“My interest in acting came from reading books, and my most satisfying parts have always been those that have come from novels. … Some people like working from a completely blank page so they can create something. That’s exciting as well but I’m less confident with that than if I’m given a really good starting point. I love working on a character who comes from a novel because not only have you got what’s in that text to work with but you can also look into the writer, and the more you find about that author the more you understand what it is you’re working on.”

It’s actually really funny how many cultures have fox spirits and how many mostly consider them Complete Assholes, whether actively malicious or just dickheads that trick people

You’ve got the Kitsune that can be anywhere from incomprehensibly evil and powerful to doting mothers and good wives, 

You’ve got the Huli Jing in China which were believed to be entirely female and needed male energy to survive, and did so by corrupting high-level politicians- and the Jiuweihu, the big girls that took to leading souls away from Dharma,

You’ve got the Gumiho in Korea, who just straight up eat people’s livers or steal their life force,

In Scandinavia, specifically Finland, fox spirits were believed to be the cause of Aurora Borealis, revontulet, the “fox fire”, as well as just usually messing with people, and then also the Brunnmigi for the Norse which poisoned water because fuck you,

The Celts also attributed them to be wily little bastards that existed to make fools of hunters and apparently that’s where the word “Shenanigan” came from, originally being sionnachuighim, “I play the fox” in irish gaelic,

In Europe you’ve got Reynard the asshole baron, 

and from what I’ve seen a lot of native american tribes also just consider them dicks on the level of coyotes 

it’s like every human that sees one of these

is just like “wow, what an asshole”, it’s great

I really think writing excessively brainy fanfiction for bad shows that don't deserve it is the noblest form of women's work.... This century's Bayeux tapestry....

HOT TIP!!!

You will drink more water if it tastes good. I’m dead serious. Throw some mint in there, throw some lemon or strawberry or a little flavor packet. Your brain likes things that taste good.

I sincerely apologize for everyone who followed me thinking I was a good and quality blog.

real people being partially closeted or ambiguous about their own sexuality while making Gay Art is not queerbaiting

Deism is the belief that a higher power created the world, but that God will not interfere with natural law or perform miracles, and that people should rely on logic and reason instead of religious traditions based on writings in a book. Famous deists from history include Napoleon Bonaparte, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson.

Here. Have kudos on that fanfic you wrote in your head while you were in the shower and never typed it out. When I recover from the brilliance of it, I’ll come back to leave a review.

I feel like this needs to be said because I keep seeing stuff like ‘if you rb from me too much i’ll block you’ in people’s bios.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REBLOG FROM ME AS MUCH AND AS OFTEN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU WANT!! My tagging system was developed specifically because I know what it’s like to have a hyperfixation and want to sift through every single post about that thing. I tag every post for that exact reason. You aren’t bothering me. The notifications don’t bother me. It’s all fine.

Ok quick question what’s the last book you read that couldn’t put down? Like not even what was your last fave book but what’s the last book you absolutely had to stay up finishing even though it meant you were dead tired the next day? In the replies or tags, whichever, I just haven’t hit on that feeling in like a year and want to know everyone’s
