Nothing Is Better Than When Someone Brings Up An Obscure Topic That You Happen To Know A Lot About.

1 universe, 9 planets, 7 seas, 7 continents, 809 islands, 204 countries, and I had the unfortunate luck of meeting u

my friend said that whenever she has a bad feeling about her body/appearance, she asks herself “who profits off of this emotion?” and i really love how simple and incisive that is

buenos días tumblr! for the low low price of 2 dollars, i will ruin your morning :)

we are not born to die!! what are you talking about!! do you think a book begins just to finish? do you think a song opens with a beautiful chord just for it to end? you don’t read the book to finish it, you read the book to eat up the excitement and the emotions it evokes!! to learn and to digest and to fall in love and be heartbroken!! you listen to the song to dance and dance and sing your throat raw!!! to cry and smile and swell with the harmonies!! yes, we are born with the inevitable fate of death, we are mortal after all, but that is merely the finale of the play!! the final act, the closing of the curtains - we are not born to take a bow and exit stage left!! we are born to love and be joyous and yell and move and learn and cry and feelfeelfeel!!!  we are not born to die, silly, we’re born to live!!!

Concept: Being a art teacher that tells their students to never forget their creativity. Then one day, when you are in a hurry for some reason, you run out of class only to come back seconds later shouting “I FORGOT MY CREATIVITY”. You then open your drawer and take out a rock with a paper attached that says “Creativity”. And then you say “Oh there I was lucky. I almost forgot my creativity. Make that a lesson students. Never forget your creativity.” Then you walk out of there with your creativity rock.

Friendly reminder that “rock paper scissors” exist in the Avatar universe

It’s made after the avatar cycle

Not which element actually beats each other in reality, cause that would depend on the bender. In the game it’s decided who wins after the order of the avatar cycle.

Water beats earth

Earth beats fire

Fire beats air

Air beats water

Who wins between water and fire? No one, they are opposite elements. They can’t beat each other.

Who wins between air and earth? No one, they are opposite elements. They can’t beat each other.

The hand gestures are either a move in the bending style or a representation of the element itself;

Water - A hand doing waves (suggestion) - no one really knows the hand gesture for water

Earth - Hand is clenched as a rock - as shown by Aang (pictured above) in the episode City of walls and secrets

Fire - Fingers are flames - as shown by Sokka (pictured above) in the episode City of walls and secrets

Air - A hand facing forward - as shown by two Airbender boys in a flashback (pictured above) in the episode The storm

That’s all the information we have about it at the moment.

(Decided to give the updated version it’s own post)

Not at how this fucking day will go down in history. The generation we are today, absolute power.

The great Area 51 raid.

Every time I rewatch Avatar The Last Airbender and have watched the last episode I go back to the first episode and watch it until the moment Aang says “Will you go penguin sledding with me?” Let the adventure begin again

My school created a God.

I am a student at an art university.

There is an infamous building on our campus, called “Montgomery House” or more commonly, “Monty.” Monty is the building for animation, game design, special effects, sound design, and basically everything that requires highly powerful, highly specialized computers and software. The building is infamous for a couple of reasons. It’s located pretty far away from any other building, for one. The building itself used to be a coffin factory, no joke.  Another is the building has no windows. None. There are also no clocks anywhere. Once you enter Monty, you are completely separated from the flow of time and the light of day.  Probably the reason Monty is most known though is because students in the “monty majors” have to spend a lot of time there. A lot. It is not uncommon for somebody to spend more than a few days exclusively within the sunless, dark walls of Monty. If you go to the building, it is not surprising to see students sleeping on the floor, on the few chairs available, on the computers. Some bring sleeping bags and rations. Some just forgo sleep, buy espresso shots and work. The entire building just smells of coffee and sweat. It really seems like an exageration, but its not hyperbole. 

Why I bring this up is because of something that’s started recenetly. Inside the building, the school has hung up artwork on the walls from other majors as is typical on campus. One of the artworks was a self-portrait painting of a man with long, scraggly brown hair and a full beard looking pensively off into the distance. The painting became known as “Monty Jesus.”

Students, in their desperation for their files to render, or the computers to work, began to offer prayers to Monty Jesus. Soon, they began writing their prayers and taping them next to the painting. The wall is now covered, completly plastered, in prayers to Monty Jesus for things like “Fix the wifi” and “let me live through finals” and more simply “help me.” Candles have been added. Literal candles are placed around Monty Jesus in hopes he will help them.

This is how religions are born. Monty Jesus is considered a “joke”, but people at Monty still hold…. quite a lot of superstitious faith in the concept. There is even talk of a “Monty Satan” that creates software failures. It might be in jest, but these students really are hoping for some force to help them. And they’ve given it a name, an image, and respect.  Monty Jesus is real, and I’m sure of it. The desperate students have created their own spirit and their own form of worship, out of need.

Religion, spirituality, didn’t stop being relevant. It didn’t stop being something people need and want, and have the desire to create. It’s still happening, and it always will as long as their are people.  The spirit of creation, new deities and new worship, is alive and well today and should not be ignored simply because it is “new” or “a joke.”
