“The man of business gave a short laugh — laughter which was clearly directed at Mr Honeyfoot, yet Mr Norrell did not reprimand him either by look or word, and Mr Segundus wondered what sort of business it could be that Mr Norrell entrusted to this person. With his long hair as ragged as rain and as black as thunder, he would have looked quite at home upon a windswept moor, or lurking in some pitch-black alleyway, or perhaps in a novel by Mrs Radcliffe.” -Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Susanna Clarke

As you can see I was not quite done, though this is more of a glorified sketch I’m happy with it.

I’ve been drawing horses so often I really did apply for a job at my local stables. Here’s to hoping. Also can you tell I love John Bauer.

Need I say more.

i just went into the rihanna tag to see if anyone was talking about that shit she did (considering it's all over twitter) and yours was the only post i saw. i read so many tweets and... why did they have to do sexy dancing to a garbled version of the hadith? it's clearly not just 'arabic music' either, idk why people are defending this blatant disrespect. i'm also surprised how many muslim fans rihanna has tbh

as an arabic speaker i can still hear complete phrases in the song making the whole thing *so* uncomfortable to listen to. on top of that having people dance with that in the background.... i couldn't even watch it.

it seems the original artist is well aware of what they've done but as far as i know they haven't said anything yet (but they have limited their comments!). honestly i blame the artist more than i do rihanna, but they're both at fault here. what a mess, taking religious text, stripping it from its original meaning and then putting your "sick beat" over it. there is a way to take inspiration from other cultures and religions but this just ain't it sis. 🤮🤮

Sure! I’ll send the links to you shortly :)

I hope not, because that's two lovers that Polly has lost because of Tommy! Yes you're so right, like when Tommy gets his jaw cracked (or whatever) by Father Hughes and he goes straight to Ada!! I don't think I could see Ada siding with Michael or abandoning Tommy in general...

Sorry for not answering for days! But yes, Ada's in it for life, and I think she knows that. She tried to leave when Freddie died, but got dragged right in again, so she's stuck. All she can do now is survive and help others do the same 🙃✌🏻 (and abondoning Tommy is not the solution, in her eyes, atm)

Btw, I love her and Tommy's bond, it's nearly wholesome, somehow. You don't get that a lot on this show.

as it was explained to me, (not seen supernatural but) castiel said he loved dean who looked at him like :| before castiel was thrown into super hell??? and then at the same time, there were rumours of putin resigning cos he's ill, and someone referenced both in a tweet so people found out about putin via a supernatural post about destiel and now people are talking about johnlock and potential sherlock s5 and all sorts lmao

“Dean looked at him like :|” “people found out about putin via a supernatural post” I hope to god this makes it into history books

☕ the ponds and the doctor!

I love them!! They’re a family!!!!! And that’s truly my favorite dynamic. I really think they’re platonic soulmates and the kind of relationship the three of them have just like, warms my heart. To see the three of them each with their own struggles (Amy with her mental illness and abandonment issues, Rory with his low self esteem and insecurity, and the Doctor with well, their everything) come together and by virtue of being together they all heal and grow. It’s this beautiful give and take that I truly think like, is the best of what a family can be.

I like how all three of them got the opportunity to grow alongside each other because they were all so young when they met each other (even the Doctor, despite being 900 years old, was freshly Eleven when he met the Ponds and I feel like each Doctor incarnation grows into themselves over the course of their run).

Rewatching S5-7 this year it really hit me that during “The Eleventh Hour” Amy and Rory are nineteen. They both initially travel with the Doctor when they’re 21. And also get married, which is bonkers young, but they’re soulmates. Being an adult now and watching that it’s really striking to me and it also makes a lot of series 5 make more emotional sense knowing they’re really just kids from this tiny village and that’s all they’ve really ever known.

Anyway I think it’s a really cool, unique dynamic for them to grow up alongside the Doctor for 10 years and have this fading out set up over Series 7A. I’ve mentioned before how I go back and forth on how I feel about tAtM and I don’t know how the show could’ve done a sort of slow fade on Amy and Rory (especially knowing Karen wanted there to be a hard out for Amy Pond and have her story be definitively over), but I think about it a lot because it’s a different way to get at the same conclusion of her character arc; that she’s grown past the part of her life that is traveling with the Doctor. I think it could’ve been a very powerful thing for her to be like “I love you, and you’ll always be my best friend, but this isn’t my life anymore.”

Send me a ☕️ and a topic and I’ll talk about how I feel about it
