Reenactor throws a spear at a drone

[supapoopa]

What a time to be alive.

[tenthcorner]

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)

[kineticpenguin]

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

[brunhiddensmusings]

just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone

[stephendann]

Everything about this post blesses those involved with a +4 on their next Today is Good Day roll

[fromaliminalspace]

a rough translation of inscription on the runestone:

On the seventh day of May in the year of 2016 on hither spot the mighty warrior Ulf hath slain a dragon with his spear.

so yeah, happy birthday to this dragon-slaying event and to it only

[nonlinear-nonsubjective]

It is November of 1893. You have just killed a vampire. Exhausted and worn, you close your eyes and rest.

You wake up. It is May of 1893. You are on a train en route to Transylvania. Your diary says you have had queer dreams lately.

You try to believe it.

(An old woman puts a rosary in your hands. You accept it without question.)

You are a guest in a castle you have never been in before (you recognize every hallway and know without trying that every door is locked). Your host is a man you have never met before (you killed him you killed him you killed him he had turned to dust and there was blood on the snow).

One morning you cut yourself while shaving.

There is nobody behind you in the pocket mirror’s reflection.

You turn fast, and the razor is like a Kukri knife in your hand.

Hey OP hope you don’t mind me making fanart because uhhhh I went a lil feral over this

[gemsandjunk]

my take on the miss piggy/morticia addams sexywoman poll is that while morticia would lose gracefully, miss piggy would 1000% attempt murder over the label and morticia would respect her for it. then theyd go out for tea and gossip together

Hey 911 fans, I heard you like being queerbaited and are currently sad, wanna watch something even queerbaitier that will also make you way way way more sad at the end?

Boy have I got the homoerotic buddy comedy for you!

I recently read that the only requirements to become Pope are that the Pope be 1) baptized and 2) a man.

Therefore, I would like to put forward the person who I think would make the best Pope:

Me.

Yes, I'm Jewish. I'm patrilineal.

My mother is Catholic. I was, in fact, technically, baptized as a baby.

So like. My mother's family was never religious. I went to Sunday school maybe once or twice? But given that Judaism is usually matrilineal, my parents made the decision to baptize me, because they supposed I would be Catholic.

It obviously didn't take because my mom wasn't religious and we were very involved in the Jewish side of my family back then. At a very young age I asked my parents if I could be Jewish and go to Hebrew school. They said, okay, we guess?

For all intents and purposes I was raised in a Jewish household. I never identified as Catholic and have always identified as Jewish. I talked it over with my rabbi, asking if I needed to like actually convert because of the whole baptism thing, and he said nah you're good you're Jewish.

But.

I was still technically baptized.

Which means I am technically qualified to be Pope.

My papal name would be Pope Schlomo and my first act would be to say that god loves queers and abortion and those things are legal now.

[kenna-girl]

So the Catholic church has a new pope, and the news coverage keeps mentioning he's Augustinian. Unfortunately, Dimension 20 lives in my head at all times, so I keep reading this as Aguatunisian.

Now I keeping thinking about this new pope as an aquatic alien from future outer space, but also Pope Riva, preaching her teachings of honesty (through never lying or keeping secrets) and love (among five consenting adults) and being your own boss (which could destabilize the hierarchy of the church in some fascinating ways).

Just look at the Popemobile, get one of those ones that's glassed in on all sides and we could totally fill it with water for Pope Riva to meet the people.

we can finally reveal the truth

Straight guys who use tumblr are the funniest people ever literally how did you end up here

[missingno7007]

Dei hire

[astriiformes]

I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that "How many of tumblr's favorite movies have you seen?" list that's been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn't on here in 2013 or so, but you're telling me you made a list of "tumblr's favorite movies" that doesn't include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.

[astriiformes]

I'm a ridiculous human and genuinely couldn't sleep until I tried my hand at a better, more balanced list -- though of course, I have my own biases when it comes to what corners of this website I've lurked in over the years. For what it's worth, I did consult the last several Years In Review, while also drawing on the fact that I've been here for over a decade. But if there's anything that truly doesn't feel like it should have made the cut, blame my mutuals for putting it on my dash all the time.

(And apologies, but I couldn't seem to find Goncharov among the website's listings)

Tumblr's Favorite Movies

A list of movies that have been extremely popular with tumblr users over the years -- for better or for worse. Apologies that Goncharov

A MUCH more accurate list of Tumblr faves over the years

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

hello fellow non-Black tumblr users. welcome to my saw trap. if you'd like to leave, please name one (1) Black woman author who is not Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, bell hooks, Octavia Butler, or N.K. Jemisin. bonus points if she's published a book in the last five years.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

posted this four hours ago and the notes are. genuinely dire.

special shoutout also to the people who mention Ta-Nehesi Coates and Tochi Onyebuchi who are both men

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

everyone is formally invited to stop misgendering Black nonbinary people any time btw. Janelle Monáe and Rivers Solomon and Akwaeke Emezi are not women.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

hey man you know that "author" just means "person who writes a book" right. it's not exclusive to fiction.

[umactuallyshow]

What's a video game?

Watch the new episode now on Dropout

[janmisali]

interesting. question, what the heck do you mean by "probably wrong"? have you solved art analysis in such a way that an artistic medium is now objectively measurable

[goweninsane]

Meme idea

Photoshop the goose from untitled goose game into the background of a photo of a place where something bad happens, but it’s a photo of before the bad thing happening, so it’s implied that the goose caused it

[goweninsane]

like this

[tomparkerpetermanspiderholland]

@ask-link-the-hylian-champion

[liquid-geodes]

OH IF I HAD PHOTOSHOP THE TITANIC WOULD BE MY FIRST TARGET

[goweninsane]

Say no more

[liquid-geodes]

You are my personal hero I hope you know this

[cacoughphany]

May I present a humble alternative, where the goose is present during the bad thing happening, example:

[liquid-geodes]

Oh my god

Put him in Pompeii

[cacoughphany]

i hope it’s okay that this one is stylized;; our dear time traveler must stay with the times if they must wreak havoc appropriately

[cacoughphany]

@grimmtales13 @timetravelingcacti

Your wish is my command

[liquid-geodes]

DOES THE GOOSE HAVE A FUCKIN KNIFE TOO!?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[cacoughphany]

this knife has caused me more suffering than any amount of editing will in my life

[liquid-geodes]

I’m sure Julius Caesar felt the same fucking way about the knife

[cacoughphany]

Too soon-

[liquid-geodes]

ITS BEEN OVER 2000 YEARS (according to google)

[spacingout]

Perfect timing for ides of march

[cacoughphany]

[liquid-geodes]

Because we hit the one requirement for tumblr fame: Julius Caesar

You know these fucks go ham for the ides of march

[cacoughphany]

over 2000 (according to google) slutty years later and his fanbase still at it huh
