Dreams would be much more fun if they were multi-player servers that other sleeping people could join.
It will be love
They, claim to love me for my wild restless nature. Amused by my writing, my creating, my curiosity. So I allow them in one at a time. Only to learn it is just for show, they chase me out of the garage, out of the street, out of the studio, and in to the kitchen and bedroom where they tie me up with apron strings and tell me to smile for the children. They smooth my hair and say, there, isn't this better. You look so pretty with your hands clean and the paint washed from your face. Isn't this nice, you don't need to stay up lost in some silly book or get bitten by bugs out in the middle of nowhere. Isn't it just lovely, I will keep you safe right here beside me and you will never have to wander again. They dry my tears so proud of themselves and when they turn away, I climb out the window and run down the street. I run until the next one comes along and I believe, and let them in. Because someday it will be real. Someday I will find someone that truly loves me with grease on my hands and paint in my hair and then we will get lost in the middle of nowhere and not care, because we will be reading books under the stars and moon until dawn. That someone will walk home beside me hand in hand and that will be love Coffee At Midnight
Today’s the day. The day you help save the internet from being ruined.
Ready?
Yes, you are, and we’re ready to help you.
(Long story short: The FCC is about to make a critical decision as to whether or not internet service providers have to treat all traffic equally. If they choose wrong, then the internet where anyone can start a website for any reason at all, the internet that’s been so momentous, funny, weird, and surprising—that internet could cease to exist. Here’s your chance to preserve a beautiful thing.)
okay today i learned that apparently the penis has a say in whether or not a child will be a boy or a girl
female sperm swims slower than male sperm, but the males can’t swim for as long as the females. this means that a long penis will be closer to the egg when releasing the sperm, and there will be a higher chance for the child to be a boy.
so in conclusion
if you have a lot of sons you have a big dick
there’s a copy of the declaration of independence on the bulletin board in my western civ class

Handmade Swords - Earil
By Peter Lyon of Weta Workshop
Edition Size: 1
Measurements: Blade length: 915mm (36”). Overall length: 1217mm (48”). Weight: 1.94Kg (4 pounds 4 ounces). Balance point: 71mm (2.8”) along blade, measured from the shoulder of the blade
The sword has been made especially for the Weta Cave and Weta’s Online Shop to sell to the public. It is similar to late medieval European longswords, but with design flourishes transform it into a piece of art as well. A longsword is light enough and balanced to be used with one hand, but it can also be used two handed for powerful cutting blows. The blade is broad for much of its length, making for strong cuts, but comes to an acute point for effective thrusts, making this a true cut-and-thrust sword.
The individual parts have shapes and detail lines that blend into each other and continue into the next component, so that shapes continue even as the materials change, and the shapes of all the hilt parts draw the eye towards the diamond shaped bosses in the centre of the grip, filled with polished Paua (New Zealand abalone) shell each side. At the same time there is a strong central line through the hilt and along the blade, emphasising the straight and symmetrical shapes of the sword.
This sword has many nautical features which led me to the name, “Aearil”, which in Elvish means “Gleaming Ocean”.
The straight blade is ground from spring steel bar, and has been heat treated to give the best possible combination of toughness and edge hardness. Historically blades were forged into shape and to remove flaws in the steel, but the consistency and high specifications of modern steels mean this is no longer necessary.
The bevelled edge is blunted for safety and display, but could just as easily be sharpened for cutting tests. The tang of the blade is strong and wide, and passes through the cross guard, grip and pommel, and is peened over the end of the pommel for maximum strength.
The cross guard is cut from a block of mild steel. From the centre block it projects along the blade and towards the ends, which are split into a fork. This is an unusual feature which I don’t recall being used on a sword before. The cross is set onto the shoulders of the blade for extra strength and stability, as was done on medieval European swords to prevent the cross becoming loose and rattling through use.
The grip is made of beech wood, covered with leather. Thin cords under the leather create the designs, and the leather has been carefully tooled to fit into all the shapes created by the cords. The grip was mostly drilled out then fitted by heating the tang and burning out the remaining wood for a tight fit, and finally glued in place. It is a two handed grip; the foregrip is straight to give a strong gripping surface, while the waisted shape of the upper grip encourages the second hand to nestle into the inside curves of the pommel.
The mild steel pommel is also a counterweight for the blade. It is shaped somewhat like a fish tail, with curved and recessed faces to add interesting shapes, and also to remove weight and get the best possible balance for the sword overall. The pommel was set tight onto the tapering tang before the end was peened over.

made by filmmaker David F. Sandberg
Someone described it as “I normally can’t stand horror stuff, but this one was short enough to stomach. Once. After that, it’s all nope nope nope, and I’m never turning my lights off ever again.”

At one time, one of Toothless’s animator stuck a ball of duct-tape on his own cat’s tail for reference which ended up perfect for this shot. (actual footage of his cat he used)
things girls are made to feel ashamed of-
having periods
choosing what they want to wear on their body
wanting to/not wanting to have sex
putting boys in the ‘friendzone’
standing up against misogyny
ruining a boy’s life by telling the police that he raped her
abortion
having hair on their body
not appreciating catcalls
not appreciating chivalry
having control over their own fucking body
basically living
This is why I love the movie so much. It reminded me not to hide my talents away. Not to be afraid of what I can do. It reminded me it's ok to let people in.
..C-can you please get off of him!?
