We’ll find you Amanda.

I’m still technically a teenager, though. But only for, like, five more months.

Okay seriously. Reblog if you're OLDER than 11.

Sorry darling I don’t make the rules

"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this.

Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this: the Imperial need for control is desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.

And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

Remember this. Try."

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Leverage Con Names

This a list of all the cons/scams/grifts that the Leverage team names during the show. Included is everything from a small one-on-one interaction between a grifter and a mark (eg. Little Orphan Annie) to full blown multilevel integrated cons (eg. The White Rabbit). If it had a name, it’s here.

If it has a black star beside it, it has a canon explanation or demonstration (eg. The Moonwalking Bear). If it has a white star, there were hints or comparisons made about it (eg. The Apple Pie is “like the Cherry Pie, but with lifeguards”). If it’s hyperlinked, it’s a real life scam and the link is to Wikipedia. If it’s totally unmarked, then the name was mentioned but never elaborated upon and is a part of the team’s beautiful argot. :)

My last two brain cells. (REAL)

Then I’d say you skipped 2x02 and 2x05 and 2x09 and 2x17 and 2x22 and 3x11 at the very least, in just the first two and a half seasons.

I can understand why some people might not like Regina, even though personally I love her, but she loves Henry, and she proves it over and over and over and over again. Seriously, the writers really hammered it home, and if you missed that, I’m sorry but you’re just inventing more reasons to hate her.

Episode explanations beneath the cut.

2x02 - she lets him choose who to live with, and when it isn’t her, she respects his choice

2x05 - she gives up magic and goes to therapy to be better for him

2x09 - she undoes the death curse, despite the fact that her mother, who she is terrified of might come through, because Henry asked

2x17 - she destroys the spell that would let her keep him forever because he asks

2x22 - she slows the trigger at the cost of her own life so that he can have his family (because let’s be real, she doesn’t really care about anyone else in the town yet)

3x11 - she gives him up forever (or at least she thinks forever) to stop Pan’s Curse, and gives him and Emma a lifetime of memories so that they’ll be happy

what if i say that regina never loved henry as a person but as possession she could have!

Read this as ‘watching one gay torture another gay to the brink of death’ and I would like to submit a proposal to official change the post

idk about you but personally...i'm feeling like i wanna cause some damage 😏
