The haunting ancient Celtic carnyx being played for an audience. This is the sound Roman soldiers would have heard their Celtic enemies make.
#It'd be a no from me#Look if the emperor wants those people dealt with he can come do it himself#I'll take my chances in the colosseum with the lions#lions I understand that noise I do not

In recent years of Dr who the doctor generally doesn't use physical violence due to his moral scruples but in 60s who the doctor generally didn't use physical violence bcos he was delegating it to whichever handsome 21 year old boy he was toting around
#or your closest teenaged explosives expert#expert being used loosely#the Doctor trying (and failing) to teach her how to use timed fuses properly is life#Ace just wants things to go boom k?#She's not always particularly picky about what goes boom#AND YET the Doctor does not restrict her access to boom-making materials#Seven out here outsourcing an incredible amount of violence#classic who#doctor who

So apparently Tumblr ate my original post about this but:
A couple weeks ago I’m going to get lunch and as I open the fridge, my mother attempts to communicate to me that any chicken currently in the fridge is ok for people to eat, because the chicken that was intended for the dog to eat has been used up.
What she actually says is, “That’s human chicken.”
After taking a minute to process all horrible implications of the phrase “human chicken”, I decide to go a different route and hold the tupperware of chicken out to my sister, saying, “Behold, a man!”
This was evidently the wrong choice, as it meant I had to explain to my parents who Diogenes was, thereby cementing the incident in their minds and leading to me, just now, opening the fridge to see the following incredibly cursed image:

Reblog and put in the tags: In terms of controversy, discourse, infighting, ship wars, etc., which of the fandom’s you’ve been was the most stressful? Which was the most peaceful?
#most stressful was LotR after the movies came out#it was the early Aughts#and on the Pit of Voles#people were cray#looking back the number of 'Elrond's only daughter (not Arwen)' and#'Tenth Walker (not Bill the Pony)' fics#were hilarious#my personal favorite was the elf princess with the tie-dyed chain mail and the multicolor eyes#go off queen#baby writer me was less impressed but my 'give a damn' ability has dropped dramatically since then#the most peaceful is a tie between the Pulleyverse - everyone's so nice! And wants fic! All the fic!#and Untamed/MDZS - the comments I've gotten on my latest fic are so lovely! It is my happy place.

Lord, that would have made me so pissed if I'd been hit with that without knowing. I just don't know what whoever is doing this gets out of it. It's so dumb.
If one of these hits my fics I'm gonna link it and invite everyone to see because everyone should know this shit is fake.
hey uh new type of ao3 spam comment just dropped. (I know it's spam because the fic they left this comment on . doesn't have chapters. lmfao). Report this kinda comment as spam and don't take it personally it is literally recycled bullshit

I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD
