forever impressed by people who when they're hyperfixating on a media or character come up with complex headcanons and analysis and make up scenarios with them. all my brain does is this for days on end

There are numerous scam accounts using the following text from this gfm:

My family is still staying in half of the church that wasn’t affected by the bombing because there is nowhere else to stay other than tents. They are limited to one small meal a day and one shower a week. They are sleeping on the floors, but no one can sleep since there is bombing everywhere around them. Even when there is no bombing, they can still hear the loud buzzing sound of the military planes above them, which would keep anyone who hears it awake. Along with everything, My grandma has diabetes and osteoporosis, so she can’t walk. She has to take her insulin medication along with many others; however, she has run out of many of her medications.

Please be aware there are no official tumblr blogs associated with this fundraiser currently by the one who made it, so if you got this as an ask it’s from a scam account using a PayPal that isn’t affiliated to this person or related to them.

Listen! I will speak of the sweetest dream, what came to me in the middle of the night, when speech-bearers slept in their rest.  It seemed that I saw a most wondrous tree raised on high, wound round with light, the brightest of beams.

-The Dream of the Rood (tr. Roy M. Liuzza)

Read this old poem for the first time a couple weeks ago and found it really neat. I love the rhythm in the Old English poems, and the interesting familiar Christian imagery (though with a smidge of the Woden in it as well?) It’s been a while since i did these kinds of black and white illustrations, so it was neat to do so again. The poem describes the crucifix as being gilded, but the tree-emphasis and animistic aspect of the poem of it made me what to emphasize the “living” feeling.
