“ Gilly, he called me. For the gillyflower.” “That’s pretty.” He remembered Sansa telling him once that he should say that whenever a lady told him her name. He could not help the girl, but perhaps the courtesy would please her. ” — Jon Snow, A Clash of Kings

Something I find incredibly cool is that they’ve found neandertal bone tools made from polished rib bones, and they couldn’t figure out what they were for for the life of them. 

Until, of course, they showed it to a traditional leatherworker and she took one look at it and said “Oh yeah sure that’s a leather burnisher, you use it to close the pores of leather and work oil into the hide to make it waterproof. Mine looks just the same.” 

“Wait you’re still using the exact same fucking thing 50,000 years later???”

“Well, yeah. We’ve tried other things. Metal scratches up and damages the hide. Wood splinters and wears out. Bone lasts forever and gives the best polish. There are new, cheaper plastic ones, but they crack and break after a couple years. A bone polisher is nearly indestructible, and only gets better with age. The more you use a bone polisher the better it works.”

It’s just. 

50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job.

my favorite scene in the hobbit is when bilbo has to save the dwarves from the spiders and the only thing he can think of to do is to shout very rude things at them to distract them because 1. it shows that bilbo, having been raised in upper-class suburbia, thinks that the spiders will be super offended by his lack of manners enough to chase him 2. it shows that spiders are super offended by his lack of manners and 3. in modern day, it’s the equivalent of shouting ‘FUCKFACE’ at man-eating monsters

I've been looking for the footage of this gif of intense looking Aidan and Dean. I knew that I had seen it before. I found it in my (almost as big as the Lonely Mountain) mountain of The Hobbit videos. It's from Tauriel - Daughter of the forest - behind the scenes video.

Peter: what do we think about this kiss moment

Evangeline: Have we earned the kiss. I don't know if we earned the kiss

Aidan: I think I earned it

LOL

I just wanted to share the Instagram announcement, because of the bit at the end.

Eric Carle’s Instagram is full of art, if you want to check that out. Here’s one I thought was nice.
