idk what I'm doing here... just trying to survive ig ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello, ya lovely little thing you! 🤗🥰✨

I'm Heather (but you probably already knew that) and I occasionally make some content! (but like hardly ever...) Mostly I do a lot of mass reblogging (cool art, fandom stuff, pictures of cats, funny little Minecraft people, and all the blorbos) that doesn't really have a theme. My theme is ✨chaos✨ and I also don't know what I'm doing here. We stan piracy, shiny things, drinking water, and aggressive loving on all my favorite people because they are so cool and awesome and are actually the greatest humans ever.

On the rare occasion that I actually make a post, it's usually some weird shower ramble that you are free to ignore cos I probably remembered to take my medicine and then it worked. But on an even RARER occasion, I made art (which you can find under the tag #htw art) or write (which you can find under the tags #htw writes , #poetry)

Now if you're reading this and we've never talked before, feel free to say hello! Chances are I've fast reblogged at like 20 posts from you in the span of three minutes at least once and I think you're so cool and I literally love you but am to scared to say hi to you cos you're just soooooo cool. So, consider this my official invitation to be friends!

If you'd like to see some more of my content, such as more frequent art posting, more art in general, little life stuff, fics, original pieces, and even my red bubble, check out my Linktree!

Anyways, here are three shout outs cos why not!

@susanshinning literally so cool and awesome and perfect and she has a lot of really good fics on AO3 where you can find her under the same name and also we have matching PFPs that I drew

@vampire0fthe0pera also so cool and awesome. He hardly uses Tumblr ever (quite closer to never), but he's also on insta and Wattpad and AO3 i think by the same name. He is writing an deliciously angsty Jason Todd centered fanfic that I am editing! I also drew his profile pic which I am so proud of

Finally, you should totally go check out my fanfic, A Game of Keep Away. If you like found family, hurt/comfort, Varian (tangled the series), Krel (3Below), or Hiro (Big hero 6) then you just might like my fic which you can check out here.

Anyways, that's all the rambling for today! Remember to stay hydrated and idk take care of yourself. Have a lovely day!💧👍✨

Going down the Carpathia and Titanic rabbit hole again.

If you didn’t know, on the night the Titanic sank, it sent out many distress signals. One of the ships that received them was the RMS Carpathia.

The Carpathia was asleep. Her wireless operator, Harold Cottam, had ended his shift and shouldn’t have been listening in. Luckily, he was. He caught a message from Boston, MA stating there was traffic on the wireless for the Titanic. He decided to be helpful and reach out to tell them. He received a distress signal back, and rushed to tell the bridge. They were skeptical, and didn’t really believe him. This is the Titanic, you know? Largest ship, marketed as unsinkable, etc. He rushed the message to the captain since he wasn’t being taken seriously, and woke him up. The captain, Arthur Henry Rostron, after being convinced of its legitimacy, rushed to answer the call.

The Carpathia was 58.22 nautical miles away (107.82km), with a top speed of 14 knots. This put the expected time of arrival 4 hours out.

They arrived in three hours. The top speed reached was about 17 knots. They’d turned the heating and hot water off to make as much steam as possible, and doctors were set to wait for the influx of injured. He sent out a message to the Titanic, telling them they’d be there in 4 hours, and left the airways clear for her distress signals. Going faster than possible in the ship, and dodging the very same ice that had brought the Titanic to heel in the first place, they made it to the site of the Titanic after she had sunk, and saved as many as they could.

To put the speed and effort into perspective, the odds of them reaching the Titanic when they did is like a normal everyday sedan winning an f1 race. The engine was tearing itself apart. Fourteen knots was do or die, last resort speeds. The engineers were covering gauges and physically holding valves closed to keep the pressure needed.

Even the passengers assisted, handing out clothes, food, and warm drinks as the survivors were rescued. The Carpathia decided to bring the survivors to New York City, the original destination. They were speeding there at their original top speed of fourteen knots, and the Carpathia was never able to reach that speed again.

They knew they were going to fail. They knew that they wouldn’t make it in time. The fact that they pushed so hard for so long, nearly breaking the laws of physics to help other people in need has always been amazing to me. There’s something so incredibly remarkable about the sheer desperation they had to help those survivors.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGIE HENLEY

We were [filming Narnia] in New Zealand, completely on the other side of the world from home, and that bond was real – it still is. Every now and then we look at each other like, God, we’re so old. I think me turning 30 has thrown everyone a bit. I invited them to my birthday, and their replies were all basically, How are we here already?

fiction can be really dangerous there might be a deeply tragic woman in there who starts living in your head forever

it doesn't matter to cats what kind of bad week you're going through, they'll come into your room and start doing repeated bulldozer attacks on you

This tweet read me to filth

[alagaisia]

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

[watermelon-converse]

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

[emi--rose]

Hell yeah moon holiday

[hello-delicious-tea]

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

Lookin' great

[glamrockmike]

realizing that the online sphere and especially tumblr is NOT a good sample for ‘what everyone thinks’ is so, so, so good for your mental health and moral OCD. i swear to god. realizing that you don’t have to live your actual life like you’re being hunted for sport because the average tumblr user will hunt you for sport for wording something slightly weird or engaging in the wrong stuff or whatever is so incredible. like no you’re actually not fucked up and evil for not donating or for watching that one indie cartoon or questioning a post that everybody is agreeing with. that’s just tumblrs georg making you feel that way

let's reintroduce "rude" to the lexicon no that person is not evil or morally bankrupt or even your enemy they're just being rude

[deslizada]

man sometimes friendship really is just "I saw this and knew it would give you psychic damage. please respond with agony" and then they do. and it's great

[mooned-knights]

is anyone else annoyed that "ai" encompasses both chatgpt and tools we train to do repetitive tedious work for us. and by the ripple effect of articles like "scientists develop ai to detect cancer early" that make people argue for the merit of chatgpt or become anti-medicine. and by the general state of the world and society

[isuggesteatingtherich]

i have a suggestion

living under a rock is so fun i love watching a movie that’s been famous for decades and being like wow this is so good.. did you guys know about this
