Luke: she strangled Jabba the Hutt to death with a chain.

why would you hide this in the tags that’s hilarious

My favourite harmless prank I've heard of was done by this girl whose dad was a geologist, and they'd go on day hikes with his geologist friends/co-workers and when she got bored on them she'd habitually pick up a random rock and go ask him what it is, and one of them would explain what kind of a rock that is, how it probably got here, and usually some notions of the more unusual features the rock had, if any.

And she had a friend who had once gone on a tourist trip to Iceland and brought back a volcanic rock. So she borrowed the rock and took it with her on the hike, and after two randomly picked up "hey dad what rock is this", she presented the volcanic rock, in the same fashion as all the others.

3 minutes later there are five middle-aged and older men circled around this mysterious rock, all agreeing on what it is, but not why it is. They keep asking her questions, where did she find it? Were there any other rocks around there that looked like it? Was it like this on the ground? People walking past the group try to stretch their necks to see over the geologists' shoulders to see what's the source of such amazement.

And in the end she couldn't take it anymore, burst into laughter and confessed. The geologists agree that it was pretty clever.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Christians keep stealing shit from other esoteric traditions when St Barbara is right there.

Right, fuck this. In the spirit of ‘be the change you want to see’, I think we should celebrate Assad Zaman, because fuck knows AMC won’t, so someone has to step up to the plate.

Here’s a Ten Things I Love About Assad’s Performance As Armand list:

  1. The way his voice cracks ever so slightly on the word donated in the Louvre monologue. Also, the entire Louvre monologue.
  2. The hand acting. Thanks to @platoapproved for this gif set which illustrates what I mean.
  3. “Do you find me boring?” Like, obviously, all of 2x05, but that line reading, terrifying and obsessive and heartbreaking and childlike all at once.
  4. The stillness. The way he can be completely still and nevertheless absolutely mesmerising.
  5. Contrasted with gremlin mode in San Francisco when he is anything but still. This post from @hypermania is a great analysis of his physicality and acting choices in this scene.
  6. The micro expressions. The sixteen layers of emotions including three I’ve never even heard of before in some of the reaction shots. The way the directors clearly understand this and hold the camera on his face so that we can watch Assad showing us Armand’s brain at work without a word being said.
  7. His French accent.
  8. The way he sits down on the couch next to Madeleine.
  9. Just how fucking cool he looks on the motorbike in the hunting scene.
  10. Sauntering back into the Dubai apartment in his cunty sunglasses and tragically misplaced confidence.

Feel free to add your own thoughts in notes or reblogs. Let’s appreciate the hell out of him.

  1. The way he repeats "Is that what makes you fascinating?" in increasingly unhinged tones
  2. His tenderness in the Rest speech
  3. How naturally he delivers lines in French, especially in the scene with Madeleine (back and forth dialogue with Roxanne who is a native Francophone!)
  4. The way his eyes roll back in the lesmand theatre box scene
  5. The speech to Louis in the sewers, how genuinely sad he sounds when he insists that Claudia won't make it
  6. His facial expression when he says "Behind the FUCKING projector?!"
  7. "Dear, this is a Stein." The undertone of snark in this delivery is GOLDEN
  8. His whole face journey when Daniel reveals everything in 2x08
  9. How cute he looks holding the bouquet of flowers under Louis' window
  10. That scary ass expression when Louis gives him a peck on the lips and goes to bed

The biggest misconception in public schools is that literary analysis is about proving you can be right or wrong about a book you read

Literary analysis isn’t about the book

It’s not even about being right

It’s about performing an investigation and presenting your case to the jury

It doesn’t matter if your defendant killed that guy or not. If you can convince the jury he didn’t, you’ve won

And the incredible life skill of spinning bulletproof bullshit out your ass with a handful of facts and a prayer is soooooooo much more valuable than anyone’s ever gonna tell you

a) why is this tagged hamilton

b) what the fuck is going on

there’s no place on the internet like tumblr

being the second child is so lame when your older brother has no fortunes to inherit or power to come into. all of my scheming younger brother tendencies are being completely wasted like it’s not even worth putting all my efforts into usurping him and taking his place as heir. it’s not even worth it

like obviously I’m still going to do it because plotting and scheming are natural responses to being the second child but it’s just not the most lucrative career option anymore

Even without words, we communicate through our eyes.

  1. THEN PERISH
  2. Was anyone going to tell me, or….
  3. It’s free real estate
  4. I love you. (Here’s the latest news)
  5. Live slug reaction
  6. __ ? In my __? It’s more likely than you think.

And some highlights from the notes:

  1. Uh, yeah, I sure hope it does.
  2. THIS PERSON?!
  3. the WHAT
  4. Yeah, yeah, we’ve all seen it

Guy writing professor/student porn because it's their kink, but repeatedly emphasizing that the student went to uni late and is a freshman at 37, because age gaps are problematic

Guy whose kink is murky power differentials writing about an older student with a younger professor and adding increasingly complex factors as the plot progresses until the student was actually the professor's prior supervisor and also the professor is the student's father in law
