A Sentient Nebula

Studying Egyptology and ancient history. I'm 26. Asexual, aro-spec, agender. Autistic (Autism sideblog). I don't even know what this blog is anymore... I mostly reblog things. I rarely make original posts. Occasionally I reblog content relating to my studies

i hate how reward systems never work for me like i can’t just say “if i finish this assignment i can have a cookie” bc my brain is like “…..or u could just have one right now” and i can’t argue with that logic

[truestoriesaboutme]

Self-imposed deadlines don’t work either because I know the guy who set them and he’s full of shit

[truestoriesaboutme]

This is going around again, so I should say, I was wrong when I wrote this.

Actually, I know the girl who set them and she’s full of shit

Congrats on the gender. Get well soon with the executive dysfunction

the gods that haunt this place are unlike any others

[super-face]

I just saw a tiktok comment saying that tumblr right now is like a place recovered from being irradiated

Sign outside Tumblr: “This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. …”

Okay, so.

In the film adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo gets stabbed by a troll’s spear, and there’s this big dramatic scene where he reveals that he’s been wearing Bilbo’s old mithril corslet under his shirt the whole time.

In the book, Frodo doesn’t tell anyone about the mithril corslet until much later, as the Fellowship is busy running for their lives at the time, and the orcs aren’t kind enough to pause their assault for long enough for the Fellowship to have a mid-battle bonding moment:

Aragorn picked up Frodo where he lay by the wall and made for the stair, pushing Merry and Pippin in front of him. The others followed; but Gimli had to be dragged away by Legolas: in spite of the peril he lingered by Balin’s tomb with his head bowed. Boromir hauled the eastern door to, grinding upon its hinges: it had great iron rings on either side, but could not be fastened.

“I am all right,” gasped Frodo. “I can walk. Put me down!”

Aragorn nearly dropped him in amazement. “I thought you were dead!” he cried.

“Not yet!” said Gandalf. “But there is no time to wonder.”

Meaning that in the book version, for most of the span between the battle at Balin’s tomb and reaching Lothlórien, apart from Gandalf – who obviously figures it out straight away – the Fellowship have no idea how Frodo survived a troll-spear to the guts with nothing but bruised ribs to show for it. What did they think was going on?

#[boromir voice] i guess hobbits are just Built Different - @everyones-beau

[prokopetz]

You think you’re joking, but after the stabbing incident and before the mithril corslet is revealed, this exchange happens:

“Well,” said Aragorn, “I can only say that hobbits are made of a stuff so tough that I have never met the like of it. Had I known, I would have spoken softer in the Inn at Bree! That spear-thrust would have skewered a wild boar!”

“Well, it did not skewer me, I am glad to say,” said Frodo.

So, I mean.

“Are hobbits indestructible?” asks Aragorn. “Sure, why not,” Frodo replies.

how many people could be working on actual problems in the world instead of being forced to do jobs that they are over-qualified for just because they dont want to go homeless and starve?

[justsomeantifas]

climate change is threatening to kill us and people with biology degrees are working at starbucks if they didn’t get lucky in the nepotism department.

[justsomeantifas]

capitalism is possibly the least efficient way to allocate work. 

You love art–have spent your entire childhood developing a style people love and appreciate? you could possibly work to improve the lives of millions with your beautiful creations?

sorry you need to work 12 hours a day at a walmart that doesn’t need you while some billionaire who took a painting class once sells some ugly bullshit for 3.5 million.

[justsomeantifas]

Millions of people want to be doctors but can’t afford medical school, it is a well known fact we don’t have enough doctors for the demand. hmm wow real efficient capitalism.

[demilypyro]

Thinking about how common of a last name "Smith" is and how that implies smiths Fucked

[demilypyro]

Oh yeah, his big muscles, toned from shaping metal all day, glistening with sweat, I totally get it

[creation-of-pokerus]

Money. Metal smiths get paid A Lot.

[demilypyro]

Alright, way to take the cynical approach I suppose

[scribeofseshat]

There were a lot of different kinds of smith for different metals and different specialisations of smithing... its not cos they were jacked, its that there were a lot of them... it was a very attractive profession

y’all, i-

OKAY so I got my mum into playing Skyrim a while back. She’s been really liking it, but it’s basically the only game she has played in her life other than Stardew Valley where, like a true Italian, she spent half of her starting gold on a plate of spaghetti. So, as you can imagine, it has been a bit of a learning curve!

Anyway, most of the time she’s adorable! Exploring dungeons with her big Nord Dragonborn, doing quests, uncovering the map, taking carriage rides so he ‘won’t have to walk all that way’. Utter perfection - 10/10.

But then there was today. She approached me, meekly, because she had somehow managed to wrack up a 13,000 gold bounty in Markarth. After overcoming my initial shock (and let’s be real, a healthy bit of awe) I was like, “It’s okay - don’t worry!” and headed over to her computer to help her deal with it. After stashing her stolen goods (a single silver necklace), we fast-traveled took the carriage to Markarth. However, after wandering all over the city, we couldn’t seem to find any guards.

Eventually, after about five minutes of searching, I finally asked her, “What happened? Where is everyone???”

“Oh,” she replied, “the guards tried to arrest me. So I killed them all.”

My sweet mother. The Scourge of Markarth. May the Divines have mercy on anyone who tries to bring her to justice, for she, evidently, will not.

[shallanspren]

that scene in oathbringer where shallan first starts opening up to adolin about her DID, and he just hugs her? prompting shallan to think to herself “what is this peace, this place without fear?” iconic and underrated.

if i had any artistic talent at all i would draw it because it’s such a beautiful and defining moment for them.

reminder that NPD and ASPD aren't "bad person disorder" and you shouldn't be dicks to random people because you think you're somehow superior for not being traumatized as a kid in a way that developed that way

[seliphra]

Goes for BPD too, which is often turned into ‘Bad person disorder’ and ‘abusive person disorder’ when it’s actually ‘abused and traumatized as a kid’ disorder
