maybe orpheus always looks back because his very effort to reverse death means that he can't look forward. if he could look forward, he could accept eurydice's death, grieve, and keep moving in life. his refusal to accept her death is looking back. his going down to the underworld, asking hades and persephone for her life, trying to lead her out... it's all 'looking back'. he does nothing for the entire story except look back. orpheus! looks! back! it's his entire thing! the story ends the same way it begins: orpheus looked back.

It’s the final few days of the Bluminarmour Project! After some issues with Kickstarter let’s see how far we can get!

If you want to see fantasy tropes, historical movement and silly tricks tested in authentic full plate armour, please consider chucking a few quid over (or like and share this post):

The Bluminarmour Project

Blumineck is trying to fun a video series doing fun and serious historical and fantasy testing in fitted plate armour.

Update on this:

Kickstarter removed my highest funding tier so I lost £11k of funding since earlier today.

BUT

I’ve managed to get the deadline extended in light of this. So this might still happen!

[blumineck]

We’re into the last week now! This is close enough that I think this could actually happen, but it’s still got a way to go!

If this is something that interests you, please consider donating or sharing!

when you see something that needs to be done and you think “someone should take care of that” just remember that you’re someone

Has anyone warned @copperbadge yet

What a lot of people outside of Chicago may not realize is that The Beans are a native species to this region and right now is baby season! What you're seeing there is probably just an instance of a young mature The Bean being kept in a secure enclosure, probably due to some kind of injury that's being rehabbed.

In urban Chicago around this time of year if you want to go The Bean spotting you mostly just need to keep an eye out around downtown drugstores for formations like this.

I took this picture myself in a Walgreens. As you can see we have a nice healthy-looking family group consisting of a parent The Bean, several juveniles who will often stay with the parent for several years, and some newborns this year who naturally group up protectively near any large sign reading "Chicago".

The Beans are usually extremely docile and can even be kept as pets once the juveniles separate from their family group, since they are low-maintenance and require only a small flat area such as a desk or bookshelf on which to recline. Fun fact, a group of The Beans such as pictured above is known as a Tchochki!

Are adult The Beans usually around the size of the one in the above photo? The most famous one I know of is about three humans tall. Is that a genetic rarity, or is it more like lobsters?

There's a lot of debate in TheBean Biology circles about the massive The Bean residing in Millennium Park. It's not known why this The Bean chose the park or why it has grown to such gargantuan size. I'm not an expert, I just live here, but I tend to agree with the newer theory that they can regularly grow to massive sizes in the wild, but we only tend to encounter smaller ones because such huge sizes generally only occur in deep freshwater lakes.

It's certainly very unusual to see a The Bean of that size on land. Such a privilege to live in a place where they feel safe enough to take up residence alongside humans.

So is now a good time to share the funniest thought I’ve ever had regarding Toph’s perspective?

Okay so like, prior to The Desert, Toph has been all bullshit and shenanigans regarding Aang. She openly bullies him in Bitter Work, she refuses to do anything to help the collective, and I’ve come to realize, that until The Desert, she just thinks Aang is a shy, dancy kid who doesn’t understand shit about how to face problems head on.

And then. I know she can’t see the glowing eyes, but she can HEAR him demand, “TELL ME WHERE APPA IS,” in the voice of EVERY avatar. She can feel him tossing around sand-boats like they’re toys. She can hear Sokka scream, “just get out of here- run!!” as he grabs her hand and hauls ass away from the frilly soft boy she felt totally confident pushing around.

Tl;dr-

Toph, pre-The Desert: lol I only let Twinkletoes get away with his whining because I like him

Toph, post-The Desert: ohhhh CRAP Twinkletoes only lets me get away with my whining because he likes me.

This is Meryton Assembly erasure. They went to the club once at the beginning of the book and the night went so badly that the whole rest of the narrative is the fall out from it.
