Thereâs really ă need to get ăœ worked up over something as miăłor as this!
ăŻt the ăck is going on
this is my worst nightmare.
Empire Strikes Back (1980).
When youâre told to evacuate because the Galactic Empire just took over your city, you only have time to grab the essentials.
God, this guy is one of my favorite ridiculous EU characters along with Elan Sleazebaggano.
He was basically just a random extra with an ice cream maker, but they gave him an entire in-depth backstory about how he was a member of the Rebellion and that ice cream maker contained a lot of vital data and basically he single-handedly saved the Rebellion that day.
No really.
He has an action figure, of course, as does his ice cream maker computer datacore.
Fuck.
the star wars eu is a wild fucking ride
âAfter the Rebelsâ victory, Hood decided to take it easy.â with a daily supply of fresh ice cream i guess
Epic legends.
Every Star Wars Celebration has the Run of the Willrow Hoods. Dozens of fans cosplay as Willrow and run through the con with their ice cream makers.
^ Please tell me thereâs video footage of this. Do people wait for the stampede and see if they can press one of the On switches without getting gored?
this is the greatest thing ever
Thatâs ⊠a ride.

old school hate mail
Imagine how pissed you have to be to engrave a rock
Ok but there was this guy called Ea-nasir who was a total crook and would actually cheat people ought of good copper and sell them shit instead. The amount of correspondences complaining to and about this guy are HILARIOUS.
Are you telling me we know about a specific guy who lived 5000 years ago, by name, because he was a huge asshole
More like 4000 years ago but yes. Ea-nasir and his dodgy business deals.
And we havenât even touched on the true hilarity of the situation yet. Consider two additional facts:
He wasnât just into copper trading. There are letters complaining about Ea-nasirâs business practices with respect to everything from kitchenwares to real estate speculation to second-hand clothing. The guy was everywhere.
The majority of the surviving correspondences regarding Ea-nasir were recovered from one particular room in a building that is believed to have been Ea-nasirâs own house.
Like, these are clay tablets. Theyâre bulky, fragile, and difficult to store. They typically werenât kept long-term unless they contained financial records or other vital information (which is why we have huge reams of financial data about ancient Babylon in spite of how little we know about the actual culture: most of the surviving tablets are commercial inventories, bills of sale, etc.).
But this guy, this Ea-nasir, he kept all of his angry letters - hundreds of them - and meticulously filed and preserved them in a dedicated room in his house. What kind of guy does that?
[ source ]
Okay, but imagine from the other guyâs point of view. You send angry letters about how Ea-nasir shipped you half a ton of subpar copper, and then 3800 years laterâ
I was reading everything but that last part...
Youâve heard of healing crystals
now get ready for Danger Rocks
Please do not lick any of these
1. Chrysotile
aka Asbestos! It heals lung cancer! heals it from 0HP to full health! it causes cancer do not touch do not lick
okay but this is a cool danger rock, itâs a physical carcinogen. As in, it doesnât poison you into having cancer, it just has little needle-y bits that LITERALLY STIR UP your DNA and break it, and when the cells try to repair their DNA they get it wrong and you get cancer
2. Torbenite
A super pretty danger rock! itâs a uranium ore and releases radon gas for Extra Poison!
3. Hutchinsonite - (Tl,Pb)2As5S9
This danger rock has it all! Lead! arsenic! Thallium! All super toxic! Will legit kill you
seriously donât lick this one, iâm looking at you, fellow geologists
thallium doesnât taste like anything so youâre not even getting data, just poisoned
4. Cinnabar (Mercury sulfide)
Can be a very pretty red color! so it was used to make paint. The paint was super toxic.
In addition to being dangerous to your health, itâs also morally dangerous! someone had to mine it (v dangerous) so even owning it feels unethical
5. Stibnite (Antimony sulfide)
people used to make spoons and makeup and shit out of this, the spoons poisoned people who ate with them. Itâs kinda pretty but not worth dying over
6. Orpiment  (an arsenic sulfide)
Look how pretty it is!!
âIncorrect handlingâ WILL poison you, thatâs fucking arsenic
Honorable mentions:
Malachite, if eaten or⊠you know ;) (warning: nsfw, THat Post) Galena (lead sulfide), donât eat it or break the rock and youâll probably be ok, the dust is the main danger
The reason there hasn't been any reveal of Watson in the Enola Holmes trailers is that the producers know that if they pair Henry Cavill off with another hot guy the only discussion around the film will be about them fucking.
Okay but after seeing this I started doing it too and itâs amazing how many men Iâve run into bc they expected me to move
Gotta try it
I work (and walk) on a college campus. Iâve lost count of how many men Iâve smacked shoulders with.
Recently, I was standing outside my sonâs classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didnât; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadnât leapt out of his manly path.
Now Iâm wishing Iâd leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, âMy Liege!â
I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.
Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where Iâm the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.
Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friendâs medication, and I didnât understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literallyâone guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because thatâs just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.
I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought Iâd had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.
I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I âlooked like a soldier.â Iâm not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.
Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like youâve been sent to murder Captain America.
WALK LIKE YOUâVE BEEN SENT TO MURDER CAPTAIN AMERICA
Itâs called the Murder Strut.
ITâS BACK!!!!!! I was searching for this to show my daughter the other day and couldnât find it. Iâm so glad ITâS BACK!! I will always reblog the Murder Strut!!
A guy on a bike went around me because he could tell I had no intention of moving. Thanks to this post.
One day and I bumped into a guy while doing the Murder Strut and he apologized to me even though I was the one who had bumped into him.
It works wonders.
In case you were wondering, yes you can do this in a wheelchair. Same look in your eyes and let âem know you will run them down. Just picture yourself in a sports car accelerating towards someone with the intention of flattening them.
If thereâs anything more satisfying than watching Abled men leap out of my way when they realize Iâm not moving for them, I canât think of it atm.
Walk like youâve been sent to murder Captain America.
Wheel like youâre gonna win the Indy 500 and donât care how.
Your crutches are short swords; walk like you can see them buried in the bodies of anyone who crosses (in front of) you.

Sherlockâs reverencial silence.
As if this moment wasnât already painful enough, I wanted to relive it from Sherlockâs pov. Look at the reverencial way in which he watches John make such intimate confession. Live those eternal seconds of silence from Sherlockâs perspective and tell me he doesnât treat Johnâs feelings with the outmost respect, patience and understanding. He gives John the time and space he needs, watchful for the right moment to step in to offer him comfort.
The most human human being, indeed.
iâm crying now
This is it. This right here. This is who Sherlock is. Now you know.
How much better this scene is without Mary.
MARCE.
HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO MAKE IT WORSE
Hey no itâs fine donât worry itâs cool Iâm cool

Your landlord is a vampire, so he offers you a deal. You can pay your rent in money⊠or in blood.
This is just the oh no rentâs late how can I make it up to you porn trope but for goths.
This is such an important and genuinely terrifying post. I could completely go off on the rise of anti-science, but for now Iâll just add: it isnât just boomers that get deceived. This is a warning to all of us.
Pay ATTENTION to what you are being told. If you think you cannot be deceived, you leave yourself open to deception. Question, doubt, research research research. Learn about your personal biases, dig up any subconscious cognitive dissonance. Keep an eye on your mind.
ITâS NOT JUST BOOMERS THOUGH
THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE GOOD USE OF POINTLESS GENERATIONAL DIVISIONS WHICH BTW DO NOT *ACTUALLY* EXIST IN MEAT-VERSE. THERE IS NO AGE LIMIT TO BEING RADICALIZED BY SHITTY PRAXIS. YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA.
Susanna and the Elders, Restored (Left)
Susanna and the Elders, Restored with X-ray (Right)
Kathleen Gilje, 1998
Oooh my gosh this is rad. This is so rad.
For those who donât know about this painting, the artist was the Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi.
Gentileschi was a female painter in a time when it was very largely unheard of for a woman to be an artist. She managed to get the opportunity for training and eventual employment because her father, Orazio, was already a well established master painter who was very adamant that she get artistic training. He apparently saw a high degree of skill in some artwork she did as a hobby in childhood. He was very supportive of her and encouraged her to resist the âtraditional attitude and psychological submission to brainwashing and the jealousy of her obvious talents.â Â
Gentileschi became extremely well known in her time for painting female figures from the Bible and their suffering. For example, the one seen above depicts the story from the Book of Daniel. Susanna is bathing in her garden when two elders began to spy on her in the nude. As she finishes they stop her and tell her that they will tell everyone that they saw her have an affair with a young man (sheâs married so this is an offense punishable by death) unless she has sex with them. She refuses, they tell their tale, and she is going to be put to death when the protagonist of the book (Daniel) stops them.
So that painting above? That was her first major painting. She was SEVENTEEN-YEARS-OLD. For context, here is a painting of the same story by Alessandro Allori made just four years earlier in 1606:Â
Wowwwww. That does not look like a woman being threatened with a choice between death or rape. So imagine 17 year old Artemisia trying to approach painting the scene of a woman being assaulted. And she paints what is seen in the x-ray above. A woman in horrifying, grotesque anguish with what appears to be a knife poised in her clenched hand. Damn that shit is real. Who wants to guess that she was advised by, perhaps her father or others, to tone it down. Women canât look that grotesque. Sexual assault canât be depicted as that horrifying. And women definitely canât be seen as having the potential to fight back. Certainly not in artwork. Women need to be soft. They need to wilt from their captors but still look pretty and be a damsel in distress. So she changed it.Â
Whatâs interesting to note is that she eventually painted and stuck with some of her own, less traditional depictions of women. However, that is more interesting with some context. Â
(Warning for reference to rape, torture, and images of paintings which show violence and blood.)
So, Gentileschiâs story continues in the very next year, 1611, when her father hires Agostino Tassi, an artist, to privately tutor her. It was in this time when Tassi raped her. He then proceeded to promise that he would marry her. He pointed out that if it got out that she had lost her virginity to a man she wasnât going to marry then it would ruin her. Using this, he emotionally manipulated her into continuing a sexual relationship with him. However, he then proceeded to marry someone else. Horrified at this turn of events she went to her father. Orazio was having none of this shit and took Tassi to court. At that time, rape wasnât technically an offense to warrant a trial, but the fact that he had taken her virginity (and therefore technically âdamaged Orazioâs propertyâ. ugh.) meant that the trial went along. It lasted for 7 months. During this time, to prove the truth of her words, Artemisia was given invasive gynecological examinations and was even questioned while being subjected to torture via thumb screws. It was also discovered during the trial that Tassi was planning to kill his current wife, have an affair with her sister, and steal a number of Orazioâs paintings. Tassi was found guilty and was given a prison sentence ofâŠ. ONE. YEARâŠâŠ. Which he never even served because the verdict was annulled.
During this time and a bit after (1611-1612), Artemisia painted her most famous work of Judith Slaying Holofernes. This bible story involved Holofernes, an Assyrian general, leading troops to invade and destroy Bethulia, the home of Judith. Judith decides to deal with this issue by coming to him, flirting with him to get his guard down, and then plying him with food and lots of wine. When he passed out, Judith and her handmaiden took his sword and cut his head off. Issue averted. The subject was a very popular one for art at the time. Here is a version of the scene painted in 1598-99 by Carivaggio, whom was a great stylistic influence on Artemisia:
This depiction is a pretty good example of how this scene was typically depicted. Artists usually went out of their way to show Judith committing the act (or having committed it) while trying to detach her from the actual violence of it. In this way, they could avoid her losing the morality of her character and also avoid showing a woman committing such aggression. So here we see a young, rather delicate looking Judith in a pure white dress. She is daintily holding down this massive man and looks rather disgusted and upset at having to do this. Now, here is Artemisiaâs:
Damn. Thats a whole different scene. Here Holofernes looks less like heâs simply surprised by the goings ons and more like a man choking on his own blood and struggling fruitlessly against his captors. The blood here is less of a bright red than in Carrivaggioâs but is somehow more sickening. It feels more real, and gushes in a much less stylized way than Carrivaggioâs. Not to mention, Judith here is far from removed from the violence. She is putting her physical weight into this act. Her hands (much stronger looking than most depictions of womenâs hands in early artwork) are working hard. Her face, as well, is completely different. She doesnât look upset, necessarily, but more determined.Â
Itâs also worth note that the handmaiden is now involved in the action. Itâs worth note because, during her rape trial, Artemisia stated that she had cried for help during the initial rape. Specifically she had called for Tassiâs female tenant in the building, Tuzia. Tuzia not only ignored her cries for help, but she also denied the whole happening. Tuzia had been a friend of Artemisiaâs and in fact was one of her only female friends. Artemisia felt extremely betrayed, but rather than turning her against her own gender, this event instilled in her the deep importance of female relationships and solidarity among women. This can be seen in some of her artwork, and I believe in the one above, as well, with the inclusion of the handmaiden in the act.
So, I just added a million words worth of information dump on a post when no one asked me, but there we go. I could talk for ages about Artemisia as a person and her depictions of women (even beyond what I wrote above. Donât get me started on her depictions of female nudes in comparison to how male artists painted nude women at the time.)Â
To sum up: Artemisia Gentileschi is rad as hell. This x-ray is also rad as hell and makes her even radder.
I love art history.
Iâm reblogging this again to add something that I also think is important to know about Artemisia Gentileschi. Back in her time and through even to TODAY, there are people who argue that her artworks were greatly aided by her fatherâŠ. As in he either helped her paint them or just straight up painted them himself. Hell, there are a number of works only recently (past several years or so) that have been officially attributed to Artemisia because people originally saw the signature with âGentileschiâ in it and automatically attributed it to Orazio. So, not only was Artemisia Gentileschi an amazing artist and amazing historical figure, but I donât want it to be ignored that there are people over 400 years later who still wonât give her the credit she deserves, just because sheâs a woman and obviously women canât paint like she did.
thereâs this book Blood, Water, Paint thatâs about her and itâs honestly so amazing 10/10 would recommend
âFun fact! Baby elephants, much like human babies, arenât able to fully control their trunks because their motor skills havenât fully developed so they plunge their face into the water to drink =)
