Usher III

"...For we are bleak castles on midnight mornings, we are blowing wind webs and scuttling spiders, and we are doors that swing unoiled and banging shutters banging, and we are darkness so vast that ten million nights of darkness are held in one braincell. We are buried hearts in murdered bedrooms, hearts glowing under floorboards. We are clanking chains an gossamer veils, and vapors of enchanted and long dead and lovely ladies on grand castle stairs, afloat, windy and whispering and wailing. We are the Monkey's Paw, and the catacomb and the gurgling Amontillado bottle and the mortared brick, and the three wishes. We are the caped figure, the glass eye, the bloodied mouth, the sharp fang, the veiled wing, the autumn leaf in the cold black sky, the wolf shining its white rimed morning pelt, we are the old days that come not again upon the earth, we are the red wild eye and the sudden instrument of knife or gun. We are all things violent and black. We are winds that keen and sad snows falling. We are October, burning down the lands into fused ruin, all flame, all blue and melancholy smoke. We are deep frozen winter. We are monumented mound yard, we are the chiseled marble name and the birth and death years. We are the tapping awake coffin and we are the scream in the night."

REMINDER: You never grew too old for “Reading Rainbow”.

"Reading Rainbow” grew up with you and just changed its name to “Levar Burton Reads”, that’s all.

And I mean, episode 7 is a Neil Gaiman short story, so double win.

Griffin buried his gays, made sure they were watered regularly and got plenty of sun, and with love and tender care they flourished and sprouted into badass lesbian warrior dryads.

This. This is what you come back on tumblr for

[madwizardofmars]

First, don’t knock the pterodactyl shrieking. Some emotions can only be expressed through the cries of long-dead reptilian beasts. Second, I’m pretty certain there’s a law or something explicitly stating that tumblr exists for the sole purpose of letting people shout at the void when they get excited about stuff (including 2 hour long podcast episodes).

Honestly, comic book writers have gotta start using their characters for more current events commentary. 

Tell me about Superman’s experience as a refugee and what he feels or does when the US tries to close its borders. 

Tell me about Batman’s gun control agenda and how Bruce Wayne goes to rallies to tell the masses how he had to see his own parents murdered. 

Tell me about Wonder Woman being a proficient diplomat, talking to leaders all over the world, stopping wars and taking no shit. 

Tell me about Tony Stark hating politics and trying to save the world and environment and protecting those more vulnerable and being an anti-trump figure. 

Tell me about Steve Rogers taking no shit from facists, racists and homophobes because he didn’t fight the goddam nazis so that some biggots could try to repeat history’s mistakes all over again. 

Tell me about Natasha Romanoff strongly advocating against child soldiers and human traffic and senseless cold wars.

THIS

IT’S WHAT COMICS ARE MEANT TO BE GODDAMNIT 

What’s the point of having long-standing, serialized fiction about fundamentally moral people if you’re gonna put them in a vacuum???

[witchofeindor]

So I found this cool website for learning ancient languages

go wild

[hot-firebender-archive]

holy fuck

[twilight-blossom]

I just did a quick perusal of the Coptic resources on this site, and it has all the resources I’ve personally found worthwhile and then some. These are resources that took me months, if not years, to discover and compile. I am thoroughly impressed. The other languages featured on the site are:

Akkadian

Arabic

Aramaic

Church Slavonic

Egyptian (hieroglyphics and Demotic)

Elamite

Ethiopic (Ge’ez)

Etruscan

Gaulish

Georgian

Gothic

Greek

Hebrew

Hittite

Latin

Mayan (various related languages/dialects)

Old Chinese

Old English

Old French

Old Frisian

Old High German

Old Irish

Old Norse

Old Persian

Old Turkic

Sanskrit

Sumerian

Syriac

Ugaritic

For the love of all the gods, if you ever wanted to learn any of these languages, use this site.

[tuiliel]

Likely helpful for various recon-oriented polytheists.

YE OLDE HIGH GERMAN

[scrubdaddydippedinliquidnitrogen]

Wow

[libraryscarf]

I don’t have a ton of headcanons that I’m strongly attached to, but one I will defend until death is that Ed is often accidentally called “Mr. Rockbell” by tons of people in Amestris because so many of them know him through his wife, the amazing and peerless automail mechanic.

[medgalinprogress]

And he’s just standing there going, “YES I’M MR ROCKBELL LET’S TALK ABOUT MY AWESOME WIFE ISN’T SHE GREAT?!”

[madwizardofmars]

So basically what I’m hearing is Ed is now Mr. Hughes, complete with a collection of photos in his pocket to show off to anyone who engages him in conversation.
