why would a fantasy world with dragons and orcs and liches not have gay marriage, i dont fucking understand these nerds who strive to cling to the shittier aspects of reality in fantasy

“check it out, this monster that shoots acid out of its one nostril and it has like a fucked up ostrich body.”

“cool, can my character be trans like me?”

“no, fuck you”

mary poppins fits the mythological role of a trickster god, discuss

She….she shows up in a time of dullness, creates chaos and drives on the story, but always is sure that everything is fixed, though changed, often for the better. Lessons were learned. Holy crap, she fits the archetype very well.

I feel like you should definitely not leave Loki in charge of your children, though.

C’mon, Loki has been a fabulous parent.

Well, granted, his children have been successful in a wide range of fields.

Including grazing in them.

I want everyone to push the Ted Cruz is the zodiac killer joke relentlessly until Ted Cruz is forced to address whether or not he is the zodiac killer in a debate

phoneus:

“your fav is gay. sorry i don’t make the rules.”

“imagine your fav holding your corpse and sobbing”

“imagine your fav kissing your icon”

“imagine your fave whispering into your ear that they want to fuck you”

not sure why, not sure why, not sure why, but the default character I think of is

the linux penguin and  boy do I picture it vividly

Install linux, problem solved.

Wowww. I mean, I get messages like this all the time, but this says so much about YOU and your worldview, and basically nothing about anyone else. Much less whoever you intended to insult with this.

I mean, is “being European” some kind of accomplishment? It’s obvious you seem to think that, so much so that you imagine that people who aren’t must somehow secretly long to be. There’s little to no logical consistency between any statement you’ve made here.

All I see is regurgitated racist lies that are obviously false, and demonstrate with embarrassing clarity that your identity is an empty construct based entirely on what it is not, and who it excludes. The smallness of your worldview would be pitiful if it didn’t have so much violence behind it.

You can cover your eyes and throw a tantrum, but the truth stays true, and European history still includes a fascinating, complex, and mind-blowingly diverse cast of human beings throughout all aspects of society.

from medieval European imaginings of Jesus

To the Virgin Mary

to the Gondoliers of Medieval and Renaissance Venice

The serfs in Russia

The entourage of the Holy Roman Emperor

The holiest embodiments of virtue

Studies in beauty and grace

From champions of military might

to diplomatic negotiators of peace

From the most sacred

to the debauched and profane

History is beautiful, and diverse, and full of so much immense possibility that I never really stop being in awe of it. If you can’t see the beauty in that, that’s your problem.
