YELLOWSTONE-“…the mist surrounding the bison was because they had just crossed a river. Their body heat in the cold air caused the water to turn to vapor.”

[onewonderfulbug]

FUCK, GHOST BISON, RUN.

[lauraannegilman]

DO NOT RUN.  Stay very. Very. Still.  Let them pass by you.  Feel the vapor touch your skin with the memories of herds long gone, the thunder of hooves on sun-baked ground.  Let them pass, and feel tears dry on your face for that which is gone….

[ramla-nana]

But if you must run, climb a tree, hide behind something and then go the other direction or take sudden sporadic turns. As they can not change directions easily or quickly.

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. (Avatar: The Last Airbender 2005-2008)

As someone that's never read any Wheel of Time, where would you suggest starting?

Lemme give you a Wheel of Time primer, because I wish that more people would read these books. WoT isn’t flaw free, but there are so many great female characters in Wheel of Time, and so many great poc characters, and so many of them are in positions of power. There are well thought-out matriarchies (plural)! Body positivity! These characters are my friends, and I want everyone to meet them. This is the order of the main series:

The Eye of the World

The Great Hunt

The Dragon Reborn

The Shadow Rising

The Fires of Heaven

Lord of Chaos

A Crown of Swords

The Path of Daggers

Winter’s Heart

Crossroads of Twilight

Knife of Dreams

Towers of Midnight 

The Gathering Storm

A Memory of Light

Other stories set in this world:

New Spring - a prequel, set approximately 20 years before the main series. I recommend reading this after Winter’s Heart.

The Strike at Shayol Ghoul - a prequel, of sorts, available online. It’s written as if it were an ancient, fragmentary “manuscript” that someone recently found. Don’t read this until you’ve at least Book 5 or 6, imo.

“River of Souls,” a short story in the Unfettered anthology - deleted scenes from A Memory of Light. Do not read until after AMOL. 

There were two other novella prequels planned, one about Moiraine & Lan’s arrival in The Two Rivers, and another about Tam’s journeys during the war, but Robert Jordan died before these stories could be written, and while there are notes about them, they will probably never be written, and I will never get over it. More info.

Companion books:

The World of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time - informally referred to by fans as The Big White Book. An encyclopedia with a lot of history and background, similar to GRRM’s The World of Ice and Fire. Don’t read this until you’ve read through Winter’s Heart (Book 9)

The Wheel of Time Companion - A dictionary / encyclopedia. It’s basically a wiki in book format. Contains spoilers for the entire series, so do not read this until you’ve read the whole series.

Leigh Butler’s Wheel of Time Reread - basically officially sanctioned meta. Also available for free on Tor.com

HELLO SMALL COW

[orangevegan]

*SNIFF SNIFF*

[transmasculine-spock]

What gets me is that after the dog realized they were kinda scared, he/she lied down so the cows could be in control and feel safer. Such love. Animals are amazing.

[disgustinganimals]

well note to self don’t lay down in front of cows or they may lovingly sniff you and then how do you tell them it was a misunderstanding and that you’re not interested oh god i can’t commit to something like this!

[ramla-nana]

Sooo adorable

[nutinof-moved-deactivated201801]

Reblog if school has ever made you;

• have an anxious/ a panic attack • cancel out basic needs to do work (showering, eating, etc) • feel depressed • feel isolated/ ignored • feel like education is a burden • stressed to the point of tears

(doesnt have to be all)

im trying to prove a point to my friend who disagrees with it all

[crimson-house]

A reminder that “male” armour usually works just as well with female bodies. If you’re trying to design something practical, useful and historical looking (or even just something the follows the laws of physics), never ever put in boob cups. Aside from the fact they give the armour a sort of “focus point” for swords, falling down on them would send the shock right into the sternum. Regular plate armour leaves enough space between the chest for small to medium sized boobs anyway. But say the girl underneath is a buxom lass, you can still avoid that cleavage, boob cup shape while leaving enough space for her melons.

But aside from plate, things like the top picture, chainmail and all sorts of leather armour are unisex. I know you might be thinking that the feminine thing to do when designing a female warrior is to show off a bit of thigh or neck or cleavage or something, but really, understand that if the goal of that armour is to protect completely, putting an obvious gap in it is a terrible idea and she’ll surely get stabbed very quickly.

And don’t feed me the “it’s magic, I don’t got to explain shit” line. Bollox. Magic armour and forcefields need to make some sense too. Show me something that LOOKS like it’s generating a barrier over the character instead of just saying “Oh the G-string of Invulnerability is just as good as wearing full plate anyway”. If that’s the case, everyone would wear it. And why can’t they just tie it around their belt? Make me believe that your magic armour and spells have logic to them. If not, please don’t play your world straight. I’m all for super stylised designs as long as they’re sold as such, but if you’re trying to make a world that feels real enough for people to believe and get immersed in, think this stuff out. If you’ve designed someone with sparse, gapped armour that shows skin, give your character a reason to wear it.

[prettyarb]

I’ve got some folks following my Tumblr who have a thing for women in (good) armor.  Enjoy, guys and gals!

[kryptaria]

Even a fandom blog needs women in gorgeous, realistic armor.

[thescienceofjohnlock]

I’m a woman and I make chainmaille armour (even made some plate back in the day). The only time I made something different for a woman was when I put ‘extensions’ into a maille shirt because she was pregnant and needed more room for her bump.

Fanart - The Four Elements Specialized

by Ctreuse109 [x] [x] [x] [x]

Interesting how the first three elements exclusively feature specialized benders (you can even see Zuko in the background for the Lightningbending art, since we only ever knew him to redirect lightning not conjure it) while only three of the five in the Airbender set have displayed any enhanced spiritual powers akin to Jinora’s explicit specialization of Airbending, spirit projection. Aang has done something similar many times during his journey, and Tenzin was able to project his inner enlightenment out into the Fog of Lost Souls in order to dissipate it and save his family.

Just posting all of these here with credit because I find them stunning and I haven’t seen this set around yet.

Ramla's Real Life Ramblings

This is my blog on life...more specifically my life (which I know may sound selfish, but don't leave yet! I promise that's not what this is.) What you'll find in this blog are the ramblings of my...

So...I've created a new blog about my final semester of undergrad and beyond and figured that I would do some advertising for myself and post a link for my current followers. 

At this point I think you know what to do...so I won't tell you how and why to follow me..(but you definitely should, cause it's gonna be big :D)
