I HAD TO.

I felt a tad sceptical towards Castlevania up until this moment

because we all suffer

HAHA!

Ok this is a mess and probably not a good likeness of either, BUT hear me out: Book accurate Sherlock with Dev Patel as Holmes and Riz Ahmed as Watson? Please?? I’ve convinced myself that I need this. Patel’s Sherlock would 10/10 shake a baby’s hand (among other actual canon Holmes shenanigans). Besides, Riz already has that long-suffering “what have you done now, Holmes” look.

reblog if you think lego joker is better than jared leto’s joker

but Tolkien draws such cute dragons, omg

like look at Smaug, look at his ears, DON’T YOU JUST WANT TO SCRATCH BEHIND HIS EARS AND TELL HIM HE’S A GOOD BOY

and look at this guy, I guess he’s supposed to be ferocious but it looks more like “whoa man chill out, I’m just saying that those shoes with that helmet was maybe not the greatest fashion decision, just a little friendly advice, no need to get defensive.”

THIS LITTLE BB ALL CURLED UP AND TAKIN’ A NAP

I want this one to live in my pocket and be my sassy talking dragon sidekick

SO SMILEY!! “gonna go terrorize some helpless villagers aw yiss”

but my favorite is this little doodle here

just look at him

LOOK AT HOW HAPPY HE IS

LOL man.

never forget white people did nothing first neither the best, they sleep and eat false propaganda,

Ugh, why the shit does that have to turn into a race thing? Why does EVERYTHING have to turn into a race thing?

because white people have made sure that everything is about race

as proved by the fact that when you say explorer, you think of a bunch of white guys walking the world and discovering it ~exotic wonders~ even though Zheng He travelled through Asia, to the Middle East, and even East Africa. But you’d likely never heard of him before.

Same reason you never heard of Ahmad Ibn Fadlan, an Arab traveller who, as early as the 10th century, went to the Volga area for diplomatic reasons. He wrote about it, much as Marco Polo would do later for his own travels, and is one of our sources on what viking were like (and by all accounts, he wrote about them more accurately than western scholars of the same period did)

Oh, or Ibn Battuta who travelled throughout Africa long before europeans did, and even went to Europe himself.

And that’s just some example of Muslim medieval travel writers

Everything is about race because white people keep telling everyone that their race is the only one who every got anything done.

i have heard of precisely zero non-european explorers ever in my life, and that fucking sucks. this exhibit is amazing and i need to learn more.

That boat is a frickin aircraft carrier comparatively. Holy crap. And no. Never heard a peep.

Zhenghe went to over 40 countries in Asia and Africa and probably went even further, but I didn’t encounter that in history books before. He brought gifts from China to every country he went to and everyone loved him. It was just like “Hey, I’m here with a water-helicarrier and a gift,” and the kings of every country were lilke “holy shit son well here have a giraffe.” There are paintings depicting him leading a giraffe as well. Check him out guys, he’s really cool

Read Robert Marks: The Origins of the Modern World. A great introduction to global history that deconstructs the west-centered narrative we are used to. Should honestly be required reading in all history studies from college onwards.
