poetic memory

"i am not sure that i exist, actually. i am all the writers that i have read, all the people that i have met, all the women that i have loved; all the cities that i have visited, all my ancestors... perhaps i would have liked to be my father, who wrote and had the decency of not publishing. nothing, nothing, my friend; what have i told you: i am not sure of anything, i know nothing... can you imagine that i not even know the date of my death?" -jorge luis borges RAVENCLAW BA, English Literature & Chinese.

Because this looks like a Monet painting or an old watercolour anime background come to life?! I was in utter disbelief until it started moving.

so I’ve been meaning to put this on tumblr and keep forgetting but, in the campaign I’m running my sister is playing an orc fighter, and one of the options you can pick for a fighter’s signature weapon is that it “glows in the presence of [fill in the blank].”

I was like, “oh, that’s funny because it’s a reference to that sword in The Hobbit that glows in the presence of orcs. Your weapon probably doesn’t glow in the presence of orcs.”

to which she responded, “FUCK YEAH it does.”

So now we have in the party an orc fighter with a club that glows in the presence of orcs. Or, as far as the character is concerned, a club that glows. It’s been in her family for generations since some ancestor won it in a battle, and it’s just always glowed. She has a sack to put it in when she’s trying to be stealthy.

#orcs in LotR don’t know that Sting doesn’t glow#that is crazy#they think elves and hobbits just carry glowing swords#for the Aesthetic#and if you know enough elves that probably makes sense to you!#sparkly drama queens would probably make their hair glow if they could

petition for the next Dragon Age game to have a default dwarf protagonist and for the whole game to play really weirdly if you’re not a dwarf

in cutscenes every other character ends up having a conversation with your navel because you are just too unexpectedly tall for the game to handle because you should have been a dwarf

in group shots you have mysteriously shrunk two feet or have to assume your human character is kneeling because the scene was clearly designed with a dwarf in mind

all the armour and weapons look really weird and far too small on non dwarf characters

people constantly talk about dwarves and dwarf culture and dwarf history and like 50% of all NPCs you meet are dwarves

almost all love interests are race locked will not romance you unless you are a dwarf

even if they will, every romance scene with hugging/kissing etc is really awkwardly posed unless you are the right height i.e. dwarf height

revenge

I want REVENGE

I’m still not over the fact that Hermione Jean Granger managed to snag a famous international quidditch star as her date to the yule ball like. This is the FUNNIEST SHIT. Hermione isn’t even into quidditch. She didn’t even do anything. Viktor Krum just fell for this 15 year old muggle-born girl who spends all her spare time in the library and had never heard of the most famous quidditch player in the world before her best friends took her to the world cup. AMAZING.

[professorsparklepants]

On that note every single boy Hermione has dated in canon is a jock. Amazing.

Royalty Meme ♛ [1/5] Books ↳ The Royal Diaries series

The Royal Diaries, an offshoot of Scholastic’s Dear America series, consisted of twenty books published between 1999 and 2005; each book was a fictionalized diary or journal written by the title character—generally a royal or noblewoman between twelve and sixteen. Taken as a whole, the Diaries spanned more than 1500 years and nearly every continent. They are particularly notable for their beautiful covers, though the 2013 re-launch of the series has replaced it with new artwork. A full list of books can be found here.

i love her

[twodotsknowwhy]

Remember, Debbie Reynolds was so much more than just Carrie’s mom. She was a beautiful, amazing, wickedly funny woman in her own right. She loved her daughter and she made her daughter who she was, but it is a disservice to her memory to shrink her down to just being Carrie’s mom.

[twodotsknowwhy]

Also, because it needs to be said, Debbie was a huge supporter of the mentally ill. She helped found The Thalians, a mental health charity in 1955 and served as chairwoman for the organization for fifty-six years. She was an amazing woman and will be missed.

remember that time that spock said “this is about sex” but he couldn’t say sex so instead he said “biology” and kirk clearly knew what he meant but was awkwardly like “what kind of biology” and spock got this look on his face like ‘oh lordy i’m not dealing with this today’ and said “vulcan biology” and kirk can’t say the word sex either so he goes “u mean the biology of vulcans” and then they stood there in silence for ten seconds like a pair of fucking idiots
