*God Hesitates Before Sliding It Towards Himself* Well When You Put It That Way...

A treat for you! Happy Halloween.

It shrank and got frozen on it's way here I think but thanks‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼

So sometimes I see bros on the internet talk about how women couldn’t have worn armor historically, because it was too heavy for them.

Here is a picture of me wearing armor when I was a nerdy 14-year-old girl who was about 5 feet tall and weighed less than 95 pounds. I sometimes wore it for 6 hours straight in summer heat, and I would run and turn summersaults in it for fun.

And before you start asking: this was authentic full steel plate with a padded arming doublet underneath. It weighed so much that I couldn’t carry the plastic tub it was stored in on my own. It was heavy. But once I was wearing it I just felt like I was being hugged or wrapped up in a really heavy blanket. That’s how armor works. The whole point is that the weight is distributed across your whole body, and your whole body can lift a huge amount. It has nothing to do with how strong you are or how much you can bench.

So if you think women are too weak to wear armor, you are wrong on so many levels. It does not even matter if you believe in your little misogynistic heart that all women are defined by their physical inferiority when compared to men, because you are also just wrong about how armor works. Even skinny teen girls can wear armor just fine. Everyone can wear armor.

Help cheer me up?

I was not allowed to audition for district band today because I forgot to do a form and I've been crying off and on for the last hour while I have been waiting for my mom to come pick me up, so if any of you care about me in the slightest, please just send a little something. Music means a lot to me and I'm absolutely devastated right now. Heart broken. Please send a little kindness my way.

I have never heard of Norman Rockwell. I don’t understand anything about art. But this picture shook me and caused a storm of emotions. It is called Breaking Home Ties, 1954

The boy is going to a Uni and wearing his best outfit; the Uni sticker is on his luggage, even his tie and his socks are the colours of the sticker. He is excited and impatient. The father - obviously a farmer, is sitting at the worn farm truck with a flag and a storm lamp, because their place is so small the train won’t normally stop there, so the father will need to “catch” the train and signal with the light and the flag for it to stop.

His son will never come back to the farm.  

I think I understand why this picture sold at 15,4 million dollars in 2006. 

I’ve been really into Welcome to Night Vale lately and this is a product of that. Not my best, but I was trying a new style out.

Thanks.

sometimes i marvel at the fact that people actually tell me they’re intimidated by me or scared of me when i am??? the embodiment of this gif???? thats literally all i am

why afraid

The Experimental Plastic House //  Saint Petersburg 1962

Almost all the “filling” was made of plastic: windows - from plexiglass, pipes - from vinyl plastic, wallpaper - from PVC film.
