my troubled perfect princess who deserves 400 years in jail <3

Adar had to die because if he, Gil-Galad and Elendil were all in Middle Earth at the same time there would have simply been too much Dad Energy ™️ for the populace to handle. They would have defeated Sauron through sheer “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed” force alone.

Beach episode with the bad Sanses

Why does "take my idiot henchmen to a secluded beach to blow off some steam" 100% sound like something Nightmare would do? He'll bring you along too. The boys can't relax when their beloved favourite human isn't there. You're like a therapy kitten a bunch of giant terrifying fighting hounds refuse to go anywhere without.

Horror doesn't like deep water, too many bad memories of a certain fish monster, so he's staying away from the sea. But he does like the sound it makes... the waves are wonderful, they're something other than his own thoughts to concentrate on. He'll sit on the sand, with a hat over his face, listening to the ocean and enjoying the sun soaking into his old bones. Might even fall asleep. For the love of God, keep Killer away from him, his 'prank' attempts on the sleeping giant will not end well for anyone. Don't let him catch you when he's looking tired - he'll drag you up against him and snore into your hair until the sun goes down.

It's weird to see Dust without his hood. You half expected him to even wear it to the beach, but it makes sense he wouldn't. There's enough dust on that thing already, he probably doesn't want to get sand on it as well. He'll spend most of his time resting in the shade (why is he wearing sunglasses when he doesn't have eyes?), but if you ask him to, he'll venture into the sun. You're the only one who can convince him to do anything fun. Out of all of them, he's the one who'll go get you something to eat. He'll randomly disappear, then quietly return with ice cream, or crepes, or smoothies. Just three, though - one for him, one for you, and one for Horror because it'd just be rude to not get him food. He won't tell Killer where he got it.

Killer is having a great time. He will be ogling your beach outfit, it doesn't matter what it is, he'll stare and flirt as often as he possibly can. He wants to play volleyball or football, have you bury him in the sand, take stupid posed pictures, stay until sunset and start a barbecue, he's having an amazing time. This is his dream. If you can keep him company, please do, because it'll keep him on good behaviour - if you leave him alone for five minutes he's going to start annoying the other skeletons. By the end of the day someone is dunking him in the ocean, at least once. Probably Dust.

Nightmare will sit on a chair, under the darkest umbrella you've ever seen, without a speck of sunlight reaching him. He won't engage with the other skeletons at all and it seems like they know to give him his space. He'll be delighted to chat to you, if you come up to him, but other than that he just... vibes there, alone. Makes you wonder why he even came to the beach, since he clearly will do whatever it takes to avoid light.

He bought you along because the other skeletons want you around, sure. But he also bought you because he could tell you needed the stress relief. He likes just sitting back and listening to you enjoying yourself, watching the happy feelings roll off you - they're nice to see, even if he can't eat them.

Not that he'll ever say it aloud, but he planned this day out almost entirely for you.

I love how this came out, makes me all soft

[master-of-stupidity]

Anyone else think about that ep where Snotlout went missing during a rlly bad thunderstorm (for like a *long* time) w/ only Hiccup getting nervous/worried with the others not rlly givin aff

n like the *moment* he said "I'm going out there to look" the others instantly got concerned for HIM and joined for HIM (ikk Fishlegs got a lil concerned but being honest it was the BARE MINIMUM at that point)

Like does Snotlout know about that?? Do any of em talk about it?? Cuz that's lwkyy insane I fear, the OBVIOUS double standard was insane I wonder if Hiccup scolded em for that lwkyy

Hello!

No bug picture but a thank you. I always felt slightly panicky when I saw insects. Then I came across your tumblr and started seeing how interesting and beautiful (in their own ways) they are. I did a lot of gardening today and saw wasps and wood lice and all kind of different weevils and ants. And it was so nice to share the sunny morning with them. So thank you for what you do I certainly changed my perspective. And I feel now so much more comfortable being outside.

That's great news! Gardening definitely puts you in close contact with a lot of tiny pals :)

my darling my beloved, after 50+ hours and one discontinued yarn crisis she is finally complete 💙

[historicity-was-already-taken]

From now on, doing history calmly and accurately is my resistance. Let Trump voters cry over the “fascist” label; can’t change what it means. Let oligarchs argue that the invasion of Ukraine in 2014 was nothing like the Sudetenland grab. It doesn’t make them right. Let people scream that Trump’s plans for his second term have nothing in common with McCarthyism/that McCarthyism was both good and Constitutional. That doesn’t make them right.

Let people gleefully forget that “Nazism” means “National Socialism,” or, a form of socialism which only applies to those the ruling party determines count as Germans, and perform German-ness correctly. Socialism for true Germans, death for the rest.

Calmly take refuge in your knowledge of the facts, and don’t stop until the war on fact grows so loud, that you’re rounded up with the rest of the intelligentsia and tossed out of an airplane over the sea.*

And even then. Even when you’re gone and there’s no body, the regime will fall, as regimes always do. And the facts will remain the same.

*pinochet did this, and MAGA bros have been photographed in tshirts celebrating this, and encouraging its application to “socialists.” The most violent thing I have to say about them, is that it would be poetic if they perished in a workplace accident which could have been prevented with proper OSHA compliance.
