#and the lost lamp

[samnotsammy12]

The Librarians and the Lost Lamp has gifted me with the knowledge that not only was Charlene a fan of the Jekyll and Hyde musical, she preferred it over the book

what an icon

Also the book takes place between And the Point of Salvation and And the Happily Ever Afters which had me DYING over Ezekiel bc he’s all happy-go-lucky the whole time and like…stg he remembers the DARPA loop stuff

my five year plan involves turning into a little mouse and using a sewing needle for a sword and going on an epic adventure to defeat a great evil through the power of friendship and stabbing

When Spike fought for his soul, it wasn't to be some hero or even to save the world. Those were by products of the actual reason he obtained his soul: Buffy.

Spike was never an apologist, and he was not gonna be the kind of person with or without a soul to go on an apology tour for anyone especially when he doesn't feel bad for what he did in the past. He was a vampire, and that was something that happened to him, and it wasn't his fault. Unlike Angel, he recognizes that, and he's skipped over the whole sitting in the dark while being boring and brooding crap.

He truly hurt Buffy and tried to do something deemed unforgivable, but he is forgiven because he stepped up and took responsibility for it. His only motive for receiving his soul was Buffy, to be exclusively HER champion and to be a better man for her.

His willingness to face the pain and torture of the trials and being by Buffy's side and helping her fight the good fight is his way of making amends for the things he's done. Just because you've done something bad doesn't mean you have to wallow about it or apologize for it all the time, especially if you've taken appropriate measures to address it and change your behaviors.

And just to rant for a moment on the subject. Spike is Buffy's #1, and he proved that time and time again all through the last season when EVERYONE was questioning her motives, her abilities, and her choices at every turn. Spike never even questioned her ability to win or lost faith in her and had grown so much over the season. He went from being the guy who let her take out the shame she felt and everything she hated about herself on to him, then became the guy who built her back up when she was at her weakest. She lost faith in herself, which is profoundly dangerous on just a basic human level, and Spike showed her how he saw her, then she believed him. That is a superpower on its own, and letting yourself see and be seen is the most vulnerable and courageous thing a person can do. It invokes trust to the highest degree. Spike earned Buffy's loyalty and love, hands down, point blank.

“Oh yeah sure you can crash on our couch!! Matt Smith just has to keep you company.”

“What”

“Oh you know.”

“I mean- uh- I guess that’s okay… But can you turn the lampshade around?”

“Oh yeah sure! :) Are you ready for bed?”

“Can- can you turn it… Again….?”

“?? Haha yeah okay :3”

“I… Uh.. Y-Yeah that’s fine I guess…”

“Okay awesome!! If you need anything else let me know!! The light does have to stay on though!! Goodnight!!! <33”

(For context, Discord recently added the polls feature, and upon getting it yesterday, I tested it out by asking the above question in the server. Soon, I realized I never used Tumblr's poll feature and decided to bring that question here for all of Duckblr to answer. Happy voting!)

[drewlyyours]

So- I'm a freshly graduated archaeology student and I wanted to point something out...

this is the funniest shit I've ever seen.

LIKE

THEY LITERALLY DESIGNED THE OIL LAMP PERFECTLY FINE (maybe a little dull for a queen but whatevs)

IT'S GOT THE NOZZLE AND MOUTH AND EVERYTHING

however, there's one VERY KEY FLAW IN THIS SYSTEM

WHAT THE HELL DO THEY THINK THIS PART IS FOR????

for anyone still confused here’s an actual oil lamp in use:

The wick would go through the nozzle and the oil poured through the top hole would soak the wick until the oil ran out.

HOW DOES THE TMB LAMP EVEN FUNCTION???????

however, I will say that they were correct in assuming it could light up that whole room: they are very powerful.

(if you have any questions - any more questions... just ask)

[bigmammallama5]

Pretty pleased with what I pulled out of the train kiln, and kinda kicking myself for not putting some more functional ware in it! I've definitely got some wad grinding ahead of me but the reduction cooling at the end of the firing really added that last nice little umf. I'll share more images later once I've got everything cleaned up, I'm going to see what my soda pots look like on Monday and go from there!

~~~.~🧡~.~~~ || Broken Vessel - Hollow Knight || self request :)

I love hollow knight!!! rahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was an easier stimboard to make because I had much clearer ideas of what sort of stims I wanted and 2 of the gifs (3 & 4) didn't even need editing! :D Lost kin/Broken vessel is my favourite hollow knight boss so I was rly happy while making this oneee <33

[kissnpunch]

everyone talks about q!roier background story but i swear to god what would make him lost it, break his sanity, is if someone takes his lamp.

[shiftythrifting]

employee here again!! The lamp was very popular with everyone at the registers- I had other customers and my coworkers asking about and googling things about this thing

[theworldinclines]

we need to discuss mark the vampire having not 1 but 2 lava lamps in his room
