Nevermore

She/Her I lied in the blog title. I can and will be posting about whatever fandom I'm fixating on at the moment. There will be no way to predict what this will be or when it will change, but the current list (in order of appearance) is: 1.) Nevermore (Webtoons) 2.) Yellowjackets (Netflix) 3.) The Hunger Games (books) 4.) Turn (Netflix) 5.) The Great Gatsby (Book)

Hello please reblog this if you’re okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better

[ohgollythatsuh]

nevermore modern au where lennabel + willtresor accidentally end up as next door neighbours in suburbia and Lenore and Montresor are WAY too intense about their yardwork, prompting the most dangerous lawn-related rivalry in history

[gelatinefishy]

OOOOH OOH AND CAN I ADD???

Annabel invites Will over for games at some point and he beats her by sheer luck and she has had a (one?) sided rivalry ever since

[ohgollythatsuh]

the concept of annabel lee whitlock-vandernacht having a one sided beef with the actual dumbest guy around is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard

[gelatinefishy]

i just thought of moreeee

the only time ever Will gets mad at Montressor is whan he insulted his sourdough bread

and i KNOW RIGHT

[tootiredforusernamesorspacing]

Wanted to draw Annabel Lee from Nevermore as a bird

Reblog if you’re part of a hostile nation that’s declared war on Australia

[mycroftrh]

Oh my god though guys you don’t know the best thing!  The best thing is: he’s right.

The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands is a micronation near Australia.  This is their flag:

The Gay Kingdom (as it is colloquially known) was founded in 2004 in protest against Australia’s legal stance against same-sex marriage.

Here are some of their stamps:

They are currently ruled by Emperor Dale I, and their currency is the Pink Dollar.

And, indeed - they declared war on Australia for not recognizing same-sex marriages performed outside the country.  (Second link.)

You’re telling me there has been a Gay Island this ENTIRE TIME and I’m only just finding out about it????

[feitanswife]

WHAT

[gondorsfinest]

okay, but not enough people know the details on this. people at pride were upset about gay rights in australia. so they decided to sail 200 miles into the coral sea just ‘cause and put a rainbow flag on a fucking empty island out of spite. and i’m talking empty. no inhabitants. zero. it was a flat piece of land with a bit of dry grass. now it has a camp site and a post office. 

they have a declaration of independence that talks a bit about gay rights and then just flat out copies the “life liberty and the pursuit of happiness” part from the american declaration of independence. and here’s the best part: the founding group actually elected their emperor. he was originally going to be called the “administrator” of a republic. their website, however, says that “upon legal advice, his title was changed to that of Sovereign on the grounds that under Australian law a defacto prince trying to claim his crown cannot be charged with treason”. so they made it a kingdom and he now claims to be a descendent of edward ii.

everything about this is glorious and everyone should know about it.

Not one of you mentioned that the anthem for this nation is I Am What I Am by Gloria Gaynor. Not. One. Of. You.

[ebonykain]

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever read

[faejilly]

Highlights from the timeline via wikipedia as this thread is from 2017:

As previously mentioned, the idea originated at Pride (Brisbane 2003) in reaction to punitive anti-marriage legislation

“On the 14th day of June 2004, at this highest point in the Coral Sea, Emperor Dale Parker Anderson raised the gay rainbow flag and claimed the islands of the Coral Sea in his name as homeland for the gay and lesbian peoples of the world. God Save our King!”

The campsite/capital Heaven was named after the London nightclub

War was declared on Australia in September 2004

The aforementioned stamps were issued in July 2006 “with the aim of creating a high and distinctive reputation amongst the philatelic fraternity”

They were never recognized legally/internationally as a micronation (and in fact Anderson refused to attend a conference in 2010 because they weren’t actually trying to be a sovereign nation)

In Feb 2017, Abetz was objecting to the flag of a “hostile nation” being flown

The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands was dissolved in November 2017 (when same-sex marriage was legalized)

Okay so I found this new snack from Trader Joe’s and its so good but also I feel so acutely American (derogatory) when I’m eating them because they’re basically potato chips covered in chocolate

[tootiredforusernamesorspacing]

Something that always gets me in Turn is how differently John André and Ben get treated by their bosses. General Clinton gave that man a goddamn house because he knew it would make André happy, meanwhile Washington is basically hazing Ben throughout the entire series

Anyway that’s why you wear wool and a life jacket babeeeyyyy

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

The important thing about wool is that it continues to keep you warm even when it’s soaking wet.

Other natural fibers don’t do this. In fact, quite the opposite. Campers and boaters are usually familiar with the phrase, “cotton kills.” If you’re wet in cotton or linen, your clothes actually sap heat from your body.

If you sink in a lake in late October like I did today, staying warm is important. I was rescued long before I would’ve actually died, but cold makes your muscles seize up, which isn’t good if you have to swim to land.

Which brings me around to life jackets. If the water’s cold enough, you may only have five-ten minutes until your muscles seize (today I probably had 40-60, more than enough time to get to land if I hadn’t been picked up), and you’ll drown.

In a life jacket, even in extremely cold water, you can float semi-conscious for perhaps another 30 minutes or so before you actually freeze to death, which is usually when someone rescues you.

What’s more, you probably know that moving around on land warms you up. Jumping jacks, jogging in place, etc.

In water, moving actually makes you colder. You need to stay still curled up in a ball, which you can only do in a life jacket.

In wool AND life jacket, you’re warm, and your head’s above water, which is pretty much your only and entire goal.

If you’re allergic to wool, synthetics are available specifically for this purpose. I know I always say natural fibers are the way to go, but when it comes to safety, wear what protects you!

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

Yep! A really simple “experiment” I learned as a kid and now use in my own courses is sticking your hand in ice water. Compare moving it around in the water to curling it up in a fist. The contrast is stark!

To increase your survival time in on cold water, you want to curl up! If you’re with others, you want to huddle!

Again, both are only possible when wearing a life jacket!

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

I know a lot of people are reblogging this for writing reference, but I like to believe that 7,000 people on this site were actually continually living in fear about this specific situation and that when the time comes, I’ve prepared them with what they need to know to survive.

I’ve been experimenting with the charcoal brushes on procreate recently and I did this one of Annabel Lee’s specter. I feel like they work pretty well with the gothic style of the comics.

Headcanon that Jackie’s parents helped pay for Shauna and Jeff’s wedding. Either that or Jackie was going to wear her mom’s wedding dress when she got married but then Shauna got it instead. Ghost Jackie shows up to the wedding.

[tootiredforusernamesorspacing]

So I’ve been thinking about this some more and while Jackie is absolutely a femme, her style is somewhat more… streamlined, I guess? than that dress would make you think. It has lots of lace flowers and a sweetheart neckline and a skirt that really flares out at the waist and while none of that is even close to Shauna’s style it really doesn’t resemble Jackie’s, either.

So we’ve seen a few of Jackie’s outfits so far, and so I think we can all agree that she really likes layered sweater vests and t-shirts. Even her Doomcoming dress, though it does have that bow on the front, is pretty simplistic in design. Shauna, on the other hand, likes a flannel shirt and jeans, which does not match the dress at all.

The wedding dress we see Shauna wearing in the photograph doesn’t match either Jackie or Shauna’s styles, but it very well could be Jackie’s mother’s dress. I know it can be something of a tradition for a daughter to wear her mother’s wedding dress, and it seems like that might have happened here.

Shauna is possessive of Jackie to the extreme, we know this already. I’m not even going to list any examples, because just watching the show should be enough. So Shauna wearing the dress to her wedding with Jackie’s boyfriend is simultaneously the ultimate possession of and misunderstanding of Jackie as a person.

Sure, it’s Jackie’s mother’s dress, being worn to the day we just know Jackie had binders of planned ideas about in middle school. But Jackie never loved Jeff. And the dress was never Jackie’s style.

I told my therapist a story about my mother and she just kind of stared at me for like five seconds and then just said in a quiet voice “her therapist is going to have a lot of work in front of them” and that’s the most gratified I’ve ever felt in my life

Check out my latest TURN video. I am really proud of the way this turned out. Pleas be sure to let me know what you think in the comments below.

In the middle of this drawing. Started with Marlene because she’s Marlene, then added Lily because I also like her, and I would honestly surprise myself with my self restraint if I don’t add every single Marauders character to this by the end of it.

Also, they’re all trans. Every single person in the wizarding world is, JKR is just a fucking idiot and doesn’t see the vision.

I love that the Odyssey is basically just recounting Odysseus’ former gifted child burnout. He truly does it like no one else. Imagine going from the guy who came up with a brilliant tactic that won a stalemated war and was revered for centuries after his death to the kind of person that shouts his home address at someone trying to kill him

[tootiredforusernamesorspacing]

I think it would actually be so funny if Odysseus from the end of Epic was somehow dropped at the beginning again because the plot would change so much from even the first song. Imagine this:

Odysseus: I could make sure his past is never known-

Zeus: The gods will make him know

Odysseus: …so then I could just kill you and nothing would happen?

And like on a slightly more somber note if Odysseus was skeptical of Open Arms on the first go around just think of how much worse he would be in this universe

So I’m taking this world history class right now and its honestly shocking how much of history is just Europe being fucking messy and making it everyone else’s problem

In sixth grade biology class I once got a 100 on a quiz when the average was like an 80. That was my peak
