So I Have This Idea For A Fix-it, Right?

I know we’ve all been talking about Assad and his micro expressions, but his transition here from incredulity and offense, into the smallest moment of pain and vulnerability, almost instantly replaced by blank passivity… they even timed the rising of the chair with the tiniest fall of his smile.

For a moment, just a moment, it looks like he might cry and then an avalanche of trauma and insecurity buries it all in a flash. Assad is just out here EMBODYING Armand and it’s both awe inspiring and heart wrenching. I cannot praise his performance enough.

Actually your society is the freaks for shooting everything that moves and burning half your "nature reserves" every year so that upperclass dandies can eat leaded pheasant. North Americans are the well adjusted ones here, your country has become a desolate suburban lawn in island form

[Image ID: 4 photos from Black Sails overlain with text. The first shows Flint grasping Miranda's face as she cries. The second shows a close-up of Flint's angry face as he hugs Miranda after Thomas's capture. The third shows Miranda, Thomas, and Flint gazing at each other in their house in London. The fourth shows Flint looking at Miranda's corpse as he lies on the floor of Peter Ashe's house. Text on the images reads, "You and I are one tear, one flesh and blood, one painful memory of the world, shared, like a grave." end ID]

Happy birthday to me! Today I turn the same age Obi-Wan had when he had to take care of the most bonkers kid of the galaxy (aka 25)

I swear I started this as just a drawing of Obi-Wan looking for his cloak and then...oh welp!

Holy shit. The Israeli whistleblower story CNN just broke is insane. I cannot believe what I’m reading

Elrond when Legolas rocks up to Valinor late and with a dwarf:

Elrond: NOBODY TOLD ME WE COULD TAKE OUR DWARVES????

Ask a historian, “What was mankind’s greatest invention?” Fire? The wheel? The sword? I would argue it’s history itself. History isn’t fact. It’s narrative, one carefully curated and shaped. Under the pen strokes of the right scribe, a villain becomes a hero, a lie becomes the truth.

NHS whenever JGY is looking vs when he isnt

Things the MDZS fandom desperately needs, if they do not already exist:

A reference page of Chinese words and terms used frequently in canon and how to correctly spell them.  (I.e. all the various common forms of address/titles, different ways to say brother, words like jinshi, etc. )

A giant flowchart of the differences between the plot in the various versions of the story, so I can figure out exactly which version of canon I’m borrowing from in my fic and/or if I’m accidentally borrowing from someone else’s fic.

A list of all the book chapters and brief spoilery summary of what happens in each one.  So if I want to go look something up to reference it, I have at least a place to start in looking for it.  With all the flashbacks, any scene could be freaking anywhere.  (Except for Chapter 100.  I know what happens in Chapter 100.)

I know you’re probably super busy but I HAVE to share this with someone. I found this absolutely insane shirt at my job (thrift store) and it’s been killing me to imagine Silco in it

You can't drop something like this to my askbox and not expect me to draw something
