Random Shit

And Peter says, "No. No, man, this is how we live."

(And he grinned then, they say afterward, laughed into the face of it, and every man's heart leapt at the sound of that laughter.)

Imagine how Peter Pevensie never shuts down during battle, doesn't close himself off from all the horror and pain, but rather breathes it in, turns it into passion and drive, and they say his eyes burn like stars, that he shines in the hell-storm like a beacon.

There were so many times throughout this season and all the other seasons where Portia reminds me of a much brighter (color pallet wise) and sharper tongued Mrs. Bennet from P&P. Portia has 3 daughters and her sole purpose as their mother is to get them married once they are out in society. But then Portia is plagued by an idiot husband and broke cousin (Jack) and this has to play both Mother and Father to her girls. Was she as warm and comforting as Violet, no. But you cannot convince me that everything she did was out of love for the one thing she was allowed to call hers. Her children.

She didn’t think anything malicious about Penelope leaving early, she just thought she’d had enough social interaction for the evening. When Prudence admitted that she didn’t like sex, Portia was just about to have a rather instructional conversation explaining how a woman can find their own pleasure, until Philipa’s fantastically delivered line. When Philipa runs out of the ball room to be sick, Portia is genuinely worried only to realize why Philipa is sick as only a mother can understand.

Gnomish fascism, one would assume, builds off of this, giving you an ideology built around a Gnomish Nation-State that sees itself as the uniquely suited caretaker of the forest, owing to a rich history and strong racial identity around their connection with nature.

And I feel like that, right there, explains so much about how the site has changed in the last few months.

People now think reblogging is an unusual behaviour, rather than a default.

Tumblr newbies, please, for the love of baby Jesus, reblog the posts you like. That is the whole reason the site exists - for you to collect all your shiny fandom objects in a single space. Which you can organize to your heart's content. Or not organize at all, if that's your jam.

Liking does absolutely nothing. There is no algorithm like on IG that will use likes to throw content at people. If you don’t reblog, then no one who doesn’t follow that person (or happen to find it in the tags) will see that post.

They had a duty of care over these kids and they couldn't stop him. Maybe none of them knew Goldenhoard was Kalvaxus, but did they not notice Coach Daybreak using Dayne and Ragh for his "weird religious stuff". Did nobody pick up on Penelope?

Multiple teenage girls have gone missing before the start of the year and the only teacher who is even mildly concerned about that is related to one of them.

Obviously Porter (and Jace) being evil kind of explains why nobody noticed Ragh and Penelope, as they would presumably be the closest to those two (even if they weren't evil during the season, Porter at least presumably was by this point).

But wtf was Halo doing? Dayne was a paladin, right? Halo didn't notice? Idk, I feel like that's a bit of an epic fail for a paladin to not notice one of his students were turning evil.

Why were all the teachers now not on high alert? They'd be more likely swing the other way and be too over protective about their students being manipulated. Or you'd think.

Not to excuse Kipperlilly but maybe if her teacher was, idk, present at any point she would have been able to go "oh, that's not good" before she rocked up at her grave with a hoe.
