Some of T.E. Lawrence's habits described by Clare Sydeny Smith in Golden Reign:

"His quick, rather jerky way of moving made you think he was walking on his toes. He carried his head little forward."

"[...] his voice was soft and attractive, with at times the merest suspicion of the soft lilt characteristic of the Irish. He often indulged in a flat chuckle of amusement; it was never, as people have described it, anything like a gigle. He didn't laugh very often, but when he did it was very heartily, thrusting his chin outward and with the corners of his mouth curling up."

"He had curious trick of grasping his right wrist with his left hand and holding it against against his right shoulder under his chin."

"Another of his mannerism was propping his right elbow on his left hand and resting his chin on the upturned palm. If he was perplexed, interested or excited, he would run his fingers through his tousled hair. He lovedsitting with his hands clasped behind his head, rocking his chair to and fro."

"Tes had frequent and expressive habit of saying slowly, ruminatingly: "Yes, yes; oh, yes," and he liked to use word "creature"- "nice creature"-"good creature"- and so forth. He never used a word too much."

"[...] he never smoked or drank and said he couldn't imagine why people did either. He hated the smell of smoke and the effect of alcohol on other people"

"He did not care much for food, but certain simple things like oranges and coffee with cream he enjoyed. His chief hedonistic trait- perhaps his only one- was a love of warmth. Like a cat he was happier and more forthcomig when the sun shone, and he revelled in a very hot bath."

It's no mystery why he's considered to be the most beautiful dragon to ever fly the Westerosi skies. Only 7 weeks left to wait for season 2 and we'll finally get to see this majestic boy in action!

This one's for the gays... (queers, bis, pans, trans, etc)

Gonna run this poll for a week... this IS for actual reasons, so please vote... Going on the honor system that queer folks only will vote, but I know there's no way to know for sure, so please be nice.

fwee top 5 things i had fun with this year :-)

[romanceyourdemons]

a while ago i heard someone say “it’s crazy to think that china used to be a world superpower, and then one of their emperors decided he hated all foreigners and completely closed the country off, and they’ve never recovered since. imagine what they could have been if not for that one man’s decision” and the thing that drives me nuts is i know a lot of chinese history and i cannot for the life of me think who this might be about

Why do you think g5 was made into a sequel for g4? It seems very redundant, especially when the mane 6 are never really referenced.

to cash in on the fandom, and nostalgia, of course. which is hilarious because it is objectively a terrible 'sequel' and would stand better on its own merits than with a continuation. It does not honor what came before and makes the protagonists journeys seem worthless due to Equestria being more segregated than it was before its fucking founding. Twilight sparkle was a failed ruler and her legacy was a house of cards. if nothing else, this does show that Celestia was fine, actually, at least the kingdom didn't fall into ruin with her around.

But i've talked about all this before with other asks, and it is def all pretty fucked. if they didn't know how to make a sequel, they should have stuck to what mlp always did and rebooted and remixed.

Just a quick doodle of Theseus in the fire :D

Chapter 40 was so good I don't think I ever felt any of the emotions I did when reading this chapter. I'm holding on my golden duo and the Happy ending tag with my dear life.
