Two types of dad

[photoblogdujour]

Pink or purple Gazania is setting up her own tumblr blog so we will no longer feature her in our own PBDJ Heavy Industries blog. Don't need to support the competition when the blogging competition is already stiff (and we mean that like a drink or a dead person) enough.

[mikkeneko]

#what fucking competition you are ON TUMBLR DUMBSHIT

hey my guy. The blog of the OP, photoblogdujour, is a landscape and photography blog whose personal style is adding silly nonsense captions. 'PBDJ Heavy Industries' does not exist and most certainly is not run by a literal flower. this is something that would have been obvious from looking at any of the posts on their blog, and even without it does not warrant you jumping face first into an opportunity to be needless nasty to strangers on the internet freely sharing their art with you.

older lotr illustrations sometimes depict éowyn wearing ridiculously small armour. apart from the problem general sexualisation of the only female character (who really does anything), there’s another hilarious thought:

éowyn pretended to be dernhelm, a man. to fit in, she must have worn men’s armor. so the armor in the illustrations is normal for rohirrim.

therefore, all the rohirrim rode to war just like that:

[hobbit-hole]

there’s a thundering sound in the distance as the rohirrim ride into war but rather than hoofbeats it’s the collective sound of all their cheeks clapping

[delicatelytoobear]

the artist for this particular piece is Frank Frazetta and to be fair to him this is how he drew the orcs armor 

so the rohirrim comment is probably not that far off

[adhd-trash-mammal]

That’s a man who just straight up had a problem with the concept of wearing pants into battle, and I respect that

[cumaeansibyl]

male or female

hero or villain

sea or land

even in the snow

I guarantee you Frazetta’s Rohirrim were 100% pants-free

[missmollyetc]

Good Old Frank. That man loved bodies and hated clothes so much

[thebyrchentwigges]

[trist-pkmngal]

Frank Frazetta was the reason He-Man was designed like that; the producers conduct a study to see what art appeal the most to children, and Frank’s work came out on top in popularity. So everyone in He-Man is dressed the way they are directly because of Frazetta.

[snugglebunchesofeyes]

That man gave us the gift of warrior thighs and tits for everyone.

[olderthannetfic]

Ah, it has been too long since I have seen the no pants post on my dash. And yes, this is a rare case where it wasn’t some sexist nonsense but an egalitarian No Pants Agenda.

[olderthannetfic]

It’s time for my regular reblog of Gondor Needs No Pants

[netherworldpost]

[pleasuremostcarnal]

[yeomanrand]

I can’t remember now if it was Frank Frazetta and his Mrs. who used their own bodies for character models or if that was Boris and Mrs. Vallejo. Both pairs were ripped, though.

[cryoverkiltmilk]

Boris Vallejo married Julie Bell. This is her.

Their favorite type of woman to draw was her. If you saw a jacked woman in fantasy art or video game cover art for a good span of time, it was likely a self portrait of her to some degree.

[stealingpotatoes]

sorry my cat DOES have to hear how cute he is all the time no matter what he's doing, it's the law

[terracegardenphoenix]

People. Y'all. Guys, gals, and nonbinary pals. This is the cover of the German version of A Stitch In Time.

[gay-hrithik-roshan]

collecting these like shiny stones

[distantriver]

The conflicting desires of wanting to see Garak living it up as a househusband on Earth, deploying the full force of his Obsidian Order techniques to rule the local HOA and PTA with a velvet fist

But not being able to figure out how to get Garak off Cardassia without a depressing second exile. That man is not leaving.

[briar-birch]

Look, if anyone deserves to wake up one morning, look up, and realize, “wow. This was all for nothing. You people suck. This has done nothing but ruin my life. And you people don’t even care. This is a cult.I’m leaving.“ It’s Garak.

[unopposablethumbsao3]

Garak coming to that conclusion and then two weeks later just turning up on Julian's doorstep with five suitcases, looking around his depressing little bachelor pad and going, "well this will never do, where will I put my suits? Honestly my dear it's like you didn't think of me at all, we shall have to move at once"

And Julian, under caffeinated, unshaven and mentally ill, just going "yes, of course"

[empress-s]

Figured I’d do a little screencap redraw of That Scene since it seems to be almost a rite of passage in this fandom lol

[rubedo-and-epsilon]

“I asked ChatGPT-” Yeah well I asked Lieutenant Commander Data Soong from engineering and he told me that while he could, in fact, do my physics homework, he fears that it may have a negative impact on my academic performance and that he would not proceed with this arrangement.

[xenocomputerism]

data + spot

based off this meme i saw on tumblr

[stealingpotatoes]

my cat has been helping me write emails by sitting on my hands and completely covering my screen. very helpful. the helpfulest, even

[xenogears]

Shout out to the (many) times I got called an elitist gatekeeper for saying that the only real way to fully understand a work of fiction is to experience it firsthand and that summaries and reviews are not a replacement for that

[the-lincyclopedia]

Me, reading the first 80% of the post: What do you mean, "experience it firsthand"? How am I supposed to join the Hunger Games or go on the Odyssey?

Me, reading the final clause of the post: Oh, you literally meant that people have to read the book/listen to the audiobook in order to fully understand it. And people got mad. Oh dear.

[marisatomay]

To quote what a friend of mine said after she watched Jerry Maguire (1996) for the first time, having thought she knew what it was about because of its cultural ubiquity: “you miss a lot of a movie when you don’t watch it”

[sailermoon]

be careful with what series you watch/read during emotional points in your life because they will forever contain a ghost of your past self within it now

[sailermoon]

[supreme-leader-stoat]

I have a very rough idea in my head that I don't think I can clearly articulate beyond "And that concludes tonight's reports on German air forc—WHAT'S THIS? IT'S KING ARTHUR WITH A STEEL CHAIR"

[the-writers-wrench]

IDK what this is about, but I want to know more.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

This isn't exactly the same idea but it could be but there is more rattling around in here so:

The Blitz here manages to qualify as Britain's Darkest Hour, thus triggering the return of Arthur from the Realm Avalon.

He does not speak a lick of modern English. He speaks an unholy mishmash of Brittonic and Late Classical Latin.

(Honestly I can see the latter becoming a plot point if they manage to get their hands on a Roman Catholic priest to act as a translator. It wouldn't be a perfect arrangement, but probably better than anything else.)

Truthfully he probably gets mistaken for a madman.

Somehow manages to steal a Spitfire out from under the RAF's nose, proceeds to use it to bring down like half an enemy squadron on his own, then lands in a field in the middle of nowhere.

Police and RAF converge on his location on account of the whole "stealing a plane" thing. They eventually overwhelm him with sheer numbers, but he manages to knock out an impressive number of them in the process. I mean, come on. It's Arthur.

[leseigneurdelorage]

"a catholic priest" i mean yeah sure why not but JRRTOLKIEN himself was alive and a teacher at the time so go big or go home.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

You know what sure why not let's just make literal real-life JRRT himself a character in this Arthurian return story, he deserves it.

Has Tolkien himself entered into public domain yet?

Maryland to Become First US State to Ban Surveillance Pricing That Charges More After Mining Personal Data

Maryland will become the first US state to ban surveillance pricing in retail stores, after passing Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.

Jesus fucking christ that this exists in the first place

[aniseandspearmint]

Maryland is set to become the first US state to ban surveillance pricing in retail grocery stores, after the legislature last week passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.

Also known as dynamic or personalized pricing, surveillance pricing is when a store charges different shoppers different prices for the same item at the same time, based on something the store “knows” about them as an individual.
