This is based on the idea that for both Dwarves and Elves, braiding has a special meaning, and it is something shared between those who love and trust each other.
I imagine they got married soon after the war. Later, Legolas moved to Ithilien and Gimli to Aglarond, but they found ways to get together. This is when they got a chance to reunite and braided each other’s hair.
Kindred.
something that never fails to charm me in fanfic is when authors get a lil spicy with scene breaks.
when a simple __ just isnt doing it for you and you gotta go with a saucy little -oOoOo- or, something that always sparks joy, an actual tiny ascii drawing. i've seen danny pantom fics with little ghosts. there's one batman writer that gives a lil bat, and every time without fail i can hear the little music stinger with the spinning batman logo from the 60s show.
ao3 literally has css support, like you could actually embed your own fancy little headers and footers, but nah, old school ascii it is.
#ao3 HAS CSS SUPPORT???? (via @fedorahead)
yeah you can do some pretty wacky stuff with it, here's a fun lil example of someone playing around with it. personally my favorite is when people use mouseover text to give translations in english fics for non-english dialogue, it ends up looking real slick and professional imo.
no DNIs we just post content specifically catered to ourselves that will coincidentally alienate anyone with whom we would not want to interact
have I heard recent fandom stuff? interesting question. the answer is I did my fucking time and now I universally unilaterally refuse to learn anything ever again. thank you
Unless!! it’s VERY funny
Every time I repaint one of my dreary blue rooms a warmer colour I am amazed all over again by just how much it improves the quality of the light. "My room does not feel cozy enough" try Warm Palette. The sunlight LOVES it.
I keep going into rooms like "did I leave the light on in here? No I did not. That is The Sun.
Wonder Woman: Batman, we could make good use of Nightwing with this. Would you call him?
Dick, who's filling in for Bruce as Batman: I'll call him
---
Hal: you've gained some muscles
Jason, dressed as Nightwing: I started working out
Hal: Damn. What's the routine cause I just saw you last week and you look completely different.
Jason: steroids
Dick, as batman: *chokes on coffee*
---
Superman: We might need someone who's good with guns, hm... Hey Nightwing you're in contact with redhood, right? Could you have him come?
Jason, as Nightwing: ... I don't see why not
---
Wonder woman: this security is an issue we need someone who can hack this system long enough for us to get pass
Superman: hey hood, any chance you can give red robin a call?
Tim, with 5 inches of padding, as redhood: on it
---
Hal: isn't robin usually with you all?
Flash: yeah we could use him with this one
Superman: Red Robin, would you call in Robin for us?
Damian, in red robin costume: he's dead
Wonder Woman: I really thought we could get them to bring in the cow dressed as Robin
Superman: do you think if we stall long enough for actual Batman to recover we might get Bruce up here in scaly shorts? Is it worth a try?
Destroying my home's "resale value"* by painting it in colours that only I can love.
* Painting your home fun colours will not destroy its resale value even if you do care about that. Your home's value is primarily derived from its location and the structure/materials of the building itself. Paint your home however you want and if you do choose to sell it to somebody with better taste then repainting can be their problem.

#hell yeah!!#One day when I have my own place I shall paint the rooms different shades of purple
I painted a hallway purple with yellow trims and my brother came by while I was doing it to drop off some vodka, took one look, forced a smile and said "It sure is... bright!"
It's not even bright, it's a mid-to-dark purple. I love making people pretend to like things for politeness' sake.
Also I was just with my parents and a builder talking about renovated and he just pointed at a bunch of shit saying “oh yeah these were valuable in the past but now they look cheap”. Value is inbuilt to location and the way how suburbs in Oz (though not Derin’s city) are going the price of things rise around you. The rest is sometimes quite literally a thin veneer that makes the place look and feel good but may be torn out by the next occupier.
Living in a house for your own sake is so important.
But ok the psychological warfare Derin did to their brother is kinda evil. The sort of sibling stuff that I understand can respect tbf but still technically mean (idk he might deserve it - it’s your house)
No he's very nice, that's what makes it fun. He has to see my incredibly garish taste and be nice about it.

The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show (1983 – 1985)
“…he was a mighty cat and coal-black and evil to look upon. His eyes were long and very narrow and slanted, and gleamed both red and green, but his great grey whiskers were as stout and as sharp as needles. His purr was like the roll of drums and his growl like thunder, but when he yelled in wrath it turned the blood cold, and indeed small beasts and birds were frozen as to stone, or dropped lifeless often at the very sound.”

Reblog to continue scaring Ron.
Always a good time to scare Ron, but this month is an especially good time.
it's actually so crazy how much the simpsons would fucking suck if it didn't have any of the simpsons characters. just a bunch of shots of empty houses and streets for half an hour while nothing happens. that would be so badddd lol
yeah that tends to happen when you remove characters from media. without characters its all just background. i guess movies set in scenic locations would still land as kinda nature docs but even then
it only happens with the simpsons
this same criticism could be applied to nearly any media ever.
it's just the simpsons. are you a troll?
Dragon's right, if you remove all the Simpsons characters from Death Note it hardly changes anything
Adding more Simpsons characters to Death Note changes some things, but less than you'd think.
Late barricade day post but I didn't have anything ready, so instead have this short + silly outtake from the climbing buddies au <3
When Enjolras had said he needed eyes on the position of the police prior to the march setting off, Bahorel had been the first to volunteer, seizing the opportunity to scale a nearby lamppost. It was a good vantage point and Bahorel could see almost all the way down the Rue du Faubourg Saint Antoine from his perch. The size of the crowd was healthy, and they were spread out well; if the police attempted a kettle, they'd need at least a hundred officers blocking the main roads, and more for the side streets. It was a good position for the protest, a tactical one, and Bahorel was glad Enjolras had insisted upon it during their route planning meeting.
A voice from below pulled his attention away from the growing mass of people. It was Enjolras, shouting Bahorel's name urgently. His hands were occupied with a large flagpole, but he was indicating left with his head. Bahorel frowned, following his movement. The police over there looked pretty nonthreatening, idly standing around and chatting near one of their stupid vans. He looked back to Enjolras and shrugged with the arm that wasn't gripping the post. In response, Enjolras only gestured again, his head tilted slightly upwards this time.
Bahorel turned to his side and almost lost his grip on the lamppost.
A child sat a mere two metres away from him on the post to his left. Balanced precariously on the top, he wasn't even holding on. He grinned toothily at Bahorel and waved, which made Bahorel's heart lurch.
"Hi," said Bahorel, waving back. "You good?"
"Never better!" shouted the kid. "You?"
"I'm great. Should you be up there?"
"Should you?"
It was well argued. Bahorel looked back down to Enjolras, who was watching the interaction intently.
"Look," Bahorel said to the kid. "I'm not gonna tell you to get down. But your position doesn't look that stable. Hook your leg around like this, then you won't have to use as much energy staying balanced. It's easier if you keep a hand on the underside, too."
The kid narrowed his eyes at Bahorel, but whatever he was looking for, he obviously found it, for he nodded and did as Bahorel had instructed. Then he grinned. "That's much better."
"Told you so."
Together they watched the crowds. Below, Enjolras had subtly repositioned himself between the lampposts, spotting for two now rather than just one. He'd also lost the flag, and Bahorel saw a figure that might've been Jehan carrying it off towards the front, where people had started to move forwards.
"Looks like it's go time," Bahorel remarked. "You able to climb down?"
"Got up here, didn't I?"
Getting up and down were too very different things, but Bahorel didn't think this information would be received with grace. Instead he climbed down very carefully, aware that the kid was watching, making an effort to show where he put his feet and hands. He needn't have worried; the kid was nimble, and he slid down most of the way before jumping from the base with a peel of laughter.
"He followed you up," Enjolras said, appearing at Bahorel's shoulder. He turned to the child. "That was dangerous. You're too young to be copying him."
"You're one to talk, babyface," said the kid, and waved to Bahorel with a grin before turning and running off.
Bahorel couldn't help it, he burst out laughing. Enjolras' stunned expression was the icing on the cake, and he had to bend double in order to pull air into his lungs.
"Come on, babyface," he said once he'd recovered, nudging Enjolras in the side. Enjolras grumbled, but obliged; he'd always been good at picking his battles.

Problematizing gothic horror for having monsters that slot uncomfortably into various subjugated and otherized ethnic stereotypes often falls flat when you remember that "the humans are the real monsters" is like, the surface level reading of basically any fictional media that has monsters? Did this book written two centuries ago really "age poorly" or did you just successfully uncover the main theme from reading the back cover and then decide it was unintentional?
Is Dracula really a subconscious manifestation of British xenophobic paranoia, or did an ardent lifelong supporter of Irish Home Rule who had an obsession with Eastern European folklore that brought him into contact with literary figures from that tradition *deliberately mock* that very same contemporary xenophobic paranoia in his horror novel about how the colonizer fears that what he has done will be done to him? Do we think the effeminacy and homoeroticism in Count Dracula belie a fear of homosexual degeneracy that lay unexamined within the close friend of Oscar Wilde's who visited him after his exile, or was it perhaps a caricature of the same? Can you learn all these facts about Bram Stoker in less than five minutes by reading the wikipedia article on him?
