I mean yes, multiple times by multiple people, but they were all under the age of four XD

(I have also been bitten by nonwhite people under the age of four. Less frequently, but more of my family members are white, so)

Instead of doing NanoWriMo I will be doing something where I try to aim for writing an actual average of 400 words a day for the month of November in memory of Terry Pratchett, who as far as I know never thought telling a computer to write a book for you is a good way to hone your skills as a writer.

Microsoft Word - have dipped my toes into Google Docs, but I mostly use that for work, and I have this crippling fear of mixing my accounts up and my boss seeing my spicy fics.

plz reblog for science

stating to think there’s an inverse correlation between how good media is and how easily fandomizable it is 😁

This is absolutely amazing. I love all of this SO much

You know the Grimm version of Snow White makes more sense than most versions if only because in that version Snow White was like 7 years old.

wait, this isn't a shit-post, but an insightful, entirely accurate take???

Bilbo’s greatest quote

The Hobbit is, at its heart, about Bilbo Baggin’s transformation from someone who is purely a Baggins to someone who is both a Baggins and a Took. As he adventures with the dwarves he becomes more and more Took (largely eclipsing his Baggins side though that never wholly leaves him), until near the end of his story he reaches a peaceful equilibrium - he retires back to the Shire, but remains “Mad Baggins,” and is more eccentric and worldly than ever. Near the end of the book, there is a single sentence than captures this best. 

“If ever you are passing my way,” said Bilbo, “don’t wait to knock! Tea is at four; but any of you are welcome at any time!”

Bilbo’s adventure began with an unexpected party. And he is ending it, saying that he’s still going to be living in that same, comfortable Hobbit hole. He will still be drinking tea at four. He’s not off on any more quests. But now he’s welcoming to visitors, and travelers, and their stories. He is still a Baggins. But he is at peace with his Took side, as well.

I already pre-ordered this book, but the trailer makes me so hyped!

My publisher just out of the blue sent me an animated trailer for my book?? WHAAT??!!

I didn't care too much about the details of the ring, but it was important to me that it not be a new diamond (I was fine with lab/moissanite/colored stone/vintage etc.), but we didn't actually have a conversation about it. Little did I know that when my aunt had passed away a few years ago, my mother had inherited her ring and put it aside with me in mind. She and my now-fiance discussed it without me ever finding out.

I was completely blindsided by the proposal in the best possible way, and I love my ring so much. It suits me perfectly - the cut, the color, the size, everything! I wouldn't have even known to ask for everything that it is.

question about engagement rings for women in my computer because I wonder if there have been cultural shifts about this. It seems like in the past it was more common for women to want higher levels of surprise but nowadays more women want to "shop together"

*This is not including the proposal itself or the discussion of plans for your relationship, just the design of the ring. E.g., if you pick the first option that doesn't mean you haven't discussed marriage at all and it's a total shock, it just means you weren't involved in picking the style of ring

The Thief is a great read that I really enjoyed!

every book in the series that followed it made me deranged and I mean that in the most positive way possible

Petty, underhanded, and extra Gen is the best Gen. XD

This Helen design is perfection. I love that she and Gen have such an obvious family resemblance, too.

is it still an incorrect quotes if it's by the author? anyway this post has been living rent free in my head for three years and it's high time i exorcised it with a sketchy lil comic.

When I was a kid I had a poster of Mei fishing on a tree branch, sitting next to Totoro. When I sat down to draw yesterday that old poster beamed into my brain and all I wanted to draw was my version. Except I thought this time Totoro should be fishing.

Heroes & Villains The DC Animated Universe - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Inque

Not much is known of the origins of the shapeshifting mercenary and saboteur known as Inque.  How she came to possess her metahuman abilities remains unknown.  Her form is composed of a dark, ink-like substance that is entirely malleable.  This allowed her to alter her shape at will, forms her limbs into sharpened weapons, slip easily through cracks and slide across surfaces at great speeds.  Her one vulnerability appeared to be water, which caused her to become defuse and lose her ability to maintain structural integrity.  Although water was not lethal for Inque and she has been able to re-manifest her form once dried.

Inque was hired by Derrick Powers during a time in which Wayne/Powers was competing with Foxteca over a highly lucrative governmental contract.  Powers tasked Inque with sabotaging Foxteca facilities so to ensure his company landed the contract.  Bruce Wayne investigated the matter and assigned Batman (Terry McGinnis) to stand guard over the additional Foxteca plants in the case that the saboteur were to strike again.  This indeed occurred yet Batman was unprepared for an altercation with someone as formidable as Inque and she easily evaded capture in their initial altercation.   

Learning that Batman was once more meddling in his affairs, Derrick Powers tasked Inque with assassinating him and any accomplice he might be working with.  Sneaking into the Batmobile, Inque accompanied Batman back to the Batcave before attacking him.  Transforming into a torrent of ink, she nearly succeeded in suffocating Batman but was stopped by Bruce Wayne (who used an old Gray Ghost costume to hide his identity).  Bruce ultimately utilized Mr. Freeze’s freeze gun to incapacitate Inque whereupon she was delivered to the authorities.  Without the services of his saboteur, Powers lost out on the contract to Foxteca.  

Inque would return on subsequent occasions to battle Batman.  Some time thereafter, the mutagenic substance that bestowed Inque her abilities began to break down making it difficult to maintain a physical form.  She turned to her estranged daughter, Deanna Clay, for aid.  She had Deanna steal a mutagenic compound from Gotham Genetics that could stabilize her condition.  Deanna went through with this, but cut the compound with a solvent as part of a plan to kill her mother and pilfer her savings.  Inque discovered her daughter’s betrayal too late. Starting to dissolve, she attacked Deanna yet Batman arrived in time to save her. Together they watched Inque seemingly melt into nothingness. 

Actress Shannon Kenny provided the voice for the villain with Inque first appearing in the third episode of the first season of Batman Beyond, ‘Black Out.’
