Sometimes you’re just an introverted loser who sits alone in your room with a cup of tea and a book, has fantasies about morally grey fictional characters, is severely touch starved with a completely fucked up sleep schedule and slowly declining mental health.

The Lidérc [Hungarian folklore]

According to old Hungarian folklore, if you keep the first egg of a pitch-black hen warm under your arm until it hatches, the resulting chick will not be of a chicken but a lidérc. It will shapeshift into a creature closely resembling a human (but usually with one chicken foot) and will have sex with its owner, draining his life energy in the process. However, if the owner is a woman, the lidérc will suck her blood instead, which will cause diseases in the owner. In both cases, however, the creature will make a hoard of golden objects which it gets from an unknown source, making the owner rich. It will also perform labor and tasks that you ask it to do. Should you want to get rid of your lidérc, you have to ask it to perform an impossible task (like ‘tie a knot in a cloud’ or ‘empty all the water in this well using only a sieve’) in which case it will become so frustrated that it dies on the spot.

Another version of the story claims that the lidérc is a very tiny humanoid creature that may sometimes be found in your pocket, or in boxes or bottles. If you do own one of these, it is said your soul is taken by the creature, and you’re given supernatural powers in return.

Finally, some other stories claim the lidérc is an eldritch floating flame, but it is capable of assuming a human form once it touches the ground. Once it does so, its footprints will be those of a horse, despite having human feet. This creature is an omen of doom, as it brings illness and bad luck to those it encounters. Burning incense can keep it at bay and prevent if from entering one’s house. In eastern Hungary, this version of the creature haunts cemeteries at night but disappears without a trace as soon as the cry of a rooster is heard.

70 years of being a boss. Yeah

What is the meaning of life?

and just in case you thought she was lying...

tumblr is not instagram. likes on tumblr, while appreciated, are effectively useless in helping a creator reach a wider audience.

when you like something, it goes into your own personal folder. and chances are good that, even if it’s public, no one will see it.

likes do not get shared to the dashboard, where others can actually see and have the opportunity to engage.

liking a creation only really benefits you, and not the creator or the rest of the tumblr community!

likes are great for bookmarking, saving posts with the intent of a later reblog, engaging with certain posts that don’t need to be shared (ie. personal posts), posts that you are not comfortable sharing, and prepping a queue.

REBLOGGING is the best way to support a content creator!

reblogs boost attention and engagement. it actually allows for that content to be shared with others. which, really, is what tumblr is all about!

tldr; reblogs > likes. please don’t take content creators for granted. this site would be nothing without them!

This genocide is not just Netanyahu’s creation. This genocide is a state-funded terrorist machine propping up American imperialism and Israeli ethnosupremacy saturated by religious imperialism.

Blog #2 : Sorry

Why is that some people in life, mostly me, have to say they're sorry for the smallest things in life? Like you've committed a crime for asking a person to open the door for you when you've forgot your keys to the dorm house (that's actually happened to me. Yesterday.) I'm trying to change, but change is hard. Sorry

Oh my gosh. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! REALLY?! 😂😂😂😤😤😤

Proelium

“Jason.” Nico appears suddenly beside him. “Come spar with me.”

“Um, okay? But don’t you always practice with Will-”

“”We’re not currently talking,” Nico says shortly.

“Oh, I-” Jason flounders for a minute. Nico and Will bicker all the time but they have never had a fight fight (as far as he knows but he keeps very close tabs).

“Are you coming or not?” Nico growls impatiently, tapping his foot impatiently against the floor of the pavilion.

“Uh, yes?” Jason responds.

Nico turns around and stalks off and he hurries to follow him. He resolves not to think about Will and Nico’s fight. It’s probably their first big one, they’ll be alright in a day. ♦ 

They are not alright in a day.

The next day Jason happens to be talking to Percy nearby when Will storms past Nico, shoulder checking him on the way, without even a backward glance. Nico scowls at his back.

Jason and Percy exchange nervous glances. ♦ 

Two days later, Percy happens to be in the infirmary when Nico limps in with a gash on this right calf.

Will drags him to a bed, shoves everyone out of his way while getting supplies, and sets to work on Nico, his mouth shaped into a thin line.

Nico’s eyes are soft but he doesn’t say anything either.

Percy has never seen anyone being able to stitch someone up so aggressively but perfectly. ♦ 

Piper walks up to Nico four days later and says firmly, “You need to do something about Will.”

Nico scowls at her. “No.”

“He almost shot one of the Demeter kids today! He excels at archery. This is getting out of hand, Nico. You’re angry and moody all the time. Even the Hecate kids are afraid of breathing too loud when they walk past you. The Apollo cabin lost two points in the last cabin inspection because Will has been sulking and didn’t bother to clean, and everybody’s afraid of being the target of his surliness.”

“No.”

   Piper tries Will next.

“He’s so sad, Will. He keeps walking around like a dejected puppy.”

Will glowers at her. “Go away.”

Piper throws her hands up in the air exasperatedly. “What even happened between you two?”

“You can ask him.” He juts his chin towards their right, and she turns to see Nico walking in their direction.

“Come on-” She whirls around back to Will, but he’s gone. ♦ 

Annabeth walks up to him the next day and states, “Fix it.”

Nico glares at her.

Annabeth stares back, unimpressed.

“I want it done by tomorrow.” She walks away.

Nico escapes to Camp Jupiter that evening.     Reyna spots him almost as soon as he arrives.

“No,” she says shortly. “Go back home, Nico.”

Nico glares at her.

She shrugs. “Annabeth iris-mesaaged me and told me you were running from your problems.”

“I don’t want to go back,” he mutters petulantly.

“You’re going to have to, eventually. You look awful and he, he makes you happy, you know he does.”

He sighs unhappily. If Reyna’s saying something, he must look as pathetic as he feels.

Reyna’s eyes soften. “Stay for today, go back tomorrow. Let’s go join Hazel.”

She ruffles his hair and he swats her hand away, scowling. She laughs. ♦

“Fuck you,” is the first thing Will has to say to Nico when he comes back. 

He towers over him, glowering. “Seriously? You can’t deal with this so you run away? You complete and utter ass.”

“Well, you could have said something! Don’t act like you didn’t sulk like a kid too,” Nico yells.

“Yes, I did! Because you were wrong and were being unreasonable but you didn’t have to run away, you prick. I don’t love your opinions but I do love you!” Will shouts.

Nico stills.

“You do?” he asks, voice small.

“Hera knows why, but yes, yes I do.” Will’s voice has gone down, and his shoulders slump.

Nico grins at him, before reaching forward and grabbing a handful of Will’s shirt to pull him closer.

“I do too, you know,” he says softly.

“Duh,” Will says. Nico can see the beginning of a smile at the corners of his mouth so he leans forward to kiss it.

Will responds eagerly, and Nico can’t believe he went a week without this, without running his hand through Will’s hair, without feeling his hands all over him, without feeling like every part of his body is on fire, but so relaxed that he basically feel himself melting.

They have to break apart because they’re both smiling too much.

“I guess I can live with the fact that you like Hawkeye more than the Hulk,” Nico says, smiling.

Will grins at him.

“That’s what you were fighting about? I can’t believe you!” a voice shouts from behind him and they both turn to look at Jason, Piper and Percy standing.

“Uh, yeah. What did you think?” Will says, voice confused.

Piper and Percy continue to look at them with something akin to horror on their faces.

Jason glares at them, hissing, “I am a 100% done with this shit.” He stomps off.

Research on the Elongated Skulls

There is evidence of elongated skulls in many different places around the world. In Egypt, these skulls are often found in graves from the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. They are also found in Peru and have been used in religious ceremonies for centuries. In North America, many Native communities have traditionally worn these types of headdresses and jewelry. The presence of elongated skulls in ancient history proves that human anatomy has been changing for thousands of years.

The Egyptians appear to have used the elongated skulls as ornaments for their tombs. ‘‘The priests of the time believed that the gods would transfer their souls to the bodies of their ancestors after they died, so it was important to provide the deceased with nice things to help them reach the afterlife. They also may have had practical uses. They believed they used them to drain water from their underground temples, prone to flooding. The Indigenous people’s of Peru also used the elongated skulls as grave goods. Because they believed that the spirits of their dead ancestors resided inside the skulls, they were buried with these artifacts near the head of the body to aid their passage into the afterlife. According to the Inca civilization, it was up to the priests to pass judgment on whether or not a person was worthy enough to enter the afterlife. They also used the skulls for divination and a good luck charm to protect them from harm.’’

There are many theories about how elongated skulls came to exist. One theory is that they are the remains of an extinct race of people that lived on Earth thousands of years ago. These "giants" may have lived alongside the Native Americans or descended from an earlier human civilization during the Ice Age. Another theory is that they were created artificially using clay, metal, or wood molds. ‘‘As the Spanish colonized the Americas, many different cultures were exposed to new ideas about science and medicine. As a result, many of these people began experimenting with new ways to create artificial body parts. Besides tattooing, intentional scarring, piercing, and teeth sharpening, intentional cranial deformation is another form of mutilation of the human body and is associated with the cultural background of society. It has been related to religion, aestheticism, beauty, or facilitating tribal identity.’’
