ITS A DATE!?!? I’ve never seen so much sexual tension in all my years
said this as part of a larger point in a reblog but I'm gonna make it its own post:
humans have the right to do things that are mildly bad for us sometimes.
you have the right to eat way too many pierogi and make yourself a little sick. you have the right to go skydiving. you have the right to pull an all-nighter building the Imperial City of Tamriel in Minecraft. you have the right to get drunk in your living room watching football.
life is not about making the safest most logically correct choice at all times. you're a blob of salty meat piloting a flesh mech and you get to act like it.
Take a bow!

Epilogue letter in text form:
Julien has naturally straight hair and sleeps in pin curls every night to get it to look like that
*Valley Girl voice*: I must, like, not fear. Fear is literally the mind-killer. Like it’s basically the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will totally face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me, and? When it’s gone? I’m gonna like turn the inner eye to see its path! Where the fear has gone there will be literally nothing. Only I will remain.
Masha The Hero
They forgot the part where the ambulance actually stopped to let the cat in
oh good I was worried
What a good cat. What a kind cat. How can anyone not love cats they are so good and loving.
they also forgot the part where they only found the baby because masha was screaming her head off bc she knew this baby was in danger. she went around outside the alley the next morning and yelled at passerby until she got one to follow her to the baby. she kept him warm all night and then made sure someone found him. she was adopted after this bc she was a stray and is in a loving home and is a hero
Hero cat
Thank you, Masha, you’re such a good girl.
See.
Kittens can’t regulate their own body temperature. That’s why they pile up.
Cats see us as colony members.
Masha saw a kitten that was on its own, no mommy, no other kittens to cuddle with. She instinctively knew that was a cold kitten. She knew that a kitten alone on a cold night was very likely to die. Because a kitten would have died too.
So, all she was doing was what any good colony member does - protecting the abandoned kitten. Then when the abandoned kitten’s mommy didn’t come back, she called the rest of the colony for help.
People have this bizarre idea that housecats don’t have a social sense. They do, and it saved this kid’s life. And possibly Masha’s too, as life on the streets is dangerous for a kitty.
We say “good dog” all the time, but Masha was being a very, very good cat…not just by human moral standards but by feline ones.
Rebloging again because who can resist Masha the Hero cat 😻😻😻
Your goal shouldn’t be to win the breakup… but when u do it feels SOOOOO much better
right now you might be in a situation that you think you won’t survive but six months ago you were in a situation that you didn’t think you’d survive and two years before that you were in a situation you didn’t think you’d survive and the point is you will always surprise yourself and you will always make it through
Shane Meta Masterlist
I have compiled a bunch of links to meta posts about Shane Hollander that I encountered and enjoyed. I hope you also enjoy them!
This list will continue to evolve. If you see any posts you think would make a good addition, tag me! 😁
I'm also working on an Ilya version. I will update this with the link when it's done.
To any users I've tagged in this post, I just wanted to credit you, but if you would like me to untag you or remove your post from the list, please just let me know! Also, I think tumblr limits me to 50 tags? If yes, that's why most of the tags in the latter part of the post don't link directly to the user's blog. But all the links to the posts themselves should work.
I will update this with links to some of Hudson Williams' interviews eventually, because Hudson usually has some excellent Shane meta.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASSSSE MAKE A HEATED RIVALRY EDIT TO WHAT A GOOD BOY BY THE BARENAKED LADIES PLEEEEEEEASEA IM BEGGIN idk HOW TO DO IT BUT I CAN FICKIN SEEEEEE IT
Hate that I have to deal with the reality that part of the reason why heated rivalry is so successful is the public desire for escapist media due to the rise of fascism
the mighty nein show reminded me of my love for essek so i went back and rewatched all my favorite essek moments from the stream. suffice to say i am excited to see jester and essek interactions becomes ✨animated✨
This is probably the first hug he received since his mom died…
we’ve gone from the yee haw agenda to the ye olde thot programme
Ah yes, those slutty slutty Landsknecht shorts:
The bare-legged / hot-pants look was fairly common, since the whole point about being a Landsknecht (or Reislaufer, their Swiss equivalent) was to look outrageous.
Most period illustrations of Landsknechts are black-and-white woodcuts…
…though in 1905 a book called „Geschichte des Kostüms“ - History of Costume - assembled a bunch of black-and-whites and added colour.
If they look excessively gaudy, they’re not, because these next prints were coloured in-period by an artist called Erhard Schön, and it’s fair to assume he was representing what he saw.
In short - or in shorts - those reenactor costumes are spot on. :->
Something mentioned nowhere in this post that I have just learned from googling: these guys were not Ye Olde Medieval Dandies. They were 15th-16th century mercenaries. Pretty hardcore, too. They were exempt from sumptuary laws (ie the rules that said you couldn’t wear certain colours or cloth or styles) and apparently their response to that was technicolour thotpants.
I was complaining earlier about costuming in both “historical” settings and in fantasy/scifi. This is exactly what I mean when I say a knowledge of actual history would enrich the conceptual creative palette for things like “hardcore mercenary outfits.”
Technicolor Thotpants is my new band.
