Staining Your Mind

My point with everything I do is to make you pause, and THINK, to open your mind, because a closed mind might as well be a dead one. I'm a lyrics writer, and I use that gift to spread messages of hope and love, to inspire anyone who reads my words. We are one world, one people, with one voice, and yet, we completely fail to understand each other. I am someone who believes he can change that. From time to time I post my work, or links to my work here on tumblr, I post most of my writing on Redbubble.

Oh. My. GOD. I just died.

what the fuck ethan

[kvothbloodless]

I wish i had a context for this. But I really dont.

[pervocracy]

I was all ready to “um, actually” this, but, um, actually there’s about 3-4 grams of iron in a person, which x400 is 1.2-1.6kg, which is a smallish but not unreasonable sword. So. Math checks out.

[maxknightley]

How would you extract the iron, though? The more practical solution would be to kill a mere hundred men, then mix 1 part blood with 3 parts standard molten iron, imo. Cheaper and faster, while still retaining the edge that only evil magic can give you.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

Or, you could just make the sword of iron, and then use the blood to temper the blade.

[squeeful]

1.2 to 1.6 kilograms is a perfectly reasonable large sword.  Your average longsword was 1.1–1.8 kg and I don’t even remember if that’s including the weight of the hilt, guard, and pommel or just the blade.  Your more classic “knight sword” was a mere 1.1 kilograms on average; the blood of 400 men is more than enough.

This is using the comparatively crappy metallurgy of medieval Europe and their meh iron swords.  Move east to, say, contemporary Iran and make a scimitar using high carbon steel (~2%) for a .75 kilogram blade and you only need the blood of about 225 men.

[optimysticals]

So putting my thoughts in on this… because how could I not.

So you’ve exsanguinated your 400 guys to get the iron for your sword. Cool. But now you have 400 bodies lying around.

Why not put those to good use and cremate them. Use the carbon from those 400 bodies (you won’t need all of them) and now you can make a nice mid-high carbon steel sword.

Now you have a sword forged with the blood of your enemies AND strengthened with their bones.

This is officially my favorite post ever.

[r-e-d-rum-deactivated20190110]

sometimes I’ll be minding my own business and suddenly an intrusive thought comes along like “what if you killed the person next to you” or “imagine if you just stood up and stabbed yourself in the eye” and I’m like cHILL

[thisarrogantreality]

Both of these have happened to me.

[r-e-d-rum-deactivated20190110]

me- “I’m going to make something of my life! I’m going to eat healthy and exercise more! I’m going to focus on what’s good for myself, I’ll read more and be kinder to everybody and make friends!!”

BPD- *laughing hysterically in the background*

me- “or nah”

[thisarrogantreality]

Too right, that. I’m beating mine, though.

Omfg, I died laughing. Then realized, after the mirth, that this is actually a real thing. Then I re-animated, and died laughing again.

laying down the god damn law on this tinder boy

[gabydunn-deactivated20200106]

lol

[thisarrogantreality]

Actually, not true. Arabic and African women have been shaving their body hair for centuries, in part due to the preference of the males in their societies, in part due to sanitary issues where they lived. Western civilization took that idea, and applied capitalism to it, and that happened at the end of the 1800′s, not the second decade of the 1900′s.

Women shave today for a large number of reasons, so laying it all on that one thing shows a very closed worldview, and closed mind.

30 years ago today, I, along with my classmates and so many other children all over our country, watched you launch towards space.

You didn't make it, not physically.

30 years later, I still feel the horror I felt then. I still cry when I remember. I still feel so much for not only the families of your crew, but for all my classmates who experienced the same things I did.

We watched a dream literally explode, but thanks to your crew, their families, and so many people who simply refused to give up, that dream did not die.

The years since have been true tests of courage, fortitude, conviction, and the ability to keep dreaming in spite of what happens to us. What happened that day turned from a horrible accident into a light of inspiration.

I didn't see your sister on her last day, so the pain I feel over her loss, it just doesn't compare to how I feel about yours. Not only were we students watching you fly, one of our teachers was part of your crew.

Very few days have passed that didn't have me thinking of you in some way. I hope that is how it will always be.

It keeps you and your crew immortal.

A child's dream, still flying.
