A Magpie's Hoard

A collection of creative inspiration, fandom, and interesting things. Mostly visual, mostly reblogs. Heavy on sewing, other people's art, goth, punk, history, Star Trek, and costuming, but with scattered other elements. Queer in every direction. Grown adult who sometimes shares adult content.

yeah, that helped a bit with the sadness

you can stay indoors all day when the sun is out, and sometimes it's nice like a cool draught from a tranquil spring, but watch out because if you stay indoors for two days in a row while the sun is out you start doing odd gothic literature things, stalking the halls and passages and muttering to yourself and parting the blinds to gaze down at your neighbours with a haunted look before turning away to contemplate your mannequins #yourmannequins. three days and you're basically fucked. you have to throw a towel over your head to scurry as far as the store for milk and people jeer at you like frankenstein's monster.

the thing I love most about how tumblr users use tags is that it’s like what if a social media website had a footnotes system

I remember when I was younger, anytime I watched a movie where the characters have to kill a scary monster/alien, I always thought the act of killing it was intended to be part of the horror. Like there’s this amazing creature that we’ve never seen before, and maybe under different circumstances we could’ve coexisted with it, but it’s trying to attack you and you have to defend yourself, but by destroying it you also destroy the ability to ever understand it and that’s sad and is supposed to make you feel conflicted.

It was not until well into my adulthood that I realized most people do not have complicated feelings about movies where people have to kill a scary alien monster, nor is that necessarily meant to be part of the narrative (unless it very obviously is). They just want the scary thing to die because it’s scary. I don’t have a real conclusion to this I just started thinking about it for some reason.

I always felt I couldn't possibly be upset about dying to an alien monster because proof of otherwordly life is exactly what it'd take for me to die happy

there are four human activities and they are crafting, stories, math, and fucking around. whatever you're doing is at least one of those four.

In honor of Anthony Stewart Head, here’s one of my favorite Giles moments.

RIP Anthony Stewart Head. </3 Every scene he played as Rupert Giles was iconic.

Anthony Head, ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Star, Dies at 72

The actor also had roles in 'Ted Lasso,' 'Little Britain' and the BBC's 'Merlin.'

This scene gets me every time.
