Every time I set a timer to limit my social media use, and then I turn the timer off to keep being on social media anyway, I think of this:

I’m so attached to the headcanon that Nori never really learned how to read. It just makes sm sense if we go with the idea that he was born on the road between Erebor and Ered Luin. Life would’ve been purely about survival atp and they probably wouldn’t have had the resources to teach him. By the time things had settled down a bit he had already become a rowdy kid stealing to try and support his family, and reading just wasn’t on his priority list. It’s not the sort of skill you need to pick a pocket, yanno? So he just never learned.

I don’t think it’s something many of the company know about either. His brothers do, of course. Dwalin, if you’re a Nwalin head like me. Maybe Bofur. And eventually, because of this scene specifically:

I think he opens up to Glóin about it during the quest. I like to think that it’s something they eventually work on together. Glóin is a dad, he’s taught this before, and Nori would rather learn from a friend/acquaintance on the down-low than ask either of his brothers for help (He knows Dori still feels guilty about never teaching him, and he’ll be damned before he asks something like that of Ori [also Ori being a scribe is kind of intimidating ngl]) Plus I think Glóin would be good at being supportive without being condescending. Nori doesn’t want pity and Glóin isn’t going to give it to him. He will however be the best hype man. Clap-you-on-the-back-so-hard-it-knocks-the-breath-out and yelling praise in his genuinely proud dad voice kind of hype man.

Idk. I kind of lost my train of thought here but. Yeah. Nori learning to read later in life is special to me and you can pry the headcanon out of my cold dead hands

The Oatmeal Incident (Part 1) - Gator Days

[quatari]

my mum has severe knee problems and needs a replacement. Today she was told she's too fat to be operated on and the knee specialist suggested she gets a gastric band - which also involves surgery. So my mum was like first of all you didn't read my file because it explains that I'm not fat because I eat too much second of all you said it's impossible for me to get surgery and then suggested I get a surgery about it? He then asked her her weight and height, didn't believe her answer, and made her prove it to him because she "looks fatter than that". So she was like so you also just entirely based this on looks instead of actual numbers?

idk if theres like canon pmmm lore abt it somewhere in an interview madokaheads lmk but i like to think their magical girl forms as being manifestions of their idealised selves while also reflecting certain facets of their psych. which could explain impracticality in battle attire like idk. homuras stiletto heels. sorry i know i knoww its magic its the genre shes a support not dps char their bodies feel less pain re their soul gems etc etc but whenever i watched homuras magical girl training montage i just thought abt how much it must hurt running on those lmao that being said id like to think their magical girl forms Can change like with shifting values or convictions but usually not very noticeably and only with small differences when they do due to their short lifespans. id imagine their forms just becoming dimmer/desaturated maybe with minisculely corrupted design elements like slightly warped motifs/off pattern details before they fall into despair to reflect disillusionment in the ideals and beliefs that manifested them originally. or maybe missing details to show how they dont remember what theyr fighting for. but id imagine them to look just slightly off like theyr barely holding it together before they burst and hatch into witches (itd be very cool to think of rare instances where magical girls hav complete upheavals in their belief systems and narrowly avoid becoming witches to manifest completely different forms instead. still itd just an intermittent form before the inevitable) but in homuras case since shes been a magical girl for around 100 loops i wanted to design a form that could reflect her psych after repeating a decade of adolescent trauma taking aspects of her original manifestation and fracturing, repeating, layering them to the point where it looks like its about to collapse in on itself before crystalising. she has much longer hair to convey how subconsciously she feels like she should be aging. longer sleeves that swallow her hands like clothes she shouldv grown into by now. two bows, the black one of her original length to represent the withered innocence of her wish and the shadow of her despair while its strangled by the bow of her original purple that stubbornly sits on top and stretches past it. added fingerless tactical gloves for her significantly accumulated knowledge in mechanical and explosive weaponry. i wanted to make her outfit giv off more of a witchy vibe too. shrug initially i drew her 1st version with nothing changed from her canon design besides braiding her 2 side bangs and i drew the wider heel on her 10th loop version but i rly wanted to do the diamond heel for her final one and the progression of her heel becoming sharper just made more visual sense if i switched it lol oh also i liked drawing her bangs shadowing so much of her eyes but i thought itd b fun to draw more of her eyes showing to symbolise how she metaphorically can see more clearly now. nothing about her physical non magical girl form changed but i think if homura can use her time magic to heal her eyes she can also use it to idk freeze her hair in a certain position so it doesnt get in the way instead of a haircut ghjfgdfgd anyway its fun for me to imagine her not noticing with how focused she is on saving madoka until one day she sees her reflection and is taken aback at how unrecognisable shes become to herself even while her actual body remains unchanged

The best use of magic in the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit movies is whenever Gandalf uses it to make his voice really loud to win an argument because I would do the same thing.

obviously all mental shit is irrational and stupid but adhd paralysis. come on. like “I want to do ten different things at once and I care equally about all of them and therefore can’t decide which one has to be done first so I’ll just sit here and waste all of my energy trying to choose between them until ultimately the day is over and I’ve done nothing and am also no closer to figuring out what to do next than I was at the beginning of the day” are you kidding me

i feel like the knowledge that there are some medical databases with free-to-use 3D scans of various human organs available for 3D printing would have drastically reduced tumblrs amount of bone stealing scandals. plus you can make ones that glow in the dark.

look at my glow in the dark humerus boy

so it turns out that time actually does go by faster as you get older. just like how adults told me it would when i was younger. pisses me off

Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.
