don’t get me wrong, I love beauty and the beast, I could happily read/watch/etc. nothing else but beauty and the beast adaptations for the rest of my media-consuming days

but.

if beauty found herself in a tough situation and went “well, I guess I would bang a monster born of magic and bad decisions, that’s something I did not know about myself!!!” janet went ahead and put on sensible boots and marched into the enchanted castle pulling every rose she sees up by the roots and going “WHERE’S A GIRL SUPPOSED TO FUCK A BEAST AROUND HERE”

…also, when Tam Lin tries to tell her she’s trespassed on his magic castle, her response is That’s Not How Property Rights Work You Mystical Maidenhead-Taking Squatter, which I think we can all agree is amazing.

(for extra lols, you can imagine Tam Lin as Coming Out Of The Well To Bang and/or Steal From Womankind)

Anyway, my actual favorite part of the entire story is that presumably Janet just wanted to get rid of her pesky virginity in the most epic way possible and had no intention of sticking around past the initial banging-of-an-elf, because she goes home directly afterwards. This is the part I always like to imagine Tam Lin Languishing For Love Of Janet (The Best I Ever Had), and like. Sighing a lot, and looking forlornly into his well, and being a generally useless Romantic poet about everything.

He probably writes sad poetry about it. The rhymes are terrible.

Anyway, the only reason anyone brings it up again is because a few months later, Janet’s hugely pregnant and her dad finally, tentatively asks, “so uh….this baby. who….?”

 “NONE OF YOUR STUPID KNIGHTS THAT’S WHO,” Janet says, because Janet has no chill at all, no chill at all has she, and so she hies to Carterhaugh—

Anyway, she shows up on Halloween, because Janet has an appropriate sense of gothic timing, and Tam Lin is ecstatic to see her. He mentions super casually that actually he might die that night, presumably because he thinks this will convince her to bang one last one out. 

(“About to be sacrificed to Hell by the faeries” is a pretty good fuck-or-die scenario, incidentally.)

Except Janet’s response is “UM EXCUSE ME WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS ELDRITCH MAGIC BABY IF YOU ARE DEAD, ASSHOLE,” and because Janet has no chill, no chill at all, she demands to know how she’s going to break the stupid curse and get him back from the faeries.

At which point Tam Lin finally comes through with the iconic line, “hold me fast and fear me not” which everyone should quote over-liberally. Plus, you get the mental image of a very pregnant Janet holding onto Tam Lin as he turns into a wild wolf and a lion bold and a snake—

Afterwards, the Fairy Queen appears and admits defeat and lets them go back to Janet’s father, who presumably was cowed into accepting this weird ex-changeling knight as his son-in-law.

Which just goes to show what any woman can accomplish if she has a sensible pair of boots, a proper sense of gothic timing, and goes around fucking whoever or whatever shows up when she weeds the garden.

jane austen was so lit because she wrote about men the way men typically write about women i.e. her stories just centered around women and men were only there for the sake of women, and her books could have been all bitter and sad about the state of women in that century, but instead they’re sweet honest observational stories of friendship, family and love *sighs* what a lady i am sorry i ever doubted you cos I was bored in high school

no seriously her books do not pass the REVERSE bechdel test and it’s perfect

Jane Austen never wrote a single scene without a woman present.

First of all, that sounds very much like cottagecore to me! I’d love to see your photos!

I guess what constitutes cottagecore is up to each one of us in the community to decide, and your version is as good and correct as mine or anyone else’s! I hope you end up posting your photos, they sound really lovely! 🌻

We got into a debate in class the other day about Harry and Ginny as an endgame ship (long story, art school is weird) and my teacher made a super good point saying something like

“He didn’t just marry Ginny; he married into the Weasley family. They’ve been his real family for so long that it’s a natural conclusion to his arc.”

Which, like, FUCK, but also conjures the frankly breathtaking mental image of Harry proposing the idea one night at dinner and the ensuing fistfight over which one of the Weasley kids gets to marry him.

Harry: haha so I was thinking about how weird marriage is earlier?? Like, if I married one of you I’d legally be part of the Weasley family by law???? How strange is that???

George, already conjuring a ring: Well all you had to do was ask, Harry

Percy, fighting in the only way he knows how: I can get us the best tax benefits

Charlie, also fighting in the only way he knows how but completely certain he’s going to win: 

Ron: nO ONE IS MARRYING MY BEST MATE

Ginny, already rolling up her sleeves: I’ll fight you for him Ronald

Today the Department of Awesomely Good Deeds salutes the team of volunteers at the the Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation and Care Center in Mathura in North India. To help their elephants cope with cold winter weather they’ve been knitting gigantic sweaters for their rescued elephants. It takes about 4 weeks to make one elephant-sized sweater.

“It is important to keep our elephants protected from the bitter cold during this extreme winter, as they are weak and vulnerable having suffered so much abuse making them susceptible to ailments such as pneumonia,” cofounder Kartick Satyanarayan said in a release. “The cold also aggravates their arthritis which is a common issue that our rescued elephants have to deal with.”

Visit the Wildlife SOS India website or follow them on Facebook or Instagram to learn more about their awesome ongoing efforts to help elephants, Asiatic bears, and other orphaned, injured, and exploited animals.

Please note that Crowley is wiggling just as hard, just at a different tempo. A fascinating case study of divergent evolution in mating dances.

Crowley would totally wiggle at the same tempo if only he had the first idea of how a human skeleton operates.

Actual orthodox jews in hospitals: 
*will do pretty much anything to save a life*
let me check with my rabbi who will check with serious medical professionals 
*values life above all*
*values medical advice and opinions*
*believes in scientific advances and medicine*

orthodox jews in hospital tv shows:
uh…..i think god would want me to die rather then take your medicine bc it once touched a pig and that’s the extent of my religion why don’t you get a random rabbi to come bless me 

I hope it’s ok to add to this post bc I want to explain further, we have a principle called pikuach nefesh that basically means preserving life overrides almost any other commandment. It’s the same reason ill and pregnant people don’t fast on Yom Kippur. I don’t know much about specific halachic debates vis-a-vis various medical treatments but there is NO concept of enduring unnecessary suffering because it’s “what God wants”, i think that’s an exclusively christian way of thinking.

a tip I use is if their past 4 posts don’t matter to you or make you feel good about yourself then hit that unfollow button

radicalmuscle-deactivated-2019:

I CANNOT stress how important this is for your mental health, confidence level, and self esteem.

serotoninsuggestion:

right pals i cannot stress this enough: unfollow celebs. unfollow influencers. follow artists. follow painters. follow people who plant flowers in pavement cracks. follow bopo activists with similar body types to yours. follow your favourite restaurants and cafes to check out what they’ve added to their menus. follow comedians. follow accounts that post positive memes. follow cute dogs and cats and hedgehogs. follow tattoo artists. follow shops that make ethical clothes. follow people who paint murals on the walls of buildings. follow environmental and lgbt+ and blm charities. follow authors. follow poets. follow second hand book shops. follow bakers. follow film reviewers. follow tags for countries and cities you’d like to travel to and your favourite books.

then like the hell out of all those posts so that’s what your explore feed starts showing you.

instagram can be so much more than we’ve let it become. it’s a platform for photos and there are far more things out there to see than “perfect” (photoshopped) bodies

grumblebeeblog-deactivated20190:

instagram be like: get a nose job, hoe out, do some squats, lose weight, buy skinny tea, buy fenty beauty, buy a kylie lip kit, get your summer body, get engaged, get pregnant, lose the baby weight, dedicate yourself to sex and beauty and men and makeup and your man, shave your eyebrows off then draw them back on-

i love how when poe gets captured on jakku and brought to kylo ren, you can literally see him deciding whether or not to be a little shit. 

there’s that long awkward silence where they’re just kneeling there staring at each other. 

and you can see a little hint of the internal debate in poe’s eyes. 

“i should say something spunky. but he might kill me. but i’ve got the perfect one-liner in my head, i can’t waste it. but he’s a crazy person. but it’ll be SO WORTH IT FUCK IT I’M DOING IT YOLO”

have you ever tried to write a diary it’s freakin hard and all the movies lied ok

Master’s degree in writing here.

This is why you might be having issues:

1) You’re self censoring. You spend more time worrying about what a hypothetical reader will think of you. Makes you stop being honest.

2) You don’t do it often enough. Carry that thing with you, write in it EVERY DAY. Write down odd thoughts, nightmares, shopping lists, weird tangents. That’s what it’s there for.

3) You’re trying to be profound and meaningful. This is raw, unedited shit… stop pretending that everything that comes out of your pen is going to be pure gold because it ain’t.

4) you’re worried about someone reading it in your lifetime. Create a cipher only you can read. Its easy as all hell to do, and you don’t have to panic about leaving your darkest secrets on a bus.

5) you’re trying to emulate fictional diaries… like, seriously… real life isn’t gonna hold up to something that’s been edited to within an inch of it’s life.

Also, another thing you might want to consider if you can’t keep one. Maybe you have adhd and you feel guilty about not being able to write an entry every day.

That’s okay, consistency is hard for us, practice might get you far… but our “far” might be two weeks of journaling before taking a mysterious break of a month. If that happens, don’t feel guilty. I believe in you and what you can achieve right now.

By all means, if you can handle it try what this super thoughtful person is suggesting up here (I will try my best myself!). But if you can’t, that’s also okay.

Little me writes! And in chapters, even! (let’s see how well it’ll work out)

Leia/Hux (yes, I know, I know, I am predictable) stranded on the empty, but conveniently pretty nice and well-equipped station together (I didn’t want to give them more problems than “being in each other’s presence”. it’s enough). Unfortunately, the only equipment the station lacks is bathbubbles communication device, so they’re going to heroically resist trying to kill each other for a very long time…

Mostly psychodrama, slow development of relationship, worldbuilding, speeches, arguing and in-universe political discussions. Of course. Because me is me.

[personal profile] galadhir was kind enough to beta the first chapters for me <3 and told me to post so, so I did. 

Aha, and who I should ping, because they might be interested in it - well, these, like, 4 people who ship them, too? So [profile] afonhafren [profile] nibi_nix  [profile] otemporaetmores [personal profile] gamebird [profile] sunangelflowers[personal profile] callmelyss who was very supportive of me and gave me a lot of feedback about this piece! It’s 6, then! [profile] andromedamirtle because she wrote for L/H for me, too, so I assume she’s interested, at least a little. [personal profile] tobermoriansass and [profile] permian_tropos because they like niche ships and themes in general?  aaaand I think that’s it. :D

Star Wars | Imperial!Rebel AU!

FINALLY! I’ve been wanting to draw this au ever since reading THIS FIC ages ago and also because disheveled and scruffy imperials are super fun (and sexy) to draw. Redesigned a bunch of the uniforms to suit a more Imperial aesthetic (and the white cog/eye patch for Tarkin is inspired from THIS FIC).

I can imagine them being a very dysfunctional family who has each other’s backs no matter what. I had two mentalities while doing these; you either want to climb them like a tree or protect them at all cost (OR BOTH EHE). I mean look at Tarkin, I made him into the silver fox dad npc (who is done with everything and just wants to sleep) that you can’t date. Why? BECAUSE I CAN.

Also, more stuff is finely hand-crafted and not optimized for maximum profit via production costs

I’m pretty sure this is optimized for maximum profit via being handcrafted and therefore only available to people with a vast amount of disposable income, though. aka this thing looks expensive.
