“In a hundred years of movies, homosexuality has only rarely been depicted on the screen. When it did appear, it was there as something to laugh at, or something to pity, or even something to fear. These were fleeting images, but they were unforgettable, and they left a lasting legacy. Hollywood, that great maker of myths, taught straight people what to think about gay people… and gay people what to think about themselves.” (The Celluloid Closet, 1996)

That face when you get your Christmas gift from your mother in law on March 4th and it turns out to be shoes that are four sizes to small. How about ask first and then buy??? “No, yeah, as you know, mom, we’re struggling but yeah, do spent $70 on shoes that don’t fit me because you couldn’t bother to ask or see whether maybe offering to pay for our groceries this week might have actually been a nice gesture. Thanks anyway.”

I doubt Fenris wouldn’t cry over Hawke’s death; but unable letting go, rotten inside, never open heart (not literally). I’m moaning now… NO, Garrett can’t die left him behind

When Dragon Age dialogue doesn’t add up: 

Anders: No mage I know has ever dared to fall in love.

Meanwhile somewhere else in Thedas: 

Warden Mage cuddled up to Zevran: hmm…

Zevran: *sleepy whine* Are you alright mi amor? 

Warden: Yeah… i just got the feeling I need to kick Anders ass next time I see him. 

Zevran: huh, well i’ll be sure to remind you. Now go to sleep.

hey friends, if you care about cultural appropriation and the damage it causes, please check out this awesome project!

in 2017 dior copied the design of a traditional romanian coat from the county of bihor and sold it for 30,000 euro, giving no credit to the local artisans. in response, romanian fashion magazine beau monde helped the community create their own brand, bihor couture, which sells the original coat, handmade to order, for 500 euro a piece. they also sell other traditional clothing and jewelry for much more accessible prices (5-45 euro). they’ve been hugely successful so far, and currently have enough pre-orders to cover 4.5 years of work, with 100% of the profits returning to the community. 

it’s surprisingly common for big name fashion designers like dior, gaultier, tom ford and altuzarra to copy traditional romanian clothing and sell it for ridiculous prices, with minimal original input, while giving nothing back to the community where these designs originated. it’s completely unfair that a big name designer can just steal so much hard work and misuse it to make huge profits. 

please support bihor couture, if not by ordering one of their products, then by spreading the news around. it’s really awesome to see a small community fight back against cultural appropriation so successfully. i hope they carry on for a long time!

Hiatus

Super not amused when people announce in seriousness that their headcanon is the only valid one and everyone who doesn’t agree is wrong/phobic/hater/should die.

I’m going to take a break - RL is busy and I have no patience for fandom viciousness at this juncture in my life.

PS: no-one attacked me I just opened pillowfort and something to that effect was the first thing I saw in one of the comms I follow. I’m too exhaustipated for this. I’ll still write but I think I’m fed up with fandom at this point.

It’s true! And not just in Egypt, it’s recorded as a standard burglar technique in 12th century Persia. So much so that catching a fellow in the middle of the night carrying a crowbar and a drill wouldn’t necessarily prove anything, but if he also had a live tortoise with him, well it could only be a professional burglar.

“The tortoise is employed thus. The burglar has with him a flint-stone and a candle about as big as a little finger. He lights the candle and sticks it on the tortoise’s back. The tortoise is then introduced through the breach into the house, and it crawls slowly around, thereby illuminating the house and its contents.”
