A black dragón floating above the clouds

So others need not squint to read “On March 11, 889 CE, 17 year-old Emperor Uda wrote:  ‘On the 6th day of the 2nd Month of the First Year of the Kampo era. Taking a moment of my free time, I wish to express my joy of the cat. It arrived by boat as a gift to the late Emperor, received from the hands of Minamoto no Kuwasahi.  The color of its fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink. It has an air about it, similar to Kanno. Its length is 5 sun, and its height is 6 sun. I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long. In rebellion, it narrows its eyes and extends its needles. It shows its back. When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. you cannot see its feet. It’s as if it were a circular Bi disk. When it stands, its cry expresses profound loneliness, like a black dragon floating above the clouds. By nature, it stalks birds. It lowers its head and works its tail. It can extend its spine to raise its height by at least 2 sun. Its color allows it to disappear at night. I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.’”

Okay I actually have a personal headcanon about this and it’s that Thor, being the God of Thunder (and also lightning), you know, that dude who routinely has lightning just casually run through his body, doesn’t have a computer because electronic mail is a thing which can literally just come to him, personally, via the electricity that passes through his body on the regular.

Which would make sending an email to Thor something like sending a letter to Santa as a kid, you just kind of fling the email out there to whatever address you think might get to Thor, and it will.

If you think this won’t work, I point you to the term God, and say, totally, it will. He’s not a dude loosely associated with this thing, he’s the God of it.

I thought it was just coz he majored in theoretical physics not engineering.

I mean that too

I thought it was just because he hung out around Tony stark and stark kept going on about technology so thor learned SOME of the important words and stuff, but not enough for a Complete knowledge….

But yours is way cooler

anyway just a reminder for the myth lovers out there

king arthur was welsh. merlin was welsh. camelot was in wales. the lady and the lake she pops out of; welsh. excalibur; magic inanimate welsh object. etc.

on the way to see family, i drive past a lake that in which is welsh legend, is the last resting place of excalibur.

i’m just saying in my experience a lot of these legends had been so anglo-fied in the past and it’s like, all this cool shit is celtic welsh legend.

Yes! This is one of the things I’m really excited about having actually seen addressed in a book I got to work on for Scion 2e: Once and Future.

A legit Welsh scholar wrote the Plant Dôn pantheon, and all (almost all? I wrote that bit but it’s been a while and I may have muddled smth) of the antagonists/creatures in the book are Welsh in origin.

Of course there’s also a section where we talk about the fact that a Grail can be anything and if it works out for your game that it’s a Taco Bell cup, then go for it, so, you know. Take that with a grain of salt. But I’m really excited about what the team did.

The word “Grail” is etymologically descended from the latin word for Serving Platter (Gradalis), so arguably the grail could be a Taco Bell *tray*…

I mean the point we were making is that it’s really about what works for your story and that changing and amending the story is totally within the scope and tradition of the tales themselves. Canon is a corset: properly fitted, it should support, not restrict. If it restricts you unduly, take the damn thing off.

But anyway honor the Welsh roots of Arthur with your Taco Bell Grail Accessories.

Rita Skeeter reports a new couple alert! Pansy Parkinson looked very cozy with the infamous Holyhead Harpies chaser, Ginevra Weasley, at the charity match yesterday afternoon. Who knew snakes were fond of lions?

Oh my god this is too gorgeous to handle—look at them!! 😍❤️

theres no mixed races in skyrim. you trying to tell me that two elves never fucked? like wood elves and high elves can look fairly similar sometimes so even if theyre both racist they may not know. “oh shit we made some kinda high wood elf. some sorta weed elf”

cleaning with ADHD is a nightmare. it’s an endless cycle of finding a half-finished chore and stopping the one you were already working on, then remembering that something else needs to be done and getting started on that, then finding half-finished chore and

i have the solution! i call it ‘junebugging’.

have you ever seen a junebug get to grips with a window screen? it’s remarkably persistent, but not very focused. all that matters is location.

how to junebug: choose the location you feel you can probably get some shit done on today. be specific. not ‘the bathroom’ but ‘the bathroom sink’. you are not choosing a range, you are choosing a center; you will move around, but your location is where you’ll keep coming back to. mentally stick a pin in it. consider yourself tethered to that spot by a long mental bungee cord.

go to your location. look at stuff. move stuff around. do a thing. get distracted. remember you’re junebugging the bathroom sink and go back there. look at it some more. do a different thing. get distracted. get a sandwich. remember you’re junebugging and go back to the bathroom sink.

nt’s will go crazy watching you, and if they demand to know When You Will Be Done you will probably have to roll them in a carpet and stuff them up the chimney. you’re done when you feel done, or you’re too bored to live, or it’s bedtime, or any number of other markers, you get to pick. but the thing is, by returning repeatedly to that one spot, you harness the ‘hyperactivity’ part instead of wasting all that energy battling with the ‘attention deficit’ part.

not only will the bathroom sink almost certainly be clean, and probably the mirror and soap dish too, you might’ve swapped in a fresh toothbrush, a new soap, you might’ve unclogged the drain – you will probably also have cleaned or fixed up several things in the near vicinity, or in the path between the sink and where you get the fresh toothbrush, or maybe you did your grocery shopping cuz you were out of soap, or maybe you couldn’t find a clean hand towel and ended up doing laundry.

this is good. you got shit done! it wasn’t necessarily Cleaned The Bathroom in the way nt’s think of it, but screw ‘em. things are better than they were.

plus you worked off enough energy to be able to sleep. which is not small potatoes when living the ADHD life. :D

Don’t let the adorable name fool you—this is some Seriously Good Advice. May be useful for brain fog and depression, too!

Reblogging to save my fellow ADHD peeps from the Sisyphusian curse of cleaning with no focus.

OMG That is so cute!!

Also the reason that the cat did this is actually because they are mirroring their owner. If their owner treats the thing (or in this case book) with respect and has made it very clear with their actions that the thing is important the cat will take notice and mirror this behavior!

Great addition! However, this is actually because the cat is Muslim.

This porno didn’t fuck around

there’s… a lot to take in here…

I was so flummoxed by this I had to learn more, so I took to Google, where I found this blog post by Dan Cardone, who was a grip on this film. Some highlights:

This was the first set I had been on that featured three directors, and hopefully the last. One director was there to primarily film the sex scenes, which he did effectively and economically. The other two directors handled what is called in porn-lingo ‘B-Roll’, i.e. everything non sexual. Which on this film was substantial. The plot for To The Last Man involves two ranches populated entirely by horny men who have random sex and feud over water, as they are in the middle of a crippling drought. Which is why we filmed in Arizona during thunderstorm season…
It’s amazing no one got killed, or seriously injured. There was horse riding, there were fight scenes of rocky escarpments, there were drownings. When the real guns and live ammunition came out for a scene I thought, “That’s it, I’m going back to the truck”.
Fortunately, one of the models was also a fully qualified nurse, so that saved money, time and also lives. Plus, he was sexy, so it was win/win.
