folk wake and come out of their hide huts and observe First Funny Dog galloping around in the moonlight, and a tradition is born

There was a brief but decisive evolutionary bottleneck of canines that begrudgingly allowed homo-chimps to live after sticking them in a corset.

“Will you flush game for me, Wolf, when I go hunting the wild things beneath the trees?” asked Human.

“I will,” said Wolf, “If only you leave me the bones and scraps of meat from your kills.”

“That is well,” said Human. “And will you use your ears and eyes and nose to guard me while I rest, and warn me when lions prowl too near?”

“I will,” said Wolf, “If only you let me lie in the warmth of your cooking-fires.”

“But of course,” said Human. “And will you do as I command, and follow me wherever I go, and love my children and grandchildren as you would love your own?”

“I will,” said Wolf, “If only you scratch me where my claws cannot reach, and pet me, and heal my injuries when I am wounded.”

“Always,” said Human. “And will you let me dress you up in funny clothes, and dance around, and do little tricks for me to laugh at?”

Wolf hesitated, and eyed Human warily for some time, weighing its choices. “That depends,” it said. “Will you tell me I’m a good boy?”

Human smiled. “The goodest boy,” it said.

Dog wagged its tail, and Wolf was no more.

Capitalism at its best. Some role models we should all consider. I am a fan of Hagen Daz, but after reading this, I need to get me some Cherry Garcia!

They’ve also gone in front of congress to testify that every shitty business’s claims that minimum wage hikes are bad are complete bullshit

“Ah, Mr. Holmes, I am so glad you managed to find and retrieve the book. It’s doubtlessly one of the most interesting of my collection and therefore highly treasured.”

“Not a problem, Mr. … Fell. Obviously, the thieves didn’t recognise its true value. They were after an original 1611 King James Bible and clearly didn’t see that they’d stolen something far more fascinating and unique. Bilton and Scaggs … I always thought this edition was an inside joke of some scholars at the British Library. I didn’t believe it existed until now.”

“You are very well read, Mr. Holmes. This is the true thing indeed, more commonly known as the Buggre Alle This Bible, the first of Bilton and Scaggs’s great publishing disasters. See here, in Ezekiel 48:5 where the typesetter is fed up and wants to leave and spend time in the sunshine? Marvellous detail. Anyway, thank you so much once again. Are you sure you still want to waive your fee? I should very much like to recompense you for your efforts. I have some interesting early books on piracy which I’d gladly offer instead of payment, if you insist on not taking money. One is signed by Captain Blackbeard himself. Your partner Dr. Watson hinted that you might enjoy them.”

“I …”

“Mr. Holmes is delighted. We’ll take them. Thank you.”

“John?”

“Take them, Sherlock.”

“All right. Thank you, Mr. Fell. Oh, by the way, what an interesting specimen of snake you’ve got there. I don’t think I’ve encountered its like before, not even when I was researching snake venoms for a case. Middle-Eastern origin?”

“Erm … yes, something like it.”

“Looks quite dangerous. Are you sure it’s safe to let it roam freely among the bookshelves?”

“Oh, never fear, Dr. Watson, he is quite docile.”

“ssssss”

“Quiet, you, and drink your cocoa. Good bye, Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson.”

“Good bye, Mr. Fell.”
