Dad's obsessions.

If anyone has ever wondered what it's like to live with an octogenarian German man who has undiagnosed ADHD, have a gander at my dad's 2 current obsessions: sending his cousin in Florida a Jackalope postcard and me getting a new car. And the obsession with me getting a new car has now gotten to the point where he's leaving me used car catalogues to peruse, even though my mom & I have told him that I'm waiting until I've got a job before I get a new car.

cemetery of laeken, brussels.

the story of a marble worker evrard flignot who devastated by the death of his wife built a mausoleum for her. at first look inside, there is a mourner reaching out to an empty wall. but, once a year, on the day of the summer solstice, the sun draws a light that recalls this love for almost a century.

Making a post for @abdulrahman-family, who does not have very much in the way of donations!

If you have a bit of money to give, I ask that you offer a bit of monetary assistance to this Gaza fundraiser that has asked for my help in making this post. They have only reached 7% of their goal, and the lives of 6 children in addition to others are at stake, and all of them deserve to live.

If you cannot spare anything at all, sharing this post will help because it might reach someone who IS able to donate instead! I will now share his message from him to you.

Hello, I'm Abdul Rahman, a 23-year-old young man from Gaza. I'm writing to you today with a broken heart, given the difficult circumstances we're living in. In this brutal war, I lost my home and everything I own, and most importantly, I lost my dear brother, who was my support and my lifeline. 💔

Now, I find myself in an unbearable situation, supporting my family during this harsh ordeal. Days and nights pass by, and we can't find anything to eat. **We're living in hunger, and we don't even have flour. A bag of flour costs $570!** Where can I get that amount? I have young siblings who are starving, and I can't bear to see them suffer.

**My family and I need your help.** To meet our needs and be able to leave the Gaza Strip and seek safety. Every bit of help, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in our lives.

Please open your hearts and be a part of our story. 💔

fandom is so weird you never know how old anyone is but you just kinda assume most of them are around your age until proven otherwise and then one day someone is talking about their 9 year old kid on your dash and another person is saying they just finished 10th grade. wild.

I think Leverage has a really neat take on the concept of revenge.

Because a lot of times, revenge gets framed as this inherently immoral act, like it doesn't matter how evil the person you want revenge on is, it doesn't matter that stopping them is a net positive for the world, revenge is just bad and wanting it makes you bad.

But I think that a lot of the problems with most revenge narratives come from the fact that the person/people seeking revenge put too much importance on getting revenge, but there's not enough catharsis in the actual act of taking revenge. They end up left with a whole lot of left-over righteous anger, and no acceptable targets left to vent it on. That way lies the bloodline ending feuds of greek tragedy and the like.

But Leverage says "No, actually you're right, that guy is absolutely terrible, he does need to be stopped and his victims should be awarded the catharsis of revenge." But then, instead of taking the easy way out of having Hardison siphon all the money out of their accounts, or sending Elliot over to their house with a baseball bat, they complicate the revenge plot. Instead of walking the easier path of the quick and unsatisfying revenge, they insist on poetic justice and dramatic irony and the complete and utter, very public destruction of the worst people in the world.

That's why I think Leverage feels different to, say, The Count of Monte Cristo, or other revenge-centric stories. They go the extra mile to tailor their revenge to the target, and give them Exactly what they deserve.

This gif

I didn't make it, but it keeps catching my eye because LOOK

The wings perfectly line up with Hiccup

Toothless is going to fly again because of Hiccup, yes, but this is Hiccup's first flight. Unknowingly, he's spreading his wings too.

This moment catapults a whole new direction for Hiccup's life, and he gets to fly because he made it so Toothless could too.
