Excessively nerdy and egregiously witty. This place is a dumpster fire for trash royalty. You can call me Escher.

I saw a gifset of Quorra in Uprising, and one of them made me think of something else.

The Stranger

Missy's entrance Bring It On (2000)

blessyouhawkeye

forever thinking about that girl at my uni orientation who, after being told to pour out her water bottle before entering an event, looked at me and said "they tell us to stay hydrated and then make us pour out our water, this is like totally kafkaesque" and then poured out what was very obviously an entire water bottle full of whiskey. hope she's doing well.

listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream off, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.

This is actually what I was adviced to do at the work rehabilitation program I went to. Hasn't left my mind since. 10/10 solid advice

Reverse Mulan about a young man who disguises himself as a noblewoman and has to learn how to do passive-agressive politicking at dinner parties.

He does so to dodge the draft

God, now I’m thinking about student Dorian at the Necropolis, sneaking out at night to canoodle with another boy and getting caught by Professor Volkarin, who gives them a talking to (he’s not judging too harshly, but it’s not safe for students to wander the Necropolis unattended!) and sends them back to the dormitories.

Or at least he meant to, but young Master Pavus seems genuinely upset for some reason, which is quite unlike the usually flippant young man. He asks Emmrich if his father is going to be told about this, which has Emmrich baffled because why would a magister need to be told about his son engaging in a bit of ordinary teenage mischief?

And then Dorian finally manages to get out that no, he’s not talking about the sneaking out part. He’s afraid his father is going to be told that he was with another boy.

And the whole awful situation finally clicks into place for Emmrich, who now has to sit down with Dorian and explain that of course his father won’t be told, because there’s nothing wrong with the gender of the person he’s choosing to spend his time with. If his father takes issue with it, then his father is the one in the wrong. There is nothing wrong with Dorian being who he is.

And now Emmrich also has to pretend he can’t tell that Dorian is trying very hard not to cry, because he’s never had an adult say any of this to him before, and it’s something he’s needed to hear for so long.

Come on tumblr you’ve been better.

Where are the Dean Cipher fics? It’s been days since the episodes came out.

I want Cipher fics on my table by 2PM, or so help me God.

(I will do nothing, but I will be sad)

And you know what else bothers me? The sanitisation of characters and setting in Veilguard is so complete that not even Assan escapes it. I'm currently rereading Last Flight for fic reasons and it really hits how differently griffons are portrayed in the novel compared to Assan, who has basically taken on the role of a Disney animal sidekick. In the book, griffons are proud, territorial, and fierce. They demand absolute devotion from their riders, they have to be fed separately to avoid fights breaking out, they can outmanoeuvre an archdemon and punch darkspawn hard enough with their talons to break necks.

And yes, Assan is still growing, it's possible the fierce territoriality won't hit until he reaches adulthood and his easy affection could be either his immaturity or his individual personality, but he's still an apex hypercarnivore whose two constituent parts are also apex hypercarnivores. Taking him into Arlathan should result in a massive decline in the local nug population as he practices his hunting skills, and Davrin should be learning how to manage his flying weight the way falconers do with their birds, because apex predators don't exert themselves when their bellies are full. That halla should have been put out of its misery. At full growth he'll be eating a goat a day at least. He should not be being fed yams or carrots.

And her sister, the moon! Always going through some sort of phase🌙

tumblr is so funny it’s just scrapbooking for your hyperfixations. like yeah here’s a gifset that’s here for no reason other than the fact that I think it’s Pretty. here’s hugh dancy for the same reason. here’s me rambling about the thing that’s been itching my brain for months. here’s me giggling in the corner. here’s unadulterated mental illness

1) Put four pills on each side. The heavier side has the pill. Take the four pills from the heavier side.

2) Put two of the potential pills on each side of the scale. The heavier side has the poison pill.

3) Take the two potential pills. Swallow one. If you survive, you are holding the poison pill. If you die, you have eaten the poisoned pill. Either way you will find out which one it is for sure

1) Weigh 6 of them, 3 on each side 2a) If both sides are equal, weigh the 2 you didn’t use before. 2b) If one side was heavier, pick 2 of the 3 and weigh them. Heavier one is poisoned. If they’re even, it’s the 3rd.

Well, all I can say is that we all have our methods and some of us are more willing to take a risk in the name of science
