Book Hobbits vs Film Hobbits

Book Frodo: linguistics nerd, hoards books, thinks he is very smart, acts chill but is actually stressed out 100% of the time, will infodump at you about elvish poetry

Film Frodo: Some kind of hipster, probably has anxiety, Elijah Wood’s Beautiful Blue Eyes, has bruises he doesn’t remember getting bcos he’s a clumsy fuck, too good for this sinful (middle) earth

Book Sam: cries when overwhelmed, writes poetry (but is too embarrassed to show it to anyone), Soft ™, drinks beer directly out of the tap, made of feelings and determination, basically a humanoid golden retriever

Film Sam: winner of world’s biggest Dad Friend award, smacks orcs w a frying pan, loves bacon, has accidentally punched self in face at least once,  (ง •̀_•́)ง

Book Merry: acts like a jaded elderly man even though he’s the hobbit equivalent of like 22, fantasises about being a Brave Knight so he can protect his friends, Brandybuck Pride!!, loves pipeweed to a near sexual degree

Film Merry: definitely a stoner, steals vegetables, says ‘fight me’ to people twice his size, Sarcasm is his primary weapon, can eat his own weight in ham

Book Pippin: baby bi, Smol, has 0 impulse control, calls everyone ‘fellow’, does not listen when people talk to him because he is thinking about sandwiches

Film Pippin: literally the dumbest hobbit alive

✨The language learning tip you have not heard (works for all written languages)

The tip: Copy down (entire) passages of text

Why it works: You get WRITING SKILLS since you are writing down every word. You become familiar with the spelling, grammar, different writing styles, script (if you are unfamiliar with it), etc. You get READING SKILLS because obviously you are reading, exposed to the written text in context. You can even incorporate SPEAKING and LISTENING SKILLS by listen to the audio format (you can try google translate audio if you find nothing else) and/or read it aloud to yourself. Since you are limited by the speed of your writing, you will pay more attention to pronunciation. *Also, everyone knows you retain more information when you write by hand.*

How to:

1. Select a text. Make sure it is appropriate to your level and desired new vocabulary set. If I want to know more political vocabulary, I will read a news article. But for colloquial language/slang, I will read a YA novel.

(Btw you can find tons of texts for novels online if you search: “title name” + pdf)

2. Get a paper and writing utensil (you can dedicate a notebook to this if you want).

3. Don’t stop until the text is done or your hand hurts

4. Limit looking up vocabulary. If the text is more challenging for you, allow yourself to look up about one word per paragraph. If it is at your level, then wait to the end of the session to open the dictionary. Chances are, you’ll figure out the word’s meaning a few lines later.

4. Go back to the text later to review and/or make vocabulary lists from what you learned (flashcards like anki or memrise would be great especially if you put the sentence on one side with the word indicated and a representative picture on the other side

Ex. Side one: I planted a *rose* today

Side two: picture of a rose in a pot)

**btw I don’t know if this is an “undiscovered” method. I used this to learn spelling and writing structures in my native language when I was little. I would even put the writing right in my picture books**

HP fandom: Tumblr vs Chumps

How Non-Tumblr Users (aka chumps) See The Houses:

Ravenclaw: That’s the smart house right? The quiet nerds. Smart and pretentious, no one cares about them. Always reading books, and uhhhh Cho and Luna, right?

Slytherin: Evil Death Eaters. Cruel bastards, hope you all choke on Voldemort’s ass. You’re all a bunch of little Draco Malfoy’s, ew worst house. No wonder everyone hates you. Regulus Black who??

Gryffindor: OMG GRYFFINDOR IS FAMMM. Slay that dark evil shit. Best house ever, lol so brave. So glad that irrelevant quiz sorted me into Gryffindor (especially since I made such an effort to pick the corresponding answers lmao) Ya it’s lit

Hufflepuff: The potatoes of the fandom. Pushovers who live in the kitchen. Wear yellow or something…They uhhh they like plants? Oh and poor Cedric Diggory haha yeah.

How Tumblr Users See The Houses:

Ravenclaw: Lives are a disorganized mess, but hey did you know these hundred facts about the marsupials in Australia? Fandom trash, they waste time on Tumblr and Netflix. Haven’t left the house in a month. Less about doing well in school and more about their love for learning. Sarcasm for days and even more wit. ROWENA RAVENCLAW BITCHES, WE HAVE A TOWER TOO, AND WE DEMAND A STORY FOR OURSELVES

Slytherin: Kings and Queens of Tumblr. The evilest they’ve ever been is when they didn’t reblog that picture of a kitten and puppy cuddling. Total Smartasses. Innocent, but don’t let that fool you because they can and will ruin your life. They’re everywhere. Completely annihilated the idea that they’re the “bad” house. If they had a Knut for every aesthetic post, they’d have more dough than Gringotts. Innuendos are their forte. Drarry shippers that will rip your head off. #REGULUSBLACKISAGODDAMNHERO pass it on. Hiss hiss motherf*ckers.

Gryffindor: They’re chill and out there somewhere, but they aren’t the stars of the show. Not many of them on Tumblr, but still part of the HP fam. Scared of spiders and the dark lmao.

Hufflepuff: LISTEN UP BITCH, THIS POTATO WILL /FRY YOU/. Don’t mess with them, because they’ve had enough of your shit. They’re fierce, they’re loyal, and they’re hardworking. They will f*ck you up if you even SUGGEST that they’re lame. Helga accepted everyone left over, because the rest of the founders are assholes. RIP Cedric Diggory and here’s a list of reasons why he deserved more

Less than Angelic drabble 1

So I’m starting a story that I’ll be posting on my ff.net account. Here’s the intro/prologue I’m starting with. Give me some feedback anyone..?

Every angel in heaven and on earth felt it when a soul was taken from hell. Angels especially took notice when it was a soul as infamous as Dean Winchester’s. The shockwave shook the earth, sending ripples of power around all corners. A few hundred miles out near the middle of the Indian Ocean, the ripples caused some slight waves in the previously still waters, disturbing a small form that was floating peacefully. A pale head with dark hair plastered to the sides of a decidedly feminine face lifted slightly and turned towards the West where the power originated. Slightly chapped pink lips curled into a smile before relaxing the muscles in her neck and allowing the water to once again take charge of her body. 

‘What are you up to now Father..?’ her voice broke the silence as her eyelids fell shut, not bothering to look for an answer when she knew she wouldn’t receive one. The thought of investigating what was happening on the opposite side of the world crossed her mind, but in that moment, she was far to content with the waters around her to make the journey.

It was beautiful. The way each organism below and above her went through their short existence in perfect harmony. Even with her eyes closed, she could sense the life energy of everything around her. She could read each pulse every living thing gave off with every motion it went through. The algae turning the sun’s pure energy into usable life, the small multitude of organisms most no larger than the nail on her smallest finger eating the algae, the fish in turn...

Her contentment and awareness was interrupted once more by another ripple of what could only be holy energy. This time the thin lines of hair above her eyes furrowed in confusion. As her eyes opened once more she realized in her appreciation of the life around her time had once again slipped away. Day had turned to night and was approaching morning once more. With the rising sun she was painfully aware of a lower angel attempting to speak in his true form on the mortal plane. The enochian language rang like the bells humans often chimed in their churches in her mind, even from such a far distance she had no problem understanding the message.

        Dean Winchester was back and Heaven had a mission for him.

Perhaps it was time to leave the wonders of the ocean behind, for a time. It had been centuries since she had last walked among her Father’s creations. It sounded like things were about to change, it would be a pity to miss anything. With a splash and a flutter of feathers, she was gone once more.

Snippet 1

I’m writing a fanfiction (on FF.net) and to keep myself motivated (and work out some plot bunnies) I’ll be posting snippets! If anyone wants the link for my FF work, let me know. Also I’m posting this from my phone while bored at work, so pardon any weird spacing issues.

Lusca Rowle was without a doubt the epitome of a Slytherin. Both her mother and father came from one of the sacred 28 pure bloodlines. Her mother gifted her with blue eyes, delicate narrow features, and all the cunning cruelty aristocratic women needed. From her father she took her black wavy hair, pale skin, and thirst for knowledge.

Lusca was the Slytherin Queen, with most taking her word for law. The only thorn in her side was Alabaxus Malfoy. Alabaxus was a year below her, but was infamous for his family’s stance on pure blood. He thought he was above anyone and everyone. Unfortunately though, Alabaxus had it in his greedy little mind that he would one day wed Lusca. Arraigned marriages weren’t so uncommon after all, but she loathed the very ground Malfoy stood on.

As such, she often did her best to get in his way. When Malfoy had a test coming up, his ink wells would somehow be replaced with disappearing ink rendering his notes useless. When Malfoy set his cruelty upon another student, Lusca was never far away to turn the bullying around onto Alabaxus or his goons. When all of his textbooks were suddenly shredded, Lusca just so happened to be waiting in the common room with a handful of shredded paper confetti.
