Hiding out in fandom since 2004. Mostly The Magicians & Star Wars these days, but I was raised by Harry Potter and Tamora Pierce

Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.

BURN BAGEL BURN

[gothiccharmschool]

OH WHY NOT?

[harukami]

I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.

Bagel what are your powers

[acabosetotal]

FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.

THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD

[token-white-friend]

I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD

[noodle-dragon]

The bagel hasn’t let me down yet!

If people are sad about The Wizard Facism game coming from someone you used to look up to and admire, may I suggest an author whose books are filled with nuanced characters and strong, dynamic women?

Tamora Pierce has been writing since the 80’s and has two worlds of magic and fantasy and bonus!!! Isn’t a transphobic POS.

There was a wall here once. The tree remembers, but now the wind blows through roots that once nestled among stones.

How is tuesday higher than monday???

[officialunitedstates]

on Monday you’re still living off the high of the weekend but have accepted that it is about time you actually did some work. by tuesday you have grown to resent it again but the week is still far from over

Pet peeve time: what IS it with the recurring trope of "Kel doesn't know the ladies' steps?"

The Tortallan court hasn't abandoned dancing, so the pages still have to learn. That means the boys are going to know the lead and the follow parts, and have to practice both. Because they are all boys, except for Kel.

And given Wyldon's "I'm going to treat you exactly the same!" schtick in First Test and Page, the whole "lady lessons" being done separately makes no sense either. What DOES make sense is poor Kel having double the amount of homework some days.

In short: forget "Kel doesn't know the ladies' step of the dances" awkwardness at balls. Give me a slice of life where the pages are learning the quadrille, and the study group immediately organises themselves so that Kel doesn't end up rotating with Joren, Vinson or Garvey. (Master Oakbridge will spot pinching, but tripping is another story.)

I always forget that their lessons including dancing and now I am absolutely bubbling over with fic ideas

I met Tamora Pierce at a book signing once when I was in high school. I was halfway through your standard cursory “hey thanks your books meant a lot to me when I was—” when suddenly her pupils visibly dilated as she noticed my mother’s jewelry.

With the same sort of rapt, predatory interest I have come to associate with dimestore vampire novels, Tamora Pierce leaned forward and whispered,

“Are those

Opals?!”

that gal really likes her opals folks

[therequisitewatson]

I'm rereading some of her books and that's very obvious from the everything about them.

[glumshoe]

if you threw an opal over a ledge she would drop to all fours and vault after it like an attack leopard and I’m so happy for her

[ruffboi-mags]

Me, to my wife who has literally slept on Tammy’s couch multiple times: Hey, babe, does Tammy like opals?

My wife, intensely and immediately without any hesitation: OH yes, very much. ...Why?

[glumshoe]

Do you know if they make laser pointers that look like opals? I have an idea that potentially involves a lot of property damage.

Also her obsession is contagious because they’re now my favorites, or at least tied with amber, which sucks, because they’re so delicate that I can’t actually wear them. She couldn’t have picked a more durable gemstone to write about constantly?

[youchangedme]

shoutout to the people who came back to spn after years of not watching, but it's always gonna be a bigger shoutout to the people who stayed here the whole time. if you experienced the british men of letters plot and stuck around you're stronger than any US marine

[youchangedme]

new game: if you stopped watching spn, what was the plot that ended it for you? if you stayed what plot came closest to making you quit?

[mybrokenlocket]

Season 9 and the back door pilot for the never materialized spin-off did me in. I was hoping for something different, but instead I could predict every single turn. Quit halfway through the ep and never went back

[shakespork]

it’s always “this doll is haunted and is ominously shattering the china” and never “how can I provide adequate enrichment for my haunted doll so she doesn’t destroy stuff out of boredom”

[shakespork]

responsible haunted doll ownership means aknowledging your doll’s need for interaction and play time! make sure to give her plenty of stuff to look at with her rolling eyes and shatter-proof things to knock over.

remember that knocking picture frames off walls, inverting crosses, and leaving long and disturbing claw marks in your wallpaper is natural haunted doll behaviour and should be managed in a way which is healthy for both you and your doll!
