Please Don't Send Me Chain Mail Stuff! Even When It's Positive It, The Whole Chain Mail Thing Has Such

Every post where it says “history books leave this out” and “historians are trying to hide this from us” is just code for “I have literally never picked up a history book outside of high school history class in my entire life”

So I had a great time at the con today! The baby con I first went to two years ago is really growing up! These pictures were from the competition. Sadly, I didn't place, and I feel a little cheated considering some of the winners but! I'm not the kind of person to get hung up on these things. Everyone did a good job and I'm happy I got to be apart of it! I got to talk to one of the judges! I told him how I designed the things and he asked if I wanted to go into costume design and I showed him my pirate England cosplay and he thought it was great. I am happy. Very tired. Goodnight.

So I drew Keith in the same au as the last post! I went with the theory of him being half Galra and half Altean, which is why his ears are the way they are. Pidge calls him Night Kitty.

He’s not an orphan at the beginning but his father was a spy and his mother is eventually killed because of it. Keith wasn’t killed too because he was in the castle with the others.

Menachem Bluming Muses: How to Explain Death to Children After Grandpa’s Passing

Remember when your little brother was born? After being in your mother’s tummy for such a long time, he finally came out to be with you and the family. How exciting. You’d been waiting for so long to meet him and play with him, and then he finally arrived.

Your baby brother was very comfortable inside mummy’s tummy, where it’s warm and he had everything he needed. But he couldn’t stay there forever.  When it was time, he came out to be with you.

In a strange way, death is similar to birth. We leave the world we know and enter the great unknown world outside.  All the people who have passed away are in that peaceful and happy place. Just as you were waiting for your brother to come and be with you, the souls of past generations were waiting for your grandfather to join them. Now they are all together. We miss them. But there’s nothing to be scared of.

Remember you used to talk to your baby brother, even before he was born? He heard you, though he couldn’t answer and you couldn’t see him. You can talk to your grandfather too. And you can send him a present. Every time you do something good, listen to your parents, do a mitzvah, give charity, learn Torah, think how proud your grandfather would be. At that moment, his soul in heaven gets a good feeling, a gift from you.

Just like he smiled every time you visited him, his soul smiles every time you think: “Grandpa would love seeing me do this."  So keep on making him proud.

“they couldn’t make the Maximoffs Jewish because they can’t make any reference to Magneto”

did u kno…. magneto is not the only jewish person in the world……

every now and then i have to think of the roman family from two thousand years ago that buried their little daughter in a boy’s athletic-themed sarcophagus and i weep a little because that’s the softest declaration of love i can possibly imagine

Again, if you follow me for starkid or other fandom stuff, follow @r-we-taire-yet because I actually post things on there. This blog is only used occasionally for random history stuff because I'm going into it as a career.

Poland and Italy's Friendship Explains A Thing

PIEROGI PIZZA! GREAT PIZZA! CHEESY POTATO AND ONION ON CRUST! My area is so German and Polish we have to put potatoes even our Italian food. Like, we have pierogies at every festival and kielbasa is served in school, also haluski, but all three can be found in both places, and they haven't had sauerkraut in either but you can find it at bake sales (???? Why? ?? Everything will taste like sauerkraut???) and everyone over fifty has their preferred way of making it. Basically, my area is vvv German and Polish and pierogi pizza is great. Haven't had any in ages, but it's great.
