maidens if you are going to flee dramatically from my castle in the middle of the night once i reveal my true nature to you please leave your candelabra on the little ledge by the portcullis we are running out of them

[neenarchive]

starting to think these maidens are stumbling in soaked through from the rain just to steal my beautiful gowns and homewear are any of you actually lost

[elektrashocktherapy]

At the checkout in Home Goods loading the belt with nothing but candelabras in all shapes & sizes while the cashier watches sympathetically and asks if it’s the maidens again

YOU GUYS IT’S DECEMBER 10TH YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS HAS BEEN IN MY QUEUE SINCE FEBRUARY

[donttwalkaway-deactivated201302]

you have the rest of the day to reblog this

[applejee]

100% my favourite part of the d&d movie was that holga had pit hair. i zoomed the fuck in on that. YES your female barbarian has armpit hair YES she does YES you fucking get it, yes this makes her a million times hotter. good fucking lord

[applejee]

visual for those who missed it or need something to inspire them to watch this movie

[mikkeneko]

i saw this movie and never noticed but GOOD FOR HER   GOOD FOR HER   fuck the stigma that women HAVE to have shaved armpits ffs   she was a badass bitch   it was really refreshing to have a platonic m/f pair   where the woman was the muscle and the man either had to be saved by her or watch her do the fighting   maybe take down one guy while she took down 20   and she didn't feel like 'ooooh girlboss female empowerment for the win'   her strength felt natural it was nice   fucking loved her dynamic with chris pine's character  - by @scarletbirbs

Hilda by Duane Bryers

[badkidgorgug]

More Hilda!!

[themockingcrows]

in this family we love and support Hilda.

[i-am-the-narwhal]

Yes! Hilda!

[luidilovins]

What i love about this artist’s depictions of women is even the sexualized ones the woman is always genuinely happy and enjoying herself. Frolicking or making funny faces, she’s living her life and looking sexy while doing it, not sitting in a sexual pose for the audience’s view.

[squish-this]

I always forget about Hilda and am so pleased when she randomly shows up on my dash. Always makes my day

[theladyjanedoe-deactivated20221]

Hilda gets forever reblogged.

[rightintheghoulies]

Love her. There needs to be more of stuff like this.

She doin her thing and not giving a single solitary fuck.

This is terrible but today when I was playing volleyball outside with some friends one of their children (18 months) was sort of ambling around on his stumpy little toddler legs and so we were all trying to be careful and like not spike the ball onto the baby but then he wandered over to his father, who picked him up bc dad reflexes, and then the ball got passed over to the dad and he sort of had a no thoughts moment and instinctively used his child to smack the volleyball over to the next person. Like he just swung the kid and used his legs like a baseball bat. I'm never going to forget his face of premature regret mid baby-manuever right when he realized what he was doing AND the instant he realized his wife saw it happen. Anyway the baby was fine he didn't make contact with the ball all that hard and he was just mad his dad wouldn't use him as a club again but I had to sit down because I laughed so hard I cried.

A lot of people like my lips. What people? Uh, they’re out there. Do they like your eyebrows too? What’s wrong with my eyebrows?

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES 2023, dir. Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley

Now we have a Plan D if Plan C fails. Isn’t Plan D just Plan B again? Plan B has a stink too.

[aqueerkettleofish]

I am kind of surprised that "D&D: Honor Among Thieves" isn't getting as much [tumblr] love as it deserves. This is my contribution:

Everyone involved-- writer, actor, director, wardrobe, camera, EVERYONE-- understood the assignment.

There is no attempt to apologize for the fact that it's an ensemble fantasy comedy-adventure movie.

The plot is clever without being Too Clever. All of the major twists are well-telegraphed, and while it surprises you in a couple of places, it doesn't try to shock you.

Given that the archetypes of the fantasy genre came to us from Tolkein, Dungeons & Dragons, and Tolken-by-way-of-D&D, you will not need any context for the game and the lore that is not provided by the film itself. If you aren't familiar with the lore, there are no jokes or plot points you will miss.

If you are familiar with the Lore, there are references galore, but they're not fan service, they're the byproduct of the fact that the movie is set in a known location in a richly developed world. For example, despite that the fact that it's set in Neverwinter, at no point do any characters utter the phrase "Neverwinter Nights".

If there must be a negative comparison to the game, it's that no Dungeon Master alive could get a party to stick to the plot that well. They'd have gotten off track at the battlefield and the bard would have tried to seduce the Red Witch. Or everyone would have tried to adopt Themberchaud.

[seananmcguire]

My mother, who understands D&D only as that loud nerd event which takes over the dining room four nights a month, loved the movie.

[undeadcorvid]

A fun game if you're into D&D is to spot every Nat 1 and Nat 20. There's a really funny Nat 1 that the sorc rolls mid way through and it's so fucking funny.

ALSO the website of "practical effects are superior" can have a field day with this movie. There are dragonborn, tabaxi AND arakockra characters that are majority practical effects, not CGI

[odysseusyes]

even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk

[eatsleepcrap]

*straightens calculator*

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As ‘n’ is 4 (number of digits available). 4!/0! which becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three minutes to input all possible codes.

[crashingsunlight]

Unless an alarm goes off if you don’t get it right in 3 tries

[eatsleepcrap]

*straightens calculator again*

Kick the fucking door in

[the-brave-little-blogger]

well ‘technically’ the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people, when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad is obviously a few years old to put it nicely, thats most likley it. 

[everyonesfavoriteging-blog]

some sherlock holmes shit just went down over here

[the-neon-pineapple]

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

Sherlock out.

[perks-of-being-chinese]

woah.

[panicrobot]

it got better

[twistedthicket1-deactivated2022]

and this is why the sherlock fandom could either rule the world or end it….

[ofthefantastic]

Close, but not quite, I think. People will almost always choose a number they can remember. What’s memorable about 0791? Try 0719 - a birthday, 19th of July. That is more likely.

[venatrix26]

Those deductions are great and all, but unnecessary.

The light is green.

The door is already open.

Idk if I’ve rebloged this before, but I’ll reblog this legend again

[masterofhounds]

Smithsonian? I’ve found the quintessential Tumblr and Sherlock fandom post. Yes. I would consider it definitive.

[thornypeach3]

Ahh it’s back.

“And that’s why we have a John Watson”, indeed 😂

[thefangirlofhp]

Legend of a post. 10/10 recommend reblogging.

THE POST OF LEGENDS HAS RESURFACED ON MY DASH

[wrxthswitch]

I’VE ONLY EVER SEEN THIS IN SCREENSHOTS OMG

[the-most-medium-lesbian]

On your dash? I dig for gold like this,,, by looking at my mutual pages.

[lindonleaves]

I’ve only seen this on Pinterest!

[pisshandkerchief-deactivated202]

*gasp* THE SACRED TEXTS!

[pocket-sized-friend]

:O

[kit-and-kitsune]

THIS IS A LEGENDARY POST I HAVE BEEN GRACED BY IT’S APPEARANCE!!!

yesssss

[isa-ghost]

Why did Tumblr stop doing stuff like this, it’s genuinely fascinating, and cute that we include our favorite media in things we do

[maximumsunshine]

Well. Since you asked. I was on tumblr as this post was being built in 2013. The height of superwholock. Which has, since then, been declared peak cringe. So people picked new fandoms to openly love in earnest. Which were also eventually declared cringe. Eventually the youth decided to cut out the middleman, and declared loving anything in earnest to be fully cringe. So it has been a really long time since the day to day users of tumblr have let any fandom create anything nearing the cultural phenomenon that was superwholock. And it is exactly those cultural phenomena that are needed to create posts like this.

So. What happened? Cringe culture happened.

Try and imagine what would happen if this post wasn’t the “sacred texts” only ever seen in screen shots and in pinterest. Try and imagine any current pop culture detective media fandom creating this post today. They’d be slaughtered for being cringe by the time (in this case) Sherlock was mentined.

But because this post is 10 years old and completely broke containment, it’s celebrated when it graces our dashes.

[atlinmerrick]

The cool thing to know about cringe is it need only bother the fools who say something’s cringe. LOVE YER FANDOM OUT LOUD.

Also for those scratching their heads, superwholock = Supernatural, Doctor Who, Sherlock.

And verily I say until you, those three were on absolute fire together a decade ago. Oooo, I miss the burning.

[the-girl-from-another-time]

If Marvel wants to do justice to Peggy Carter, they should not make a Captain Carter movie or show.

Instead, they should give Agent Carter a third season.

Seriously. Agent Carter was an incredible show in every way, and it was cancelled on a cliffhanger with no good reason. The premise of the Captain Carter character is basically “what if Peggy got Steve’s storyline.” Agent Carter, on the other hand, gave Peggy her own story without being defined by Steve and his legacy.

If you really want to do justice to amazing female characters, let them thrive on their own development, depth, and complexity instead of making them simply “the girl version of —,” no matter how badass that version might be. Let Peggy stand on her own two feet, in a piece of media created for and about her, and don’t simply relegate her to part of Steve’s legacy (again).
