DON’T HURT YOURSELF (2016)

Continuing my series about the recent wildfires that turned our sky red. I noticed in my past posts a lot of people think this is caused by stupid gender reveal parties. Gender reveal caused 1 fire, but the other 650 fires were caused by an unprecedented dry thunderstorm.

I’ve lived in CA for over 20 years and I’ve never seen thunderstorms in August during drought season. Unlike other parts of the world, the normal climate in CA doesn’t get storms until winter. This storm is the remains of Tropical Storm Fausto which caused over 11,000 lightning strikes resulting in over 2 million acres burned, turning our sky red like the apocalypse.  

This is what climate change looks like. Not some stupid gender reveal caused by the mistakes of a few, but the collective consequences of us all failing to protect the only home we have. The least we can do is accept reality instead of living in denial. No matter how bad it is now, it will get even worse if we continue to do nothing. 

Vote and let our governments know that our future and our children’s future is worth protecting.

I have read that the Australian bush is recovering and that gives me hope. Even if it takes a long time, even if it does not bring back the billions of animals. Even if wild fires are still taking place all over the world.

[ part 1 ] [ part 2 ]

Everyone I know has been lying to me for years, and I can’t even trust my own memories.

Tell Me Why’s Alyson Ronan costest I never posted here for some reason other than that cosplay stuff mostly ends up on my instagram first. 

Met an old teacher today and we got talking about ‘the good old times’ and ten minutes into the conversation I jokingly said the one regret I have from middle school is that I never won anything at her magnificent tombolas? Because, like, she used to hold this game about once a month so we’d learn the numbers in French and it was never big prizes, but as a 12-yo I desperately craved them - a cactus-shaped eraser, a bright blue notebook with slightly larger-than-usual squares, a set of coloured pens - and never ever got a single one of them. 

(Actually spent a good few months thinking I was genetically unlucky and researching ancient family curses with my grandma.) 

So today I don’t know what I was hoping for - nothing, really?

(I mean, that part of me that’s still twelve was probably expecting this sweet old woman to have a set of glitter stickers in her purse and just go ‘You know what, you’re right - I’ve been saving this one for you all these years, here you go’ but I’m a solidly rational person and I know that’s stupid.)

No, I thought we’d just laugh and it would be a good shared memory and that would be it. Instead, my teacher got flustered and a bit embarrassed and explained the game was rigged. It was never about learning French at all. She’d just noticed some kids couldn’t afford even basic stationery, so she’d buy a few half-fancy items every month with her own money just for them. She didn’t want them to feel different or left out. And obviously the way she used to walk around in the classroom, looking over our shoulders - it wasn’t to prevent cheating. It was because she was cheating herself, wanting to see which number a particular child needed to get a Minnie Mouse pencil case.

Guys - the world is fucked up, but so many people out there are just good and kind and humbly heroic it honestly gives me hope. 

It’ll be alright, you’ll see.

LADY GAGA FUCKING SNAPPED.

guys this is actually real like a real person wrote this

me? really into the Dance of the Dragons era and its characters? how could you tell :O ?

Theon returned to his own chambers. He was stripping off his wet clothes when Steelshanks Walton found him. “Come with me, turncloak. His lordship wants words with you.”

He had no clean dry clothes, so he wriggled back into the same damp rags and followed. Steelshanks led him back to the Great Keep and the solar that had once been Eddard Stark’s. Lord Bolton was not alone. Lady Dustin sat with him, pale-faced and severe; an iron horsehead brooch clasped Roger Ryswell’s cloak; Aenys Frey stood near the fire, pinched cheeks flushed with cold.    

A scene from the A Ghost In Winterfell chapter from A Dance With Dragons

“Against all that, Rhaenyra’s advantages were few. Some older lords might yet recall the oaths they had sworn when she was made Princess of Dragonstone and named her father’s heir. There had been a time when she had been well loved by highborn and commons alike, when they had cheered her as the Realm’s Delight. Many a young lord and noble knight had sought her favor then … though how many would still fight for her, now that she was a woman wed, her body aged and thickened by six childbirths, was a question none could answer. Though her half brother had looted their father’s treasury, the princess had at her disposal the wealth of House Velaryon, and the Sea Snake’s fleets gave her superiority at sea. And her consort Prince Daemon, tried and tempered in the Stepstones, had more experience of warfare than all their foes combined. Last, but far from least, Rhaenyra had her dragons.”

Left to right: Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (the Queen That Never Was), Rhaena Targaryen, Baela Targaryen, Prince Daemon Targaryen, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, Viserys II Targaryen, Aegon III Targaryen, Jacaerys Velaryon, Lucerys Velaryon, Corlys Velaryon and Joffrey Velaryon.

the BEST part of mamma mia (2008) one of the greatest movies ever made:

the (purposeful?) lack of effort put into the flashbacks, just straight up putting a wig on 47 year old colin firth, 55 year old pierce brosnan, and 56 year old stellan skarsgard and saying they’re all like 20 (TWENTY) is a level of iconic very few movies possess 

every time i’m in the middle of something else there’s a new star wars trailer

a targaryen alone in the world is a terrible thing

Sansa was the pretty one. [Theon] remembered a time when he had thought that Lord Eddard Stark might marry him to Sansa and claim him for a son, but that had only been a child’s fancy.  

–

I don’t ship Theon and Sansa romantically but I’ve been meaning to draw Theon dreaming of truly becoming a part of House Stark.

He is a head taller than Ned in his dreams lmao
