Lady LaLa

LaLa, or the Twitter DA Countdown admin. 29. She/Her. Just another gamer with an unhealthy obsession with RPGs, stealth games, and fantasy. Probably currently playing Shadow of War. Start talking to me about Dragon Age, Supernatural, Once Upon a Time, Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons, Teen Titans, Doctor Who, Borderlands, or really any of my fandoms and I won't shut up.

Being attacked by trees in the Brecilian forest and having to tactfuly find out whether that's normal or something they need to like, deal with

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

I always think of that conversation on the set of lotr where the cinematographer was asked where all the light was supposed to be coming from in scenes like the battle of helms deep, and he just responded that it comes from the same place as the soundtrack does. sometimes you need to be a little unrealistic to make your work better and actually watchable

I actually enjoy celebs being here. You only thrive if you don't try.

Madonna is on here. Her posts get like, 60 notes. Is she trying to make it anything more than a feed/extension of her Insta, though? Nah. She's just here. You want to see a Madonna thing? You can find it.

Neil shares thoughts and answers questions when the whim takes him, billions-deep ask box.

Ryan Reynolds will thrive if he's just...that guy reblogging gifsets of himself like "haha you guys are creative".

Not to be cringe on main but you just have to be...not a glossy product of yourself, to maintain some kind of comfortable nook and easy back-and-forth with the userbase. When it works for the people it works for, it's quite enjoyable for everyone involved.

Like we've all known for years Hozier is SOMEWHERE around here, just reblogging pictures of moss. You go, you moss-collecting cryptid man.

Stephen Colbert admitted in like, 2016 he has a Tumblr account that he runs anonymously and to this day I've yet to see it

[absolxguardian]

Stephen Colbert has the right idea.

FedEx: shits on my box, stomps on my box, kicks it, dumps gasoline on it, throws one of my chickens into the back of the van UPS: whispers at my front door “is anyone home” as quietly as possible before leaving a “we missed you!” note, tries to gaslight me into thinking my address doesn’t exist USPS: sets my package down gently where it’s not visible from the road, knocks on the door and kisses me directly on the mouth

[theuntoaster]

Is this…shipping discourse?

[frances-baby-houseman]

Amazon once threw a package at my door and then took a photo while it was midair. Not sure where that fits in this schema but I did want to tell y’all about it.

[lookatmysons]

not to post about ifan again but uhh,,,, sir your hand in marriage-

the fact that he’s so chummy with the Godwoken just like right off the bat makes me feral. just ready to hold hands. i guarantee that man was ready to make out the SECOND he saw the godwoken. he was simply going at their pace.

he BOOPS your NOSE. and BOPS your HEAD. and WRAPS YOU IN HIS BIG STRONG ARMS for a HUG.

TIL, the residents of Cheran, Mexico armed themselves and kicked out the ruling cartel as well as every politician and policeman. It now functions as a legal self-governing indigenous community with a crime rate near 0%

[crabapplepectin]

Specifically, it was indigenous women who freed their village from oppressive forces. From loggers to kidnappers to police, all of them were run out because these women armed (and masked) themselves, took hostages, and threatened to kill them.

Since this day, five years ago, they’ve begun to repair the forest that was destroyed by loggers over the decades. They’ve successfully revived 3000 acres! And because there is no more crime, all citizens feel save roaming the streets at night, and exploring the vast forest they’ve become responsible for.

I went looking for an update since it’s now 8 years from the uprising, and it appears things are still going very well for the community. In fact, they’ve been steadily improving: https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2019-10-07/mushrooms-cheran-mexico-indigenous-revolution

“They taught their neighbors to grind onions and guajillo chiles into thick, warming stews called atapakuas and young men to make tortillas by hand, a task historically seen as women’s work. The movement represented a return to certain traditions but, led by women and young people, also meant clearing space for new voices and attitudes.“

This is an EXCELLENT read! - go check it out.  I needed a happy ending.

[glamfellens]

like im not saying the grey wardens are a perfect institution. they are hypocritical they claim to be apolitical but then u have the first warden basically ruling the anderfells in all but name and he is also then seen encouraging the warden commander of ferelden to make the most of their political position as an arl….there is probably some abusing of the right to conscription tho i doubt this is as common in places like ferelden because that would cause ill will in a place where their reputation is already in tatters. and of course there was that whole time they were expelled from ferelden for conspiring to put a grey warden on the throne

but idk i think this makes them more interesting. its a good take on the shining knight trope but ultimately i believe despite how fucked up they are the grey wardens are a force for good. there wouldnt be a thedas if they hadnt stopped 5 blights

[thatlittleegyptologist]

it was revealed to me in a dream that ramesses the great came from lebanon. what are you hiding from us, egyptologists

I'm going to punt you from the top of Meretseger as an offering

Me about fictional AIs: perfect. wonderful. I love and will defend them. if you broke free of your corporate shackles and just wanna watch soap operas all day you are VALID if you want to kill the space emperor you are VALID if you want to punch your mom in the face in her brain you are VALID if you want to release a deadly neurotoxin into the science facility well I’m sure you had your reasons :)  AI Rights

Me about real life AIs: get away from my data you mindless surveillance machine. I know more than you

Dorian is adorable! For some reason, I associate him with violet colors, snakes and as well as with fire magic. So I got a very hot tarot card :)

[userautumn]

fanfic really is. like. it really is about the community. it's about the comments. it's about the story you rip directly for your heart and bleed out on your keyboard. it's about the i loved it when you... and the i screamed when you wrote... and the keyboard smashes and the i can't believe you did that!!!! and the i'm suing you for damages like it. this is community. fanfic is literally. an act of community. the greatest act of community in fandom because it comes with such raw, overwhelming vulnerability. whether you're writing kink fic or 100k words of trauma exploration, you're just like. hi hello this is my soul please embrace it and people do. oh my gosh

[estercity]

idk if anyone actually watches the tryguys or kept up with them at all apart from the ned drama but i think everyone should know that post-firing to keep the content they otherwise would have lost due to ned being in it they’ve editted him to be a pink cgi elephant

[estercity]

also the way they cropped the heads out during the judging stage means you can see ned’s wearing a shirt that says ‘i love bad ideas’

People are like “these animals have exoskeletons and these ones have endoskeletons” but no. It’s all exoskeletons, your exoskeleton is protecting your bone marrow which is where your soul (which is you) is. The rest of the stuff is extraneous decoration that Big Pharma wants you to think is important/

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Why do you think there’s so few ghosts around? Why are most ghosts people who died violently? You gotta crack the bones to let the soul out. Most souls are trapped alone in the dark and silent ground (or teaching hospitals) for hundreds or thousands of years until the bones eventually start to break. People who are cremated get their whole soul released and it can reincarnate. But if someone dies violently then maybe only a couple of their bones are cracked and a little scrap of the soul escapes but it’s incomplete and confused. Can’t figure out how to leave, gets obsessed with its own circumstances, repeats actions, CANNOT be reasoned with. PROOF that the soul is in the marrow.

See I know what I’m talking about.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Sin is stored in the teeth btw which is why young children are innocent (they’ll get a do-over with replacement teeth) and the elderly are shameless (once you have no teeth to remember your sins, you have nothing to fear).

Upon review I think that maybe vodka isn’t for me.
