I want to know how Vastra and Strax got to 19th century London. I want to know how Vastra and Jenny met and fell in love. I want to know how they them teamed up with Strax. It is not enough to just accept that this all happened, I want to know how!

The Battle Cry of the Embittered Narcissist

mirabilelectu:

Selfish, you’ve called me.

Lazy. Mindless. Weak.

You’ve branded me with a label and left it at that, content with your catchy phrase and your flippant degradation, oh so pleased with yourself for how snugly you’ve fit me into your neat little box.

All of you adults, with your lives so neatly in order, have taken it upon yourselves to start passing judgment on mine. You think it’s your right, your responsibility to tell me how horribly I’ve gone astray, to give me checklists and guidelines and sanctimonious homilies on how best to be happy and live a life with meaning and purpose. How best to be like you.

Well I suppose I’d better apologize now, because that’s not going to happen. It’ll never happen. It can’t happen. I will never live the life you think I should, and I refuse to even try. And while we’re on the subject I am sick and tired beyond belief of being analyzed and dissected by an older generation who will never understand what they are talking about. I am sick of being discussed like I’m not in the room, like I have no input into my own future and no say in the world that I’m coming into. So that’s about to change.

I am a Millennial. And now it’s my turn to say some things about you.

Omashu - Yunkai

Am I the only one who thought Yunkai kinda looks like Omashu?

Qarth also looked a little bit like Ba Sing Se with the rings of walls

The first immigrants to Europe arrived thousands of years ago from central Asia. Most pre-contact Europeans lived together in small villages. Because the continent was very crowded, their lives were ruled by strict hierarchies within the family and outside it to control resources. Europe was highly multi-ethnic, and most tribes were ruled by hereditary leaders who commanded the majority “commoners.” These groups were engaged in near constant warfare.

Pre-contact Europeans wore clothing made of natural materials such as animal skin and plant and animal-based textiles. Women wore long dresses and covered their hair, and men wore tunics and leggings. Both men and women liked to wear jewelry made from precious stones and metals as a sign of status. Before contact, Europeans had very poor diets. Most people were farmers and grew wheat and vegetables and raised cows and sheep to eat. They rarely washed themselves, and had many diseases because they often let their animals live with them.

Religion infused every part of Europeans’ lives. Europeans believed in one supreme deity, a father figure, who they believed was made of three parts, and they particularly worshiped the deity’s son. They claimed that their god had given humans domination over the earth. They built elaborate temples to him and performed ceremonies in which they ate crackers and drank wine and believed it was the body and blood of their god, who would provide them with entrance into a wondrous afterlife called heaven when they died. Many wars were fought over disagreements about the details of this religion, each group believing their interpretation was the right one that should be spread across the land.

Somehow I have 40 followers. I think I need to throw a party or something when I get to 50.

My favorite part about seeing Marvel movies in the theater is when the credits come on and the majority of people just get up and leave and it’s like YES THE WEAK ONES HAVE BEEN WEEDED OUT NOW BRING ON THE EXTRA SCENE

Everybody stayed when I saw Iron Man 3, but I went for the Midnight showing and half of them were in cosplay.

When I saw Iron Man 3, it was the middle of the afternoon on a Monday and there was one other person in the whole theater. He walked out before the credits were over. I thought about calling him back in, but decided it was his loss.
