#very imposing but lovely

Storm

-Wilfred Owen (1893-1918)

His face was charged with beauty as a cloud

With glimmering lightning. When it shadowed me,

I shook, and was uneasy as a tree

That draws the brilliant danger, tremulous, bowed.

-

So must I tempt that face to loose it’s lightning.

Great gods, whose beauty is death, will laugh above,

Who made his beauty lovelier than love.

I shall be bright with their unearthly brightening.

-

And happier were it if my sap consume;

Glorious will shine the opening of my heart;

The land shall freshen that was under gloom;

What matter if all men cry out and start,

And women hide their faces in their shawl,

At those hilarious thunders of my fall?

#what’s this?? could it be a sonnet?? #a queer sonnet??? #a gay poem??? #from Wilfred Owen??? #well guys no one here is as surprised as I am #this pretty little thing was most likely written around october 1916 #nothing revolutionary style wise but it’s really fun to read with all the Zeus type semantic fields #very imposing but lovely #anyway #wilfred owen #poetry #ww1 #sonnet #queer literature #sounds like he has a very aggressive but saucy situationship going on #I’m not sure if their relationship here sounds like the healthiest #potential domestic violence tw

just some silly little drawing ideas, qbbh in clothes from older history i.e. 1930’s 1920’s (idk if you draw him still but if not that’s ok! :D) or baghera and pomme fluff!

lo! a human person whom no danger nor destruction ever follows!! do NOT look into the darkness beneath his hat no it does not matter how much his normal human eyes are glowing do NOT look. looking too closely gets you too close to his teeth. which are also normal

#qsmp badboyhalo #mishapen answers #mishapen sketches #dw anon i am still Very Much drawing badboyhalo #i just havent been posting my sketches kjsdf #he's so fun to draw #but so DIFFCULT to put him in anything other than his cloak #due to my self-imposed rule to always keep his face hidden in shadow #oh you know what he would have LOVED funeral fashion with those big veils #three cheers also for the first time ive titted him #something something if theyre too busy looking at your breasts theyre too busy to notice the demonic halo floating around your head #he's so good at hiding #anonymous

What do you think you add? Do you think you make a poignant post better when after scrolling down through it we see someone saying it's "official"?

I'm choosing to interpret this ask as a genuine question (albeit one that's been worded a bit rudely) instead of a hate anon, because I wouldn't want to tarnish people's dashboards with hate anons.

Now, to answer your genuine question... The "Discworld Heritage Post" tagline I add to the end of posts has as much validity as I have authority to bestow it: none. Do I think my tagline makes posts better? Of course not! And I certainly don't think I make them official, (and neither my url or my pinned post claim that I do so).

I don't know what reasons other people had to start their own Heritage Posts blogs for other fandoms, but I will gladly tell you mine: I got into Discworld. I discovered the Discworld fandom in Tumblr. And, one day, while scrolling down some Discworld related tags, the idea just popped into my head. After checking that there wasn't a Discworld Heritage Posts blog already, I decided to make one.

I personally follow a few Heritage Posts blogs, and my reason to do so is probably the same as to why many people follow this blog: I wanted to see that kind of content. Tracking tags and being up to date on the most popular posts of a fandom is doable, but doing so for the dozens upon dozens of media I'm into is impossible, so I like to follow some Heritage Posts blogs to get some of those posts directly into my dashboard (it's also worth mentioning that sometimes, some iconic posts are made when people comment stuff on them, and those don't appear in the search tags, so following blogs that post about a certain fandom is the best way to come across some of those collaborative posts, because otherwise you'd rarely get to see them). So yes, I created a blog that, had it already existed, I would have liked to follow. Also, while other blogs with this gimmick usually limit themselves to reblogging, let's call them the "greatest hits", I've said since the beginning that I didn't care about how many notes something had. Be it cool art or a funny or insightful post, if I like it, I send it to my drafts.

However, none of those reasons are the main reason why I made this blog. The main reason is that I did it for myself. After exhausting all the content that showed up in the Popular Posts tab, I couldn't help but think of all the gold and treasure that wasn't there, buried and hidden due to the way Tumblr's search engine works. If you're familiar with the Discworld concept of "lies-to-children", that's what the "top posts of all time" is in Tumblr. A 20k post from 2016 will not be there, but a six month old post with 400 notes will show up. Surely there had been amazing Discworld posts and art posted in 2015 and 2013, but I wasn't going to find most of them unless I expressly went looking for them. And this blog was the perfect excuse to do so. As of replying to this ask, there's nearly 600 posts sitting in my drafts, and if I didn't have this blog I would have never discovered 90% of them. And those are the ones I've seen. I still have dozens of places I haven't searched.

I know that if I reblog a month old post with over 2k notes, a lot of people in the fandom will have already seen it. However, a 2k notes post from 2014, or a drawing with 40 notes from 2012 is something that is less likely to have hit people's dashes recently, or at all. When you come across the "Discworld Heritage Post" tagline in a post, please don't picture me as an uppity monarch performing the Tumblr equivalent of a knighting ceremony, or a stuffy museum curator deigning a piece worthy of being included in an exhibition. Picture me as a kid enthusiastically jumping and flailing my arms around while yelling "holy shit guys check out what I just found!!", because that's how I feel running this blog.

Ultimately, whether one of my posts does better or worse is indifferent to me, because they aren't my posts, or memes, or drawings. I'm just the intermediary. That being said, of course it's not indifferent to me, because more engagement means that was a post many people hadn't seen before, or had forgotten about, and one of my goals was to run a blog that would allow people to find those hidden or long forgotten gems.

When all is said and done, Heritage Post blogs are just another one of Tumblr's gimmicks. If we're not your cup of tea, you're free to ignore or block us. If you want to reblog something and don't want the tagline, you can reblog it directly from OP (or from another reblog if OP has deactivated their account).

#long post #THAT BEING SAID #I've seen people being very exited about something they made showing up in this blog and calling it an honor and stuff like that #and to those people I say: I see you and your lovely tags and my heart warms when I read them #i might not have any real authority besides a self imposed gimmick in a nearly defunct social media platform #but if seeing your stuff here makes you happy and proud those feelings are valid and I want you to treasure them #a lot of things only have the meaning we ascribe to them and my tagline might not hold any official meaning #but it does mean something VERY IMPORTANT: #that I saw your post and I loved it and I reblogged it to make sure other people could also find it and love it #I need to come up with a tag for asks don't I? ok how about #asked and answered #dhp's asks #discworld

Gamzee: (❁´◡`❁)~◆

You're taller than most trolls twice your age, you're not exactly some soft little pretty pile-warmer. But yeah, you figure you can just about give "soft and harmless" a motherfucking shot. Sure would be a whole lot quicker and easier if this motherfucker didn't have the motherfucking gall to get in your double-damned motherfucking WAY--

...But there's not a hell of a lot you can get done about that, so you stand yourself small instead, keep your horns turned away and your jaw off a little one side so he can see your throat and ease up to the door.

You see him see you, then see the emperor's sign on your neck, then the soft, no-armor shit you're wearing, then the look you're giving him, which is a worried and hoping smile you don't have to work at to put on. When you raise a frond at him, you see him scope your hands, your blunted claws. His face turns olive-colored.

"Hey," you say, and put maybe more of a croon on it than you mean, because you see his claws give a little twitchy knead at his spear, and his face goes even more olive at you. "Gotta get past you, bro."

"I didn't, uh," he says. Seems like maybe he's noticed how, big as you are, his face is lined up with your throat, which has fuck-all to guard it except some glittery shit. Easy as fuck, some motherfucker could put their fangs there, and the pretty shine only shows off how bare it is. Seems like maybe he's noticing it real good at the moment. "I didn't hear that one of the, uh. That he'd summoned anybody."

Fuck, yeah, there's only the one door here, huh. He'd have seen if somebody got sent out to grab you. You panic real quiet to yourself a second, and then say, "He lets us know when he wants us," and reach out and touch his frond with your blunted-down claws, and see him get real motherfucking stupid about it.

Even with your fangs and claws blunted useless you're strong enough to tear him open and he has to raise his chin to look at you and he wears armor you're not allowed but his grip's gone soft on his weapon and you could--

He says, "Well. Then, so, if he said-- If he wants--yes. Of course." And you breathe again.

It's dark in there, when you sneak on inside, and there's just one light to read by, set by a big sitstub turned away from you. When the door closes, you hear the emperor shift around in the chair, but he doesn't turn back to look at you. Shit. You didn't figure what you'd do if you got this far. You don't guess you'll get more than a question in.

Gamzee: Take audience with royalty

==> Ask him what he saw in your shadow ==> Ask him if he needs some company ==> Ask him if he's ever going to let you go ==> finally FINALLY motherfucking LISTEN to me snap his MOTHERFUCKING NECK

#CYOA: Imperial Favor #slkdjsfl literally zero people voting for Gamzee to try being imposing and imperious tbh it's a good call but it's also very funny #although not as funny as the five or ten minutes where ''do a murder'' was winning with 50% of the votes #like damn yall found out my boy's got a malevolent ghost and were like 'well he probably knows what he's about' I love everyone in this bar

Don't you guys think it's fucked up when Fiona starts dating and sleeping out of the house, leaving Debbie, Carl and Liam kind of for themselves?

Once she started dating Mike she would sleep at his place sometimes which I think it's okay, she was paying the bills and would leave dinner ready and communicate Debs and she was still looking out for them, they had health care and she took them to the clinic and all that. She needs to take care of her, live a life, sleep at her boyfriend sometimes, that's fine and healthy. But then she marry Gus and is often out of there, get together with Sean and doesn't even know what's going on with them anymore (aka "why there's nothing to eat in the fridge" "cause no one is doing the shopping" dialogue with Debbie, not knowing when it's their first day at school, letting Sammy move in and run things after her trailer got fucked by Frank), and then she gets her apartment and moves out completely and like, okay, Ian was a EMT, Lip is a mechanic already I think, she did said she wasn't going to support Debbie after her pregnancy (fucked me thinks), Carl's at military school, but Liam is still a kid! And Debs and Carl are still underage! And they are her responsibility.

It just doesn't sit right with me that Liam didn't at least moved with her.

Specifically Fiona defenders, I would love to hear more about it.

#i could he talking a lot of shit cause i only watched s6 and ahead once and it was some months ago but #i dont think im wrong. i dont there was any sort of explanation or reason or anything like that #she straight up left all behind to start fresh with her apartment her money her expensive chair didnt she #and i want fiona to grow! to do her stuff! to be only a sister to her siblings and not their mom! but she is their legal guardian #yes lip and ian definitely has to help family now. she didnt had to raise them the way she did until s3 but she did and they own her big #at least i think they do. she sacrificed herself out of love for them. made them go to school. gave them a life and some sort of stability #so now its their time to take up the responsibility with her. but thats it. with her. she dont get to abandon them. #mostly cause she is their legal guardian yk. and it was very strictly imposed and explained s3 its from here on until theyre ALL 18 #and i somewhat think its okay for her to want liam to be in chicago when she left. she gave them money and he had there more stability #like she had no job yet no place to live he wouldnt have any family around to support him he would have to move to another school is a lot! #but to not make this move legally? to i dont know transfer him to lip or something? to not call and get to know how hes doing? #to not send liam $ once she gets a job or a share of her 50k every month? to not offer him to move with her once she gets her shit together #i dont like it. actually i hate it. #shameless #shameless us #fiona gallagher #og. #s9

good GOD can we stop gendering everything. I swear some of y'all just took the futch scale and decided to run with it as gender roles 2.0 (yassified edition)

#like use whatever labels you want for yourself and your communities idc! i love femmes i love butches im happy for you #my issue as always comes when yall start imposing those labels on anyone and everyone unsolicited #and ESPECIALLY when you tear apart other people for not being femme/butch enough #me personally i dislike both those labels because i know i will never be enough for them even if i try #plus i dont see the correlation between how a certain article of clothing or way of wearing my hair makes me more masculine or feminine #for ME that is. like if a skirt/kurti makes you feel more femme thats great. but that doesn't mean it has to universally be feminine #and telling me im femme because i like skirts is just reinforcing a universal gender to a piece of clothing #me personally i can't wear pants cause they're uncomfortable #anyway tangent aside. those “this is the most butch woman twitter can handle” posts were funny at first #but then they devolved into “HAHA twitter thinks girl with long hair is butch they don't know what a real butch is” #which is so annoying. what makes you butch. who gets to decide that #there is a problem when characters who express their butchness a certain way canonically get miscasted with traditionally femme stuff #and i get that butchphobia is very real #but also when that's not the case just let people express themselves man. you don't have to be dragging everyone all the time #girlblogging.pdf

examples of Jakurai hsbing foot in mouth syndrome?? 😂 /pos

exhibit a!!!!!! in rhyme anima➕, he was tasked to be a good host in that bb/mtr/bat episode and showed off that jakurai charm to the point she was speechless!!!!! and not in a good way lmao!!!!

and it can be directly compared to hitoya’s rizz that we see in the next scene, where he also provided consultation services as his attraction point, but not only did he provide good advice, he also poured and mixed her drink for her like whew!!! 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

if the canonicity of rhyme anima bothers you, you also have that scene of the same vibe during kuujaku posse’s drama track (the second one is what my brain tells me lol) where ramuda gets hypmic’s og high functioning disaster gay to pick up women and not only does he fail, he makes her run away from him lmao

exhibit b!!!!!! he got a hot date with hitoya in the block party tracks!!!!! they totally sounded like bfs who didn’t want to hang up the phone on each other until jakurai fumbled it lmao

exhibit c!!!!!! the most damaging!!!!! who knows what would have happened if jakurai, out of all the things he could have questioned ramuda about in the scene leading to their break up, chose not to pick at ramuda’s ‘realness’ as a being!!!!! but he did!!!! even tho ramuda, caught in the lie, looked to be willing to bare something of himself to jakurai who is on the record of wanting to see the real him btw!!!!!

i hope this is sufficient evidence of jakurai inability to talk to people without fcking it up in some way lmao thanks for coming to my ted talk LOL

#vee got an ask #the ye ol argument of jakurai who sucks at communicating vs ramuda who is very good at it (and can manipulate it too) #and yet ramuda’s humanity was brought into question hm hm hm #(all negated anyway by their occasional callousness towards humans lol fr they made quite the pair) #unrelated but stage jakurai was cold in way i hadn’t really seen since we were first introduced to him in canon and i miss it sometimes lol #like i like how jakurai is compared to light and light brings warmth #but he also has god imagery imposed on him and there’s prose upon prose of writers feeling like a god’s love can be distant and cold HHHHH— #i miss jakurai brainrot sometimes lmao

I have not played Armored Core 6 yet (aside from like five minutes at my brother's house) but Iguazu is such an adorable smug annoying hate-filled failure of a man that I can't not want him (plus he's voiced by Griffin Burns, so I can't even lie, the Genshin player in me was hooked right away alxnalxmalxn)
