You must understand that historians are not allowed to cum unless they're calling someone a crackpot fraud.

Imagine you spent six years of your life and 120,000$ to read every word that anyone has ever written about a particular Catholic priest from 1602. You go through dozens of shit roommates and brushes with mental breakdowns just so you can write one genuinely authoritative paper about this guy.

and then some dickhead Tumblr funnyposter says something mildly reductive about your guy on the internet for a joke. And the joke isn't even very funny. You'd wanna kill that guy with a rock.

Happy Faire Friday!

For today I thought I'd share a closeup look at some of the work that went into my fire top.

In an effort to stay away from flammable materials, I made it out of scrap pieces of leather i had around the shop and fire tested it before use. :)

I wore it for the first time during last year's faire season, and it's been holding up really well since. That being said, I'm always keeping an eye out for fitting pendants to decorate it with.

Next, it's onto the leg covers and possible mask.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. I can't wait to see you guys at this upcoming faire season. ^^

Movies where the lead actor did their own stunts are always either "the director forced them to stand in freezing water for fourteen hours a day while periodically throwing rocks at their head for the sake of 'authenticity' and they got PTSD and almost died" or "they insisted over the explicit objections of the production's insurance company that they be set on fire for real because it would 'help [them] understand the character's motivation'" – there's absolutely no middle ground.

From the Leverage commentaries, I gather that the latter must have a subcategory of "The actor wasn't supposed to do the stunt, but we took our eyes off them for 5 minutes and they slipped in and did the stunt before we realized it wasn't the stunt guy."

I'd add the Tom Cruise tier to the list , where the actor himself calls a director up like "yo, i just thought of some new certain-chance of-death-small-chance-of-success stunts, can you build a script around them? Also I will also be needing a single thread of spiderweb from which I will be dangling over a live volcano. "

academic bias is so funny because you’ll be reading about the same historical event and one person is like “Despite the troubles that befell his homeland and near constant criticism of the court King Blorbo remained strong in the face of adversity” and the other one is like “after letting his people carry the brunt of his cringefail decisions Blorbo the Shitface refused to listen to any reason and continued to be a warmongering piece of shit. Also he was ugly.”

Okay, just got to the end of Netflix Ronja.

It's so gorgeous and I'm full of joy. The camera panning over breathtaking landscapes in between every scene, to the point of it being the third main character 🙌

Score : delivers!

Liking the wardrobe choices intensely. First of all: medievalish fiction in madder red and birchleaf yellow and oak bark and walnut brown instead of heaps of black leather ? Fabulous. I don't really mind that it's three centuries at once in the town (torn on the Feminist Armour™, but on the other hand I would absolutely wear that armour so I can't really blame them) because I'm just happy that colour is back on the menu.

Also here for additional Mattis content. 😁 That people somehow object to being relieved of their coin is a mystery with that motivational they're getting 😁😁😁 Love him!

Accents that aren't from Stockholm is another win for the home team 🙌

I tolerate the town plot, which is the weaker part of the show, and a bit of a waste of Pernilla August so far.

The creatures are decent. Though I'm concerned that unless someone dies on screen, did they actually die?

Naked manbutt snowbath is in season.

All I'm asking for is that you sing just one song in the second half of the series, pretty please.

currently watching that new Ronja Robberdaughter show on Netflix and wondering if we're gonna get to see all the guys bathing naked in the snow like we got to in the book

Yes we will 😁

In the very last episode of part one.
