Sir Terry Pratchett awakens. A skeleton stands at his bedside, wearing a long black robe. He sits up. “Well, hang on, let me get my hat,” he tells it.

The skeleton reaches into its robe. From abyssal depths it produces a heavy book bound in sheets of lead and night. It is the kind of book that gets stolen by a rugged adventurer from a temple with more spike-traps than the average house of worship contains. It is the kind of book to which the word “tome” might properly be applied. Frost forms on its pages from the lingering chill of the void. 

The skeleton coughs once and holds the book out to the man sitting on the bed.

WOULD YOU SIGN THIS? it asks. BIG FAN.

Oh this must be reblogged, 10 years later

when the lyrics you've been mishearing are more clever than what's actually in the song

No Gackt is not a Trump supporter

There is a old saying "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on it's shoes.". Well this is another case of that. Basically what happened was, Gackt made a badly worded post commenting on Trump. Some people misunderstood it as Gackt supporting Trump. So Gackt clarified that he does not support Trump. Here is a link to the original post with translation.

So no Gackt does not support Trump. Don't fall for click bait.

does hachibei maybe smell tamaki on kyoya. is that crazy of me to say

STAFF MAKE POLLS EDITABLE I LOOK LIKE A FOOL BECAUSE OF YOU NOW

I recently got reunited with my Japanese Ouran mangas and flipped to this:

And while my Japanese has gotten rusty, this made me laugh

Tamaki: …Sankyu (Thank you, katakana English)

Kyoya: You’re welcome.

The word for ‘you’re welcome’ in Japanese is what Kyoya used (Douitashimashite) however it is generally discouraged to use in response to ‘thank you’ as it can be perceived as rude. With that, I think Kyoya’s energy around his word choice was probably “you’re welcome you lovable idiot”

And in the English manga this little cultural context piece gets dropped, which is a bummer but maybe it’ll motivate me to get back into my Japanese practice?

phan proof compilations used to be like "here's Dan looking at Phil for a minute straight" "oh what's that? TWO glasses on the nightstand?! GAY" "Dan was WEARING PHIL'S TSHIRT" "they might be holding hands in this video??? Maybe??? If you squint???"

and now it's "here's Dan and Phil talking about their mortgage" "here's Dan calling Phil his husband" "here's 100 clips of Dan and Phil joking about having gay sex with each other" "here's Dan and Phil getting so flustered by how hot the other looks that they literally turn red" and some people think these are equivalent

When you hear a title like “Pines of Rome”, you may think of tree-lined streets and romantic ruins. But when the Disney animators heard this music, they thought of something completely different.

ShIzaya is the only couple where I won’t even question the odd sex positions.

Did Shizuo hold Izaya up with a single finger when he railed him into the night? Sure. This man throws a vending machine. Just to put things into perspective: Average vending machine weights between 700-1200 pounds (318-544 kilogram). In comparison, Izaya is 128 lbs (58 kg).

Not to mention Izaya's flexible enough, so was he bent over like a pretzel? Sure, I'll believe that. He has the muscle core to hold that position.

No point to this other than I don’t question anything I read because it's them.

IF YOU DON’T REBLOG THIS WTF
