Christian. American. Heterosexual. Not going to say whether I'm a boy or a girl because I like having an air of mystery and I want to see what people will assume. I love Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Over the Garden Wall, Star Trek (TOS), Portal, Tron, and Marvel but I have lesser interests in Doctor Who, Star Wars, and Pokemon.
"All right. We're working on a little teleportation experiment. Now, this doesn't work with all skin types, so try to remember which skin is yours, and if it doesn't teleport along with you, we'll do what we can to sew you right back into it."
The Test Subject regretting every decision that led to this exact moment:
Reblog with the lies your parents told you growing up. I'll go first, my Mom told me that eating the crusts of my sandwich would make my hair curly.
putting “lying to kids is ok” on the table immediately looks bad. but theres nuance. because kids deserve to have as much context and respect as anyone else you live with. but also. telling them that leaving doors open will make ants carry away the entire house is necessary until their brains can quantify the heating&air bill
So, I'm not going to use the tags for this one because I feel this story requires the full context.
So, back when I thought I was going to be a Graphic Designer, one of the long-term assignments for one the pre-major Graphic Design classes was to create/refine a design that incorporated a) a sea creature, combined with b) an adjective. There were three adjectives in total, so everyone in the class ended up with three different designs. The first two adjectives - "Startled" and "Neutral" - were the same for everybody, but the third one was our own choice. The sea creature I chose was Shiho's seahorse, and the adjective I chose was "Luminous."
When I first joined Tumblr I wanted to pick an icon that was significant to me personally but that wasn't too identifying. I was happy with how the final version of my "Luminous Shiho's Seahorse" design turned out so I went with that.
hello I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. The anonymity of tumblr means that I associate my idea/image of you with your icon and sometimes I look at people’s icons and I’m like ‘hmmm….what is that and why?’
so pls reblog this and comment in the tags the meaning behind your icon and why you chose it. this is a social experiment. do it for science pls.
I feel like I've won a new Tumblr high achievement.
What if Hob had just given up asking for his stranger’s name right away and gone: “Fine, be that way, I’m going to name you… Dragoslav. Dear Dragoslav, let me tell you about chimneys —“
I'm fine. I'm completely fine. Not going through the five stages of grief because one of my favorite characters may have plunged to his death or anything, no sirree . . . I'm fiiine . . .
Both pairs of siblings embark on their magical journeys in a quest to ultimately return to where they came from.
Both journeys start on Halloween!!!
Both Greg and Saoirse run off on their own at least once when their older brothers aren't looking (Greg wanders off in "Schooltown Follies;" Saoirse swims down the Holy Well).
Wirt and Ben both face down frightening, powerful, legendary figures from stories (The Beast, Macha the Owl Witch) who are holding their siblings captive in a weakened state of partial transformation (Greg changing into an Edelwood tree, Saoirse being half-turned to stone).
Not to mention there's no good reason why selkies can't exist in the Unknown, and all I'm saying is that Greg and Saoirse would be INSTANT best friends.
Also, I'm sure Wirt would have appreciated having a leash for Greg on more than one occasion.
I'll add to this when I can think of more parallels . . .
when you realize how ben and saoirse parallel wirt and greg
go to this random coordinates generator and say in the tags how you would fare if you were dropped where it generates without warning. i’ll go first i’d be dropped in the middle of the fucking south atlantic ocean and perish
