new genre concept: soft apocalypse
the world as we know it has ended and mother nature starts taking back whatās hers. there are no zombies or cannibals or murderous bandits. the most valued members of the community are those who know how to garden and farm, sew and weave, treat wounds, work wood or build with bricks, cook from scratch.Ā
people bond together to begin rebuilding instead of killing each other. everyone teaches each other whatever they do know and works together to figure out the stuff none of them know. books become incredibly valued resources because theyāre often the only way to learn critical information. if someone is elderly, disabled, or otherwise unable to work at the same level as most of the community, theyāre taken care of by the others, not told any sort ofĀ āsurvival of the fittestā bs.
as the generations ware on, communities begin expanding into small cities. some of the settlements even find ways to repurpose solar or wind power on a small scale and have electricity in some of their buildings. storytellers wander the countryside telling tales of the old world in return for some hot stew or a place to rest for the night, and the mythos of the new world start to incorporate elements of the past. the only thing that remains constant is that humans survive, and they do it by working together.
MAY I INTRODUCE YOU TO YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU
A CHILL AF MANGA ABOUT A ROBOT LADY RUNNING A COFFEE SHOP DURING THE DECLINE OF HUMANITY WHERE EVERYONE IS SUPER NICE AND HAPPY AND ITāS JUST REALLY LOVELY

Also, isnāt this kinda whatās happening in Detroit? Like, the post-American city, redefining survival and sustainability in an urban environment while the prairie grows up through the buildings
harry potter books rated by the mention of swans
philosophers stone: no mentions. 0/10
chamber of secrets: fawkes is described as the size of a swan. a heart stopping moment. 8/10.
prisoner of azkaban: no mentions. 0/10.
goblet of fire: fawkes again mentioned as the size of a swan. just as exciting as the last time. 8/10.
order of the phoenix: fawkes once more mentioned as the size of a swan. a happy occasion as always. cho's patronus is a swan. a thrilling and heart warming moment. 10/10.
half blood prince: no mentions. disgusting of a book this size. 0/10.
deathly hallows: when neville opens the portrait of ariana the portrait is said to have 'swang open'. When the only mention of a swan is inside another word you know it's a bad read. 1/10.
i just remembered that remus lupin backwards is pronounced nipple summer
omg wut
This is the most important piece of irrelevent information that has ever been brought to my attention.
I want a high fantasy movie where everyone talks with Southern US accents instead of British ones.
The Dwarves though, they can get Minnesotan accents.
āHey HEY Iām castinā here, whatādāyou ā listen, my pop and I serve the Great Tree goinā back six hundred fuckinā years so if you got a problem with our fuckinā magic you donāt fuckinā come down here into our fuckinā grove to gimme shit about it.
āRight? You donāt see me fuckinā goinā into your shitty man-stables and tellinā you how to milk horses, do ya? So instead you come down here, disrespect me, disrespect my pa, and howĀ ābout you stop fuckinā disrespectinā the Great Fuckinā Tree that grew whensāt the world was young and carries all our fatesĀ ān its boughs, okay?
āI said, āokay?ā
āOkay, now fuck off.ā
āOh, ya, my clanās been mining these ranges for 500 years, real nice place, real friendly. We make a mean hot dish, too, donāt cha knowā
āNow, see, our main export may be iron, but y'see, weāre also the home of one of the modern wonders of merchantry and architectureā¦. THE GREAT DWARVEN BAZAAR. Four subterranean levels, all shops, biggest in the land! Full of tourists but weāre all here for a good time and weāre all for boostinā the local economy!ā
a short comic about the twelve dancing princesses!
in the original fairy tale, the princesses drug a whole lot of hopeful would-be princes, fully aware theyāll be executed in the morning. and then they dance all night, every night, so hard they shred their shoes. thatāsā¦always unsettled me a bit. the princesses might not be actively malicious, but theyāre not really kind, either, and theyāre definitely not human.
what always surprised me the most, though, is the guy who sees these casually murderous dance machines and goes āi wanna marry oneā instead of āfuck this shit iām outā. so this is the comic about that other guy.
persephone: whos a good boys?? cerberus: :0 ??? :O ???? :o ???? persephone: youre a good boys!! all of you!! such good boys!! cerberus: :D!!!!!!! :O!!!!!!! :Dc !!!!!!!!!

how did jk manage to write ootp and not come to the conclusion that the only career w any true meaning for harry james potter was as a goddamn professor at hogwarts like how do u write the da scenes and sayĀ ānah heād want to be a wizard copā
#just let him dress in warm sweaters and have tea with neville in the staff room and help first yearsĀ #harry james potter as hogwarts longest serving defense against the dark arts teacher fucking fight meĀ (@batcii)
#but it would be so perfect??? #bc it would help normalize his life so much #like there would just be this generation of kids who are like #āugh who cares that he killed the dark lord he gAVE US HOMEWORK OVER BREAKā #like the beginning of every year there would be the new first years who would freak out a little #but then it would calm down #and most of the students would literally forget #until like clockwork the fifth years would have their history of magic class on the second war #and theyād all show up to DADA looking a little awestruck and everyone would be extra quiet #and harry would give this kind of annoyed sighāexcept itās fake bc he TOTALLY knew this was coming #bc binns is a bro and he totally gives him a heads up every year #and harry wouldnāt have any lesson plans for the day and instead he would just sit at the front of the room and answer everyoneās questions #but otherwise everyone would just be like āprofessor potter!! i canāt get my patronus to work! help me!ā #and like theyād go home at the end of the year or for break and their parentsāwho ARE still starstruck by harry james potter #would pester their kids with questions#and the kids would just be like āmerlin i donāt know?? potterās such a huge dork you should hear him talk about proper wand movementsā #but they would all love him #and he would feel safe and normal and utterly accepted #AND I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE (via @cinematicnomad)
Not to mention it would be an ultimate Fuck You to Voldemort, who put a curse on the teaching position in the first place.
Like, Jo, I donāt want to tell you how to do your job, but COME ON
I already queued this but also, you do this, but still have Ginny become a famous Quidditch player. Imagine the first time Harry gets calledĀ āGinnyās husbandā beforeĀ āthe boy who livedā orĀ āthe chosen one.ā Imagine how fucking pleased heād be.
Imagine the first time a student comes up to him looking starry-eyed and Harryās thinkingĀ āOh noā because he doesnāt want to talk about Voldemort or the war but instead this little eleven year old is likeĀ āARE YOU REALLY MARRIED TO WEASLEY FROM THE HOLLYHEAD HARPIES???!?? WHATāS SHE LIKE?ā and heās likeĀ āoh thank godā because he could talk about Ginny all day.Ā
Yes. Good.
Places the Gems are Banned From
Steven: all of Mr. Smileyās businesses, plusĀ dominos and pizzahut since he orders from them both only to hold the delivery peopleās hands and singĀ āwhy canāt we be friendsā
Pearl: every grocery store in a ten mile radius, Steven wanted chicken for dinner, so he was getting chicken, step away from the poultry Susan
Garnet: any fusion cuisine restaurant (a fusion! Of Texas & Mexico!), she gets excited and punches the waiter, tips them 90% though so they let her back in
Amethyst: every McDonalds, most of Canada, the local park, junk yard, petting zoo, yahoo (the website). Should probably stop morphing into sexy naked old ladies with dog heads to freak people out in the Barnes and Noble too
Peridot: the local library for yelling swear words when she discovered human vocabulary in books. Clod was just the beginning of her reign of terror.
Lapis: hijacked an entire Zamboni- banning her from Times Square in Empire City. Walmart has a picture of her with an X across her face.
Jasper: doesnāt know what a store is, doesnāt know what ban is, still canāt go onto The University of Toronto campus- they have a sign up.
Rose: the zoo. She got caught collecting their lions.
The Rubies: earth.

Can you tell me why Frodo is so important in lotr? Why can't someone else, anyone else, carry the ring to mordor?
but someone else could.
thatās the whole point of frodoāthere is nothing special about him, heās a hobbit, heās short and likes stories, smokes pipeweed and makes mischief, heās a young man like other young men, except for the singularly important fact that he is the one who volunteers. there is this terrible thing that must be done, the magnitude of which no one fully understands and can never understand before it is done, but frodo says me and frodo saysĀ I will.
(when boromir is thinking of how he can use the ring to defend gondor, when aragorn is thinking of how it brought down proud isildur, when elrond is holding council and gandalf is thinking of how twisted he would become, if he ever daredā)
but then thereās frodo, who desires nothing except what he has already left behind him, and says, I will take the Ring.
it is an offer made out of absolute innocence, utter sincerity. It is made without knowing what it will make of himāand frodo loses everything to the ring, he loses peace and himself and the shire, he loses the ability to be in the world. Itās cruel, the ring is cruel, it searches out every weakness you have and feeds on it, drinks you dry and fills you with its poison instead, the ring is so cruel.
and frodo picks it up willingly. for no other reason except that it has to be done.
(the ring warps boromir into a hopeless grasping dead thing, the power of the palantir turns denethor into an old man, jealous and suspicious, it bends even saruman, once the proudest of the istari, into a mechanised warlord, sitting in his fortress and bent over his perverse creationsāall the best of intentions, laid waste)
but thereās a reason gollum exists in the narrative, which is to showāwell, to show what frodo might have been. because even as frodo grows mistrustful and wearied, as the burden of this ring grows heavier and heavier, he is never gollum. he is gentle to gollum. he is afraidāgod frodo is so afraid for 2/3 of these books he is so tired and afraid, but he keeps moving, he walks though it would pull him into the ground, because he asked for this, he said he would.
someone else could have carried the ring to mordor, I suppose. the idea of a martyr is not dependent on the particular flesh and blood person dying for some greater purpose. but such a thing has to be chosen, lifted onto your shoulders for the right reason, the truest reasons, and followed into the dark, though it would see you burnt through and bled out.
I will take the Ring, though I do not know the way.
#the older I get the more defensive I become of frodoĀ #because frodo was whole and pure and unthinking and he did this terrible necessary thingĀ #thinking of nothing except that it had to be doneĀ #and that is so hardĀ #in the worldĀ #that is so muchĀ #that is a heroās burdenĀ (via notbecauseofvictories)
well someoneās asking the real questions
