My mom got a dog.
It's a cute dog. But it's my mom's dog. Except it keeps following me. He just got here and his name is Thor.
HIS SHIRT CAME OPEN SO FUCKING SMOOTH…EVERYTHING HE DOES IS SMOOTH. KILLME.
CR: @chattyang
casual reminder that i wrote an 90-page novel when i was eight about a deranged pensioner who wants to take over the world and return everything to “The Good Old Days”, and which included such choice elements as
a really neurotic vegetarian vampire
alice cooper, for no apparent reason
an evil supermodel called miranda goth
three nine-year-olds climbing mount everest in diving helmets
the entire population of scotland appearing out of literally nowhere to help defeat the antagonists
“you can take our lives but you cannot take our trousers"
Things that make no sense #364: Harry Potter/Lord Voldemort pairings. I don’t know who came up with it but whoever you are, I want you to know it's bollocks.
If you’re bias isn’t Mark, it is now
Well, looks like Matilda Jones, aged seven, is the new ruler of Great Britain sorry I don’t make the rules.
Sometimes I think people just can't get more delusional... Then I read fanfiction that has a magical portrait of James and Lily saying they trust Snape and I realize how wrong I was.
Did you guys know that when Brazil became a Republic in 1889, it was only supposed to be provisional? That it had to be decided by popular vote whether we wanted to remain a Republic or not?
Well, we did. IN 1993. 104 YEARS OF PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR.
Brazil in a nutshell, honestly.
Re-watching Poldark season 1 and I can’t believe Ross blamed Demelza for what Francis did to him and his company. What, so because he didn’t approve of Verity’s lover boy, he got to ruin two families, Ross’ business and possibly his marriage, but it’s Demelza’s fault for being a supportive friend? Excuse you, but no. If Francis thinks his “betrayed” feelings are more important than people’s literal lives and means of supporting themselves, then he’s an asshole and he can go die in a ditch.
Also, Ross is a jerk to Demelza, like, 87% of the time.
Dear Netflix, why do you care if I use VPN? I’m still paying for it. I just want to watch Poldark in peace.
I don’t know if it’s just me but up until the sixth episode or so I thought Margaret Beaufort was just some crazy religious nuts... and then I started to kind of agree with her? ‘Till this day, I can’t tell if it is because she got better or everyone else got worse.
Australian comedian Jim Jefferies points out the ridiculousness of American pro-gun arguments. x x
You need to write about a random Scottish sheep farmer in the Highlands. One that can’t read and has no neighbours. Only him, his wife, five daughters and three sons and their desperate fight for survival in complete isolation.
I try not to judge people’ favorite historical figures but I cannot help but side-eye the fuck out of anyone who claims they really like Henry VIII…
Even so, people like Jacquetta and Elizabeth Woodville had several children in quick sucession no problem. I think Catherine’s problem might have been health related because she did gave birth more than once, but her children died really young and I heard it said it could’ve been because something was wrong with her. I don’t remember the particular of that argument, though, sorry.
And I think Anne’s problems might have been more stress related? She was in a bit of a precarious position there and stress does some serious shit to you. Coupled with the living conditions and general health nobles had those days, it isn’t surprising she couldn’t bring her babies to term.
sassenach-on-the-rocks replied to your post: I don’t think Anne Boleyn had difficulties getting…
I always figured that was the case for both Catherine and Anne. Back to back pregnancies isnt healthy for anyone. I had a friend tell me that she was advised by her doctor that for some women it can take up to a year for a womans body to fully heal depending up how the pregnancy went.
Yep! back to back pregnancies is really hard on the body. I probably would place my bets on this being the cause of Catherine and Anne’s troubles. Then the last three wives the cause would probably be Henry inability to have sex.
Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.
Who was the Potter cat?
So we all know the Potters had a cat, right?
All we have per descriptions of this cat is that 1. It was enough of a Potter to make the list when they went into hiding and 2. Harry scared it with his new broom he got from Sirius.
There is further no mention of said cat.
On the other hand, don’t we know another, really old, beaten down, ugly, sad, sad cat?
A cat that befriended Sirius Black and seemed to KNOW Peter Pettigrew’s smell, hold a grudge against him, even?
Part-kneazle, so it has a remarkable ability for finding things that are shiny and that it has a connection to, like, say, a family member.
A cat that knows it’s way around Hogwarts, around the Whomping Willow, almost like it had been there before with another owner.
A cat that absolutely REFUSED to let Hermione leave that shop without him after seeing a certain rat, was CRAZED, almost.
We have no mention of this cat/kneazle’s age, except that it had been in the shop for a while and no one had wanted it. Magical creatures live a long time. Cats live a long time. It’s within reason that this cat could be 30, even 40 years old.
It makes too much sense.
The Potter cat is Crookshanks.
Am I the inly one seeing Crockpot Cold Water?
The neural network has weird ideas about what humans like to eat
So I’ve been training this neural network to generate cookbook recipes by letting it look at tens of thousands of existing recipes.
The generated titles can get a bit odd.
There’s a creativity variable I can set when the network is generating new recipes, and when I set it low, it comes up with its best guess at the most quintessential recipe titles:
Cream Cheese Soup Cream Of Sour Cream Cheese Soup Chocolate Cake (Chocolate Cake) Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake Chocolate Chicken Chicken Cake Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake Chocolate Chips Chocolate Chips With Chocolate Chips
When I tell it to get creative, things get even weirder.
Beef Soup With Swamp Peef And Cheese Chocolate Chops & Chocolate Chips Crimm Grunk Garlic Cleas Beasy Mist Export Bean Spoons In Pie-Shell, Top If Spoon and Whip The Mustard Chocolate Pickle Sauce Whole Chicken Cookies Salmon Beef Style Chicken Bottom Star * Cover Meats Out Of Meat Completely Meat Circle Completely Meat Chocolate Pie Cabbage Pot Cookies Artichoke Gelatin Dogs Crockpot Cold Water
today i found out that victor hugo has had more sex than possibly almost any other human that has lived on this planet.
he had so much sex his biographers straight up gave up trying to document all of his sexual partners. he was reported to fuck up to 3-9 times a day. He had a secret sex diary written in code. He had “official” and “unofficial” mistresses. One estimate was that he had ~200 sexual partners in two years.
Icon.
Some advice for dressmakers:
1. Pockets are a thing. 2. Breasts are a thing.
Leave room in your design for both.
You guys remember when I said we were all going to watch The White Princess even though we bitched about it? I was right.
I vividly remember the scene in like the second movie where the Weasleys were looking at their school supply list and Molly was like “I really don’t know how we’re going to afford it this year” after they had just risked life and limb to rescue Harry and Harry was sitting there eating their food like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
