it cracks me up that there was a secret society of American journalists who, from 1965 to 2006, slipped the phrase "it was as if some occult hand..." into articles
this all started when one guy used the phrase in an article and his friends thought it was so hilariously out of place that they all started using it
it drove their editors crazy but they kept doing it
that was like. the whole thing. they called it the Order of the Occult Hand and all it did was put a random metaphor into as many news articles as possible
they picked a new phrase in the early 00s, which has not been revealed yet- to my knowledge

Blessing of the knitter/crocheter: may your hands never have cuts, bruising, sores, hangnails, or any other nuisance that would make your craft painful. May your hands and wrists never ache 🪷💛

I’ve been thinking nonstop about a post @nouverx made on March 3rd where Alastor asks “what country” the ace aro flag was, and my brain naturally made a meme about it.
Rosie jump-scared him with it one night in the December of 2016, and he said yes for the sake of his sanity (post 1933 world maps are hard, okay)

Phelan & Delano [centaur oc’s] being a happy couple 🌱💕
Thank you everyone so much for your support on my first Enamel Pin Kickstarter!!! I’ve made a little celebratory animation of reaching the first stretch goal of the campaign and making Delano’s [brown centaur] design available!
I had a lot of fun making this animation! It was challenging to work on; having two characters running and not making them look mechanic(?). I ended up not using a reference because I wanted to one-shot it (if that saved me time is very questionable lol..) so now whenever I focus too closely on Phelan I laugh because he looks like he’s running sideways like a crab 🦀
Thank you for reading my thoughts~ I hope you enjoy them <3
I love the with all my heart ♥♥♥

ed: i'm so happy, i could kiss you!
stede: um...neat.
*later*
stede, lying face down on their bed: i said "neat," izzy. who the fuck says neat these days? it's not neat to say neat but i said it anyways because i'm fucking stupid.
izzy, reading a book: don't beat yourself up too much, bonnet. everyone gets nervous sometimes. remember what i did when frenchie confessed his love for me?
stede: didn't you thank him?
izzy: *closes the book and looks at the ceiling* i fucking thanked him.

me when I first joined asoiaf fandom: How can you say you hate Theon but then love Sandor?
me now: How can you say you hate Tyrion but love Theon?
I do wonder when Theon will go back to being enemy number 1 on tumblr. All I know is, I'll still be here when it happens lmao

I love that Elminster Aumar - 20th level wizard, legendary hero of the realms - has really just been stumbling around drinking fucking rainwater this entire time.
