I went to the farmer’s market yesterday and at the honey guy’s booth and there were all these bees just hangin out.  Checking out the beeswax tabs, floating around the honey jars, not being aggressive, just really gentle and investigating or something

and as he was giving me a sample of the wildflower honey one of them landed on his hand and he just took a drop from the jar and dabbed it on his hand for the bee, and when I asked if they were his bees he said “No, but they show up every time I come out, I think they just know my truck” and this guy is well-known among the local bees and lets them sit on his hand and eat his honey and I just really like the bee guy

What more of an endorsement could you hope for

you met a fucking forest nymph

A werewolf film written by a woman wouldn’t be as interesting because they know how unrealistic it is to be caught by surprise by something that happens regularly every damn month.

#run right into queue#no no no no no the exact opposite#by this standard a werewolf film written by a woman would be much more interesting because it would be more /varied/#some werewolves who are prepared not only for their own shift but also for those of six of their closest packmates#some werewolves who wake up already covered in fur and look at their ruined clothes and think ‘oh /shit/ that was yesterday’#some werewolves who can’t be assed to figure out what day it is and therefore have an alert set in their phone#so that once a month they wake up not to a blinking ‘wake up’ message but to ‘wake up and Be Prepared’ and dramatic hyena music#(and then inevitably lose/break/forget to charge their phone the day before and spend hours humming uncomfortably#before suddenly remembering at the least convenient moment possible and rushing off stripping as they go)#not to mention the one werewolf who only transforms one night a month and then has to refrain from gloating#while they help their one packmate who’s been shifted for an entire goddamned week and has started dreaming of murder (via @ereborne)

And then there’s that werewolf who goes three full moons without transforming, then transforms one night during a waxing crescent moon.

Now I’m imagining some on the werewolf form of the pill and having to regularly keep up their schedule and one werewolf telling another that they used to have such irregular changes but the pill now makes things so much easier and the other werewolves being like oh man I should talk to my doctor about this.

All i imagined is some poor fucker that’s like “you think you have it bad. I got my first change at 9 and change sporadically every 4 months or so. For 2 weeks. Sometimes it happens randomly so i just gave up.”

   #for days before the change you’re extra growly and constantly want to go for walkies
 

@writernotwaiting

Why. Is this not a thing already. Why.

Wake up pissed and agitated with a headache and slam some aspirin with no real thought to the matter because it must just be a shit day. Halfway through the day they just “…oh shit that explains so much fuck fuck fuck”

I’d watch this. I’d watch this so hard.

anyway, i just found out that in one of the early drafts of iron man, howard stark was going to be alive as the cold and ruthless industrialist who would be THE ANTAGONIST OF THE MOVIE, THE GUY WHO TRIES TO KILL TONY like if this doesn’t tell you anything about the sort of space that character occupies in the concept of mcu iron man then idk what will

at some point, they also intended to hold out on obadiah stane and only present him as a villain in the second movie after spending the first parading as tony’s friend and mentor, so fucking imagine the nightmare scenario where tony’s own father tries to murder him in one movie and then the trusted friend who helped him through becoming iron man, also tries to murder him after using their closeness and tony’s vulnerability to his advantage

… I can see why Marvel changed their minds on doing this because it is a fascinating character arc with really complex villains.  Given Iron Man was the first of the Marvel movies to make it big – laying the ground work for Thor, Captain America and Avengers – I can understand why they decided to go for a simpler narrative: the princess in the tower saves herself from the dragon with the dragon.

But man, can you imagine?

Movie 1: the man who sends Tony to his death is Howard, his father.  This man then takes the things that Tony built out of blood and bone to escape, and builds a new weapon he intends to use to make a new fortune and start a global arms race.

It doesn’t even matter if Howard had intentionally wanted to kill Tony or his capture was accidental and subsequent refusal to pay ransom was company policy or a US government decision.  The point would be Tony actively rebelling against what he sees as his father’s interest in profit over ethics.   And in all this, there’s Obadiah Stane, supporting Tony despite having been Howard’s right hand man for years.  There’s Uncle Obadiah helping Tony recover.  There’s Stane, helping Tony fight and then kill Howard next to Pepper and Coulson.

End credits – Tony announcing he is Iron Man and that Stark Industries will be ceasing weapons development, with Obadiah Stane standing by him, acting CEO as the company mourns the death of its founder, Howard Stark.

And then, Movie 2 – Tony facing death from heavy metal poisoning and desperately trying to find a cure.  And there is Obadiah Stane, nudging Tony to indulge his worse impulses (and accelerate the poisoning) as a distraction while he takes the reigns of Stark Industries and re-starts the weapons division.

Tony’s realisation that Obadiah Stane has betrayed him – is, in effect, actively working towards Tony dying as the easiest way for Stane to take over Stark Industries – is all the more emotionally devastating to the audience because we spent an entire movie and 2 years assuming he was one of the heroes.  We’ve seen Tony call him ‘Uncle Obie’ repeatedly.  We’ve heard the childhood stories – we’ve seen a man, portrayed as a hero, care about Tony at some of his lowest moments.

And now, here’s this same man, destroying everything Tony has tried to do.  Worse, this man doesn’t care that Tony is preparing to die, that everything Tony is doing is towards a legacy, to make sure that the Stark name won’t be remembered for death and selling weapons on the black market.

And Tony is helpless – he’s dying, he can’t stop Stane, he’s cut off from his company and the world think he’s having a nervous breakdown.

On a side note, two years separate Iron Man I and Iron Man II – at Monaco Tony remarks that the event is his first vacation in two years.  Given metal poisoning and technology development, Tony probably found out he was going to die from the arc reactor in his chest fairly soon after the end of Iron Man I and then began working to make sure Stark Industries would have a future without him.  Tony had a long time to know he was living on borrowed time is what I’m saying.

Anyway, there’s Tony, betrayed by the man who helped him kill his father.  There’s Tony, stretching out his life by days and months only if he stops using the arc reactor to power the Iron Man.  There’s Tony – helpless and caught.  And into this comes Nick Fury and Howard Stark’s research notes.

And here’s Tony watching a video of the man who sent him to his death.  A video filmed literal decades ago and talking to him.  Here’s Tony being saved by his father and the man who tried to kill him.

What a mind fuck those two movies would have been.  How complex and weird and ridiculously human both those villains would have been.  How utterly impossible to tell the story well in 5 hours split over 2 movies, 2 years apart.But wow can you imagine how well Robert Downey Junior would have done portraying a man betrayed twice and saved twice by the same two men? Can you imagine how much more screwed up we’d all be when we watched Tony find out about Steve Rogers.  Because you see, that would be the moment Tony realises (or at least believes) that his father wanted the Iron Man technology probably because it would have allowed deeper, more thorough deep water exploration in search of a body.  Think of a Tony who looks at Captain America and fights with Captain America  and follows Captain America while believing that his father chose Steve over his own son – over and over again, all the way to the end – rather than the [handwave Loki’s magic staff] deux ex machina of the Avengers.    Anyway in the right script writer’s hands, it would have been amazing is what I’m saying.  But probably not suitable for children.

does anyone else get really uncomfortable when having to do stuff in front of other people? like even normal things like writing or something? i’m just so used to screwing things up because of my inattention problems that i’d rather be by myself when it happens again u know

Ok but no joke this is literally part of what makes my daily life so hard, if someone else is in the room and it’s not someone I’m like ten thousand percent comfortable with then I’ll feel like they’re watching every little thing I do and thinking about what a screw up I am like to the point that even just cooking around my family is so stressful

This is pretty typical of people who’ve been criticized a lot as children, especially by relatives. It gives us a kind of ‘performance anxiety’ as soon as anyone watches us do anything.

Like, I share the reaction to being watched while I cook too, and that’s because I was always criticized while I cooked as a kid and teenager, and if my own mother is around while I cook , to this day, I get anxious and wish she would go away because I’m always anticipating criticism about how I do anything and everything in the kitchen.

When I was a kid, my father got so mad at me because of how I was passing the vacuum that he literally ripped it out of my hands and very aggressively swung it around while hissing at me :’‘No, not like that, like this! IN. STRAIGHT. LINES.’‘ And since I had always known that he has a volatile temper, this sort of thing was terrifying, because I had no idea if he would get even more aggressive…

Its a survival tactic to want to avoid being watched, because it triggers our instinctual fear of being seen or watched by predators in the wild that our ancestors learned the hard way. And our brains react to being watched by other people the same way it reacts to being watched by a dangerous animal.

“Her fantasy novel Children of Blood and Bone, the first of a trilogy about a young girl’s battle with a prince over bringing magic back to West Africa,  is going to be released some time next year. But it’s already got a seven-figure publishing deal with Macmillan, and a massive deal with Fox Studios too, with the latter acquiring the movie rights pretty early on in the day for a book that hasn’t even been published yet.”

once you play dragon age you just get it

like other people balk at 100+ hour playthroughs and think it’s weird to “romance” a video game character but my boyfriend started playing and like 2 hours in he was like “i reloaded because cassandra didn’t like something I said, is that normal”

yes. yes it is.
