I have been here several times and never seen it lit up like this. It's actually a much darker, more atmospheric place. This picture doesn't do it the slightest justice.
Basilica Cistern (by maxunterwegs)
The Basilica Cistern (Turkish: Yerebatan Sarayı - “Sunken Palace”, or Yerebatan Sarnıcı - “Sunken Cistern”), is the largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that lie beneath the city of Istanbul (formerly Constantinople), Turkey. The cistern, located 500 feet (150 m) southwest of the Hagia Sophia on the historical peninsula of Sarayburnu, was built in the 6th century during the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I.

Korean artist Yong Ho Ji makes amazing sculptures out of used tires.
This was on display at the Fairmont Bab al Bahr right here in Abu Dhabi...the coolest thing is that it is 'life size' for a Minotaur...about 8 feet tall.
this is the hero's journey!!!
Kim’s intelligent and well thought out response:
Thor, honey, we gotta talk about this tendency of yours to be non-conned/coerced into having sex.
Chapters: 1/5 Fandom: Fast and the Furious Series Rating: Explicit Warnings: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Rape/Non-Con Relationships: Brian O'Conner/Dominic Toretto Characters: Brian O'Conner, Dominic Toretto Additional Tags: Alternate Universe Summary:
At the end of Fast & Furious, Dom doesn't run....what if Brian had persuaded him? To get back in the good graces of the Feds, he goes undercover in prison. My homage to 'Caged'.
Warning: racist language....is just the tip of the iceberg.
I'm a fan.
Penultimate chapter is always the best chapter, IMHO.
Also it becomes very necessary to have read the first story: the Song Unsung.
Alright, first things first, WARNINGS, in various combinations: possible spoilers, slavery, racial slurs, war, Holocaust references, implied underage, implied incest, intoxication, underage drinking.
Problem: want to create something, but don’t feel like drawing. Solution: make mock book designs of favourite fanfics for type practice. Consider this to be the cousin of this series. Typography isn’t my forte, but hopefully there shouldn’t be too many atrocious choices made there. Do drop a note if that isn’t the case OTL In retrospect, most of these would probably not make very good covers because they’re on the understated side, but then again, I wouldn’t want curious visitors going through my bookshelves to get too curious either.
Links to the fics: 10th Century Boys series by khaleesian - Powered historical AU with VIKINGS. You can’t go wrong with that.
Father Charles series by Yahtzee - Sensitively-written, non-preachy, non-bashing fic on religion? Yes, that is possible. Also one of the very few kidfics I enjoy reading in this fandom, which is quite a feat tbh.
fool me once, fool me twice by musical emjay - Two broken people in a quietly destructive relationship. Will rip your heart to shreds.
A Deeper Season by etirabys - Will also rip your heart to shreds, but will attempt to patch it up afterwards.
Chapters: 5/5 Fandom: Thor - All Media Types Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con Relationships: Loki/Thor Characters: Sif, Volstagg (Marvel), Frigga (Marvel), Tyr, Hel | Hela, Hogun (Marvel), Fandral (Marvel), Odin Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Thor Feels, Loki Angst, Loki Does What He Wants, Angst with a Happy Ending, This might hurt a little Series: Part 2 of Norse of a different color Summary:
Sequel to ‘the Song Unsung’ and it would be essential to read that first. AND LOOK UP AT THE WARNINGS. ALL OF THE WARNINGS. This story will end well but it will be a time getting there. You are just, as Loki would say, going to have to trust me.
X-Men
Avengers (that includes any of the individual characters movies)
Batman
Star Trek
Star Wars
And pretty much anything that’s action or targeted to guys
A guy friend of mine today said it was weird that my friend had all the X-Men movies because she was a girl. Needless to say we almost threw him out of the car. So I would like to prove to him that just because we have vagina’s that doesn’t impair us from enjoying an action film.
Women of tumblr please back me up.
Cappadocia in Turkey...is my best guess.
