I've been throwing together random fits like this lately. No idea how many fashion rules I'm breaking in the process, but it's fun. Sometimes if the pics are the right angles, I also dress up a "mannequin" sketch in PowerPoint just to see how the dress, shoes, jewelry, etc. would look if I was wearing them. It's kinda like virtual paper dolls lol.
Anyway, I call this a flower fairy fit.
Why do Ancient Astronaut theorists act like Machu Picchu is thousands of years old? Like bro, Cristopher Columbus was born around the same time it was built. What are you gonna tell me next, that the Villa Medici in Fiesole, Italy was built by aliens?
And that's not even touching the racist undertones that surround ancient alien conspiracy theories. Ugh.
Pardy by Michael Montano because I've been watching Trinidad carnival streams for the last two days, and that's one of the two songs they played a LOT. XD

ATTENTION
If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)
Thor according to Jane most likely.
This is a meteorite that has fallen from a clearly superior part of the galaxy.
Eragon would be the first one to cry watching a sad movie. Nasuada’s concerned, Murtagh’s asleep, Arya’s munching on popcorn, Roran and Katrina are not paying attention (at least not to the movie), Thorn’s wondering if Murtagh’s brother is okay, Saphira’s rolling her eyes and patting Eragon on the head, and Fírnen is really upset that the dog died.
Orrin’s drunk.

"undoing this character's death would take away his sacrifice and character arc" girl I don't give a shit. I'm bringing him back through the power of ao3 fix-it fics and there's nothing you can do to stop me x
It would be funny if the Name of Names just translated to something like “Run as Administrator” or something
Murtagh is standing there screaming in the throne room
“icacls "C:\Users\Murtagh\Utilities\ANCIENTLANG.exe" /grant Murtagh:F”
Reading any mentions of Murtagh's dancing skills is funny because I try to imagine him doing court dances, but because I've danced ballet for most of my life, I end up imagining him doing something crazy athletic like this
This kitty is totally the cat character from one of my WIPs… when he’s finally behaving.
I watch Crimson Peak for the plot
The plot:
Thomas' project reminds me so much of real life engineering. It's a brilliant invention with a shoestring budget. He also struggles to get (honest) funding for it, and therefore, his project's most likely understaffed, over schedule, and over budget.
And of course the machine experiences a huge component failure when he finally gets it running because stuff usually never works right the first time in engineering. Then the project has to be scrubbed in the end, namely because Lucille got stabby (but that's another story).
Dumb meme I made while reading the OG Captain America comics. What tags would you personally use for Cap?
These drawings have no business being so cute!!! 😭😭😭
i hate these videos but these chibi planes are sooo cute & expressive & gauche
The author of the first fic I read with that tag used it unironically because the father character is a good dad in the book canon, so I was very confused when I read another fic that used the tag sarcastically. XD
one thing i adore about fandom is the “[bad parent]’s A+ parenting” tag on ao3. it’s so universal and so sarcastic and it makes me giggle every time i see it
ppl will be like i don’t want to read ooc fics and not realise fans have so many personal interpretations of canon that ooc means a different thing to different ppl. like my favourite fics i’ve ever read all have slightly different characterisations and yet i devour them all with hunger. what makes a fic great, to me, maybe has more to do with consistency of voice than with a consensus on what ‘in character’ means, more to do with the quality of writing and the strength of the premise and whether my heart gets shattered and healed or not
Imagine you've just come home from a loooong day of work. You're dead tired, you're stressing out about that one deadline tomorrow, and you've got a flat tire to deal with. And then your golden retriever of a boyfriend calls to check in on you.
When I was lurking on Tumblr, I was amazed by all the beautiful gradient text that people had one their posts. I discovered this extremely detailed post on how to make your own, and I absolutely love Method 1. The way I add the HTML code to the post is by first writing everything out in the rich text editor. Then I switch to the HTML editor and paste the site's gradient HTML code into the part of the post that I want since the HTML formatting for that line of text is already done for you. Make sure that you only replace the text within the formatting code with the text gradient code you copied.
If you have a method that you like to use, let me know what it is and why it's your favorite! If you are in the same boat as me, I hope you'll find this resource as helpful as I did. :)
this is kinda stupid of me to ask but how do you do gradient texts?
Hello!
[Disclaimer: To make gradient text, you have to turn off the beta option on tumblr posts] UPDATE: The beta option can no longer be turned off (presumably because they, well, rolled out whatever features were previously there in the beta). However, you can go to Settings → Dashboard → Type of dashboard (it'll be a dropdown close to the bottom) → HTML.
To make a gradient text, you basically have to convert whatever gradient you have into HTML code. [css code doesn’t work] Fortunately though, there are sites for that! You can use this site and/or this site. Here’s how they both work:
Method 1 - Patorjk’s Text Color Fader
Step 1: Enter your desired text, your colors [you can change the number of colors too; just click on the dropdown option]
[Fade Type: I just use the default fade type, but I reckon the vertical one’s good if you want to create gradient paragraphs]
Now once you’ve clicked the “Generate Color Faded Text” button, you’ll see something like this:
Copy all of that and paste it into this site like so:
Click “Replace Text” and copy it to the clipboard, and you’re done!
Method 2 - JSFiddle
This one’s not as “user-friendly” as the former, but it’s still pretty easy to manoeuvre around once you get the hang of it!
[When you’re done customizing, click on the “Run” button on the top left.]
Now you should see that the colors in those boxes in the run area are now your desired colors. Enter the text in the top text box as shown and click the run button next to the color boxes. Your HTML code should appear in the second text box. Copy that and you’re done!
[I’d only edit the main code if I want to add one/more colors. Otherwise you can just click the boxes in the run area and edit the colours directly from there. This supports hex codes, RGB and HSL.]
For example, I’ve done this:
Okay, now once you’ve copied your HTML code, you have to go back to tumblr and create a new post without the beta format. You should see a gear icon; click that and change the post type to HTML. [tip: customize a blank piece of text however you want (bold, italic etc.) in the Rich Text editor and then just replace that with your gradient text code in the HTML editor]
Now paste your HTML code in the text area, and you should see something like this:
[note: I just clicked on the gear icon to demonstrate what it should look like]
You can preview your text by clicking on the “preview” button to see if you got anything wrong/to see what the final result will look like, and you can add your desired tags.
And that’s really all there is to it! Here’s what my final result will look like:
Viridian: #009698 to #008b8b to #007474
[Forgot to mention, once you've got your gradient text, you can't switch back to the Rich Text editor without losing your gradient, which is why I recommend customising your text in the Rich Text Editor before switching to HTML and replacing the black text with your gradient one! Personally, I just use the header option for my text so I put the h2 tags manually at the start and end of the code so as not to create a hassle]

Our joint username: Dodp
Dream Plane: DP
El Droide: Dod
Why are there so many dods? They remind me of variables in a bad math problem.
Dodp = DP + Dod
-> Dodp - Dod = DP
-> DP = Dod(p-1)

Sofia Maymula in La Sylphide.
No but why do an alarming amount of our WIPs have this exact premise?! 😅
Loki showing up half dead on Thor's doorstep and Thor wondering which other villain turned on him but it coming out that Loki had escaped a secret SHIELD facility which had been torturing and experimenting on him for months and never even told Thor they caught him
