The Folk of the Air series really didn't have to go as hard as it did with the poetic lines

“I have lied and I have betrayed and I have triumphed, if only there was someone to congratulate me.”

“Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It’s disgusting, and I can’t stop.”

“If I cannot be better then them, I will become so much worse.”

Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” “No, tell me.” “I cannot.”

“Kill him before he makes you love him.”

“Kiss me again, kiss me until I'm sick it.”

“He is even more horrifically beautiful than I was able to recall. They’re all beautiful, unless they’re hideous.”

“My sweet villain, my darling god.”

“I want to tell you so many lies.”

“Whatever I imagined then, now it is I who would beg and grovel for a kind word from your lips.”

“By you, I am forever undone.”

“My sweet nemesis.”

“It’s you I love, I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn’t have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours.”

It is just my dream about Acotar (I’ll be lying if I say I don’t want this fanfiction)

So, i can't say that i'm anty for Rhys. But i truly think that he is not the best choice for Feyre, sorry (Maybe i will write long post about it). Fandom prefer ignoring fact that Rhys is manipulator (even if he loves his wife). And its hard to understand because Feyre don't see it. She is young and inexperienced.

So, i think about what can happend with Feyre if she understand that Rhys control her. Not like Tamlin who used power, but by using brain and playing with emotions. Acotar could become a psychological story about unhealthy relationships and how the victim can get out of them and live happily.

Can you imagine situation...

Rhys and Feyre in Summer Court. They have plans to steal book from Tarquin. But when Feyre meets a young lord of summer, she sees kind, soft person with big dreams, not ambitions. Who wants equality. But he is naive and not that strong. She sees this not just in conversation, but in his mind.

In original book Feyre doubts that stealing is necessary, but do this anyway, because she is sure that Rhys is right. In this story Feyre doubts his words and remembers what happened under the mountain and Rhys' not very nice behavior.

So, she decides that she doesn't want to trick Tarquin. She wants to help him. Feyre and Tarquin have a long soulful dialogue about UTM, how broken they feel and don't have ideas what to do. And Tarquin says to Feyre that she can stay if she want. Not like lover, or weapon, or doll, but like his friend. Like person, who understand him. And Feyre agrees to this, because she knows, that he is not a lair.

Then there's a war, in which they and other courts lords win. I truly think, that Rhys helps him, because he wants to save his home and family and because he still love Feyre. They are still mates.

After war Feyre helps Tarquin to restore summer court, carry out social reforms and improve relations with other courts. Sometimes, Feyre and Tarquin fail, sometimes not. All Prythian follows their endeavors towards equality. And Feyre matures and becomes wiser.

Also, summer trio becomes her family. Slowly and gradually. Because Varian is very secretive and serious person and Cresseida is bitching around. But everything changes over time. So, we can see Varian who secretly gossips with Feyre about his feelings for Amren. And Cresseida who confesses to Feyre that she laughs at her brother's ideas about equality just because she is afraid that he will fail and it can broke him. And Tarquin just adores Feyre, he completely ceases to see in her a potential love interest, and admires her pictures, thoughts, qualities of character. She is his best friend, his dear sister.

My fav Eris becomes the lord and ally of the summer court. He is down to earth and calculating, so he gives them practical advices. And he also begins to introduce equality in his territory.

In the same time Feyre communicates with Rhys. Not only about politics, but about history, culture and art. And their relationship becomes deeper, more serious, and they look at real each other. Maybe they talk about how manipulative Rhys was and how he didnt notice that. He begins to change, but it takes time.

During a military campaign, Vlad the Impaler, the basis for Dracula, once pulled his troops out of a major engagement in a valley at dusk so that the sun was in their enemies’ eyes. Once they were over the hill, they set loose a bunch of rabid bats who flew away from the sun (towards the enemy) and attacked them, leading to significant infection in their ranks, and Vlad’s eventual victory. Because of how the bats appeared from where Vlad’s soldiers appeared to be at dusk, myth stated that the soldiers turned into bats at night, which is where the “Dracula can change into a bat” thing came from.

during the Ottoman Empire, the Sultan Ibrahim I had 280 of his concubines drowned in the ocean after ONE of them slept with another man.

The earths carbon levels fell by 700 million tons because Genghis Khan killed so many people

King James (the one known for revising the Bible) liked to watch women give birth. That’s where the “tradition” of women laying on their backs to give birth comes from.

Previous to that it was common for women to have chairs with holes in them and straw underneath, so they could sit on this special chair and let gravity help with the birthing process.

Spicy foods were thought to increase libido and cause children to masturbate. To prevent kids from touching themselves at night, a man named Kellogg invented the blandest combination of cereals, marketed it at kids, and called it Corn Flakes

At the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War, a small group of Union soldiers had run out of ammo against a large group of the Confederate Army. In a panic, the Union soldiers sprinted at them, screaming, with only bayonets drawn. The entire Confederate Army that was present turned and ran away in fear, not knowing that they had literally no ammunition.

When the Roman Emperor Caligula went to invade Britain he stood on the coast of Gaul with his army and suddenly declared war on Neptune, God of the Sea. He had his men collect sea shells from the shore as “spoils from the Ocean”.

Oh and he appointed his horse to the senate.

During the Austro-Prussian war of 1868, Liechtenstein sent over an army of 80 people, but ended up coming back with 81 people because they befriended a guy on the other side.

People refused to send art and sculptures to be displayed at the Chicago World’s Fair because of Chicago’s history with fire. They had to fireproof the Fine Arts building to get people to agree to loan them their art. A year after the fair closed most of the grounds were destroyed by fire but the Fine Arts building survived. It’s now the Museum of Science and Industry.

The carbon emissions thing from Ghenghis Khan is not the whole story. He also planted trees wherever he conquered land because he liked trees and thought they were important. He conquered enough to make an impact on the global climate.

Radu III, brother of Vlad III( Vlad the Impaler)  nearly killed Mehmed II, the future Sultan of the Ottoman’s, after Mehmed invited him up to his chambers. Radu, seemingly unaware that the offer was sexual in nature, was startled when Mehmed embraced and then tried to kiss him. Radu stabbed the prince in the leg, then ran and hid in a tree. They later became lovers, and maintained a relationship for the rest of their lives

Just googled the last one because holy shit that’s magnificent and seemed to good to be true, but not only did it actually happen, but I also learned that radu was known as “radu the beautiful”

fun date idea: stab him in the leg

Vlad: If you liked him, why did you stab him, for fuck sake?

Radu: I fucking panicked.

History was wild  folks

Jack Churchill, known as Mad Jack, was a British Officer during WW2. He loved hunting nazis, playing the bagpipes, and archery. He loved them so much that he did them all at the same time.

Churchill killed a nazi with a long bow in battle as well. Maybe his gun jammed, but more likely he did it because when you’re a badass you do badass shit.

He was captured multiple times and tossed in concentration camps. He escaped everytime. One of his escapes wasn’t so much an escape as just an exit. He just walked on out of there. Who the fuck going to stop him after all.

He snuck out off base one night in Italy with his claymore sword because I guess he couldn’t sleep and figured capturing 42 nazi officers with only his sword would be a good way to overcome insomnia. So he did that.

He so loved his sword that he is famous for saying no soldier is properly dressed for battle without one.

Oh - and he worked as a male model too.

This has been a rollercoaster

James Simpson, the guy who created chloroform, used in the birth of Queen Victoria’s 7th or 8th (depending on where you’re getting your info) child, only found it because he was trying to find new ways for him and his highbrow freinds to get high. They all took a whiff of it and passed out. His wife found him the morning after sleeping peacefully under the table.

A woman called Kutty Thathri brought about the destruction of the severe and repressive caste system of the Namboothiri Brahmins of Kerala by becoming a prostitute. She then named all the 65 people she had slept with (most of them Namboothiri Brahmins and influential people, including the King of Kochi), and brought “deep shame” upon them. She was then tortured by locking her in a chamber filled with rats and snakes. Plot twist - she escaped and married a European railway contractor and settled in neighbouring Tamil Nadu and converted to Catholicism. Her bold choice left behind a burning movement in Kerala which eventually destroyed the caste system and also raised women’s social standing.

In WWII when the germans were invading russia, they surrounded a russian tank factory. The germans couldnt invade this factory though, because they used all the half-built tanks as indoor and outdoor turrets. Not to mention they regularly made tanks, sent them out, waited for them to get damaged, dragged them back, fixed them, and repeated until the germans were forced out. This factory never once shut down.

white gays, stop saying that you don’t support Palestine because it’s illegal to be gay there challenge. First off, the fact that you think the solution to that is allowing the complete genocide of a group is disgusting, second off, Israel is not any better.

This is pinkwashing:

and when you look at Wikipedia, here is the first thing that pops up:

Israel literally has a reputation for blackmailing gays, which you would know if you looked passed yourselves for once in your lives. They are only viewed as pro gay because of marketing, not because of actual policies. In most places, gay marriage is not even recognized. Plus that does not stop homophobia within communities, that is just surface level shit.

Also, you are not the people being affected by those laws. You are not the people living in Palestine, you are so fucking privileged and guess what, homosexuality exists outside of the Western world!! There are gay Palestinians who are being killed in those bombings!! You are weaponizing someone’s human rights in order to make a point that “oh, the other side is better” and you look stupid.

And guess what, homophobia there is a direct result of western colonization!! Who would have thought, I don’t understand why this does not fucking click for some of you, countless countries did not give TWO SHITS about homosexuality and gender until the western world invaded, colonized, occupied, etc. Not to mention, why the fuck would you think a country having homophobic policies is justification for genocide?? Are you fucking kidding me??

In order for countries/states/etc to work on social laws, they have to stabilize (in a very broad sense) first. This has been going on since 1948, it’s unlikely that they would be able to push for these laws that many stabilized countries do not even have!! Gay marriage in the US wasn’t legalized until 2015, and Stonewall was 1969, this shit isn’t ancient history, it’s very recent. Get your head out of your ass.

Oh and lastly, STOP using this as an excuse to be antisemitic. If that is your goal, you don’t actually care about what’s happening in Palestine, you are just a bigot.

I just want to elaborate on the “Israel literally has a reputation for blackmailing gays” point because it is so, so important that people realize just how barbaric Israel is:

Israel has complete and total control over every single aspect of Palestinian life. Our communications are monitored, there are spies and informants literally everywhere. Israel’s intelligence network is /vast/. As part of their data collection and absolute surveillance, they know very personal and private details about all Palestinians...including sexual orientations of Palestinians who desperately try to keep such info hidden.

Israel identifies Gay Palestinians and blackmails them by threatening to out them to their families and communities. Palestinians are forced into informing on their own friends and families or risk being outed to their communities.

It’s not uncommon for Palestinians put into this situation to commit suicide.

Tell me more about how Israel is a “safe haven” for gay people. Tell me more about how they’re the “most moral army”. Tell me more about how great and progressive Israel is.

I myself know of two people who have been approached with threats of blackmail, ushering both people to come out to their families to avoid being used by Israel...imagine how many others are out there who are incapable of telling their story.

so. FUN FACT

tumblr is apparently rolling out a beta for a new post editor that essentially makes it so there are no longer post “types” (text post, audio post, photo post, etc.), and instead all types of content are better integrated into a single post. pretty neat, right?

…until you read the fine print.

The maximum number of total content blocks allowed in a single post is 250.

i emailed support and asked whether each paragraph counts as a content block. i received this reply:

SO. each paragraph counts as a content block, and i’m only allowed 250 content blocks in one post. the solution provided was to reformat my fics by using shift+enter after every paragraph instead of simply enter. which is already unnecessarily annoying in of itself, but then you come to the second hurdle: 

The maximum character length of a single text block is 4096 characters.

so–what?? besides spending my time writing thousands upon thousands of words, i’m expected to copy-paste it and then reformat everything, counting every single one of those words to make sure they fit within the restrictions? or i’m supposed to chop my fics up into multiple parts, even when i don’t want to? how exactly are writers supposed to write on this platform?? as you all know, my style tends to run pretty dialogue-heavy, so i start new paragraphs (and, thus, content blocks!!!) pretty damn often. i did a quick check, and let it snow, at almost 19k, is 550 paragraphs. with this new system, i would be forced to upload it in three (3!!!!!) posts! even my shortest chapter of ego, at 8.8k, is 350 paragraphs, and i’d have to split it in two.

this is honestly a formatting nightmare as a writer, and this is a decision that is liable to drive content creators away from the site and change fandom culture as a whole. 

please. if you enjoy reading content on this site and want to continue enjoying content on this site, please don’t let tumblr make things harder for writers! since the tumblr team is supposedly eager to hear what everyone thinks, it would really help if you could message support and share your concern about the issue–maybe we can stop this disaster before it starts.

I know a lot of writeblrs will be affected by the post editor, so if you have the option to participate in the Beta, please reach out to the support team and give your feedback!

If you click on the question mark besides the [BETA] and the “Let us know” it’ll take you straight to the feedback form.

It’s really easy!

They’re actively looking for feedback and opinions, so if enough of us talk about how it’s not working, maybe we can get them to change it!

do this!!!!!! a 4,000 character limit is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT a lot. that’s ~14 tweets. which, on the standards of tumblr content, is NOT a lot. There are so many extremely useful, extremely informative posts that have been WAY longer than this; you see hundreds of posts a day that are longer than this.

We finally have an opportunity to tell them we don’t like something before they fuck it all up. TELL THEM.

I am SO happy with how Jotun Loki turned out! It was really nice to go back to playing with brushes and textures and letting my linework be looser again (and I must be improving, because the fur on this one took a lot less time than last I painted it! 😂)

Also definitely making a pair of horns for a Jotun Loki cosplay look now 👀
