Yes

No

Did not know they existed

Voting ended onJun 13, 2024

if you picked no or didnt know they existed well:

The Hobbit (youtube upload. for some reason the hobbit radio drama has a lot of youtube uploads?)

LOTR Trilogy (internet archive. THE TRACK NAMES DONT SAY WHICH BOOK IS WHICH ASDFASF. It's all in order but its like 97 tracks)

anyways back when i was a teenager I watched the LOTR trilogy and then tried to read the books and failed... So i tried the audiobooks. Still failed. Then I found these audio dramas (radio plays, not audiobooks). i love them so much there is so much heart in these.

The Hobbit is my definitive version because i listened to it right after i watched the movies (the hobbit movies didnt exist yet, i stand by this radio drama version its incredible)

i will never forgive tumblr for what they did to cbs elementary you're telling me that in 2012 we had by far one of the most interesting and accurate depictions of a MODERN sherlock holmes with cute little easter eggs and characters from the original stories with great characterisation, INCREDIBLY written female characters (PLURAL), and one of the best platonic relationships that i've ever seen in media, SEVEN WHOLE SEASONS 154 EPISODES and you still chose bendysnap crunchyback. you were all too obsessed with english people and bad yaoi to see

one of the many reasons that batman needs robin is that batman also needs nightwing. robin, being babyfaced and conveniently located in batman's vicinity, serves the purpose of taking the brunt of bruce's annoying and invasive batcopter parenting like a human shield protecting dick from having to tell bruce to fuck off and kill himself. by keeping nightwing from blocking batman's number (again), robin has saved batman's life countless times

I decided to do something a little bit insane. I sat down and typed every word spoken in revenge of the Sith so I could then hand write every word to create this scene redraw. I am very pleased with the final result I’m not gonna lie.

I am obsessed with Max and Marcus on Ginny and Georgia. You can tell that they were not really going to be the focus of the show initially. They had very few scenes together, most of them were played for laughs, even their fight in the s1 finale was on the funnier side of things. The actors didn't read for chemistry with each other, I'm assuming that their chemistry with Ginny played the biggest role in the casting.

Something must have clicked for these guys in s1, because in s2 we get the Marcus episode, and we see just how big of a role Max plays in his life, outside of what Ginny knows about them. Also, being there for her brother and noticing his depression is the only good press Maxine got that season.

Then we get to season 3, where Marcus' storyline is a big part of the show, and we subsequently get more Max. It is easily my favourite part of the show (shush tumblr stop underlining my spelling of favourite, non-americans exist in this word).

Marcus values his relationship with Max, and her role as his confidant. In this season, he does not confide in anyone as much as he does Max, and we can hypothesize that the things he told Ginny in earlier seasons are stuff that she already knows (his dead best friend, his depression, etc.) In episode 4, when his father is lecturing him about responsibility, and he glances at Max for solidarity, and he looks so upset and betrayed when she avoids his eyes. He then proceeds to go crash out in her room at the mere thought that Max might not be on his side. Its why her telling their parents about his alcoholism triggers such a negative reaction.

In the previous seasons, we see moments where Marcus comforts Max. We see that in this season as well. She needs him as much as he needs her. But, through the flashbacks, its clear that the burden of caregiving is placed on Max, sometimes by her mother and sometimes by herself.

I am so looking forward to how their relationship is going to progress. I really do not know how angry he is going to be after rehab, and how his absence and lack of support from her friends is going to affect Max's personality. I think the former is going to be a larger storyline for her, since we close out on her sitting in the garage and missing Marcus.

Hey someone suggested I use ChatGPT to figure out adulting today, and as I was going through the mental list of places I'd rather look, I realized "beloved strangers on Tumblr dot net" was on that list.

So if you have an aspect of adulting that you're really good at-taxes, budgeting, cooking, insurance, credit, time management, house upkeep, anything-please feel free to reblog with any tips.

Not me, but @bitchesgetriches has a lot of great resources for many of these topics on their website.

You'll say, "Do you think we can be friends?" Oh, maybe we have reached the end.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

This is such a fun little logic game and I'm almost angry that I didn't think of it first.

So wait are livestock guardian dogs to their flocks like… Clark Kent among the residents of Smallville? He’s been here since he was a baby, we all know him, and he’s… generally one-of-us shaped, uh, approximately. And then when something goes wrong he suddenly leaps into action and does some terrifying impossible shit none of us could do. And then comes back home and settles in like nothing happened and he’s one of us again.

[relevant-catnik]

Hmm.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

[ruusverd]

Actual answer: the sheep know the dogs are not sheep, and they also know the dog is protecting them and take their cues from the dog about whether they need to run for the barn or can just ignore anything scary that approaches.

However, a friend once had an extremely premature orphan lamb born in December who had to live in the house for a couple of months with leg braces and all that, who due to spending her lambhood with dogs instead of sheep came out of the whole experience convinced she was a livestock guardian dog! She would patrol the perimeter of the fields every evening with the actual dog, stand watch in the barn door at night like the dog, and was more than willing to throw down if she saw something scary coming towards the flock the way the guard dog did. Tragically orphaned lamb did a convincing job at being a guard dog without actually having any of the biological advantages a dog has over a sheep.

Which I suppose made her Sheep Batman.

💔🇵🇸 My Daughter Was Born Under Bombs — I'm Just Trying to Keep Her Alive

My name is Abdulmajid.

I got married one month before the war. Those were beautiful days — full of hope, love, and simple dreams. I dreamed of a small home, a quiet family, and a baby girl I could hold without fear.

But the war came… Suddenly. Brutally.

My mother was killed. My brother was killed. Children in my family were taken by the bombs. My home was destroyed. And my work stopped completely.

Then… in the middle of this nightmare, my baby girl was born. A tiny soul, innocent, unaware of the war. She cries from hunger, from cold, from the sounds of bombs shaking what’s left of our walls.

Today, I’m a father with almost nothing… Fighting every day to find flour, milk, or even a small meal to feed my child.

Prices are sky-high — a single 25kg bag of flour can cost $800. There is no work. No income. No safety. No stability.

I write this from under siege, hoping my heart will reach yours.

Abedmajed’s Hope: Rebuilding Our Family’s Life in Gaza

My name is Abedmajed Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.

Even $1 can make a difference. It can feed a child, buy milk, or bring a moment of peace. Be the heart that reaches Gaza. Be the hand that saves.

📌 Please share this post. Let our voices be heard — not buried under rubble.

Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #537 )✅️

You know what pisses me off? When fanon and canon treat Dick as if he’s somehow… less dangerous/skilled as Damian, and other assassin trained vigilantes/villains. Like… No?? Just because he wasn’t trained by assassins doesn’t mean he wasn’t trained from the age of nine by the fucking batman. After spending his childhood being trained to be a master acrobat. Dick Grayson is one of the most dangerous members of the Batfamily and is one of the most dangerous people in the world.

[jasontoddiefor]

Dick is the person who shows up to a gun fight with a stick and wins every time

[pricetagofficial]

If that isn’t the most accurate description of Dick Grayson I don’t know what is.

[flashfuture]

Not sure how it’s gone and gotten confused but after Cass, Dick is the next best fighter in the whole damn family.

Hell he’s even caught her off guard and knocked Cass out before with a single punch because he’s really fucking strong.

Dick wasn’t leading the Teen Titans because he was the Batman of the group. Dick lead the Titans long before Bruce was in charge of the League.

Bruce is the Robin/Nightwing of the League.

[thekidthesuperkid]

Everything in this post and in the notes is so true! And let’s not forget that Dick has been doing acrobatics training since before he could walk. When did Bruce start his training? Dick has always been in peak physical condition, and the awareness he has of his own body and of his limits and capabilities plus his intelligence and the tactical abilities Bruce trained into him makes every inch of him a deadly weapon.

[potatounicoorn]

He has been trained to be the best of the best in his area since he was born. And that area is ACROBATICS. An art that requires peak physical condition. He literally can do tricks no one in the DC universe can. A quadruple somersault makes a person go 80 miles (127km) per hour! And he uses those moves to fight, all the while making sure he doesn’t kill the oponent. Killing is sadly really easy, all it takes is one hit to the head in the wrong place and it’s over. Fighting using the moves Dick does, making sure he doesn’t kill requires a crazy amount of talent, restriction and accuracy. How the hell do people even begin to think this guy is an incompetent fighter???

[wingdingfan]

Slade wanted Dick to join him. The court of owls. Lady Shiva. Shrike. Spyral wanted him until they didn’t. Bruce has stated that Dick is better than him (and technically did win that fight to almost death they had before Grayson). He was asked by Clark to train Jon. He managed to mellow out Damain. This is just the ones I can be bothered to list. It does go on

[venting-corner]

I saw somewhere on Tumblr that Batman was Nightwing lite 🤣
