Krampus is a beast-like creature from the folklore of Alpine countries thought to punish children during the Christmas season who had misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards well-behaved ones with gifts. Krampus is said to capture particularly naughty children in his sack and carry them away to his lair.

Alternative to the tired old wizard-with-a-sugar-daddy interpretation of the patron/warlock relationship in Dungeons & Dragons:

Clueless boss and long-suffering employee, whose powers are basically the magical equivalent of pilfering office supplies for personal use

Scheming master and duplicitous apprentice who are totally open about their loathing for each other and are keen to see who betrays whom first

Bureaucratic devil and soul-peddling diabolist with a contract a mile long, each honestly believing they’re getting the better of the other

Glowering quartermaster and loose-cannon operative, whose record for getting results just barely justifies the expense of employing them

Indifferent parent who pays their estranged offspring’s allowance like clockwork but otherwise prefers to deal with them as little as possible

Vast, slumbering god-monster and amoral parabiologist who knows which spots to poke with a stick to provoke particular autonomic responses

tfw correcting misinformation is written off as mansplaining

[darwinquark]

tfw when idiots on tumblr who know jack shit about thermo assume the dude is ‘correcting misinformation’ when actually he’s dead ass wrong. ‘Spontaneous’ is a scientific term - it means a reaction with a negative Gibb’s free energy, i.e. a reaction that will occur without an external energy input, i.e. water boiling because of low atmospheric pressure. Spontaneous is absolutely the correct term for what she’s observing, and that is ‘simple thermo’, and this is ‘correcting misinformation’.

Have a nice day.

Tolkien started rewriting the Hobbit in the style of LotR, but what I really want is the Silmarillion in the style of the Hobbit. 

[lintamande-reblogs]

In a hole in the fabric of the universe there lived a god. 

Now, this was not one of those minor gods of bedtime stories or petty wars for heaven; this was the One God, all-loving and all-knowing, who created the world – only he hadn’t created the world just yet, which is why he was sitting in a hole in the fabric of the universe.

You made a Pratchett

[gentlekirk]

“I coined the word eucatastrophe: the sudden happy turn in a story which pierces you with a joy that brings tears (which I argued it is the highest function of fairy-stories to produce). And I was there led to the view that it produces its peculiar effect because it is a sudden glimpse of Truth, your whole nature chained in material cause and effect, the chain of death, feels a sudden relief as if a major limb out of joint had suddenly snapped back. It perceives–if the story has literary ‘truth’ on the second plane–that this is indeed how things really do work in the Great World for which our nature is made.”  – J.R.R. Tolkien

Okay, why is Gritty a antifa symbol? I love it, but I'm just curious behind the story

Oh, are you in for a TREAT!  Sit back now and let us explain it as we understand it:The world welcomed what has to be the most city-appropriate sports mascot in history when the Philadelphia Flyers introduced us all to Gritty on September 24th.  While the upper crust clutched their pearls in shock and called Gritty “them most terrifying mascot in the NHL”, anyone from Philly or who’s been to Philly or watched an episode of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia understood that Gritty embodied all that is the City of Brotherly Love in one deranged orange package. 

above: from Gritty’s first tweet.Besides Gritty, Philadelphia is also home to some legendary antifa crews like Philly Antifa + a decades-long history of fucking nazis UP!  So, with Trump threatening to visit town on October 2nd, local antifa drafted their new homie with this banner:

That’s all it took.  A couple of Philly antifa + a Gritty banner + social media.  This particular photo spread like wildfire on Twitter (which our own collective would like to take some credit for!) and by the next day media outlets like The Daily Beast were reporting that Gritty was antifa!  Less than a week later, the motherfucking Wall Street Journal ran a boo-hoo column crying about Gritty being antifa!  The icing on this whole delicious cake came about three weeks after Trump was unwelcomed to town when Philadelphia city council issued a formal resolution welcoming Gritty to town that also recognized him as having “been widely declared antifa!” The next thing you know, barely a month after Gritty’s first appearance, and maybe 20 Proud Boys get run out of town by 1000+ Philadelphians carrying homemade Gritty antifa signs and banners:

cosplaying Gritty:

and chanting “WHOSE STREETS? GRITTY’S STREETS!” And that, friend, is how Gritty became antifa.P.S. Peppa Pig is an anarchist!

[runcibility]

Let’s be honest about the aesthetic as well … one of the reasons Gritty is both terrifying and compelling is that he looks like he was made from leftovers at the mascot factory. Like some kids went dumpster diving for scraps, and made themselves their own creature that came to life from their wishes.
