Just wanted to make a quick post for people who want to pick a name for themselves out there!
Behindthename.com/random/ is a really amazing name generator site that has female,male and non-binary options and a huge list of country/continent origins you can pick from! They even also have mythology, fantasy, witch, rapper, and transformer names!
So I have to give a drunk lecture for a club I’m in, and I picked Tolkien of course, and I thought you all might want to see my visual aids. (These are just the fun facts, lecture itself will explain important things like what the hell is a silmaril and why do Maedhros and Luthien want it)
let your chaos explode
with fire and blood
So anyway Christopher Tolkien literally took 70 boxes of his father’s disorganised notes and spent his whole life turning them into something that could be read, appreciated, studied and loved. Words can’t express how much this man did for everyone to whom Tolkien’s work means something…thank you so much, Christopher. Safe journey to the white shores under a swift sunrise.
Thor: “YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHO! YOU KNOW DAMN WELL!”
This scene was so powerful.
This is my favorite scene. Like in the entire MCU.
I think they got Joss to come in and punch it up.
But what I love most is the way Tom/Loki basically fights back with just his eyes. His hands are bound and he’s like, “You want to hit me? I am going make you do it, staring me in the fucking face. I don’t care. Look at me.”
And it’s not even just about facing off as a worthy opponent. It’s about maintaining his last scrap of dignity and I am just here for it.
And to his credit, Thor does not hit him. Which I think confuses Loki. I think he fully expected to get punched. But for Thor, something inside finally begins to thaw. Something nameless, perhaps, but something about their relationship begins to change in this scene.
What can you see on the horizon? Why do the white gulls call? Across the sea, a pale moon rises The ships have come to carry you home And all will turn to silver glass A light on the water, grey ships pass Into the West. A tribute to Christopher Tolkien. Without him, we wouldn’t have been able to grasp the true depth of Middle Earth’s history, and there would be many more stories left untold. The Silmarillion has always been a favorite, and has been a constant source of inspiration and a source of comfort, along with the other books in the legendarium. There are no words to describe how much these books mean to me, and no words to express how I’ll forever be grateful for them for their accompaniment throughout the years. It always felt like coming home, reading them, to a place you’ll forever hold dear to your heart. His and his father’s legacy will continue to live on, and I’ll forever be thankful that it has been released into the world, for the world is immensely better because of it. From the depths of my heart, thank you for everything you’ve done, Christopher Tolkien. May the Star of Eärendil guide you back Into the West, and may you find eternal peace in the Halls of Mandos.

i feel like we don’t talk about things like this enough
Christopher Tolkien, third son of J.R.R. Tolkien and editor of much of his posthumous work, including The Silmarillion, has died at age 95. Thank you for bringing your father’s vision to life through your work. Rest in peace.
Thank you Joey for politely reminding that objectification of women is not cool anymore.
And that people don’t want to watch positive characters treating others like sex toys.
i mean im no expert on tudor fashion and the witcher just loves to blend time periods for inspiration but jaskier’s costumes are clearly extremely tudor influenced and given that on like, a formal occasion Jaskier does seem to wear his doublet laced closed like doublets are supposed to be (tho it looks like it’s maybe fastened rather than laced? idk man im not a costumer i just love historical fashion)
the fact that most of the rest of the time he’s going around with his doublet unlaced to show his cute embroidered undershirt (i looked up if it had a specific name in tudor fashion and like it does it’s called a chemise which im used to meaning ‘women’s underwear’ for most of modern fashion history, and chemises don’t often have embroidery and embellishments because like, they’re not meant to be seen, altho it’s not uncommon for wealthier people)
he’s essentially wearing the equivalent of the unbottoned shirt to show a cute lacy bralette underneath
i thought about this again and it cracked me up fuck all yall im hilarious
Why would you hide this in the tags??
employees should be allowed to steal, actually
idk. yesterday was a slow day and at the end of it, I still stared into a cash drawer, one of three, that had more than my rent in it, even if you only count the 20s. I spent a lot of that day trying to calculate in my head how many hours of work equal one pair of pants, let alone how many hours of work equals the fun thing I want to do next month.
I feel a cough coming on, because I work in a drug store, and all of my customers are sick. I always feel a little bit sick, now. I can't afford to eat well enough to keep my body healthy. Cough medicine is worth two hours and 20 minutes of work. Our store probably bought a case of cough medicine for they price we're selling one box. If this cough gets worse, I might have to call out, which will cost me more than the medicine in the long run- but that doesn't give me the money to buy the medicine right now. I stock a case onto the shelf. I don't buy any.
A mom wrangling three crying, sick kids enters my line and sets two types of children's medicine down, says they're both on sale and thank god for that. I ring her up, and she gets very quiet, because she misread the sign, and her total is twice as high as she was expecting. Her youngest screams in the cart, because she's burning up with fever. Her mother very quietly asks, please, she's so sorry, if I could please take the more expensive one off her total.
I agree, I move the box below the counter, and when she's not looking, I slip it into her bag. I pray as hard as I can that if she notices the "mistake" she says nothing, because I so desperately want her to have that medicine. The store has lost profit at the cost of a child's health. I don't bat an eye. This is a terminable offense. If I'm presented with the same situation tonight, I'll do it in a heartbeat.
The myth of evil employees stealing from the company falls apart the second you realize the company would shoot you dead to make a profit. This isn't two equal players, one of whom is stealing from the other. This is someone fighting for survival versus someone fighting to make an extra million. It's not equal.
Employees should be able to steal, actually.
Good and pure
Daenerys: *actually does what her advisers tell her to do, AGAIN, thus resulting in missandei dying*
Tyrion and Varys, yet before that: she’s a TYRANT!!! She doesNTT ListeNN ToO usS
Daenerys: I should attack king’s Landing immediately.
Tyrion: No, attack Casterly Rock instead.
Daenerys: Okay, fine.
*Euron destroys the fleet and kills her allies*
Daenerys: I should kill him before he gets to be a huge problem.
Tyrion: No, doing that won’t help.
Daenerys: Okay, fine.
*Euron kills Rhaegal*
Daenerys: I should kill Cersei before I go North.
Tyrion: No, she’ll help us.
Daenerys: Okay, fine.
*Cersei doesn’t help and Dany loses most of her army*
Daenerys: I have to save Missandei!
Tyrion: You should treat with Cersei, she’s clearly proven at keeping her word.
Daenerys: Okay, fine.
*Missandei dies*
Daenerys: You know what, Tyrion? Go fuck yourself.
Tyrion: oH mY gOd, mAd QuEeN. sHe WoN’t LiStEn tO mE.
Me:
One of the many things that made Dany’s fall so frustrating was how unearned it was. Like, with all the other characters who lost power and died, there was a message for why it happened and a point at which they could have stopped it from happening. With Dany though, it was impossible for her to get things right. She loses everything listening to Tyrion, and yet when she doesn’t listen to him, she’s “mad” and “dangerous”. When she helps the people of the north, she’s met with hatred and xenophobia, but had she not helped them, they would have died a horrible death and she would have still been met with hatred and xenophobia. We learn lessons from the failures of the other characters, but from Dany, what do we learn? That people with traumatic pasts and a history of mental illness are doomed to failure and to cruelty? That if you’re a woman who wants power and a new world to keep everyone safe, there’s no way that you can or deserve to succeed? That being chosen by your people to rule makes you a dangerous leader, and that only those who lead by fortune of birth can be trusted? These are terrible, bigoted and clearly untrue messages - but they’re all D&D wanted to show us. They sacrificed the plotlines, the foreshadowing, the character development of nearly everyone and all common sense and logic, just to lead to this point. All that, just to give us either a terrible message or a completely pointless ending of a series steeped with meaningful writing.
More than one person has asked what is the message of Daenery’s story. What’s the theme, which is not just for eight grade book reports. What is the tragic flaw that lead to her downfall? You should fart into the wind because that might as well be the answer. There’s no there there. Dan and David just wanted to be BIG and SHOCKING and EPIC. They wanted to put on pretensions of having a story that said a deep and true something about human nature and how it reacts to power. “It really makes you think. We live in a society.”
But that can’t write anything that’s meaningful because they’re lazy asshats.
Reylos, somebody actually gives a fuck.
The incredible Katie, author of the following article, collected an incredible amount of data on the Reylo fandom to provide much needed insights on how fandoms that are predominantly female are depicted in the media and treated online.
This article, “ When Systemic Hatred of Women Online Goes Unnoticed, What Does it Say About Us? “ details the behaviors “antis” and members of the Fandom Menace have had for years, as well as what happened after Boyega’s tweets.
It is the ONLY ARTICLE YOU’LL EVER NEED TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF, OR DEFEND YOURSELF AS A MEMBER OF THIS FANDOM.
