“I saw Star Wars for the first time when I was about 6 years old. I remember Princess Leia. I remember thinking “Gosh, you don’t see women like that in films. This feels new and I like her.” She’s sassy! But she’s strong-minded and she’s willful and she’s witty. She doesn’t give up. She’s determined.“ – Gwendoline Christie

25 Of the Most Magnificent Libraries Around the World - Right from the Pages of a Fairytale

There is an essence of timelessness when it comes to libraries and books. Even with the modern marvels of human technology, e-books, audio books, libraries have still preserved the atmosphere of exercising and feeding the human mind with rich text and pages of storytelling. These great feats of architecture we have featured below are the integration of great design and the age old love of ancient yellow pages that have the history of the world etched in them.

The priceless treasure trove of great minds, dreamers and scholars are documented in these buildings which have been designed and built with great care in order to make them stand forever as a monument over these articles of importance like no other.

The libraries below have become an enduring tribute to impeccable design; the best décor and space construction, and art are ingrained into the floors and ceilings and wood panelling. Some of these studies have been built to attract not only readers eager to ponder over pages of food for thought, but to keep the spirit of young minds eager to see the enchanting presence of a library no digital book can recreate.

When that unique smell of worn out books, dust mingled with sunny afternoons wafts through the stone cracks of these majestic structures, people once again are transported back to the classic charm of an intimate moment spent with a satisfying story in the solitude of a hall crammed with books to the ceiling.

tumblr: we want more complex villains!

kylo ren: has been manipulated from a young age and essentially brainwashed, is extremely conflicted over the choices he makes, feels isolated and alone, is unable to control his emotions, pounds on his own wounds to intensify his pain and drive him further toward the dark side, doubts the actions of the first order, and is tempted by the light instead of the dark, SOMETHING WE HAVE NEVER SEEN IN A STAR WARS MOVIE BEFORE

The Force Awakens- High School AU

Finn plays for the vicious Stormtroopers (and hates it). Poe is the leather jacket rebel who loves his car (and his dog) more than life. 

Ben is the troublemaker who constantly throws parties just to trash his parents house. Rey is the old soul who sometimes feels like she’s surrounded by idiots.
