[xxcodswag420yolo6969gamergurlxx]

the pope reaffirms his dominance over all the bishops by flaunting his hefty and intricate catalog of church based party tricks. what the media won’t show you was his 15-minute collection plate juggling routine.

Here is a link to watch it free online with English subtitles.

Just as a warning, it is a little violent, some horses are killed during the battles, and there is a scene where Wentai cuts open his wrist. It is a very good movie, I just finished watching it and would recommend everyone watch it.

SOME MORE AWESOME THINGS I LOVED FROM THE HP FANDOM BACK IN THE DAY

- between 1999 (PoA) and 2003ish (OotP) there were so many cool/ridiculous things about fandom that have been effectively lost to time and canon and i miss some of these things… for example

-literally 80% of everyone thought that Lily was gonna be a slytherin before it was specified. we LOVED it man, like, oh my god, what was harry gonna do when he figured out his own awesome mother was a slytherin who had defied voldemort

- the old fandom wank with cassie claire and all that shit was amazing guys look it up. (that’s the old fanfic author who writes the series about draco and ginny being in love, city of bones, now)

-oh my god the neverending war between the harry/hermione harry/ginny & draco/hermione shippers was AMAZING

-everyone used ff.net & LJ. then they all used fictionalley. these were the dark times before Ao3

-SIRIUS AND REMUS WERE BENT AS FRICK FOR EACHOTHER. FANDOM WENT INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE AT THE ‘JOINT CHRISTMAS PRESENT’ do you old timey wolfstar shippers remember that??!??!! good times. we were all CERTAIN jkr  put that in there on purpose to give us some lgbtq representation we had so much faith in her

-in fact we thought about a BILLION characters were lgbtq+ and a ton of us were sure that jkr was gonna make harry some non-straight sexuality because of his confused grief-fumbling with cho. we had a LOT of faith in jkr and we were convinced she was gonna bring the represenation

-speaking of that, pretty much the only character we were sure was hetero was dumbledore. he was in love with Prof McG. awwwww. i mean grindelwald

-POC harry headcanons abounded… this era is where i got my headcanon that harry’s dad’s family in from India and i’ve kept it ever since

-seamus was hot an’ got around a lot

- lucius malfoy was the literal best humorfic character ever. and he always was fucking hilarious which was pretty sweet

-lots of snape/lucius shipping which i didn’t care about but again made for hilarious humorfic stuff

-snape was pretty much camp as fuck. of course this all got ruined now that he’s the ultimate whiny friendzone guy (which i still resent the FUCK out of btw i wanted him and lily to be a brotp that split when he got super racist and she started shagging his bully but who cares what i wanted) and he was soooo well dressed. and din’t look a bit like alan rickman. in fact, every one of the marauders era people was pretty much in their thirties. snape in vera wang. snape in designer women’s apparel. rockin that shit to the nth degree. SNAPE I MISS THE OLD SNAPE

-fuck how could i forget about campy voldemort (dragon tamer era, man-bag toting voldemort) he was the BEST- and we all had no idea what he was really gonna end up LOOKING like when PoA came out so the speculations were HILARIOUS

-everyone forgot that the canon series was currently taking place in the early 1990s and in fanfic we stuffed everyone into awful late 90s/early 2000s fashion. god it was so bad. this is where ‘draco in leather pants’ comes from but really it was like ‘draco and harry and everyone else except ron is from N’sync now and they dress just like that and everyone got their hair frosted yesterday”

-slytherins were Not All Bad but they were all Extremely Sexually Knowledgeable

-blaise zabini was often a girl

-Percy Weasley was a character that a lot of people actually cared about and remembered

-it was the best of times and the cheesiest of times, it was a land before horcruxes, it was a time without ‘always’, it was ‘the war is gonna be SO MINDBLOWINGLY HUGE AND GO ON FOR LIKE, LONGER THAN LoTR’ and ‘well, at least sirius and remus can take comfort in one another’…. it was the age of guns n’ handcuffs, it was the age of ‘marriage spells are forever’… it was good times, guys ♥

Blood Lamp

Mike Thomspon created this lamp that uses blood to create light. The lamp contains luminol, a chemical that reacts with the iron in blood and creates a bright blue glow. To use the lamp you must first break the glass, then you must cut yourself on the glass, and finally you let your blood drip into the activating solution and it lights up.

His reason for creating this blood lamp was to get people to rethink how they use energy.

“It kind of triggered this thought in my mind, that if energy somehow came at a cost to us, then maybe it would make us think differently about the way we use it.”

Horror Short Films

Some of these short films may contain material that may be sensitive to some people. Watch at your own descretion.

Here we go, in no particular order.

1- EXIT Based on the short story by Harry Farjeon, this short film written/directed by William Zimbler is about a man who demonstrates a very unsettling “trick.” It stars Julian Glover (“Game of Thrones”, “The Empire Strikes Back”).

2- Playing with the Devil A short horror film based on the Japanese ritual of Hitori Kakurenbo or “One Man Tag” Terror ensues as the three sisters find out why they shouldn’t conduct such rituals

3- No Through Road Based on the Clifton Bunny Man urban legend, this found footage style short is about four 17 year old boys were found dead in their car at an abandoned farm, 10 miles from their hometown. This video contains the unedited footage from the camera belonging to one of the boys, also found in the car.

4-Lights Out David Sandberg won “Best Director” for the Who’s There film challenge for this unsettling 3 minute short. I suggest watching with your lights turned off.

5- The 3:07 Project The Conjuring’s production team put on a one-minute horror film fest called The 3:07 Project, so named in honor of the “devil’s hour,” when the movie’s most notable demon action happens. Vice and The Conjuring’s team invited four directors to make a 60-second film inspired by the “devil’s hour.” The video linked about is what the end result was.

6- 2 AM: The Smiling Man This film is based off of a story on the subreddit Let’s Not Meet. A man takes a late night stroll and encounters an unsettling stranger. The video and story both do a great job of taking something as comforting as a smile and turning it into something sinister.

7- Mama The short film that inspired Guillermo del Toro’s horror movie of the same name.

8- Alma This animated short is about a little girl and a creepy doll shop. One with a great ending.

9- Maniac A film crew follows two serial killers documenting their exploits. Directed by Shia LaBeouf and starring Scott Mescudi and Chris Palko.

10- There’s A Man in the Woods Another animated short film. This one is about a teacher who deals with a boy spreading false rumors around school. Oh, and it all rhymes.

What they don't mention about #growingupwithstrictparents:

- The resentment that begins to build up and damage your relationship with your parents because your missing out on being a kid.

- The self destructive tendencies that develop when you get your freedom.

- Extreme Behaviour that can be dangerous because you feel as if you have to catch up on all the life you have been missing.

- A constant sadness that your never going to live life enough. 

- Developing anxiety over doing things as simple as riding the bus.

- Massive issues with authority. 

- Fear of commitment because you feel as though it is going to tie you down and take away from your freedom again. 

etc…

Feeling like you’re useless when you’re not doing something productive.

[sneakymedulla]

never being able to stand up for yourself, because of your inherent fear you will be severely punished - even if you are in the right

feeling you are never right, even if you are

caving easily to abusive situations, because you grew up learning how to be controlled, that it was “wrong” to exercise power, that it was “wrong” to defend yourself, and not knowing anything about self-respect or having self-esteem

second-guessing yourself nonstop

hiding your entire life from your strict family - even if it means they go to their deathbeds not knowing what has happened to you, because it will just mean you earn only their disapproval or disgust.

non-stop self-hate

non-stop paranoia

[thewikigirl-blog]

-feeling like you have to “prove” yourself

-never feeling good enough

-developing insecurities that eventually grow but stay hidden because you’ve been told that maybe asking a question a few times extra just to be sure everything’s ok is “weird”

-being afraid to make friendships, reach out, or go out because your afraid of doing something wrong

-always being afraid that someone is mad at you

-getting criticized for years on end then getting questioned on all sides as to why you’re so negative about yourself
