Prepare for Trouble and Make it Double! @xnyasux - Tumblr Blog

five thousand years of slavery, oppression and suffering

been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which I call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter

Please keep making art. Please make it for yourself. Please don’t let everything become even more of the same flat general appeal nonsense that doesn’t seem to have anything to say

1856: The young bride didn’t seem to think that it made any difference

“A woman has been arrested in Syracuse, New York, on complaint of her father-in-law, whose daughter she had married a few days before. She wore a complete suit of man’s apparel–and had evidently got a wife ‘under false pretences.’ The young bride didn’t seem to think that it made any difference, and clung to her female husband with all a wife’s affection. The justice committed the imposter to prison ‘for further examination’–but under what law she can be punished we confess ourselves ignorant.”

~From Meigs County telegraph. (Pomeroy [Ohio]), 13 May 1856. Chronicling America. Lib. of Congress.

Nova's tips for beating the heatwave:

1. Check that you have good access to shade trees, a shelter custom made to fit you and all your friends, and plenty of good airflow

2. Find the hottest, sunniest, and least windy part of you pasture and lay down

3. Make sure you look as much as possible like you have died of heatstroke

4. Get your friends in on it

I hope the translator will help me tell this incredible love story of the Bartimaeus Trilogy❤

This summer, I accidentally found out that the artist of one of my favorite Trilogy @oneeyedmagi artworks lives with me in the same country. It took me a long time to decide to write to her, and that's what happened.

We started chatting - there were a lot of conversations, jokes and ideas to do something interesting for the fendom of the Bartimaeus Trilogy. She was very supportive of me in cosplay, and I even decided to register on Tumblr to show it.

The drawings and drawings by other authors, as well as your kind words, inspired me so much that I invited her to come to me and do Nathaniel's cosplay.

And it happened.

Jesus, I still don't believe that someone traveled 800 miles for cosplay. We took incredibly cool photos and videos. 800 MILES!!!

Damn, just look at this!

@jonathanstroud - look HOW Much We Love the Bartimaeus Trilogy❤❤❤

oneeyedmagi

Whew, okay. Took a breath, got some fresh air.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WE REALLY DID THIS just absolutely unreal

Ever since I read The Bartimaeus Trilogy, I've just been obsessed with it. And now. WE GOT THIS. I never thought it would happen??

It was so fun cosplaying together with amazing @silverfeatheredserpent THANK YOU MY BEST DJINNI EVER, LOVE YOU SO MUCH 🧡✨ Everything with you is so much fun and having you as my Bartimaeus means world to me!

INCREDIBLE WE DID THIS TOGETHER THANK YOU AGAIN ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

And I'm extremely thankful to everyone who shares and likes it!

But be careful, boy.

british is not synonymous with white

european is not synonymous with white

the world is not divided into USA (melting pot), white countries and brown countries

"um you know the type of person I mean when I say british" hey do you think this line of thought may have Implications

cynical-mysanthrope

Idk, isn't saying european /= white is like saying china /= chinese? Like yeah, other peoples live there too, but it's mostly just the one, init?

mortalityplays

'Chinese' is a nationality. There are 56 officially recognised ethnic groups within China. Europe is a continent, comprised of around 50 countries each with their own demographic makeup. So, no.

hedge-rambles

Something like 20-25% of British people are, in fact, not white. And excluding those people as "yeah but they're not like British British" is the fucking mating call of our local hooting racists.

"British food is soooo bad/gross/flavourless"

All of it? Or just a couple of cherry-picked dishes mainly eaten by lower class families that you think are weird? Many types of curries are made/eaten by British people every day and those aren't suddenly "not-British" bc you've decided people with South Asian heritage aren't British or capable of contributing to British culture. "Yeah but South Asian people are only in England bc of colonisation :/" Are Black people not American bc many of them are there bc of slavery? Is soul food not American??

"British accents are soooo cringe"

All of them? or just the ones used by people who've been forcibly made "lower class" by centuries of oppression? these are the people who say "boht-ole 'o whot-arh" or "innit." The white ruling class you're supposedly mocking doesn't say that. It's poorer white ppl & POC.

but you know who else mocks/stigmatises cultural food they don't like and any accents (including British ones) they think sound funny/incorrect?

the white British ruling class. you are doing white British ruling class behaviour when you do this shit. stop it.
