Once Upon a Time, There Was… 1. A child of a man and the principle of fate, and 3. deciding, “In my life, I shall only experience every other event,” 5. He too slept with a principle of fate. 7. And he had a son named Rival. 9. He saw that the child was beautiful, and loved him, but 11. A servant took Rival in the dead of night and carried him away. 13. In a distant place, unknowing of his father, Rival grew to a youth. 15. He learned the art of the discus. 17. He found himself in his father’s city on the day of a discus match. 19. And his father looked down from the stands. And quite by accident, 21. The father’s eyes met his son’s. “You,” he said. “You are my blood.” 23. And Rival became his heir, 25. And if time is not circular, then here the story ends. ** 2. If time is circular, he took the name Successor, 4. redefining time so that every other event flowed in sequence. 6. Fate grew pregnant with Successor’s child 8. And fate prophesied that this child, his Rival, would kill him. 10. Successor ordered his son slain, so his son fled— 12. Weeping bitter tears. 14. In a distant place, where his father could not find him, his Rival grew into a man. 16. When he was strong, his Rival set out in search of Successor’s home. 18. He took up a great stone disc. 20. He hurled it at his father’s head. 22. And the stone struck Successor dead. 24. And if time is circular, then the one man is the other—

Seriously, though, the French LOVED Edgar Allan Poe, thanks in particular to Jules Verne.

He even wrote a sequel to Poe’s only novel, and numerous essays about how great an author Poe was.

By all accounts, Poe (who lived a penniless life in the US) really *was* baffled by all of this.

Whoop! Finished the refs for Asar’s two outfits ^^

The main outfit is heavily based off of the clothing found in Tutankhamen’s wardrobe, but given a modern “twist.”

His second outfit is much more contemporary, made up of a light linen shirt with dress pants and shoes

I wish I knew the exact time and date that harry told snape ‘there’s no need to call me sir professor’ so that I could take a moment of silence to remember the moment each year

Judging from the context of the chapter…

We know that it’s September 2nd. I’d put it between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. (They have breakfast and then a free period. They have Snape’s class before their break, which was before their lunch.)

But in the UK first period typically only starts at 9 AM. So free period from around 9-10 AM and Snapes class from 10-11 AM I’d say.

Okay so 10am-11am every September 2nd is now an hour dedicated to remembering the most glorious piece of dialogue ever spoken by a fictional character

ok this just appeared on my blog with ample time for you all to prepare because apparently I stumbled across it months ago, and scheduled it to post on september first. executive function TRIUMPH!!!!!!!

Worth noting that tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of the greatest burn in history

Happy Riza appreciation day:D So I’ve heard about Riza day a couple of months back and decided to draw a fashion illustration/fanart with my own drawing style and original dress design (inspired by Riza’s LBD in the official artwork) I’ll be making irl soon enough:) -Tbh I also had a design in mind for Roy and they would have been drawn together but I suck at drawing guys:/

Dropping this for extra sparkles and appeal because why not? :p looks better under lighting and an angle

THE LIST OF THINGS NINTENDO PREDATES INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:

THE SHERLOCK HOLMES FRANCHISE

UNITED STATES PRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISHENHOWER’S BIRTH

THE NOVEL “DRACULA”

THE NOVELS “THE TIME MACHINE” AND “WAR OF THE WORLDS” BY H.G. WELLS

THE FIRST MODERN OLYMPIC GAMES

THE DISCOVERY OF HELIUM ON EARTH

… Okay. I believe you. But like… how?

NINTENDO WAS FOUNDED IN 1889 AS A CARD GAME MANUFACTURER AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS HAPPENED IN 1890 OR LATER

WHAT THE FUCK I THOUGHT DRACULA WAS EARLIER WHAT THE FUCK

YOU COULD WRITE A DRACULA FANFIC WHERE DRACULA TRAVELS TO JAPAN AND BUYS A PACK OF NINTENDO BRAND PLAYING CARDS AND IT WOULD BE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE. SAME DEAL FOR SHERLOCK HOLMES.

No no no no no!

Don’t write fanfic!

Those things are in the public domain!

You can legally write, publish, and sell a Dracula book where Dracula travels to Japan and buys a pack of Nintendo brand playing cards!

Same deal for Sherlock Holmes!

what if you write a book where dracula and sherlock holmes travel to japan at the same time and reach for the last pack of nintendo brand playing cards that they both wanted
