Medieval Things We Should Bring Back

- wearing robes with ridiculous sleeves

- wearing two fancy hats at once

- communal bread ovens

- just more land being communal in general

- making all of our books beautiful

- writing songs for the lute

- putting wild men into our architecture

- gothic buildings

Okay I know we always go on about Marvel’s uncanny casting ability. 

But if you thought they were the only ones, let me draw your attention to this man:

Viggo Mortensen, aka Aragorn son of Arathorn, aka Sexiest Ranger in Middle Earth

would hike, often for more than a day, to remote filming locations, in costume, for the sake of authenticity

was the best swordsman Bob Anderson (swordsmaster/instructor for LotR, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc) says he has ever trained

occasionally writes poetry (more book!canon than film!canon but um hello)

does all his own stunts

lived all over and speaks about 23940209384 languages

you know that scene at the end of Fellowship when he’s fighting the Uruk-hai? And one throws a dagger at him and he hits it away with his sword? Yeah, the guy who threw it was supposed to miss, but accidentally threw it directly at Viggo. Who just casually Aragorned and hit it away. 

They actually cast Aragorn to play Aragorn

~Nott my face in the mirror~

I’ve always loved Nott, but she’s really cemented herself recently as a character that I’ve really connected to in surprising ways. I certainly can’t claim to have felt this as strongly as others in the community who feel this, but I’ve struggled with (and somewhat overcome) some degree of body dysphoria over the years, and hearing Nott’s full story just…really spoke to me (and broke me). It reminded me of looking in the mirror and not seeing who I thought I was, and desperately wanting to fit the image I had of myself in my heart and mind. I hope that Nott can overcome her struggle too, and become the person she wants to be.

I wanted to try and capture that sadness and longing, hoping to see yourself in the mirror the way you imagine, and striving for it. The feeling of being trapped in one’s body, like being trapped in a mirror.

I just really have a lot of feeling about Critical Role.

So for my advanced editing class this semester we had to make a “montage edit” where we combine footage/media from 2-3 different sources to create a final product with a completely different intended meaning than the original.

So I made twilight Gay.

things I’ve said that my students have found funny:

You’re not allowed to die in this classroom

If you yeet any of the lab equipment across the room, you will be yeeted to the principal’s office

[on how old I am]: I lost count after a few thousand years

whenever they do an online lab: this is better than fortnite isn’t it

[to a student, upon realizing they completed their practice problems all wrong]: that’s a rip in the chat

If it wasn’t for strong force holding your atoms together your matter would disintegrate away like when Thanos snapped his fingers

In the event that the sun does blow up, the good thing is light takes seven minutes to travel from the sun so you wouldn’t see the explosion coming to incinerate you

[to two students who love to get under each other’s skin]: this is your lane (I traced a circle around their desk) and that is yours (as I traced a circle around their desk) stay in them

You’d probably turn into spaghetti if you went into a black hole but it wouldn’t the edible kind

[when checking in on groups] is everything gucci

[a student asks me if I could look something up on my computer when I’m taking attendance]: I don’t know what the internet is

dog: BARK

me (with the same tone and volume): WHAT

one of the hardest things to learn as a depressed former Gifted Kid™ is that half-assed is better than nothing. take the 50%, 40%, even 20% job. scrubbing your face is better than not taking a shower at all. picking up your clothes is better than never cleaning. nibbling on some bread is better than starving.

DO THINGS HALFWAY. NOW YOU’RE 100% BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE BEFORE.
