i made a college vine compilation b/c Suffering™️

I thought she was then going to say “…in the sea” but she said “…they’re like flies” and made a disgusted face.

Everything movies taught me about archery is wrong. This is a complete mind-blower. 8D

My favorite part?

He learned this doing research for LARPs (Live Action Role Playing):

Lars Andersen originally started using bow and arrow to fight in pretend battles during Larps (live action role play) events, where he played a soldier in a medieval-inspired army. While Larps can be about anything – the Danish/Polish Harry Potter inspired larp College of Wizardry (cowlarp.com) recently got world-wide media attention and there wasn’t a rubber sword in sight there – many Larps take place in fantasy worlds inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. And it was at one of these Larps, that Lars started to learn to shoot fast while moving.

In 2012, Lars Andersen released his video, “Reinventing the fastest forgotten archery”, where he showed how he had learned to shoot from old archery manuscripts. Using these old, forgotten techniques, Lars demonstrated how he was now the fastest archer on the planet, and after its release, the video got 3 million hits on YouTube in two days.

Since the 2012 video was released, Lars has studied and practiced, and he is now able to fire three arrows in 0.6 seconds – a truly stunning feat making him much faster than the legendary fictional archer Legolas (played by Orlando Bloom in the Lord of the Rings movies).

The time benchmark he was trying to achieve, according to the video, was the expectation of the speed at which “Saracen“ archers were expected to shoot. In fact, most of the source material as far as I can see isn’t European.

Dear everyone telling me to calm down, because it’s going to be okay.

I hope everyone that voted third party, wrote in “harambe” (a literally fucking irrelevant meme about a dead gorilla), wrote in Bernie, or didn’t vote at all in a form of “protest,” feels proud of themselves right now. If you aren’t going to take an election seriously, you don’t deserve the privilege of having one at all. And now you–yes specifically all of you–don’t get to say shit or complain about what comes next. Because YOU helped bring this on. You dug a grave, now all of us are lying in it. You don’t want Trump as pres, you say? Well you had the ability to contribute to an effort against that, but you chose to act like an entitled child. That’s on you.
