Blood Loss? No I Know Exactly Where It Is

Michael Carpenter: Sure, you may be verified on Twitter. But are you verified in the eyes of God?

The dresden files show is like, way off from the books, but the one scene I honestly belive would fit in the books is:

Morgan: some things never change. Always blowing things up. Harry: I don’t always blow things up. Morgan: right. Sometimes you set things on fire.

Like, that is a legit exchange that would happen.

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

V - Which character do you relate to most?

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

How To Appeal A Post When You Don’t Have The Appeal Button

Since the 17th about 12 of my posts where flagged as adult content and when I went to try and appeal it there was no appeal button. I went through their help and read the whole article. I even contacted support who then copied and pasted their help page not even trying to assist me.  All I know is that there was supposed to be a button for the original creator to click and allow up to appeal but there wasn’t.

On my computer:

On the app:

See no button for appeal.

It has taken me days to figure out this work around and I thought some other people out there might be having this issue.

Now here is how you appeal your post when you don’t have the appeal button

Now go through your blog and find all your pages with censored posts clicking on them to take you to the original post.

Take a look at the url.

See that number there? Copy it!

Open up a new page and type in this:

https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard/blog/your url/

At the end paste that number.

When you hit enter you will get this:

The appeal button is finally there! Click it!

You’ll get this message and then you’ll click appeal again.

Your post is now being appealed.

You can check that it was fixed just by refreshing your blogs page.

And that’s it! I know it is stupid and ridiculous to do such a ridiculous back method but unfortunately it’s the only solution I’ve come up with.

Also no you can’t just use the weird sidebar dashboard to find it as any flagged posts don’t actually show up at all in it.

Anyways I hope this helps you guys.

Hot take: Morgan was right the whole time.

Journal gives us a very clear explanation for Morgan's general antagonism towards Harry, and recontextualises literally every interaction they ever have.

Storm Front, he's actually not at all unreasonable. He's very suspicious, but anyone would have good reason to suspect Harry, and seriously bad stuff is happening. And Harry takes the opportunity to attack him over an insult. And there's every chance that Morgan knows Nemesis is in play. Maybe he even knows something specific about the heart ripping spell, which turns out to have a Nemesis connection of some kind. And then... It works out so very perfectly for Harry. An encounter between a Nemesis pawn (we know for sure that the Gatekeeper recognises this at some point, so it's reasonable that Morgan does too, possibly even at the time) and Harry, who is a suspected Nemesis pawn, a very high stakes one, ends with the situation working out so perfectly that Morgan himself is obliged to vindicate Harry from all suspicion. Doesn't that just sound like a perfectly manipulated play? Doesn't that sound exactly what Nemesis does with Maeve subborning Lily? Nemesis sacrificing smaller pawns to give an important one credibility?

Then Morgan doesn't show up until Summer Knight. Harry just kicked off a war between the Courts and the Council. Oh hey, and his Godmother (who Morgan almost certainly knew about), who has actually always been trying to protect Harry, has traded away her leverage that would let her do so, to the ruler of the force that protects against the Outsiders. Harry's gone from being a festering question mark that might be a time bomb, to being a nuclear power plant that already exploded and is now slowly building towards utter, Armageddon class meltdown. Not only that, but one of the Senior Council is dead, Dresden's own grandmaster on the evil side, and Dresden's own grandfather is now taking his place, which he'd refused for years before, after a private conversation with Dresden, one of the few times the Blackstaff has even been out in the open for years. Oh, and then Dresden manages to immediately get the famously neutral Gatekeeper, the single most crucial figure in the fight at the Gates, the most important person to keep free of Nemesis, to back him up, at least in part. Morgan has *every* reason to be absolutely frothing at the mouth *insane* to take Dresden out of the picture at this point. He looks *exactly* like the worst case scenario Morgan has been fearing since Malcolm's death. And yet with all that, what does he do? He follows the Merlin's orders to goad Harry into giving him an excuse for execution (just goading, Morgan doesn't attack him). And when Harry tries to contact the Senior Council again, Morgan doesn't let him through. Morgan who clearly suspects Harry is spreading the Contagion, won't let him get more access to the Senior Council at a critical moment.

After that what is there? Their next two significant interactions are Morgan trying to kill him after he watched Harry murder the woman Morgan loved, his master, his commander, the woman in charge of leading the combat arm of the Council. *Nobody* can blame him for that reaction, even without the Nemesis context. And then at the end of the book, he leaves Harry as Warden commander of half a continent.

I really can't pick out a moment where, all things considered, Morgan acted unreasonably. Hell, aside from the Dead Beat incident where there was simply the sensible reaction to a situation that seemed crystal clear, he constantly shows tolerance and fairness and restraint with Harry.

But of course I didn't just say he was justified, I said Morgan was *right*. We see in Ghost Story how He Who Walks Behind gave Harry an antagonist to hate and fight and blow up a building to kill, setting him on a darker path, preparing for something. Who says He Who Walks Beside wasn't doing the same thing in Storm Front? And gosh, giving Harry credibility and heroism in the eyes of the Council do masterfully really *does* feel like a Nemesis plot going off flawlessly, doesn't it? Then Summer Knight, we know (assuming that Harry hasn't *actually* been infected this whole time) that he wasn't spreading the Contagion, but the way that Lea, who we know *was* infected, and possibly working up to depose Mab, puts Harry into her orbit is definitely out of character, and absolutely reeks of Nemesis influence. Indeed, considering the events of Cold Days, it's very possible that this whole episode was about forging Harry into a weapon to kill Mab at a critical moment. This is also around the time we assume Maeve to have been infected...

Aside from the Dead Beat incident, Morgan only really went at Harry hard in situations where I think he actually *was* being moved like a chess piece by the Adversary.

every time…

I promise I’m actually going to do these. I’m sorry they’re taking so long

Hey I just hit 100 followers so give me a bit and I’ll post 100 headcanons.

Luccio:[burning a dossier with Young Morgan’s information in it] The Donald Morgan you knew is dead! Happy birthday! You’re the White Council’s baby now. Are you prepared to do whatever the Council asks of you!?

Young Morgan:[super stoked] YES!

Luccio: Can you keep your head about you when confronted with mind-blowing weirdness at every turn!?

Young Morgan: YES!

Luccio: Are you ready for anything?

Young Morgan: YES!

Luccio: …Are you still ready for anything?

Young Morgan: YE-[Luccio takes out a staff and clubs him in the knee]

Luccio: Wrong! Lesson number one, trust no one! The minute god crapped out the third caveman a conspiracy was hatched against one of them! Get up damn you!

Young Morgan: [hesitantly gets up]

Luccio: Your training starts now. When i’m through with you, you’ll be a member of the elite organization that’s been thanklessly defending this big-ass world since the Second Trojan War…the invisible one! [Opens portal to the Nevernever and shoves Morgan in]

No, but seriously, do you know how amazing Vincent Price is?

Not just as an actor, although he was a blast to watch in everything he did.  He’s one of those actors who’s just clearly having a whale of a time, no matter how bad the film is.  He’s just genuinely happy to be there (it makes his villains a particular delight, and he played a LOT of them).

But did you know that he was also on the PFLAG board after his daughter came out to him?  And that he was one of the earliest celebrities to speak out against the silence surrounding the AIDS epidemic?

Did you know that when his daughter came out to him, he admitted to her that it had been difficult for him during his first two marriages, because his wives had not been pleased to find out that their husband was just as interested in men as they were?

That’s right, kids, Vincent Price was BISEXUAL AS FUCK, and it was one of those open Hollywood secrets.  And his wife Coral Browne?  The one he grew old with and wrote cookbooks with and was basically ridiculously sweet with?

Also bisexual as fuck.  They were the queer power couple of Hollywood in the 70s.  His daughter, Victoria, grew up around Rock Hudson and members of the LGBT community.  When she came out, Vincent Price became a board member of PFLAG and was just about the most accepting and awesome dad.

Did you know that Vincent Price played Oscar Wilde in a one-man play, and when it was denounced by anti-gay activist Anita Bryant, he dismissed her right back, saying that Oscar Wilde had already come up with a term for her: a Woman of No Importance?  Because Vincent Price was deliciously witty and an awesome person.

Let me conclude with a quote from his daughter (from this article, where I got a lot of this information):

‘“In a funny way, and I think I’m going to cry, he understood me at 22 better than I understood myself then,” Price concluded. “Of course, he was in his 70s and lived a hell of a lot longer than I had, and he understood that at the end of the day it’s about who and what and how we love. And I have not been a person who has been very successful at conventional relationships, but loving well and loving deeply has been the most important thing to me.”’

Happy birthday, Vincent Price.  You were a gem of an actor, and an even greater human being.

This again but this time it’s about how much it blows to be the executioner. He could really use a better job :/ 

Who needs the stupidly intricate plan I put together for The Warlock when I could just forget about the plan entirely and have Morgan monologue about how much it blows to be a Warden for two pages
