guy who is definitely not about to fall into a surprise midday nap with an aftermath worse than a hangover: it seems like a really good idea to lay in bed and get cozy under the blanket as part of my plan not to fall asleep. I do not know why.

Emancipated duels. Photo by Pavel Kurmilev

Baroness Lubinska who presided over the famous duel between Princess Pauline Metternich and the Countess Kielmannsegg in 1892, insisted that the duelists remove their clothing above their waists to avoid infection in the event that a sword pushed clothing into the wound it caused. Being a doctor, the baroness had seen many instances of septic infection in soldiers for this very reason throughout her years of medical training.

“The cause of the duel is reputed to be an argument over arrangements for the Vienna Musical and Theatrical Exhibition.” - I like these ladies.

Hi Neil! This is kind of a silly question, regarding an ask you recently got. SInce you said you like the slang word "pookie", who would be more likely to call the other pookie, Crowley or Aziraphale? Sorry to bother you and thank you for your time and hard work.

I'm afraid I'm already way over "pookie". As Gen Z words go, it's really kind of four hours ago. Please do not use it again in my presence.

Larva Lamp.

This lamp is equipped with a handful of little *possibly sentient* grubs that float around in a viscous transparent liquid. Available at your nearby goblin wizard emporium.

I am getting so sick of shift in culture where people are now using fanfiction related tags like a fucking Burger King ordering system instead of just writing their fic ideas themselves and building up their skills by writing bad self indulgent fics first in order to write better fics later?

Like I get so annoyed when I see people posting shit like "I desperately need a fic with (super specific song) about (character) 😭" or "why is it always smut? where are all the fluffy fics?"

Write it. Write it. WRITE IT!!!!!!

If there is a specific kind of fic you want to see, write it. Fanfiction won't just come to you on a magical cloud if you wish for it and hope really hard - unlike music from your favorite band and big budget Hollywood movies, fanfiction is one thing where you can literally do it yourself with any plot you want and any characters set in any universe.

'Oh but my writing sucks-' yes and every single talented writer that you love also started out sucking. Very badly. And some of them might still believe they suck because insecurities are a thing. But they are still brave enough to push through it and write the fics they imagine in their head and even post those fics for you to enjoy.

There is something to be said for requesting fics from your favourite writer or sharing ideas for people if you want other people to write them when you don't have the time to - but if you are someone who never tries to write and just sits around wishing for someone else to write fics catered to you, then you don't understand the point of fandom.

Write the fics you dream of. Do it now!!!

I always get sort of annoyed when someone is like "I lost followers for posting this" because like, there's no way of knowing, and you kinda outed yourself as a Tumblr user who watched their follower count often enough to know.

HOWEVER I do think Tumblr should implement a feature where you can unfilled someone from their post. Like. Yeah this is the one that did it for me, do better next time and don't put this shit on my dash thanks.
