Tumble Into Darkness

No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it. -Terry Pratchett

Guy who has heard other guys refer to their wives as "ball and chain" and "battle-axe" and wrongfully assumed you can refer to your wife as any medieval weapon: oh there's my beautiful Lucerne hammer

[rosengeist]

“Ah, behold, my Halberd approaches!”

“She is my angel, my Morning Star!”

“My stiletto in stilettos!”

“My fiesty little Flamberge!”

“Quite the little Mancatcher isn’t she?”

“What can she do?! What BarbiCANT she do?!”

Honestly, this is fun and just sounds like if Gomez Addams was a medieval Lord at a joust or something.

“From whence you came” is a classic place to send back a foul beast

Peoples' desire to burn the Gävle goat isn't about them hating it. It's a "my son loved your drawing so much that he ate it" sort of a deal.

[janokenmun]

also the endless allure of arson

[homunculus-argument]

Oh yeah we definitely also love arson.

[flameraven]

Look, the Long Night demands a sacrifice to chase away the dark and cold. You need a burnt offering. The bigger, the better. You can't make a giant flammable effigy and NOT give it to the gods of Winter.

john william waterhouse wanted to get fucked by a witch sooo bad

[curseworm]

those wands r just metaphors for the strap

[curseworm]

john william waterhouse wandering aeaea like oh boy i sure hope no morally complex seminude witches debase and humiliate me by transmogrifying me into a filthy animal 😏

[bemusedlybespectacled]

waterhouse is good at one thing and one thing only and that is painting women who will absolutely step on you

actually I lied he’s also good at drawing flowers but it’s mostly women with BDE (big dom energy)

[gothslut]

[peachfromcmbyn]

i’m going to start flagrantly lying about corsets to counteract all the historical costuming people being weird about them

[peachfromcmbyn]

corsets killed hundreds of women each day

[peachfromcmbyn]

corsets were responsible for the irish potato famine and the great chicago fire

[stephenroot]

It’s actually false that historical low life expectancy is due to infant mortality, it’s because corsets killed thousands of women a week.

[peachfromcmbyn]

not many people know this but it was corsets that caused the schism of 1054. masterminded the whole thing.

[stephenroot]

The explosion was because the Hindenburg was wearing a corset.

[peachfromcmbyn]

there wasn’t even a jack the ripper their corsets just did that

The only AI-generated art I will accept:

the uncanny valley between “this academic article doesn’t make sense because i’m an idiot” and “this academic article doesn’t make sense because the author is an idiot”

oh to be a 1920′s detective with lots of beautiful clothes and endless confidence and a mysteriously large amount of money

If someone asks me what dnd is, ill refer them to this clip

[mikkeneko]

so the funniest thing about this to me was that in earlier editions of D&D, one of the ways that bardic inspiration worked was that the bard could sing a little song to aid another player with a performance check

which led to the peculiar situation of a player creeping through a dungeon or fortress with the bard trailing along behind them, playing the Secret Secret Stealthy Hush Song

“modern AU Yennefer, Ciri, Geralt and jaskier 🌻⭐️🌸 #TheWitcher”

I love this bcos they look like they’re dressed up to go to 4 completely different events which is VERY apt.

[penny-anna]

Geralt: I’ve never been to a parent-teacher night before. What do I wear??

Ciri: there’s no dress code, just dress like you normally would

Geralt: got it. I’ll tell the others.

*later*

Ciri: guys. what the FUCK.

[cliyoh]

Picture for the people who are too lazy to click the link, by @ thisuserisangry on Twitter

Yen and Geralt look like her rich ass goth parents. Ciri is embarrassed by them but even more by Jaskier because what the fuck are you wearing?

Jaskier is just trying to compensate for the rest of the family by wearing some color

[penny-anna]

you can tell they’re a well-adjusted family bcos they have a perfect 50:50 goth:prep ratio
