blame eurovision for making me have a new crush (5 in fact), so i’m combining two things i love by making posters of joker out in the style of taylor swift’s eras tour posters (all pictures are from pinterest, tumblr. or on their about us site <3 | made in canva)

[bismithdean]

joker out are like måneskin with less leather and more twink

[bismithdean]

“it’s for the plot” is a very valid reason btw

big masterpost of fun things to do this summer

hi :) i like to make a big list of things i want to do each summer, and i thought i’d share all the resources i collected this year with y'all in case you want to do any of these things too <3

learn a new language. 🦜

i’ve collected a bunch of resources for french, korean, and mandarin so i’ll be making separate posts for those languages. but here’s some of my favourite resources - most of them are based off of krashen’s comprehensible input theory which is why they are fun resources:

korean: anki grammar decks for all levels, super in depth grammar explanations up to advanced level, a bunch of resources, reddit’s ultimate beginner’s thread, read korean webtoon, talk to me in korean

mandarin: a bunch of anki decks, grammar gamified, reading practice, chinese reading world, mandarin bean grammar points

japanese: core 2000 words anki deck, grammar gamified on renshuu

spanish: language transfer for spanish!

[bismithdean]

GUYS

Can I have your opinion please I'm trying to prove a point to my friend

NOW can you please tell me which one of them looks more than Enjolras to you and why the second one

[bismithdean]

and if I say Joseph Quinn has the same effect on men as Andrew Garfield then what
