Aluminium is so cool, like, some dude saw it and thought "this is exactly what I need to make a flying machine that’s huge but not too heavy" and someone else was like "wouldn’t it be cool if I sliced it really thin and wrapped my breakfast in it instead of boring ol’ paper"

No one is doing it like Sybil Ramkin. She's one of the most rich and powerful women in the city. She married a skrunkly little commoner nightwatchman. She raises dragons in her free time. She's canonically both tall and fat. She's a fierce advocate for the oppressed. She created a free hospital. She can fuck you up. She's childhood friends with the tyrant of the city. She is compared to empires and dreadnoughts. Icon.

PSA: Writing a book can take a looooong time. If you've been working on your project for a year, two years, five years... you're not doing anything wrong. If you've written three drafts and thrown them all away, if you can only write a hundred words a day, if you put your book down for six months and pick it up again only to be baffled by what you've written... Congratulations. You're not inefficient or slow. You're just a writer. Welcome to the writing life.

Just stole a last name for a character in desperate need of one from a famous actor. It’s not like he was using it, anyway.

better call saul is the funniest show ever because the b plot will be: cartel shootout!!! nacho is bleeding out in the desert!!! will gus avenge his lover's murder at last?!?! and the a plot is: jimmy has a job interview. at the printer store.

Walking or running up and down the hillside makes me feel alive in such a special, unique way that nothing else can give

do y'all ever think about what sherlock holmes would deduce about you or are you normal

This has definitely happened somewhere in Discworld.

I’ve never seen Star Trek, but I love this poetry and I agree that this gentleman doesn’t deserve being treated so meanly. It must’ve been pretty difficult to incorporate all these complex words and terms into the rhythm of a poem, and that’s a nice and original way to express affection. I’d love to listen to the way he reads it, too (partly because I have doubts about pronouncing half of these words even with the help of the rhythmic clues). (also I saw this thread on Pinterest first and I’m rather glad to see it appear on my own Tumblr dashboard without any particular reason (again, I’m not a Star Trek fan))

I actually… love this

Sometimes I remember he died, he was dead for real, but SO MANY people loved him SO MUCH that he was brought back to life and got to have so many more adventures and get old and eventually retire and yes it's a fictional character but sometimes I think about that and I have to lie down and have a cry about it. We love you Sherlock Holmes

Well... to bad Fives

anyway sound off. at what stage do ppl think Han figured out the Force was real. the boring answer is after seeing Obi-wan vanish but i think he could rationalise that away as his eyes playing tricks on him. what do we think.

Wow, I admire this artwork

Happy 10th anniversary to the final part of my favorite trilogy ever!

Я самый обаятельный и привлекательный, все мужчины от меня без ума…

(кто понял тот понял/if you know you know)

Imagine being a feared drug lord that orders the death of children, threatens infant daughters, poisons the Cartel, and runs a huge meth dealing operation and the moniker your rivals know you as is "Chicken Man."

I like how in Night Watch Vimes has to face his younger self and has the universal experience of cringing at his younger self but realizes you need to start somewhere. You start out naive and ignorant then life bites you in the ass and you learn, unless you're Vetinari then you've always been cool.

The Auditors: We just need everyone to stop moving so we can get on with the paperwork! How are we meant to get the filing done when humans are running around all the time causing fresh chaos?

Rufus Drumknott: Skill issue.

So plain and simple yet so recognisable and adorable

Happy New Year, everyone!

May the Force be with you, always

Live long and prosper

May the odds be ever in your favour

Aim to misbehave

May there be good in this world that’s worth fighting

Don’t. Be. Dead

May you not live in interesting times

Don’t get in legal trouble, but if you do, better call Saul

…and so on and so forth, feel free to add :)

And from me personally: love yourself, love life, love people, and then you’ll be loved too, because I said so

You deserve happiness, don’t be afraid to pursue it, but if you are, try and "do it scared"

May 2025 be your year. Our year.
