not even JRR Tolkien, who famously developed the concept of the Secondary World and firmly believed that no trace of the Real World should be evoked in the fictional world, was able to remove potatoes from his literature. this is a man who developed whole languages and mythologies for his literary world, who justified its existence in English as a translation* simply because he was so miffed he couldn't get away with making the story fully alien to the real world. and not even he, in extremis, was so cruel as to deny his characters the heavenly potato. could not even conceive a universe devoid of the potato. such is its impact. everyone please take a moment to say thank you to South Americans for developing and cultivating one of earth's finest vegetables. the potato IS all that. literally world-changing food. bless.
Stop drawing dionysus skinny challenge
Bitch is the god of feasts, he's got chub, he's got meat. Aphrodite is the god of romance and love but dionysus is the god of sex and orgies, he is ideal cuddling density, dude HAS a tummy.
Roy writing his first letter home: “Dear Aunt, I am in love. I’ve met master’s young daughter and only this week she held me at gunpoint, outsmarted me in chess and wiped the floor with my ass when i tried to help her with dinner. I’m gonna marry her”
My favorite hc for young Riza and Roy is that Riza is this feral country girl that hunts all her food, doesn’t have a ton of friends, and is very wary of her fathers new apprentice. Roy, on the other hand, is this dumb lil city boy who has been brought up with the number one rule in his household being Respect Women, and does not know how to approach this 12 year old with a gun who really doesn’t like him.
i love the fact that all of the mythology series Riordan has written take place in the same universe. like, the Norse gods have just been chillin for thousands of years and then all of a sudden the world almost ends once a year for 6-7 years straight cause of the Greeks/Romans and the Egyptians are pretty much just like wtf guys, but the Norse haven’t really been paying attention (cause, hello 9 worlds to look after) and just sort of show up one day like
love you guys
I have a really complex relationship with religion, but here’s something positive
every single week when the episode of Andor ends my reaction is always: that’s IT. I WANT MORE. literally a surprise every single time when those credits start
“Jayce will understand.”
And he did and he did and he did and he did.
Я уже мабуть це казав, але я скажу ще раз
- Не вибачайся, якщо не знаєш англійської
- Так, англійська - найпоширеніша мова в Інтернеті, але ти не мусиш знати її ідеально
- Твоя рідна мова прекрасна
- Не англомовні люди прикладають великих зусиль аби писати англійською на цьому сайті кожен день
- Підтримуй не англомовних людей і не засмучуй їх, якщо вони не знають англійської
- Насправді, підтримуй усі мови
- Поширюй мовне різноманіття на Tumblr’і
Дякую
probably i just said it but i want to say it again:
- don’t apologise if you don’t know english.
- yes, english is the most common language on the internet but you are not forced to know it perfectly.
- your own language is beautiful.
- non-english people make a huge effort to write in English everyday on this website.
- support non-english people and don’t make them feel bad if they do not know English.
- actually support all the languages.
- spread more language diversity on Tumblr.
thank you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to whatever child was just born at the same time the 100,000th destiel fic was posted on ao3. you may have been conceived on november 5th 2020 and that’s horrible to think about
riza hawkeye is the smartest fucking character in fma because she looked at herself, a shy sheltered daughter of landed gentry, and she looked at roy, an arsehole with a heart of gold desperately in need of a tragic backstory, and she saw the genre they were in, shōnen anime, and then CLAWED her way out of fridged wife-hood thru sheer grit and long-distance murder and we salute
