Pansexual | She/her | Ravenclaw | 16. This blog had a point at the beginning, but now it's just a general mash up of everything I find interesting.

So imagine you’re a gay top, right, and you’re out on a date with your partner, just having a fun time, and you’re about to head home, when you spot this kid passed out on the streets, your partner wants to help him, but you’re obviously a little worried that you could face severe repercussions if you help this random kid, then you realize that he could be a potential ally, so the two of you drag him out of the streets and into a safe space, and when he wakes up, he confesses that he’s homeless, so you and your partner go through the process of adopting him, you two take him home, you two give him a good meal, you two start to teach him some philosophies in life, he slowly grows up, you two help him through his bad dreams, you two help him through his bad memories, you two play games with him, he completely roasts you at an eating contest, he’s extremely active, you’re always on the move, you’re walking everywhere, like literally walking all the time, like so much walking, and you’re there for him and then all of a sudden, his childhood friend shows up on your doorstep and is like, “Your adopted son is really the king.” and then he falls in love with a woman in like 2.55 minutes which is definitely not something you two taught him how to do, so you’re confused, and the weather gets really weird, and you’re even more confused and in the end, all you really want to know is WHO’S THE MONKEY and by the time you’re dressing in drag and doing the hula, you’ve realized that maybe it’s better if you just don’t worry about it…

i love the aggressively unnecessary decision op made in announcing the fact that timon is a top in this post

Special thanks to the comment above for adding the name and making me realize that this is, in fact, about the Lion King, and not some medieval gay knights AU

Heard you kids like the Saunter™  Crowley ironically invented the ridiculous model walk and now he can’t stop. This was so much fun to make!!! Have a wahoo and enjoy some well-timed hip swingin

In response to Crowley’s walk in the show (I couldn’t decide whether my caption’s going to be “Poor baby still hasn’t figured out how legs work after 6000 years” or “An Angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards” so putting them both out here. Pick your favorite)

Neil Gaiman: Crowley didn’t really fall from heaven, more sauntered vaguely downwards
David Tennant: did he ever stop
Neil: what
David: *already planning The Walk* does the book ever explicitly say that he stops sauntering
Neil, who has no idea what he’s planning but is down for it: not once did we say that.

Thinking of getting into the wedding industry where I offer my services to brides with overbearing families and my job will be to remind everyone else it is NOT their wedding. I can do passive aggressive, private aside with a vaguely threatening air, or just telling them to shut the fuck up in front of everyone.

The plan is you tell them I'm your fiance's estranged step sister so they'll even sympathize with you for being stuck with me instead of hate you when I tell them no one wants to hear about why they rudely disagree with your veil choice.

Say Yes to the Dress but I'm there with a foghorn I use every time someone thinks we need their rudeass opinion

happy Thursday the 20th

HAPPY THURSDAY THE 20TH EVERYONE

I can just see Jake giving Holt a “gag” card with a popup heart for father’s day… Holt doesn’t appear to change expression except for the slightest smile but it cuts to him showing the card to Kevin over dinner and he says, “You should have seen me, Kevin. I was a blubbering mess over a simple card, it was quite unbecoming of me. I intend to put it up on the mantel.”

I don’t care if that never happens. It’s canon for me.

June 7th, 1942: Edward Hopper completes his best known painting, the seminal Nighthawks. When asked by a Chicago Tribute reporter about the philosophical meaning behind the diner having no clearly visible exits Hopper responded, “Shit. Fuck. I did it again. Goddamnit. Fuck. Not again. I did it again. Shit.” and slammed his hat on his leg.

how does this only have 150 notes

I fucking laughed so hard at this all artists are hilarious

I have had this scheduled since december

oh its that day again

To be fair, his goal was apparently to send a stern warning about the evils of entitlement by murdering them in ironic ways.

Also, the rich, spoiled, first world white kids aren’t presented in the story as having gotten the tickets by chance, the story is very clear that they and their families used their privilege and power to game the system - taking what was initially presented as a random selection and cheating by leveraging their disproportionate resources - wasting mountains of chocolate in pursuit of gold…

read this guys, read.

Just appreciate him. If for no other reason then because he appreciated Hermione.

Victor Krum was ready to fight Xenophilus Lovegood of all people in the goddamn street because he was wearing the wizard Nazi symbol from ww2. Like no holds barred throw down.

Protect my foreign son and his goodness. Let Victor punch Nazis 2k17

Also in the wedding he told Harry that “that symbol” [the one xenophilus was wearing] would be graffitied here and there in durmstrang by students who “agreed with grindelwald” (neo nazis, in a sense). But victor and his friends kicked their asses to show that kind of thing would not be allowed.

Boy straight up had his own gang of nazi-punching bros, heck yeah

WE STAN

you know what trope i just go maximum apeshit for every goddamn time?

when a character has to improvise a weapon under urgent circumstances.

  • im talking characters in handcuffs using them to garrote enemies
  • characters swinging objects that are WILDLY un-aerodynamic (a table, a a garden gate.)
  • or throwing objects that are wildly un-damaging (an inflatable chair, a bunch of flowers)
  • throwing something soft and light over someones head as a brief distraction
  • using the ENVIRONMENT against their adversary (pulling a rug from under them, slamming a door in their face)
  • using weapons that are broken or not working properly, or using them the ‘incorrect’ way (using an empty gun as a bludgeon, Elizabeth Swann pulling that sword off the wall but it still being attached to the wall display)
  • swordfights using anything BUT swords
  • people macgyvering wildly ‘low-tech’ improvised contraptions to defeat massively high-tech and well organised attacks
  • loading a blunderbuss or shotgun with something commonplace and either not-at-all dangerous or surprisingly lethal (sand, cutlery, buttons)
  • i love this trope so much

Pro tip: If you copy and paste a link that said “no free articles” into a private/incognito browser, it will let you read the whole thing.

also if u press the “esc” (escape) key on ur laptop before the page fully loads, it won’t load any pop-ups blocking u from reading. if the article has images, then this method sometimes does not u see them. but! the words will be fine :)

Art Black Out April 15th

The idea is that on April 15th - World Art Day - artists only post black images to draw awareness to something people take as given: a steady stream of visual content on their dashes. 

We are drawing attention to the ongoing issue of artists being disrespected and their art being stolen or reposted. Let’s make people aware of what the Internet would look like if artists stopped making art because they get discouraged or too scared to post for fear of having their work stolen. 

For one day, let’s flood dashes everywhere with gaping black spaces where art is supposed to be. 

HOW TO JOIN:

On April 15th post completely black images everywhere, on whichever platform it pleases you, and tag them with #artblackout.

Inform yourself on the issue of art theft, reposting and giving credit and spread the word! 

That’s it, well done, and thanks for helping artists to stay motivated to create the awesome content they are giving the world every day.

An additional suggestion: reblog them with “I want this on a shirt/mug/etc” so all the art theft bots start selling merch with the stolen ‘art’

For your convenience.

LET’S DO THIS THING!!

All art is art, whether you use colors or words or notes or pixels to create it. All art deserves to be appreciated.

If you’re a content creator yourself, art, fic, meta, photography, noodle installations, butter sculptures, whatever, amateur or professional, 

if you’d like to support your friends who are, or 

if you’d just like to support the project in general: 

EVERYBODY IS WELCOME TO JOIN AND SUPPORT!

Art theft is a big issue at the best of times, but in the current situation giving credit where it’s due is even more important. 

On any platform, post a black image on April 15th and tag it with #artblackout.

If you wish to watermark your art on April 15th, feel free to use this!
