éowyn pretended to be dernhelm, a man. to fit in, she must have worn men’s armor. so the armor in the illustrations is normal for rohirrim.

therefore, all the rohirrim rode to war just like that:

male or female

hero or villain

sea or land

even in the snow

He’s just an old man…he doesn’t have any of the Batman’s gadgets or training or fighting skills!

Alfred: Oh my you’re right

There’s something else of Master Bruce’s I don’t have as well

So I accept the reality that they need to have income, but I want it on the user's terms. The checkmarks are a silly joke making fun of Twitter that lets users decide to "opt in" and give Tumblr money. It's clear from the beginning what we get for that money and what Tumblr gets from the transaction, same with paying to put crabs on your dash for a day. It's a fun, very Tumblr-like thing that gives me a way to choose to support Tumblr without significantly changing my or others user experience and without losing any of what I enjoy about Tumblr.

Tumblr Live is not that. It is a new feature that no one asked for and which is clearly trying to grab some of the popularity of TikTok. I don't judge anyone for enjoying TikTok, but it's not my kind of thing, and it's not what I come to Tumblr for. Video is a very popular format with advertisers, so I am guessing that's part of why it was implemented. It concerns me that this may be the beginning of Tumblr shifting towards catering to advertisers rather than its users, and that shift would destroy the uniqueness of Tumblr and make it just like every other shitty social media site that's all about harvesting and selling users' data.

The main reason I ever wanted to write a Hungarian mythology-based urban fantasy is that I needed to see someone do Bread Magic in a mundane modern setting.

Bread Magic shows up in a variety in Hungarian fairytales. It works like this: when someone evil, usually the devil, sometimes a dragon, wants to come into your house and hurt you, usually by taking your children, what you do is put a loaf of bread on the windowsill. It will speak for you.

When evil demands admission, the bread will say: First, they buried me under the ground, and I survived. When I sprouted, they cruelly cut me down with sickles, and I survived. They threshed me with their flails and I survived. They ground me to flour with their millstones and I survived. They put me in a bowl and kneaded me, then they put me in a hot oven to bake me, and I survived. Have you done all these things? Until you do all these things and survive, you have no power here.

This is pretty powerful magic I think, and it makes sense in a country where wheat is the staple crop and bread is the staple food. If you have bread, you are alive, if you have no bread, you are dead, therefore bread is life. It was customary to refer to wheat as “life” well into the twentieth century, and not in high literary circles either: rural seasonal workers negotiated their wages in so and so many sacks of life.
