A New Banksy artwork in Marseilles.

In other news, does this remind me of something? Yes, yes it does. "This is a story about love."

The civilization trapped in an ice meteorite.

Superman, after saving the earth from another earth ending bomb, breeze through space, were glowing clouds of gas and dust known as a planetary nebula floated around aimlessly with glowing green dwarf particles as if a solar system was sucked into, but there only lays a sun and 7 planets here before before something caught his eye.

A pusling aimlessly floating ball like metorite full of frozen white ice with green dipped in the bottom in the middle of space. The pulsing glow flickers like a couple of very slow heartbeats.

Superman used his x ray vision to see inside, and what he saw immediately immediately griped the ice and speed flew over through back to the Watchtower which was not far from here.

Superman spoke in the coms of his oxygen mask to the Watchtower.

"Open the space entrance gates, and someone calls in Beatriz Da Costa. I found a floating town trapped in metorite ice with what seems civilians' insides." Superman spoke in the coms as he pushed the metorite carefully toward the watchtower, unaware of the gigantic glowing transparent being with 8 neon green eyes staring at him wrapped around the ice metorite like a Serpent to it's eggs.

kneeling is a broad term for what ghost does with price

surrendering is slightly more accurate but even that doesn’t hope to touch the sheer desperation in the way he clutches at him; his body bowed low at his feet, his legs latched around one of his, hugging it so tightly to his chest his arms shake as he digs his face into his thigh

it’s only here that he can finally give in to the screaming; to the distant voice he strangles into silence every day of his life. the one who begs him to make himself as small as possible; do everything he can to hide from the ever encroaching demons growling and salivating at his heels

it’s only here, in the dark of price’s barracks, hidden by a bed at his back and a wall to his front, that he finally lets himself stop running; only between solid combat boots and worn fatigues does he let himself tremble and admit to the choking fear

he’d break open price’s chest if he could; crawl past his gushing viscera and curl up under his ribs, hidden in the warm dark

ghost clawed his way out of the grave with broken nails and gritted teeth but he wouldn’t mind being buried again if it meant being cradled in the safety of price’s insides. his warm blood and soft lungs would blanket him, mask the stench of his rotten flesh until he could even convince himself that, maybe, he too was still alive

he shifts, unnerved by his own longing, and price runs his hand over the crown of his mask the same way he’d card it through his hair until he settles once more

he grounds him over the long hours it takes for his white-knuckled grip to relax into a loose hold; for his face to stop grinding into the meat of his thigh and simply rest in his lap, his bracketing legs the only thing holding his lax body up as he floats, untethered by fear

my brain's been flopping around between chilaios, stucky, and bagginshield, so have a bagginshield thought + some mpreg <3

thorin: from the moment i first saw you, i loved you bilbo: well, the moment i first saw you, i thought you were a conceited, stuck-up prick. i still think that sometimes. thorin: i love you so much bilbo: hmph. i will allow you to wed me and put one (1) baby in me. i tolerate you enough for that. thorin: [fist pump of victory]

ten years later...

bilbo: [kicks down the doors to the throne room] bilbo: WHERE IS YOUR DAMN KING all the dwarves: [point to their damn king with zero hesitation] thorin: i sense i have done something incorrect dwalin: no shit bilbo: [now brandishing a pair of scissors] THORIN OAKEN-FUCIKING-SHIELD IT IS TIME FOR YOUR WINGS TO BE CLIPPED thorin: ??? bilbo: I SAID ONE (1) BABY!!! bUT GUESS WHO'S PREGNANT FOR THE EIGHTH FUCKING TIME!!! THORIN!!! thorin: [looks at the scissors] thorin: my beloved,,, what are those for bilbo: y o u r b a l l s thorin: [flees from the throne room] bilbo: [running with scissors like everyone says not to do] GET BACK HERE YOU HAIRY LITTLE SHIT IT'S TIME FOR YOUR STONES TO GO BACK TO THE STONE random guard: are we... are we going to save the king? dwalin: no? did you not hear the consort? this is the eighth time. the king either has to learn to pull out, or get his pipes snipped. nori: besides i pinched the scissors. not for thorin's sake, to be clear. bc you should never run with scissors, and if we lost the consort, the whole mountain would fall apart. bilbo, ten corridors over already: heY WAIT A SECOND WHERE DID MY SCISSORS GO thorin: oh thank ma- YOU WERE RUNNING WITH SCISSORS??

oin is the first dwarf to perform a vasectomy. the king under the mountain is his first patient. the next dwarf to get a vasectomy is not born for nearly a thousand years, since dwarves rarely mate outside their species and have a very low birth rate to begin with. bilbo does not talk to thorin for like two weeks. eight times, he asks you. and yannow what??

three of those times. were multiples.

Oryms solution to the trolley problem is to pull the lever and only kill 1 person. Which is why the gods telling him that the lever wont work, and that another trolley may be coming, keeps bothering him.

Alright know what here's a little Guild Wars 2 reblog game for everybody; what mounts (if any) do your characters have in their canon, do they have names? Personalities? How'd they meet??

Spill it all below, tell me about all your creatures!!

Me, trying to explain how I got here with the craziest motherfucker in the movie: ... He has a tender, reflexive side that was vaguely explored in the film through the romantical and platonical scenes with his love interest and friends, but then he died. For so, it's fertile ground for me to write exploring it and the duality of the man makes me go insane as i do so.

Meanwhile the craziest motherfucker in the movie:

[reminder-that]

>tfw you will never be held/protected/loved by and/or support/protect/love this beautiful yet powerful creature (both those descriptors meant in both physicality and in character)

[captainlaurence]

However

THE WAY I GOT ALL OF THESE ON MY PHONE LAST NIGHT BECAUSE I WAS GONNA MAKE THIS EXACT POST I JUST FUCKING SHAT MYSELF OP I WAS LIKE DID I MAKE THAT POST AND THEN FORGET ABOUT IT WHAT IS HAPPENING 😭😭😭

(bonus: the mirror you mentioned)

(sick to my stomach about this)

i love how editing makes you notice tiny things you hadn't before

like i've watched this show too many time to count now but somehow i'm only now picking up on these bits from the charles vs night nurse scene in ep4

when the night nurse throws crystal away, niko immediately runs over and helps her up

then when they get back to the group, niko stands in front of her, mirroring charles standing in front of edwin

"Surely there was a better way to convey this information" probably! That may be why I'm no longer asked to contribute to our social media page at work!

But its that season again and i want to remind everyone that just because an object is vest-shaped and floats does not make it a lifejacket. Only a Coast Guard approved PFD is tested and rated to save your life. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

This...thing pops up in searches for "child's inflatable lifejacket" and bills itself as such. But scroll down and we find an explanation:

In contrast to life vests meant to keep your head above water, our vest enables you to swim smoothly with your head in the water. It keeps you buoyant longer for a safe and enjoyable experience - without worry of surprise riptides or fatigue.

Catch that? This thing is not intended to and will not keep your head above water, the single most important thing a personal flotation device should do. What if you are in a riptide and fatigued while wearing this thing and not longer able to keep your breathing hole above the water's surface? You're shit out of luck. You drown.

Consumers may notice that there is a warning notice on the back, but the good people at Amazon have cleverly obscured it. We can still make out "does not protect [...] drowning". If your waterwings, floaties, or vest-shaped inflatable have a disclaimer like this then they are not rated to safe your life, your child's life, your dog's life, whatever!

By contrast, every Coast Guard approved PFD has labeling like this:

It will clearly say USGC approved and have an approval number. It will say WHO it is rated for (infant, child, youth, adult), the size (small, medium large), an upper weight limit, and generally what kind of recreation its approved for (near shore versus offshore etc). It will give you instructions for proper use and signs that your lifejacket is nearing the end of its utility and needs to be replaced.

Not all personal flotation devices are suited for all activities. Whitewater kayaking and deep-sea fishing need more specialized gear than a day at the lake. But you should have, at minimum, a correctly-sized, well-fitting, CG approved PFD in serviceable condition for any kind of activity on or near the water. Have it, but most importantly, wear it!!!!!
