Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win
Month
So someone I know does woodwork in his spare time… and he showed me this yesterday:
It’s a map of Middle Earth. That he carved onto a table. Himself. In 60-ish hours (or, as he initially put it, “3 Harry Potter audiobooks”)
Just look at the detail…
And the effort that went into this.
Nerd level: Master and Commander.
There is no word in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men for this AWESOMENESS
rifa:
All these mermaid posts are fantastic and all, but you know what other half human creature I’d like to see?
Centaurs.
Chubby pony centaurs.
Big buff Clydesdale centaurs.
Graceful deer bodied centaurs.
African centaurs with zebra or antelope bodies.
Native American centaurs with Appaloosa and pinto horse bodies.
Centaurs!
I did the thing.
Gonna do a full-size upload laterIm screaming
Man I feel really bad for the Tumblr Staff because I bet they aimed for Tumblr to be a cool, suavé, photographic place for artists but in reality it’s made up of hormonal teenagers who obsess over gay fictional characters, and can’t even handle the reblog button turning green to teal
IT IS MINT GREEN
I’VE REBLOGGED THIS TWICE BEFORE REALISING THAT THE STAFF SAID THAT!
I hate playing “never have I ever” because I’m a fucking slut
I hate playing “never have I ever” because I’m a fucking virgin
you will never know which of these two statements reign true for people who reblogs this and that bothers me

“what’s a queen without her king?” well, historically, better
also, in the british monarchy, if a queen is on the throne, there isn’t a king. her husband is a prince. BUT if a king is on the throne, his wife is a queen. which truly shows that the country can be ruled without a king but can’t without a queen.
HISTORY
A Queen and her

It is honestly really fucking gross.
Rowling’s never asked for credits or cookies for Dumbledore being gay or this kid being Jewish. Someone asked her a question, she gave them an answer. She answers a lot of questions. And hell, it’s not just this. People get pissed at her for revealing any info. “New backstory on Umbridge? Omg she’s so desperate for attention.” Funny that other authors can release compendiums, appendixes, etc. of additional information, and it’s awesome, but when Rowling does the same damn thing in the form of twitter, book tours, and Pottermore, it’s awful of her.
Yeah the media plays it up like she made this HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT but these tumblr users, who claim to be socially aware, should know that the media often portrays things oddly so it’s best to go to the source. And it’s not like HP is ongoing either. It’s not like Steven Moffat who said that River Song was bisexual and then made a biphobic excuse as to why he couldn’t add it into the actual show in future episodes.
Rowling just answered a couple of fan questions. She’s never made an excuse. She’s never done anything to draw over the top attention to it. That just happens because of her fame. She’s never used it as a response when someone asks about diversity in the books themselves (i.e. ‘why aren’t there more gay characters?’ ‘oh well Dumbledore is gay’). She has never done that.
That she thinks this ‘counts’ and that she’s asking for pats on the backs is 100% baseless.
@jk-rowling my wife said there are no Jews at Hogwarts. I’m a Jew so I assume she said it to be the only magical 1 in the family. Thoughts?
@benjaminroffman Anthony Goldstein, Ravenclaw, Jewish wizard.
She later clarifies that there are other Jewish students, but Anthony is the one she knows best since he’s one of the ‘original forty’ students she created; aka Harry’s year (Judaism isn’t a huge religion in the UK btw, it averaging out to around one in every two hundred people). Wow. Such arrogance. Such reaching for representation points. Not just answering a question quickly and simply.
If you want to talk about lack of representation in Harry Potter, that’s totally fine and it’s a legitimate discussion. But the entire “ROWLING EXPECTS PROPS AND CREDIT FOR STUFF SHE SAYS AFTER THE BOOKS” is completely without merit.
Tumblr hates successful women, news at eleven.
If you think Ron didn’t recite or reference Ginny’s first valentine to Harry in his best man speech at their wedding you’re wrong.
You can bet your ass Ginny took the microphone away from him and finished the poem from memory.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Harry joined in, tbh.

#oh my god everything about this article is hitting me where I live #forsake manufactured normalacy and look at how extraordinary the world is right now #there are six people living in space and we can /print/ organs and control satilites with apps #”Voyager 1 is more than 11 billion miles away and it’s run off 64K of computing power and an eight-track tape deck” #the internet itself is a goddamn miracle in the making in that humanity—vast swathes of otherwise unconnected humanity—gets together #to watch cat videos and talk about television and laugh at each other’s jokes #if the world isn’t thrilling you YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION #god #I’m all #yeah (via notbecauseofvictories)
Don’t forget the fact that two robots on another planet have Twitter accounts and people here on Earth can follow them and their discoveries. Astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield—my favorite Canadian—has a Tumblr and posted images from space so that we could see what he was seeing. We can watch videos of galaxies merging on YouTube. And we are making so many scientific discoveries that there’s actually a blog called World Science Festival that details discoveries made each WEEK.
Yes, the world is still fucked up in any number of ways, and the problems need to be fixed. But the world’s also amazing.

a girl should always carry tampons because they can be used as a ward against immature boys
simply present one and watch the look of horror on his face as he is forced backwards
build a wall of tampons and no boy can cross
they will not summon the courage to breach the cotton wall

A writer for the new york times interviewed a series of people who had survived jumping off the golden gate bridge. Every person she interviewed admitted that about two thirds of the way down, they realized that every seemingly meaningless problem that caused them to jump was fixable.
Every single one.
THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
