Live theater in the His Dark Materials universe must be wild. Surely an actor's daemon also has lines to recite, so their daemon's form probably also factors into casting decisions. Maybe some plays have vague character descriptions for daemons, but I bet other plays have really specific or central daemon characters. And sure, big-budget theaters can afford to hire a separate actor with a particular daemon to stand backstage while their daemon plays its part onstage, but community theaters don't have those kinds of resources.

Like if you're casting for Julius Caesar, surely the real historical Caesar had a pretty iconic daemon, right? Are you going to cast an actor with a pigeon daemon as Caesar and just have everyone suspend their disbelief that it's Caesar's lioness, ἁμαρτία?

🧶 Cow hitch increase

Unlike all other single-stitch increases I know, this one is perfectly symmetrical. I’ve been seeing it a lot in my feed lately, so I thought I’d share it. Haven’t tried it yet in a project though.

It mimics the structure of a cow hitch knot - hence the name.

🎥 🧶 👀✨

knight who is constantly searching for a good and noble king to serve but cannot fucking find one for the life of him so he has to become the good and noble king himself.

I’m angry and apparently wrong

I work in a school primarily with a child who very visibly has a disability. Today, waiting for the elevator with him, another child who has THE SAME DISABILITY but in a less severe and therefore less visible way, was also waiting. An adult member of facilities asked the child with the invisible disability WHY he was using the elevator. The child answered “I have an elevator pass.” WHICH SHOULD HAVE ENDED THE CONVERSATION. Instead, the adult says “YOU have an elevator pass?” like he didn’t believe him. His supervisor was standing beside him, and she didn’t say anything. I ended up explaining to them that he has health reasons for using the elevator (after the child had already gone upstairs) because they clearly still didn’t believe him.  Somehow, I’m in the wrong thinking that a child with a disability, NO MATTER HOW VISIBLE IT IS, has a right to use the accommodations that have been given to him without being questioned. “Too many other kids use it when they don’t have to” THEN PUT A LOCK ON IT. I don’t understand why it doesn’t have one when every other school I’ve ever been in does. “It’s too much of a hassle.” So the eleven year old has to explain every time he meets an adult in the elevator that HE HAS A RIGHT TO BE THERE BECAUSE HE IS DISABLED?  It’s bullshit. But no one else is listening, so I’m just going to rant on here and try not to spend my entire weekend fuming.

My mom is in the hospital with COPD and pneumonia. My dad and I have been trading off sitting with her because my sister lives an hour away and my brother doesn’t handle crises involving his momma very well.

I typed most of this one handed, because my momma just told me that holding my hand helps her calm down.

It is the highest compliment she’s ever given me.

I’m getting ready to move 15 hours from where I currently live. I spent most of Tuesday afternoon going through clothes to decide what to keep, what was trash, and what I am going to donate.

Then I go to walmart.

Wonder woman shirts.

Three dollars.

I have six more shirts.

What the hell?

Random really fast post:

My mother is watching “Botched,” a schadenfreude show about people who have had failed plastic surgeries. A woman on the show had a double mastectomy. The surgeon performed “nipple banking,” which is surgically attaching your nipples to your lower abdomen so they’ll still be alive once your implants are ready to go.

Every time they show this woman with her nipples still where they’re supposed to be, they’re blurred out. 

Every time they show her without her nipples on her breasts, there’s no blurring at all.

When they show the HORROR SHOW that is her nipples attached right above her panty line, there’s no blurring at all.

What the hell?

I have been in small fandoms before. I have shipped rarepairs. 

Never have I ever experienced a lack of fandom such as the one I have encountered with Good Witch from Hallmark channel.

SOMEONE ELSE PLEASE ENJOY MY TERRIBLY CHEESY HILARITY OF A HALLMARK SHOW. :(

Is it soul-crushing to anyone else that after everything Diana goes through in Wonder Woman, she decides that men are both good and evil, and must choose which they will be

and twenty years later has to see men choose evil again in World War II?
