Fun fact!! It's cuz your body feels your pulse falling rapidly and is like "I don't know if you're dying or falling asleep and I'm not willing to gamble" so it shoots you up with adrenaline fuel to make you not die™. It's one of my favourite facts
how bout it gets with the fucking program we’ve only been at it nearly every single night for my entire goddam life
so i just finished watching the extended editions of the trilogy which is nearly 13 hrs long and this meme is correct somehow. this is the only line legolas speaks to frodo in the entire series. the only other debatable line is a scene in fellowship where legolas is speaking to gimli but frodo just happens to be near them and he’s cut to for a reaction shot. i wouldn’t really count it though since it wasnt directed at him.
someone already posted this but the kicker is at the end of return of the king where frodo sees the fellowship again and calls out to everyone by name except for legolas lmaooo
PLS i swear i saw this in another version of this post but i can’t find it now 😭
if anyone knows who wrote this scenario tag them so they can have credit asldfjslkf
Oh how I yearn for a simpler time, when a young man would simply give his paramour an intricately crafted wooden spoon to show his affection and ability to provide for their future family, especially if they ever ran out of spoons
It has come to my attention that not everyone knows what lovespoons are.
This is a lovespoon. They’re found in several cultures worldwide, particularly in Scandinavia, but most famously in Wales (that photo is a Welsh lovespoon) and, from at least the 17th century, they were given as gifts by a suitor to his intended lady. They’re supposed to be carved from one block of wood, and decorated with various symbols which have slightly nuanced meanings, all basically a variation on ‘you’re rad, want to get wed?’
Because marriage in poor, rural parts of Wales was often more akin to cohabitation at the time (i.e. you didn’t really have a big ol’ legal ceremony, you just sort of said ‘we’re married now’ and shacked up together) a lovespoon could act as a wedding ring of sorts; you’d put your goshdarn heart and soul into carving it and you’d give it to the dame you sought, and if she accepted the spoon, then you were essentially wed, or at least bound together in a meaningful way. It’s assumed that they were initially supposed to be at least somewhat functional, because people did in fact eat with wooden spoons back in the day, but they’re now purely decorative. And hoo boy, can they be decorative. These are some of the ones on display at St Fagans Museum:
Nowadays, they’re generally mass produced, and tend to look more like this:
Brings a whole new meaning to the sheer romance of spooning, doesn’t it?
I love the double spoon in the last picture.
For when you just need to HORF DOWN SOME PORRIDGE.
45 days into 2021 and I have reached a point that I am happy with - and been able to write out - the 150+ years of a fantasy world come hopeful book series that first popped into my head in 2016 when I thought 'what if fossil fuels weren't a thing' and it just spiralled all over the place from there. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLSVnUClglE/?igshid=1bgxe1isdqzyd
Plot things are happening, and my brain is messy. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPNlGAlRvF/?igshid=txcds6lij45v
I adore that moment when you’re walking and suddenly you just have ideas. You know how to fix that plot hole. You know how that final battle is gonna play out. You come up with the most perfect line of dialogue. You find a way to link point a to point b. You have fine details to enhance everything.
That moment of sheer inspiration, that absolute spark of brain magic, is simply phenomenal.

The world wasn't ready for Megamind in 2010. I think it could be ready now. After seeing the same superhero arc in every Marvel movie, the squandered subversion in expectations from Game of Thrones, the tired consistent revamps of previously done ideas from Disney,, I petition that we just rerelease Megamind in theaters again. No changes at all. Just toss it back in there and let people experience culture and class for the first time in their lives
The fact the Black Mamba is the most deadly snake in the world continues to be hilarious to me
you think you know what an incredibly venomous snake looks like? wrong! it’s this bitch
are you seriously telling me it’s not even black
@dragon-in-a-fez The inside of their mouth is black and shaped like a coffin when open, which makes it very goth and cool, but otherwise they do look like very bland noodles lol
COFFIN WHAT NOW
THIS SNAKE IS LITERALLY BULLYING ME INTO LAUGHING AT THEIR JOKES
people have pointed out that the belly scales on both pics look like bad video game rendering
okay but have you seen the Blunt Headed tree snake??? cause that one is even funnier
it is a spaghetti noodle with a head
Do you guys know about the Arabian Sand Boa
that looks like someone tried to reconstruct a snake from memory
Hi! I’m trying to start a new story and I was wondering how would you build a new character from scratch? Like how would you go about creating them?
There are many different ways a character is conceived. You’ll need one of these things to start with:
name—you heard one that sounded cool to you, either the meaning, the pronunciation, or the ideas it brings to mind when you hear it.
look—you saw or imagined a character with certain physical features or garb, someone new and interesting that you want to know more about.
profession—you’re interested in exploring a certain occupation within a fictional setting and what kind of things might happen during the work day.
lifestyle—this can include profession, but it’s more about who they are (or who they pretend to be) at all hours of the day/night.
archetype—you want to explore a character who is the sidekick, villain, mentor, or some other archetype within a story.
From there you shape them into a three-dimensional person with these aspects (which in themselves can inspire a new character):
family/friends—the people who raised, supported, and cared for them (or didn’t) at different points in their lives and thus affected their personality.
culture—the lifestyle of the community they identify with which can include shared customs, traditions, beliefs, foods, entertainment, etc.
skills—stuff they’re good at, but also stuff they’re bad at because both are important for you to know.
backstory—the combination of big experiences that shaped them permanently and that they might think about on a regular basis; a loved one dying, a successful career, a big mistake, and/or a long-term illness.
experiences—individual events that shaped who they are now, but aren’t really a big part of their life story; that time they had their first kiss, played their first sport, encountered a wild animal, and/or learned to cook their own meal.
traits—inherent aspects of their personality that can be their strengths and weaknesses depending on how they improve on or neglect them; they are very kind and compassionate, but easy to take advantage of and are sometimes overly fussy.
beliefs—their driving force, their purpose in life, the reason they get up in the morning and continue to exist.
personality—the combination of skills, beliefs, and cultural norms that make them an individual based on their experiences and upbringing, as well as inherent traits.
Now, the reader does not want to know all this stuff on the first page. In fact, the reader might not need to know much of it at all. You do, and what you include in your story should be primarily stuff the reader needs to know with just a sprinkling of other character information. Some books might give the MC’s entire biography in the first chapter, but even Charles Dickens knew to save the best details for later.
These bullet points work for all characters, not just your main protagonist(s). A writer doesn’t need to know every detail about every side character, but it helps to think of each one as a whole person. Makes the writing feel more authentic.

“let people enjoy things” is quickly becoming a very dangerous phrase
This is the best explanation I’ve seen.
If you know someone is hurting kids, report them. If you don’t like that someone wrote about kids, scroll down.

underpaid server:
My favourite thing about that show is how he treats servers. It was also the source of some very intense fantasies when I was a barista of him busting into my cafe, calling my boss a fucking idiot, then taking me against the broken dishwasher.
Did you know that when you post something on the internet it will never be truly deleted
world heritage post
ok it kinda looks like shit tho
youd look like shit if you were left forgotten in a beer can for 8 years too. dont be fucking rude
“Nope,” I whisper as I exit out of a fic with no paragraph breaks.
No excuses, folks! Change paragraphs when:
- the “camera” moves - a new character shows up - someone speaks - someone else speaks - a new idea, subject, or topic is introduced - time passes or reverts to an earlier point - the setting changes - the mood shifts - you want to create dramatic effect
this is so so so more reader friendly, people, heed it!

I love how most of us are excited but still kind of cautious about getting too excited. (Waiting for a Netflix confirmation until I go truly batshit lmao.)
just FYI, if this is actually legit, chances are that we’ll see it listed in Production Weekly’s new issue, which should be out tomorrow.
Oh SHIT, it’s legit!!!

twitter user @messsolitude paid the $75 Production Weekly subscription (bless!) and it looks like Gina is not only directing, but she has a CO-WRITING credit on the sequel’s script!
I think I stan Rick Riordan fully if I hadn’t before
He also has said in interviews that the reason percy has adhd and dyslexia is because his son asked why there's no heroes like him. Dude's all ABOUT representation
ALSO, apparently fans have been asking for YEARS for him to do more books based on mythologies from all over the world. However, he had to grapple with the fact that this would involve him writing more and more about cultures and traditions that he knows very very little about.
His solution to this problem?
He talked Disney into giving him his own Publishing Imprint so he can find and promote authors from THOSE cultural backgrounds who want to write those kinds of books.
“ Our goal is to publish great middle grade authors from underrepresented cultures and backgrounds, to let them tell their own stories inspired by the mythology and folklore of their own heritage. Over the years, I’ve gotten many questions from my fans about whether I might write about various world mythologies, but in most cases I knew I wasn’t the best person to write those books. Much better, I thought, to use my experience and my platform at Disney to put the spotlight on other great writers who are actually from those cultures and know the mythologies* better than I do. Let them tell their own stories, and I would do whatever I could to help those books find a wide audience! “
(I haven’t read all of them myself, but the Aru Sha books are particularly good!)
Rick isn't perfect. But damn if he doesn't try, and he does learn too. Also the Tristan Strong books. Those are bonkers good.
