underrated fantasy thing is when authors want to avoid giving an actual earth year their story takes place so the characters say shit like "back in the Year Of The Skateboarding Dragon" and all the other characters are like ah yes how could we forget the crops were so plentiful the year that dragon did those sweet sweet kickflips
saw a post abt HBO removing shows that suggests ppl just “burn dvds” but everyone doesnt know how to do that so here is one way to do that
- get blank dvds (Both +R or -R work, I think +R is slightly cheaper, the difference is rewritability), these are not very expensive for the amount you can get in bulk (if you are in the US 100 of them is about 30$ at walmart)
- an external DVD drive that plugs in via usb is also around 20-40$ (it tends to be closer to 20)
- download DVDFlick (free)
- if you don’t already have the mp4/mpeg of whatever media you want to burn, you can download movies/shows off of sites like gomovies.sx and soap2day
gomovies.sx will have a download button that looks like this
below the video you can choose one of these
if you click streamlare for example and then the download button it will take you here where the mp4 is
(if you’re on an iphone/ipad, clicking download will save it to your files app)
- if you cant find the download button on soap2day you can also install a video downloader extension which will find the movie for you
- at this point you can drag and drop it into a google drive or keep it on your computer but if you still want it on dvd ->
- open dvd flick, drag and drop the video
- click “project settings”
- give it whatever title you want, you can change encoder to “normal” (default is below normal if you are doing other things on the computer). you dont need to change target size or thread count (unless you want to)
- insert a blank dvd into your drive, make sure you click “burn project to disc”
- click accept then click “create dvd” next to menu and project settings. it will create a destination folder and this dialogue box will pop up when you click “create” on more dvds, just click “yes” and then “okay” on the box that appears after it
it’ll take a couple hours, once its done take a sharpie & write whats on it and stick it in a case . or dont . im not ur mom
🔫 check the notes for my replies i am no longer asking 🔫
people are so used to online content being curated for their consumption that they forget tumblr isn’t like that… this is my diary. I don’t post for other people. if you find the stuff I post depressing or annoying or too much or u don’t agree or whatever whatever…. that’s fine it’s not For You? it’s for me. there is no audience I’m performing for. feel free to unfollow me if u don’t like, I’m not a carefully crafted online persona I’m a real person
Next on the tumblr merch store is some fine quality copper bracelets. We ordered the very best from this merchant called ea nasir, I hope this goes well
So we have some bad news. The copper was of subpar quality, and we can't currently sell any bracelets :(
Just know we are sending a scathing review of ea nasir's copper so no one else falls for it
dead xD
Ah I definitely have a couple clones I still gotta put on the master list, but I keep forgetting about it. Sorry
mr president another dril tweet has manifested itself into reality
Enough games. We need MEN in sundress with no panties. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought this expensive ass yogurt as a gift to myself so that I could make little candles in the tiny terracotta pot it comes in and it turns out it is the best, creamiest, most buttery heavenly delicious yogurt I have ever tasted and I’m now addicted
sometimes things that are expensive are worse but sometimes things that are expensive are astronomically better and that’s where the real problem lies

I love u halloween where millions of people dress up and give candy to strangers and carve jack o’lanterns. I love u small talk and small towns and potlucks and bringing over casseroles to your struggling neighbors. I love u cowboys and ranch hands and arizonian cactus. I love u appalachian trail and dirtbikes and divebars. I love u sparklers and fireflies. I love u mark twain and toni morrison and emily dickinson and henry david thoreau. I love u rock n roll i love u bluegrass and hippies i love u jimi hendrix and nirvana and CCR and janis joplin. I love u victorian houses and jonny appleseed and john henry and mothman and bigfoot.

Anonymous asked:
Having watched "Vikings," "Vikings: Valhalla," "The Northman," etc... and now wondering what was physical physique was like for real Vikings? Wondering if they were that into the CrossFit lifestyle in real life as they are in modern TV and movies?
Oof, that's a dangerous amount of Vikinger propaganda to take in all at once. You might want to watch "The Last Kingdom" to balance yourself out...
No, it's not. That's not what anyone's physical physique looked like in a premodern era that did not have access to cheap and abundant protein, modern gyms and professional trainers, a soupçon of performance-enhancing drugs, and a dangerous amount of deliberate dehydration and dieting in order to get those ab muscles to really "pop."
An actual professional soldier - although as I've stated, Vikingers were primarily pirates, slavers, and merchants - would have a certain amount of fat over their muscles, because it turns out that it protects your organs. If you want an example, albeit an exceptional one, of what that kind of build looks like, take a look at Hafthor Bjornson (the actor who played the Mountain):
Big and strong, absolutely - but not "shredded." He's got a healthy layer of fat on his abs (which helps to prevent him from suffering a rupture when he's lifting something extremely heavy) and the rest of his torso and limbs.
Also, you wouldn't really see Vikingers' physique most of the time, because on the job they'd be wearing chainmail to prevent themselves from being stabbed, and on the job and off the job, they'd be wearing fairly thick woolen clothes because they lived in colder climates where shirtlessness is not conducive to good health.
there's a delicate balance between "seeing something on my dash so often i end up caring about it unexpectedly" and "seeing something on my dash so often that it gets added to the blocked list with extreme prejudice"
川上 貞奴 “Japanese Ophelia” Sadayakko a.k.a. Sada Yacco (1871-1946)
Born in Tokyo as Sada Koyama, Sadayakko was trained as a geisha and came to the attention of the prominent Japanese politician Itō Hirobumi, who took an interest in furthering her education.
Sadayakko performed in the company her husband founded, The Kawakami Theatre, when it was considered improper for women to perform on stage with men. In 1899, the troupe toured America and Europe, and became the first Japanese theater company to be seen in the west. Performances were held in San Francisco, and New York City in the United States, as well as at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris (with theatrical lighting there done by Loie Fuller) and several other European cities.
