If you are able to protest, do so, be careful for you and your fellow protesters. Remember it doesn’t matter the size of the protest of even if you’re in a small town viability and unity is what is needed. If you’re white, listen, let others speak, and use your privilege to protect those who need it!

The End of Mother

Keladrae ached to the bone and also felt empty. Months passed and nothing could take away the memory of what had come to pass. She couldn’t bring herself to go into the nursery, or look at the beautiful fountain that still danced at her bedside table. She sat in her chair by the fire, lonely in her room. Just her breath and the cracking of burning wood filled the room. She wished it did not.

Were it not for Dani, she would have ended herself long ago. Dani needed her more than ever now. But Dani would come home to no baby brother to love, as Kel had hoped she would. They had won, and the final piece of her lover gone. The enemy danced and drank to the death of a child while his mother now grieved far away in the woods of her beloved country that she fought for.

Kel sat in her chair, letters half finished and scattered on the floor. After a long time of being away, who could she call on when they most likely thought her dead too. They had warned her. Azuriann had told her to stay away from Keto. This was the price paid and she was left penny less twice over. Even after years of the man being dead, they had hunted the child too. She was too complacent and she paid that price too.

Kel reaches a hand into the stacked wood and tossed a log into the flames. If she built up this fire, would it finally take her too?

No, Dani needed her. She would not loose Dani too. Instead, she sat on the cold stone floor and stirred the flames.

Maybe one day she would find the courage to go back to her duties. But today was not that day. She was still dead and empty inside.

If You Believe That There Is Absolutely Nothing Shameful Or Wrong About Being Gay-

REBLOG THIS.

I want to see how tolerant and open-minded our generation really is. 

And prove to my little brother, who is AFRAID that he might be gay, that there’s nothing wrong with him if he is.

You want Tamora Pierce.

“I want a YA book with girls who actually get their periods and that doesn’t ignore the whole subject!”

Tamora Pierce!

“I want a YA book with a girl protagonist who isn’t skinny and flawlessly beautiful!”

I’ve got good news for you, my friend: Tamora Pierce

Nerdy Fact #1434: Wonder Woman was originally based on two women: the wife of creator William Marston and one of his former students that both he and his wife had sexual encounters with. 

(Source.)

[themyskira]

How about you actually name ‘em?

Elizabeth Holloway Marston and Olive Byrne were among a number of women who contributed to the original Wonder Woman, and they’re fascinating people in their own right.

Elizabeth Holloway Marston was a brilliant woman. She earned three university degrees in psychology and law at a time when few women received any tertiary education. She was a successful career woman who assisted her husband with his work and was frequently the breadwinner of the family.

The main reason she was able to continue working after having children? Olive Byrne, who was not simply a casual “sexual encounter”, but the Marstons’ lover and life partner. To enable Elizabeth to work, Olive stayed at home and raised both her and Elizabeth’s children. She also wrote for Family Circle and contributed to Marston’s research.

Elizabeth is credited with pushing her husband to create a female superhero, and after his death she worked hard to preserve his vision for the character, urging DC to employ her as the comic’s editor (she was ignored).

Wonder Woman’s bracelet’s are Olive’s bracelets: Olive was known for wearing a pair of wide silver bracelets, and Marston had these in mind when he envisioned Diana’s bullet-deflecting accessories.

Marston died in 1947, but Elizabeth and Olive continued to live together until the end of their lives.

[hells-will-88]

Wait. Clarification please. Are you telling me that the creator of Wonder WOMAN WAS IN A POLY-AMOROUS RELATIONSHIP?

[themyskira]

Yep! They were in a poly relationship and had four children together, two by Elizabeth and two by Olive.

(And for those who’ve asked about sources, the Marstons’ story is covered in detail in The Secret History of Wonder Woman by Jill Lepore and Wonder Woman: The Complete History by Les Daniels)

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

Wonder Woman was inspired and shaped by not only a man who was incredibly progressive and awesome by todays standards let alone the standards of the day he lived in but also by a fierce, intelligent and awesome bisexual woman

This is one of the many reasons why the ways DC has ruined Wonder Woman in their pursuit of making the book as backwards and heteronormative as possible pisses me off…

[scots-dragon]

Not a fierce and intelligent and awesome bisexual woman.

Two fierce and intelligent and awesome bisexual women. 

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

You are correct :D

[themetaisawesome]

Imagine growing up in that house

“Mom wants to see you.”

“Psychology mom or bracelet mom?”

“Bracelet mom.”

[themyskira]

According to Lepore, the kids called Elizabeth “Keetie” and Olive “Dotsie”!

[themetaisawesome]

That is adorable.

[sevensneakyfoxes]

I have reblogged this before and will continue to do it until the day I die. The origin story of WW comics is as fucking great as the character herself.

[pastel-petticoats]

Fun fact: Olive’s bracelets were a gift from William and Elizabeth, and were basically an alternative to a wedding ring, since she couldn’t legally marry them. Diana’s bracelets, 70+ years later, are a symbol of that relationship.

[brendaonao3]

Another fun fact: There’s a movie coming out about their relationship, starring Luke Evans and Rebecca Hall and Bella Heathcote that was written AND directed by a woman (Angela Robinson)

I’ve been hoping someone would make use of this location! Definitely going to need a valet for lowbies and those who lack flying, but I’m pleased to see such a lovely place in the game get some use outside of an occasional world quest in the raid instance!

Search Underway for Missing Nobles

By Risri Elthron

On Tuesday evening, authorities found evidence of foul play against two nobles traveling in the Highlands. The investigation into the apparent kidnapping of Warlund Blackfyre and Lady Loala Addington has begun.

Lady Addington’s carriage was found overturned with her driver and guard slain by arrows. Blackfyre’s guards were also found by the side of the road dead. Investigators believe the attacks happened within an hour of each other.

Both nobles were en route to the estate of Lady Eve Daniels, Lilydale, when they were set upon. Investigator believe both nobles were taken rather than killed.

The Northern High Council has issued a search and rescue operation. In addition, a substantial reward is being offered. House Addington has also begun its own search for their Lady. Lord Reid Addington has asked for any information leading to his sister’s safe return be brought forth immediately.

The Royal Courier will continue to track this story.

I need your help!!

So, I've been stewing on this for about a month. I've had a lot going on lately and with this, I may need your guys help. Sometime in early April, my parents and my youngest 5 siblings (I'm the oldest of 14, for those of you who don't know) completely lost their house and everything inside it in some severe storms. I don't exactly live close to them, and thus been transporting myself back and forth for the last few weeks between Cincinnati and Northern Columbus, and even the Portsmouth area. Between these three locations, we've been looking for a new home for them to place on the property until we build a perminant home. We've managed to find a trailor to hold them off until that time and we have the funds for the transport and set up saved up. What I'm doing now is setting up a gofundme account so I can get items to put in the trailor to call it home-- things like household items, clothes for the family, hygene products, etc. If you guys could, please pass this gofundme account around on your social medias (if you have them). I would really appreciate it and so would my family. I love you guys as if you're my own family-- better yet, you ARE my online family. I know I can count on you. Thank you.
