Notice the Red/Blue light on Hux’s face in this panel.
Hux is the “Destroyer of Worlds”, he’s fire and devastation (Red color) but he’s also ruthless, his heart is cold as ice (Blue color).
Btw Hux was called the “Destroyer of Worlds” in TLJ visual dictionary.

I had a much more intense Vitiligo as an idea in mind with her.
And this is as much you’ll get from me on norse mythology front, at least until I’m done with a million and 2 stories about Greek Mythology XD

I think the goose game is so successful because it captures a fundamental human desire to be absolutely but harmlessly bastardous

flower language has always been an intense source of disappointment for me
like, they all mean really generic things like “love” or “forever” or “i’m sorry”
i thought you could combine flowers
like you could just send someone a bouquet and from the combination of hibiscus and posies and tulips they’d understand “the rebel leader is dead, rendezvous at the docks at 8, bring the dog, you will need lighter fluid and a large tomato”
I really hope no one’s answered this for you yet, I saw this and got so excited that my obscure knowledge base might come into use. I had to stretch a few flowers so to speak but Victorian flower language allows for alteration in meaning depending on colour, fruit, flower, bud, steam, leaves and thorns, so I didn’t feel I was too far out of line. This message would work best as two bouquets bound together. First red Nasturtium with no leaves (red denotes a leader, the nasturtium a patriot) mixed with white or red Mask Flowers (rebellion, red if you want to emphasize fighting, white martyrdom) around Cypress (death). Then Chick weed (rendezvous) and Blue Convolvulus (night) surrounded by eight White Popular Leaves (symbolises the time: eight), Yellow Iris (flame, and a flower that grows by rivers) and Yellow Prarie Dock Flowers (this was closest I could find to docks)and one large Tomato Leaf, all bound in Dogwood Bark. Dogwood represents deceit, but as far as I could find the bark wasn’t used symbolically, and as you referred to the dog instead of a dog, I thought it was likely the pun should be a dead giveaway.
So there’s your rebel message!
This is amazing.
#thank you flower arranging side of tumblr

Was Arthur Weasley Really so Clueless About Muggles?
I highly doubt it.
He worked for the Mis-use of Muggle Artifacts Office at the Ministry. I’m aware that they prioritized enthusiasm and a tolerant attitude above all. However, it is likely that he had 5 years of Muggle Studies under his belt before working there, with at least an Exceeds Expectations grade at OWL Level.
Upon meeting Harry Potter he asks him “what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?” It’s a ridiculious question, considering that wizards probably had inflatable bath toys too. So why ask it?
Mr. Weasley has just arrived in from work and laid eyes on Harry, a troubled boy and his son’s best friend. Upon greeting the boy, he realizes notes that all the attention is making him uncomfortable. He deduces he is staying with them because his home situation has deteriorated.
He takes all of this in his stride and asks a question he knows will make the Boy Who Lived laugh. Afterwards, he asks him countless questions about electricity etc. Of course, he has a real desire to learn how airplanes stay up. After all, aerodynamics are complicated.
Arthur is a man who has raised seven children. He is no doubt employed the tactic that many parents use with young kids; asking rhetorical questions and/or playing dumb so that they can gain confidence and enjoy sharing their knowledge.
More advanced tactics are seen throughout the later books. In Goblet of Fire, Arthur pretends to be struggling to light the fire and pitch the tent. Hermione stays with him to help. This is good, because it allows Arthur to keep up a running commentary on Ministry officials that pass by.
In Order of the Phoenix, Arthur Weasley pretends to be struggling to use the underground and make change with Muggle currency. By asking Harry for assistance with these small tasks, he is providing a much-needed distraction in the run up to the hearing.
He does all this without drawing attention to himself. His first priority is to help the children in his care feel more comfortable.
Arthur Weasley is an amazing man, who does not get the recognition he deserves.

Apparently I badly want to go on my “stop making fun of plague doctors, they were ahead of their time and doing the best they could with the primitive equipment they had available” rant.
They weren’t stupid.
They shoved herbs in their breathing hose because they knew the air was bad and hoped it would help, and *they were right* in theory. The plague itself was not an airborn virus, but they couldn’t know that and it wasn’t the only thing killing people at the time anyway, and they covered *all* their bases. If they’d had the technological knowhow to make air tanks, or even better air filters, they would’ve. They just made the best air filters they could.
What we think they wore isn’t exactly what they wore, and what they actually wore would later be repurposed into scuba suits (and thus spacesuits too) and *actual hazmat suits*, because the theory was sound, the materials were just lacking, and honestly what they did with the materials they had was hardcore.
they wore full face protection which avoids the most obvious mucosal transmission routes
INCLUDING GLASS IN THE EYEHOLES. They invented safety goggles before most of the world had nailed down corrective eye glasses yet
they wore additional head protection to cover seams in their mask/hoods
they oiled and waxed all their clothes to make it fluid-resistant
they wore separate but tight fitting equally if not more fluid-resistant gloves and/or armcuffs so they could keep hand contamination to a minimum even when dressing/undressing AND they only wore the suit in areas they thought was contaminated and took it off before entering uncontaminated areas
they may have used herbed vinegar to clean, and if the stories are true this was clever because 1) it’s available and portable 2) pretty effective as far as medieval disinfectants go versus the damage it does the the user (as opposed to what they had for bleach at the time, and the actual percentage level in alcohols at the time which was mostly insufficient for task as well as being needed for more important things); vinegar is *still* a decent disinfectant even now
It honestly took doctors well into the twentieth century to get that level of obsessive attention to hygiene and cross-contamination back. A whole lot of babies and mothers wouldn’t’ve died, for instance, if a plague doctor instead of an obstetrician supported the birth because A PLAGUE DOCTOR WOULD KNOW TO WASH THEIR GODDAMNED HANDS.
Actual plague doctor’s outfits:
Who was responsible for turning plague doctors into laughingstocks instead of primative but honoured medical and scientific predecessors anyway?
Was it the Victorians? It was probably the Victorians. Those pretentious sanctimonious jerks ruined everything.
#i did not realize people made fun of plague doctors #ive mostly seen people freaked out by the aesthetic #they always seemed to me like a bittersweet example of humanity scared shitless #and still trying really really hard #i’d get very poetic about it #sometimes its a stare out the window and empathize with plague doctors kind of day and that’s just how it is #that’s just how growing up is #i feel like thanks victorians is a strong contender for thanks obama’s throne (tags viacicadianrhythm)

living on a student budget is hard, so here are some really simple ways to save money and help the environment:
stop buying plastic water bottles. it costs 2000x more to drink bottled water than tap water and if you refill from public water fountains you pay nothing at all! chemicals can seep from the plastic into your water and most tap water is better tested and regulated than bottled water. buy a steel water bottle and save $1400 per year
take your own coffee cup to cafes. many cafes offer a discount if you bring your own cup, i use a glass keep cup. pret a manger has just introduced a 50p discount if you bring your own cup so you would save £182.5 per year if you bought a coffee everyday
use reusable feminine hygiene products. the average woman in the UK spends over £400 on her period per year. a menstrual cup that costs around £20 can be reused for around 10 years, saving you £3980
take a reusable bag shopping. now it costs 5p for a plastic bag in the UK bring your own and avoid the charge. it may not sound like much but the pennies add up and if you will probably save £10 a year by ditching the plastic and bringing your own bag
stop using single-use cotton pads. if you use 4 pads a day (and it’s 100 for £2 in boots) you’ll save £30 a year by investing in a pack of resusable pads
stop buying food in packaging. where you can, buy loose vegetables and fill glass jars with dry product from bulk bins. you’d be surprised how much supermarkets charge you for packaging!
Great tips on reducing your waste while also saving money!

Hide and seek 2019.
After playing hide and seek with cows for three years (one, two, three) I’ve come to accept that they will never outgrow the level of three year old children. I have to pretend I don’t see them and call out ‘Where oh where could she be?’. Then they half leave their hideout and shout ‘I am here!’, and I still have to act like I really can’t find them. The following bursts of laughter never get old.

Fun Fact, thats, more or less, something that wealthy people in China and Japan did, they were called “musical floorboards.” Designed to squeak when stood upon. A person could make noise all the way down a corridor.
The residents and servants knew which floorboards made a sound and avoided them. But a burglar, or assassin didn’t. If you heard the creaking of floorboards, you knew danger was coming.
Even better, despite what movies may show, a lot of the old west was founded by Chinese immigrants, so there could have been carpenters around who knew how to make the musical floorboards!

one thing that kills me about the handing over of the holy water scene (besides That Line, obviously) is that we know why aziraphale thinks crowley wants it. he tells us that when its brought up the first time. he thinks it’s a suicide pill, and as far as we know, he might have been right
{”you told me what you thought 105 years ago” “and i haven’t changed my mind”. not about giving him the holy water, obviously, as he does that. just the motivations. “don’t go unscrewing the cap”)
and then when he hands it over and says, no, dont thank me for this, please, i dont want that on my hands, crowley asks if he can drop him somewhere
not whether he wants to go somewhere, together, but whether he can bring aziraphale somewhere and drop him there, alone, and crowley will then go be somewhere else, in an unspecified place doing an unspecified thing (now in possession of said suicide pill)
and aziraphale says no. no, you may not drop me off somewhere, alone, while you are then going to go be somewhere else, alone
what does he say?
maybe we can do something together, instead
he leaves it open. “perhaps one day” he says. he doesn’t phrase it as a question because he doesnt want it to be one. he’s making a statement
no, you can’t drop me off and leave me wondering if that was the goodbye
because we’re going to have a future together
don’t leave too fast for me, crowley

this was evidently not written by a woman into women. I mean, is there a single queer lady who wouldn’t swoon at seeing an eight feet tall roman goddess?
jenroses:
It was interesting and regal and the least male gaze-y gorgeous dress I think I’ve ever seen on the red carpet. (There have been other non-dresses that could compete, but this is in a class of its own.)
They just aren’t the audience.
jakattax:
I’m sorry I know my blog never ever ever posts anything about this but HOW FUCKING DARE YOU DAILY MAIL
Shitting on Gwendoline Christie and other male and female celebrities for being the ‘worst dressed’ ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND
She’s serving opulent Roman empress vibes whose feet never touch the base and filthy floor who bathes in the rarest of perfumes and collects the severed penises of men who displease her. She’s serving a badass and beautiful look and how fucking dare you come for her in anyway.
Fuck off.
This is fashion, this is couture, this is a look that oozes with style and elegance.
Fuck right off.

whiteorangeflower, your tags are not wrong :D

anyone who says “the bible is clear” about an issue, is 100% of the time wrong. the bible wasnt clear once. the bible couldnt be clear about how to make a table if it came in an ikea box
Exodus 25:23-30
well ill be darned
the only thing the bible is clear on is how to make furniture but only because jesus was a carpenter

Here’s an extract of her talk:
“I have a vagina. Just thought you should know. Just thought you should know. I look like a woman. I’m dressed like one, I guess. The thing is, I also have balls….I’m not male or female. I’m intersex.
“Most people assume that you’re biologically either a man or a woman, but it’s actually a lot more complex than that. There are so many ways somebody could be intersex.
In my case, it means I was born with XY chromosomes, which you probably know as male chromosomes. And I was born with a vagina and balls inside my body. I don’t respond to testosterone, so during puberty, I grew breasts… I don’t actually have a uterus – I was born without one, so I don’t menstruate, I can’t have biological children…
“We put people in boxes based on their genitalia. Before a baby’s even born, we ask whether it’s a boy or a girl, as if it actually matters; as if you’re going to be less excited about having a baby if it doesn’t have the genitals you wanted; as if what’s between somebody’s legs tells you anything about that person.
Are they kind, generous, funny? Smart? Who do they want to be when they grow up? Genitals don’t actually tell you anything. Yet, we define ourselves by them. In this society, we love putting people into boxes and labeling each other…
“But there’s one really big problem: biological sex is not black or white. It’s on a spectrum. Besides your genitalia, you also have your chromosomes, your gonads, like ovaries or testicles. You have your internal sex organs, your hormone production, your hormone response and your secondary sex characteristics, like breast development, body hair, etc.
Those seven areas of biological sex all have so much variation, yet we only get two options: male or female. Which is kind of absurd to me, because I can’t think of a single other human trait that there’s only two options for: skin color, hair, height, eyes…”
Listen to whole talk here. Believe me, it is worth your time!
Saying sex isn’t binary because some people are born intersex is like saying humans have tails or extra fingers because some people are born like that…
The definition of a binary is that only two options exist. Therefore, the existence of intersex people means sex cannot be a binary by definition. It can have a bimodal distribution- and indeed, it does- but it cannot be truly binary.
Humans can indeed have tails and extra fingers, in the same way that humans can be intersex. If you said ‘humans always only have five fingers on each hand’, you’d be wrong. If you said ‘humans can only be 100% ‘male’ or 100% ‘female’’- i.e. that sex is binary- you’d be equally wrong.
I’d like to also take this opportunity to remind people that there are more people with intersex conditions in the world than there are natural redheads or people with natural ambidexterity, and yet we always talk about how intersex people are statistically unimportant, a fluke, a mutation, because they’re such a small percentage while redheads are included in surveys and accepted as a possibility in almost all aspects, and ambidexterity is recognized as an existing middle state in what could very easily be reduced to a (mistaken) binary as well. Hmmmmm.
This has become one of my most popular blog posts ever, with more than 47,000 likes and reblogs. The main reason is likely because Emily Quinn gives this kind of diversity an unavoidable human face.
I would like to add one more thing: What those who are committed to the strict binary forget is that the variation found in intersex people continue into the world of non-intersex people.
Take genitals: Some intersex people have what people call “ambiguous” genitals. But the genitals of non-intersex people also vary a lot in shape and sizes.
Some scientists argue that there are as many as nine different types of vulvas. The average penis size is between 13cm and 18cm (5in to 7in). But a large number of men have penises that are not of average size, from less than 4cm to more than 26cm long. Some have identified as many as seven different penis types.
You cannot draw a clear line between the normal and the abnormal, when it comes to human genitalia.
Averages are precisely that: averages. Nature is ruled by diversity, not averages.
