Just some of B. Dylan Hollis’ funniest moments, because we could all use a bit of a laugh.

It’s easy to forget JRR Tolkien was a fairly prolific academic translator with an interest in early medieval literature and philology. It’s so inspiring that he found time to write The Hobbit while fighting for his life over Beowulf.

Can someone explain this to me? Where did it come from and who said it cause it sounds like a fandom I wanna get onboard with ..
I know the significance of Monks and 1436 cause I studied medieval history - but I’m gathering this is a quote from someone and I’d like to know who. Please and thank you.
any monk born after 1436 doesn't know how to truly devote themselves to christ... all they know is be late for matins, copy they manuscripts, contemplative herb garden walk, be bisexual, eat eels and lie

there is a judge in Seattle who does the weekly name change hearings, and who says it's her favorite part of the week. she says she doesn't read out previous names, or ask about the reasons why people want to change them. she says it's a beautiful moment, and a celebration; a claiming of a new identity, or a reclamation of an old identity. she encourages the room to clap for folks. then she welcomes everyone up, one by one, by last name and with warmth; she shows them the court order where nobody else can see, asks them to double check the spelling, and then they're done! do they want a picture? do they want their friends and loved ones who came with them to be in it too? do they want the court order in the photo? she helps everyone pose, shakes hands and stands with them for as long as they need to take it, recruits the clerk for help taking photos of the folks who came alone. then she tells them where to go next, congratulates them, and claps along with the rest of the room.
probably three quarters of the people there were trans, and she centered their experience quietly, with love and joy.
I think I'll be thinking about her a lot this January, and for a long time after. it's good to know she's there.

Does anyone know who decided on the long hair and why? Cause as an aesthetic choice it was perfection but …
If this was real I would struggle with why they wouldn’t just hack his hair off with a knife every so often. They don’t let him tie it back and I don’t care how good he is, he could compromise his shots because of some fucking wind.
I think one factor might be that Steve wouldn’t associate long hair with Bucky. Cause I often think that even with the muzzle and goggles there would have been some things about the soldier that made Steve think of Bucky.
When Steve sees the soldier catch his shield and can see the colour of his eyes I’m certain he thinks “Bucky?” Even if just for a split second.
I find thinking about this sort of thing so fascinating. I wish I would go back in time and be a fly on the wall for meetings where they discussed what the soldier would look like.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER (2014) dir. Anthony Russo, Joe Russo.
#bucky barnes#Bucky with the great hair#Bucky’s hair was an important character in CATWS#catws#the winter soldier#giving the winter soldier flowing locks was stupid but also perfect#catwsedit#stucky fans are the best#stucky#his face and eyes are so distinctive#I’m certain Steve knows deep down in his souls even before the mask came off#that mask came off so easily#it was probably planned#in which case the long hair thing doesn’t make sense as a distraction#i’m gonna stop now#step away from the tags

I don't think I've ever shared this story before but I desperately need to
So my family- Me, two of my parents, and my swarm of brothers- were out for a day in the city, right? And we came across this juggling busker dressed as Darth Vader
And all my brothers LOVE star wars, so of course we stop
And Vader says something during his performance, right? And one of my brothers- maybe about seven years old at the time- asks what's wrong with his voice. Because he doesn't have the classic Vader voice.
And the buskers says- in what I assume was his best impression- "My voice modulator has been compromised"
And my brother- who is, again, about seven years old- stone-faced and without even a HINT of amusement- tells him, "You have failed me for the last time" and raises his hand to force-choke the guy
Dude fucking CHOKES and falls to the ground. No hesitation. Drops everything. Full-on Shakespeare performance. Apologizes to my brother like he's fucking Palpatine
And my brother doesn't laugh. Just nods solemnly to this grown ass man while we all lose it, and then "lets him go".
And then we leave, the moment cemented into the family lore forever
Anyhoe God bless you juggling Darth Vader, may the force be with you

Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.
