In fairy culture its actually considered extremely rude to inject them with formaldehyde and pin them to a corkboard

There is a reason why Obi-Wan and Ahsoka can never meet after Order 66 and the reason is because if they ever did Anakin would be just so incredibly dead.

Like. Obi-Wan is capable of beating Anakin 1v1 but isn’t willing to kill him. Ahsoka is not capable of beating Anakin 1v1 but is fully willing to kill him. If they’d ever gotten to take him together then after they defeated him it would play out like it did in Kenobi with Obi-Wan being all “:( no I can’t kill him that’s not my job if I do it I’ll be betraying who I am in a way i can’t come back from—”

And then Ahsoka would just walk up and stab Anakin from behind and be like “What? He was gonna blow up the ship!”

“Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light: The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true.”

— Alfred Lord Tennyson.

AITA for ignoring a dumb tourist?

You see, my family and I are doing this removal job for a local landowner (he’s…not exactly popular but you know whatever puts food on the table.) Anyway, some foreign tourist keeps yelling at us from a high window, he can’t even be bothered to come down into the courtyard. We worked out last time that he wanted some letters delivered, mostly due to him literally throwing them at out heads with some money. Rude.

The addresses were in English, so we took them to the only person around here who speaks English (the boss) to be sure they got to the right place. He laughed when he saw the addresses and then told us that the tourist just doesn’t trust any postal system but the UK one and insists on using alternative means. We didn’t understand; then he told us the tourist had some weird idea that we’d take the letters all the way to the coast and have them sent on a ship. Instead of. You know. Posting them normally. He told us to just leave the guy to him in future, and we were glad to agree.

Now whenever we’re trying to remove furniture we’ve got the weird tourist staring sadly at us from the window like a kitten trying to guilt you into feeding it. Should I just humor him and pretend to post his letters? He’s making me sad.

tw rant incoming —

there are in all honesty other reasons why I wouldn't be into danmei as a rule, but from the excerpts I've read I'm just baffled how anyone can stand the writing? it is frankly of the kind non-fandom people say "reads like fanfic", except a lot of fanfiction is much better than that.

and I get the translation might be bad, but surely not every single one of them is? (and I've gotten better results in my life by using google translate on Ao3). like, I'm begging someone to tell me what I am missing here. all I can see is jumping povs and sentences like "thy rainment is awesome", and yet people often actually go out of their way to call the writing beautiful. MDZS has one of the highest ratings that occur on Goodreads. I could not stand reading a single page.

Hey everyone! 

I know it’s been a minute, but with the recent news that Automattic has laid off a portion of its workforce (including a sizable percent of tumblr's staff), it's a good time to have a quick chat about the future.

Now, as far as we know, tumblr isn't going anywhere just yet. No need to panic! However, I do recommend that you take into consideration a few things.

1: Backup your tumblr! Here's tumblr's official guide to doing so. It's always a good idea to have backups of your data and now is a great time to do so.

*I’ll also be including a handful of other links walking you guys through other backup methods at the end of this post. As I understand it, each of them have different pros and cons, and it might be a good idea to have more than one type of backup depending on what you want to save/how you’d like the backup to look/etc.

2: Have some place your mutuals/friends can find you! A carrd or linktree is a great way to list off anywhere you might find yourself on the internet. 

3: Once again, don't panic! We don’t know that anything is happening to tumblr anytime soon—it just doesn’t hurt to have a backup. Better to have a plan now instead of being blindsided later.

*The other backup methods I’ve been able to find:

—First off, someone put together a document with several backup methods & pros and cons for each. (I believe it originated from a tumblr post, but with search being the way it is I haven’t been able to track it down.) This goes over a lot, but I’m adding a few more links to this post in case they might be helpful too. 

—This post and this video were a good guide to the older “bbolli tumblr-utils backup for beginners” method mentioned in the doc (I used them during the ban in 2018 to make sure I had my main blog saved).

—I’ve also found a handful of python & python 3 tumblr backup tutorial videos out there, in case those would be helpful for you. (I haven’t personally tried these methods out yet, but the videos seem to go over the updated version of tumblr-utils.

“it was not so much that grief weighed gold and shone, only not for me it was not so much that I’d grown old though the past was all I’d see it was not so much that a flaming star was neither a hope nor dream it was not so much that I fell apart as it was that I’d come clean it was not so much that I lost you, dear as it was that you didn’t stay it was not so much that death seemed near but that life was far away”

No pressure tagging... @eri-pl, okay I see liuisi has already done this, @margindoodles2407, @hiddenvioletsgrow and @seeking-elsewhither.

@liuisi tagged me in this fun challenge to make myself in a picrew ten years ago and now. i got a bit carried away; i did it in two picrews, and was having so much fun that i wanted to try it with c!elle, my dsmp sona, too. :>

so firstly, here's fifteen-year-old me vs Me Now. i think past me would be thrilled to know we figured out our fashion and feel a lot more comfortable in our skin (and that we're less depressed sldkjdsg <3). :]

and then c!elle!! my dear lil character :DD i picked the very start of her time in new l'manberg as her Past Self and then her Current Self as her post-canon-ending: after the nuke, having moved around with bluebell & thalia, finally having settled somewhere new with them & making a new life there. she's got more scars but more hope too. :]

tagging anyone! please please join me in this one & tag me if you want !!

here are the picrews i used !! toon me & makowka ii
