Video Footage Of Eagle Stealing Food From Fox

Quidditch Headcanon

So I’ve seen a few headcanons where someone yells out, “Knock on wood,” before a match and everyone whacks Oliver with their brooms

Whilst this very much amuses me, in Britain (or at least England) it’s more common to say ‘touch wood’

So I instead believe that they all yell this out and then either:

Pat his head in a really patronising manner

All solemnly put their hands on his shoulder whilst he looks beyond bewildered

Or  they all (lightly) slap him as quickly as they can

the knowing eye contact women make when men are talking is the purest human connection possible

I’m an Aquarius but, I can barely make a simple meal and a few cheesecakes. 

When the signs bake/cook

Aries: nearly burns down the entire kitchen

Taurus: an actual master chef

Gemini: they try so hard to make it perfect but screw some important detail up and get so frustrated they quit

Cancer: tries super hard but just ends up ruining everything

Leo: can’t even cook an egg

Virgo: at least they don’t burn the house down

Libra: can either be very good or very bad, there is no in between

Scorpio: surprisingly very good???

Sagittarius: think they are amazing, but rly it’s just toast and microwave meals

Capricorn: best salad chef ever

Aquarius: can literally make whatever they want

Pisces: end up injuring themselves

*with love and support*

please don’t forget and have a glass of water! 👌

The signs as three word descriptions based on people I know

Aries: tiptoe through chaos

Taurus: a pimpled goblin

Gemini: horny, but chic

Cancer: the sun’s sugar

Leo: stressed but blessed

Virgo: lovely and oblivious

Scorpio: don’t poke that

Sagittarius: don’t smoke that

Capricorn: deeply troubled flannel

Aquarius: that’s a fire-hazard

is that last comic you posted about a suicide note? I'm confused

One of the rituals from Victorian era’s cult of mourning: if a close loved one died, you’d order yourself some black bordered calling cards, note paper and envelopes. Your border’s width would be determined by how close you were to the deceased, how long you’d been in mourning, and how ostentatious you wanted to be.

Even newspapers followed this etiquette:

Vancouver Daily World, British Columbia, January 22, 1901:

The Guthrie Daily Leader, Oklahoma, September 14, 1901:

Anyway, to answer your question, I doubt it. Unless the guy’s brother was a big stickler for etiquette, pretty full of himself, or had a dark sense of humor, I don’t think you’d mail your own suicide note in a mourning envelope. And in that case it wouldn’t be a very funny comic.

(As an aside, in some places you couldn’t actually mail letters with full mourning borders. They were said to be easier to tamper with; edges could be cut and then coloured with dark ink, so ones that were tinted rather than full-black were also sold).

I’m pretty sure the joke is just that the guy isn’t very smart, and thinks the black border + the brother’s handwriting means his brother must be dead. Really his brother is just in mourning for someone else.
