uh oh

[reasonsforhope]

Literally begging anyone who can vote in US elections to vote, and to vote against Trump. Which means voting for Harris, not abstaining or voting third party.

My family actually did move here from an authoritarian country, where voting literally didn't matter, they literally did throw out your vote, and they literally did assassinate citizens who spoke out against them.

We would all very much like to keep living in a country where those things are not the case!

You know, the same things that Trump and his stooges have openly said they want to do. And two of the main propaganda lines for why people in the US shouldn't vote, which is a lie.

Voting matters. The parties are not the same.

And make sure to vote in down-ballot races!!!

And like. The fact that voting matters in the US is a very real reason for hope. It is something you should genuinely appreciate. We can make a difference.

And a lot of people risked their lives or even died to earn that right, and it's a right not everyone has.

You have to respect Sam's tendency to specifically troll Laura. Braius sees Fearne and Ashton have something going on? Apologizes for overstepping. Braius sees Imogen and Laudna have something going on? "Oh, we DEFINITELY had soooo much chemistry in our kiss. You were sososososo into it, Imogen."

I love tbosas movie so much (as much as it desperately needs that extra hour) but one thing I will NEVER forgive is them cutting my Favorite Sejanus line;

Coryo: "Do I look okay?"

Sejanus: "Gorgeous. Trust me, that lip is working for you, soldier."

And remember kids, the next time someone tells you, "George R. R. Martin wouldn't make Jon Snow the typical fantasy hero because that's cliche".....

Oh yes he would!

One viewer wants to know what character would you play (on the show)? GRRM: If I could magically clap my hands and become a different person, it would be cool to play Jon Snow who's much more of the classic hero. Everybody wants to be the classic hero! ABC Interview, 2014

GRRM: And the character I’d want to be? Well who wouldn’t want to be Jon Snow — the brooding, Byronic, romantic hero whom all the girls love. Meduza Interview, 2017

In fact he already has ☺️

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

People in the fandom will really call Poseidon a deadbeat dad but completely forget/ignore that Sally said she didn't want him to take care of her son.

"As for the government of the kingdom, [Edward V] had complete confidence in the peers of realm and the queen."

"According to the Crowland continuator, [Elizabeth Woodville] seems to have taken the king's place in listening to his council immediately after Edward IV's death. It does appear that she expected to have some role in her son's kingship, and the Crowland continuator’s report of the letters sent to her by [Richard of Gloucester] indicates that she had good reason to expect to be able to work with him and the other councillors: 'the duke of Gloucester wrote the most pleasant letters to console the queen; he promised to come and offer submission, fealty and all that was due from him to his lord and king, Edward V, the first-born son of his brother the dead king and the queen'."

"[However], in what was Gloucester's first coup, Edward V was separated from his household and Woodville advisors. When the young king questioned the move, Buckingham was reported to have told the boy 'It is not in the business of women but men to govern kingdoms'. The blunt remark referred to the authority of Elizabeth Woodville as queen and the power she must have anticipated within the new political climate left by Edward IV's sudden death [...] While the veracity of this scene is questionable*, the words attributed to the duke no doubt seemed plausible to Dominic Mancini who believed they exemplified the popular sentiment held by men [...]."

-Dominic Mancini, The Usurpation of Richard the Third / J.L. Laynesmith, The Last Medieval Queens: English Queenship 1445-1503 / Alexander R. Brondarbit, Power Brokers and the Yorkist State, 1461-1485

*One of Mancini's key sources seems to have been Edward V's own doctor, John Argentine, who attended to him in the Tower. It's very likely that he was the one who recounted this scene to Mancini, which suggests that it should probably be considered more credible than not.

Do they have shooting stars in Middle Earth?

So middle earth is so geocentric that there arguably isn’t a solar system, right? The sun, moon, and Venus all not only orbit the earth but are straight up people with glowy shit rather than being celestial bodies. And we know that this is real and not a myth because the Elves have met all three of them, named characters in the silm went hunting with the moon, the star of Venus is literally Elrond’s dad, etc.

And the stars, similarly, aren’t celestial bodies, but pinpricks of light hung in the dome of the sky. We know that there is (probably) a barrier of sorts in the sky because that's where Eärendil patrols when he guards the gates that Morgoth was thrown through.

So are shooting stars a thing in M.E.? Seeing as how we have no evidence that space exists beyond M.E.'s sky; we know the void does, but not space. Is there anywhere for comets to come from? Since this universe was thought up by Eru and created by the Ainur, would shooting stars be part of that great plan?
