Since I have a handful of new followers...

Hi. I’m Lena. I’m a terrible art goblin, and this is my predominantly-fandom blog where I reblog assorted content relevant to my interests, and post occasional plot ideas, thoughts and art. And then also sometimes ramble about hiking.

My art tag is #Lena’s Art Thing - I post a mix of polished finished work and really dumb doodles.

My hiking tag is #Lena hikes

Current fannish things I’m into these days:

  • Trigun
  • My Hero Academia (tagged as #bnha)
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender

Plus a smattering of Marvel, Critical Role, Good Omens, Arcane, Fullmetal Alchemist, Dragon Age, the Magnus Archives, and assorted other fandoms. I also like art, nature photography, D&D, and tallships.

I am also on:

Thanks for stopping by, check out My About Page for more deets, and feel welcome to drop me a line if you have questions, wanna nerd out about our shared favs, or have a cute picture of your dog you’re willing to share.

I’ve been on tumblr for almost 13 years and I refuse to know what homestuck is about

The thing that amazes me is that I've been on tumblr for ages and dashboard osmosis has conveyed absolutely nothing to me about Homestuck whatsoever.

There are whole episodes of Supernatural that I've seen in their entirety through gifsets. I don't even know what sort of a thing Homestuck is or where I would find it. I know less about what happens in Homestuck, which presumably actually exists, than what happens in Goncharov, which doesn't.

I spend hours every day on tumblr. I don't know how this is possible.

In another universe, Sam Reich is part of Batman's rogues' gallery.

Him and the chocolate guy.

Nightwing: "...but why is it made of chocolate?"

Amaury Guichon aka Chocolate Guy, incredulous: "It is a bombe au chocolat, what else should it be made of?"

Sam Reich, popping around a corner, delight in his voice:"I have a better question: HOW DID YOU MAKE A BOMB FROM CHOCOLATE!?"

"WTF where did you come from?"

Reich, with manic glee: "Me? I've been here the whole time! :D"

Batman swings in, punching them both.

What do you think @thebibliosphere? Is there something here?

"What is this?" the kidnapped socialite demands, rocking uselessly in the chair they're tied to in the abandoned confectionary factory, "What do you think you're doing?"

"Ah, mon petit chou pourri, isn't it obvious?" Amaury Guichon asks, standing over a bubbling vat that smells sickeningly sweet. His smile takes on a sinister gleam. "It's death by chocolate."

The sound of Nightwing slow clapping from the rafters is heard.

Meanwhile, the League of Assassins is taking a vote over WhatsApp to eliminate Sam Reich because they're worried he'll take over if he gets bored enough.

"Hang on, I know a guy," the Riddler says.

I feel like people don't understand what fetishization really means & it has a lot of well intentioned lefty types like afraid of being attracted to people

Like you're allowed to be attracted to marginalized people lol ... you're allowed actively think certain traits they have are beautiful. You can even think they're hot. This isn't inherently objectifying. As long as you're treating them like people it's fine. You don't have to like, pretend you don't know what somebody looks like lest your attraction be Problematic

Remember: sexual attraction in itself is morally neutral. And my crazy take is that if you're respectful about it it's actually cool and good to find beauty in different kinds of people & being horny about it doesn't negate that. Peace and love on planet earth

The Stampede Nico and Trimax Tesla parallels are actually worst and more blatant that I originally thought omg..

*folds hands under chin* Please do continue

OKAY SO,

I’ve mentioned it a few time before but I think there’s a lot of parallels drawn between Tessla and Nicholas. They’re both the children of blessings of their respective kind. They’re both older siblings who have been taken as children to be experimented on in the name of science and of furthering human kind. I even joked about how if ya combine their name it forms the name of Nikola Tesla. Okay cool, whatever.

NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT STAMPEDE NICHOLAS.

While it's more subtle in Trimax, in Stampede, Tessla is very much a ghost hovering over Wolfwood shoulders the entire time. From the symbol of the Eye of Micheal, the Eye of Tessla encrusted in every nook of his home, to the goons taking him away, to the Very. Exact. Same. Experiments.

Everything they did to Tessla, they did to Wolfwood. Maybe they even used what they gathered on Tessla for those very experiments. The difference is HE survived it. He’s Knives revenge on humanity.

And yet it. Was. Not. Enough. For. Knives.

Isn’t it terrible how everything started from all the cruelty Tessla endured at the hands of humanity, and despite going through the exact same cruelty at the hand of Knives goons, of Conrad,

Isn’t it incredible how it’s Wolfwood who chose to stop the cycle of violence to save his brother? Something Knives was incapable of?

I AM GOING INSANE.

My Dragon Age Inquisition character card embroideries all together! Each is 11.5x19.5 cm. Dorian took 73 hours, Cassandra took 89 hours, and Sera took 75 hours.

I wonder which character I'll do next...

-

[Image descriptions: Embroidered versions of the Dorian, Cassandra and Sera character selection card from Dragon Age Inquisition.

Dorian holds a book under his left arm while casting magic with his right. There are white glyphs in the air and a white snake running under his cloak and under his arm.

Cassandra sits atop a war horse with Inquisition soldiers behind her. She wears black armour with a gold-trimmed cloak, and the Seeker flag and he cloak stream behind her.

Sera stands atop a slanted tree trunk with her bow held suggestively between her legs, looking at the Skyhold tower in the distance, where the tiny figure of the inquisitor is present in the window. Mountains and turrets make up the background behind her.]

by talos this can’t be happening is a mandela effect because the actual phrase is by the gods this can’t be happening and i’ve never heard anyone say the former in game

by talos this can’t be happening

the phrase by talos this can’t be happening is actually from a rupaul roleplay blog who left their husband in a cage with no food and water for a few weeks and the husband died sorry to be the spoil sport but it does have an origin and it is a very tumblr origin in nature

“Lucille (Jessica Chastain) is actually part of the house. They’re connected. The house is history, it’s the past, it’s her childhood, it’s everything. And she cannot separate that. Her wardrobe has pieces of architecture of the house embroidered in lace,” Del Toro said. “We very deliberately made her the same color as the walls. The walls are the same color as her eyes. We wanted to make them have the color of the house.”

most important thing to remember about being a woman is if youre married you have to go under the covers with your husband and laugh cutely and play wrestle so when you die to progress the narrative he can remember it in slow motion montages

in this world we all have our roles
