You're in a meaningless hypothetical competition and your opponent comes out with this, wyd?

wwhat would nietzche make of ghosting people on tinder. what would hypatia of alexandria make of gamergate. whats laozis take on bean dad

how would pope clement I come to terms with live action one piece?

The lyrics "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know" hit differently in the age of climate change

Never experienced a White Christmas or even seen snow but, maybe with Climate Change, I'll get my chance!

Sorry I wasn't listening to you, I was thinking about the Duke of Wellington's personal 11-foot-tall statue of nude, totally jacked Napoleon.

Twitter thread! (and yes Kate Beaton's "Nemesis" comic comes up)

Oh my goooodddd, im crying at Napoleon basically hiding it in embarrassment only for it to be put on display in the main room of his enemy

Napoleon: ... nice statue imma just *throws it into the basement*

Duke of Wellington breaking into Napoleon's house: OH BOY LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND–

What I wanna know is why Wellington put that statue there. Like was it some kind of power play to show off how he vanquished Napoleon, or did he just think it was a really nice statue?

Every time someone brings this up, I have to be the one to tell them that the statue was a gift to Wellington from the Prince Regent, and it wasn't looted. The British government paid around £3000 for a giant naked statue of Napoleon. Wellington had to put it somewhere people would be able to see it, or he'd offend the Prince. Love that for him.

shoulda been a blackadder episode about this shit

@redscharlach is also on tumblr, for more wittiness and history.

The devil works hard, but the volunteers who run Ao3 work so much harder

Bilbo - It all started with a crazy loon who banged on my hole. Thorin - Which hole? Bilbo - GET OUT (I)(II)(III)(IV)(V)(VI)(VIII)(IX)(X)

hot singles with empty blogs in your area won't stop following you! you can't block them fast enough! it's too late! they have taken the bridge and the second hall. we have barred the gates, but cannot hold them for long. the ground shakes... drums. drums in the deep. we cannot get out. a shadow moves in the dark... we cannot get out. they are coming.

Headcanon: hobbit children are fascinated by Thorin and are far less intimidated by him than adult hobbits are; they tend to follow him around until he sits down and tells them stories and lets them climb all over him. 

It amuses Bilbo greatly.

The elves short hair bother me so much I made a meme about it. (An easy one. Probably somebody thought of it too ^^)
