murrrrrr

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single girl in possession of a good internet connection must be in want of a tumblr. Nowadays when it comes to fandoms you'll find Black Sails and occasionally the 100 more than anything else. I'm still keeping my Klebekah and Klope blog theme, tho.

i think peak historical fiction is when there is a random ass major historical figure but as a comedic relief side character. like geoffrey chaucer being a naked gambling addict in a knight’s tale or leonardo da vinci being cinderella’s fairy godmother in ever after. like. nothing can top that.

20 years ago, it was a scandal that Google started to track which links you clicked on the search-results page,

i saw a post about wikipedia losing site visits to slop generators. some of us are on wikipedia like white on rice but i think it'd be fun to encourage everyone to start reading a random wikipedia article every so often. yknow, help out their metrics. learn random shit. click to get a random article!

what kind of article did you get?

a person (or a group like a band)

some sort of animal, bug, bacteria, etc (viruses can go here)

some sort of plant, fungus, whatever the fuck seaweed is,

a location

an historical event

some sort of device, contraption, vehicle, etc

a company, organization, government, etc

any type of game (board, table top, video, etc)

any type of art form (writing, music, theatre, painting, etc)

a scientific article

something that doesn't fall into any of the above categories???

and if you read it, feel free to expound in the tags on what it was about and if you learned anything!

I got an article about yuebeipotamon, "a species of potamid crab from hill streams and pools in north Guangdong, China." 🦀

I got a place but I am fascinated by the categorisation system in which viruses and animals are together but fungi are something else

🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.

Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church and the colonization of Ireland.

Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.

Nina Cried Power is an homage to various (mostly Black) civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.

Be criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.

Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism and about protest and resistance.

Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.

Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism and arms dealers prioritize short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%

Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.

If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.

as an Irish person, 'butchered tongue' is so good and so important in this modern age

mar dhuine as Éirinn, tá 'butchered tongue' an-mhaith agus an-tábhachtach sna saolta nua-aimseartha seo

Elijah: I will challenge Finn's expectations and reveal that i am in fact a piece of trash

Klaus: I will also challenge Finn's expectations and reveal that i am, in fact, not as much trash as one might assume

Both: OH HOW THE TURNTABLES HAVE-

Did a school visit today and asked a group of 8th graders if they could define the term "contemporary art" for me [for context, I work at a contemporary art museum], and one of them said "Is it art that's made with contempt?"

And unfortunately that's the funniest thing a student has ever said to me in 10 years of teaching

how do you think tvd/to vampires would've reacted to artificial blood being invented

LOVELY QUESTION

Stefan - hallelujah the struggle is over no more squirrels. Except - will synth blood be so perfect that it gives him the same high as real blood? Lmao that would be so sad and so Stefan.

Damon - Elena puts his blood in a Stanley cup every morning. He promises her he’s not getting dessert from the necks of idiots who see him lying prone in a dark country road.

FINN - 2 dead 2 care

MARCEL - he would immediately try to monopolize the industry in the south. If you want that good red lab juice you gotta pay the House of the Rising Son.

REBEKAH - she prefers the human stuff but the fake stuff is so convenient when there’s a mob after you! Dusty aftertaste, though.

KOL - Ew, seriously? Are we going to start wearing pleather now too? Don’t tell Davina I said that tell her uhhhhh tell her I had a whole glass and said “aahhhhhhh” all satisfied when I was done.

ELIJAH - Elijah would feel very similar to Rebekah. He would monitor Marcel’s power grab, though, with equal parts pride and paranoia.

Klaus - obviously, this blood is a plot point. So Klaus can’t digest it/it weakens him. Hybrid intolerance of synthetic blood would cause a huge anti-hybrid surge in the populace, especially if humans were clued in to the supernatural world at this point. It turns out that this blood was designed to poison him specifically in a decades long plot to incapacitate the original hybrid.

Hayley - She almost dies because she tries it!! This is episode 1 of the season!!!!!!! Hope screams so loud the entire city can hear!

Idk if I’m biased against tumblr now but im trying to find a home for writing I’ve done, old and recent, in a way that I can chronicle later in order.

Substack sicklyscribe I guess? It’s probably a bad choice so if you have better suggestions lmk
