It has come to my attention that some of you do not know the origin of Winnie the Pooh. This is quite frankly unacceptable, and I prescribe you to remedy it immediately by means of this brief history, narrated by the legendary Long John Baldry.

Well then I don't see why Hex can't have one. Also, why isn't this common knowledge?

Challenge #04421-L037: But Why Though?

They enter the galactic universities the first time. And the Alliance learns how brilliant, and how unorthodox, humans can be. -- Anon Guest

The concept of higher education is older than many might think. Basic learning covers the essentials everyone needs to know. Life skills, manners, standards of cleanliness and dress. As a civilisation gets more complicated, the basics expand.

So to do the levels of education.

Some use this to hold themselves above others. Hence the term "higher education'. A polity without class distinctions might use terms like, "specified education" but they rarely catch on.

so the idea here is that we act in accordance to our values instead of how we feel we should based on how people are treating you.

so like. we all know that the reason gansey was so intense about ronan graduating and adam moving out of his dad's house was because he knew he was going to die that year and wanted to make sure his friends were set without him right

I don’t think we’ve ever seen you draw knight of dawn before 🤔 what are your thoughts about him? Or take?

I've drawn him a couple of times, just really little/in the background. but I should draw him more, I love this guy a lot! I have many, many thoughts about him and the way he parallels Silver...and also I think it is extremely funny that his ghost is stuck in a ring. especially considering where that ring has been for the last 16-ish years.

Happy Homestuck day!

'Angel Sua' has eyes that interest me in the "damn,,, I see em" way and the "this must be another aspect of her religious themes" kind of way, I mean that only because her pupils are so big, I almost think it's meant to look similar to a biblical angel, they have eyes like that to signify their all-knowing awareness, I see it as a connection to Sua's inherently omniscient and mysterious nature

Gandalf said ‘do not offer me that’, Galadriel said ‘I would be a queen, great and terrible,’ but Elrond said ‘get that the fuck away from me’ and this is nonsensical.

The other keepers of the elven rings were most challenged by the One, why not Elrond? Is his struggle merely hidden? Is it his Maia blood? Is it simply his mixed blood? Is that why Aragorn withstood, too?

Canonically the race of men are most easily corrupted, yet Elrond half-elven, who is almost 40% man, doesn’t notably bat an eyelash. Why?

"If the rest of my life was meant for this moment, then I wouldn't have changed a thing. My heart was a dark puckered hole, and you have filled it." Is such a raw fucking line to come from a book about a dnd character's grandfather fucking raw.

Wait I’m extremely curious about something. My sample size is going to be insanely biased given my account but whatever I still have to know. Reblog for bigger sample size or whatever.

(No shame btw I personally didn’t really internalize it on my first read through. Only once I had become sufficiently insane about stephanie brown did I put it together and Freak out.)

[philosophybits]

Some persons fancy that bias and counter-bias are favorable to the extraction of truth – that hot and partisan debate is the way to investigate... But Logic puts its heel upon this suggestion. It irrefragably demonstrates that knowledge can only be furthered by the real desire for it, and that the methods of obstinacy, of authority and every mode of trying to reach a foregone conclusion, are absolutely of no value.
