₊⊹ Hi! You can call me Maia. First thing to know about me is that I am Louise de Lorraine-Vaudémont’s biggest fan. Sources being that there’s nobody else posting about her on this whole website!!! Currently really into 16th-century French history in general, War and Peace/Great Comet, Poldark (2015), and (though I don’t post a lot about it) Revolutionary Girl Utena. Having a bit of a spell with Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth. Mad (as in perpetually angry) about Reign (2012). Also I fell through the Pentiment trapdoor and I’m not trying to get out I’m making a home down here actually.

Pride month icon is in session!! Madgalene Druckeryn from Pentiment with the aroace flag in the background.

This Pride, you should join us in this prayer to that Charlie Guy that died because of gang violence or whatever. I'm having a hard time remembering who they were already, oops

[narcpolar]

Any character can be aromantic if you try hard enough. Be the change you want to see in the world.

The best magicians don't reveal their tricks.

The thing is you can have a grassy lawn or even a golf course without it being an ecological disaster, you just have to a: be cool about having the occasional non-grass plant in the mix and b: be willing to live in a climate that supports grass without irrigation.

Golf courses in California are an abomination which is why the sport was in fact invented in Scotland.

[abstrusetheorist]

I always thought that golf as a sport should be adapted to the local native landscape. I think this will encourage regional pride when local golfers completely trounce visitors at Swamp Golf, Desert Golf, Forest Golf, etc. Rich tourists will be pressured to travel extensively to experience all forms of golf, instead of staying in their backyard country club golf courses. Internet discourse will probably somehow get worse but I think this is a small price to pay.

if a man puts his hand on your lower back without asking it's literally ok to kill him

I think it's cute when depictions of our solar system include earth's moon. Like yeah sure the moon's invited. We just like her

[tlirsgender]

Like simplified models that don't have Literally Everything just the planets. And our moon #OurMoon

Manuscript signed by Mary I of England as “Maria” rather than her usual signature, “Marye the Quene.”

According to site of source : “Partial manuscript LS in Latin, signed "Maria," one page, 10.25 × 4, March 2, 1554. Two concluding lines of a state letter, written in the hand of Mary's Latin secretary Roger Ascham, signed below the closing sentiment in ink by Queen Mary I. Also signed in the lower right corner by Ascham, “R. Aschamus.”

trying to make friends online like hey. do you wanna torture this guy with me?

[tobiasbones]

The other day i bought this yarn cause that’s obviously the trans flag, and I just saw that this colour is called ‘life’! I’m gonna cry

[gaybichon]

not even funny how true this is for me

[cheesyrogued]

i made a new skyrim character whose main goal in life is to steal all of the cheese in skyrim for herself

she hasn’t gotten very far yet but she’s off to a good start

[cheesyrogued]

three cities worth of cheese… i’d call that progress

[capnsoapy]

okay but seriously what's going on with [tumblr] moderation right now

[capnsoapy]

okay but seriously seriously

[capnsoapy]

Not even in an "I'm outraged" kind of way, in a "genuinely perplexed as to what could be going on behind the scenes to produce these outcomes." I want to stop staring at the shadows on the wall and exit Plato's allegory of the website moderation

[teaboot]

My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying

The other thing about meeting my wife on this website is I've seen multiple friends today reblog a post about how some mutuals you eventually transition to using their given name and some you never do, and the thing is. The woman I am legally married to is in the latter category.

Thought that post was cute so i drew it
