auroargraves: an idea where Percival Graves only ever fucked people, but he had never kissed anyone.

via http://ift.tt/2nFH0bX

auroargraves:

an idea where Percival Graves only ever fucked people, but he had never kissed anyone before because kissing is something personal; a whole new level of intimacy. Kissing means affection, love, trust — all the soft bullshit that he doesn’t believe in.

Until Newt comes along.

Until Newt shows him that being stern and stoic and bitter are not going to cut it. Until Newt teaches Percival that trusting someone, opening up his heart is terrifying but also worthy as long as the other person is sincere and kind and willing to fight for him even when Percival keeps pushing to break free from this unfamiliar feelings wrapping around his heart.

But he can’t fight it. Doesn’t want to push it away anymore because Newt is good. Newt is kind. Newt is sincere and honest and Newt will never hurt him. Not deliberately. But he will never go out of his way to make sure that his words and actions will wound him, scarred him.

So Percival trusts; learns how to be soft because of Newt because Newt deserves it and so much more.

And when Percival tells Newt that he loves him; it is with trembling hands cradling Newt’s face, the tip of his nose nuzzling along Newt’s cheek and jawline; his tongue tasting sun on the freckled skin.

And when they kiss — when they kiss, it is something pure, soft; starting from the corner of Newt’s mouth like Percival is introducing himself again.

Saying hello.

When they tilt their heads to perfect the angle, it is the both of them saying, “there you are. I’ve finally found you.”

blairvoyant: Imagine paying $40 extra a month for Tumblr

blairvoyant:

Imagine paying $40 extra a month for Tumblr

That’s what is going to happen if we let Ajit Pai, the FCC chairman, go through with repealing Title II (AKA Net Neutrality).

Simply put, without Net Neutrality, Internet Service Providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T will be able to “bundle” websites much like cable ON TOP OF paying for internet connection. “Want access to Netflix AND Tumblr? Get the Entertainment Package! $40 a month. What about Amazon and Ebay? Add an extra $20 a month to get the Shopping Package.”

Not only will they be able to bundle websites and charge more, they will also be able to censor and block websites that they don’t agree with entirely.

THIS WILL BE THE END OF INTERNET AS WE KNOW IT.

For business owners, it will be even worse. Ex: Comcast will ask Amazon to pay high fees to be available in a low-cost package, fees that websites like Poshmark or Etsy will not be able to pay. Therefore, only Fortune 500’s will be available to web users at a low cost. Say goodbye to Etsy (unless you’re willing to shell out $70 a month for the “All-Inclusive” package).

To learn about Net Neutrality, why it’s important, and/or want tools to help you fight for Net Neutrality, visit BattleForTheNet (https://www.battleforthenet.com)

There are five people deciding the future of the internet, three men (Rep) and two women (Dem). The two women have come out as No votes. We need only to convince ONE of the other members to flip to a NO vote to save Net Neutrality.

There are many ways you can help:

WHAT TO DO IF YOU’RE A LAZY TUMBLR USER WITH ANXIETY WHO TRIES TO HELP WITH JUST REBLOGS / LIKES:

Here are 2 petitions to sign, one international and one exclusively US.

Missing Asks!

I FOUND IT! I FOUND THE ANSWER!

Okay, maybe not the final answer, but part of the problem! Asks keep getting eaten. Which is a big problem when you’re doing something anon and don’t want to ask the person “did you get it”? 

If the ask contains an ellipsis without a trailing space, it gets eaten. It says delivered, but it goes nowhere.

So “Well… then” will get delivered but “Well…then” won’t!

Hopefully this helps in getting your asks actually delivered.

Post I made for my RP account, but very relevant elsewhere.

After discovering this, I tested it. Five different accounts between two people, anon vs not. No matter what, without fail, if the trailing space was missing, the message was not delivered.

I contacted Tumblr staff. They were already fully aware this was happening, but it is not documented anywhere. Nor do they seem keen on giving their users a warning about it in any fashion.

Help me spread the word because the staff won’t!

WHAT EVEN THE HELL

Just found out this is a thing :D.. tested it, too.

Might answer some of the questions of why your asks aren’t answered, be aware.

A helpful note for all who send in asks! ^^

Someone once said to me, “I hope the pain eases soon.” It struck me as the purest blessing that had ever been offered over my head - I hope the pain eases soon. It’s so gentle, so kind, so hopeful. So to everyone who’s hurting: I see how hard you’re trying, and I hope your pain will ease soon.

Quick question on your Feanorian Obi-Wan, born entirely out of my desire to not leave Luke and Leia

via http://ift.tt/2DZezki

I imagine, if so, it goes something  like this:  Cody froze as the old man literally appeared in front of him.  The old man blinked up at him before he doubled over in some pain.  Cody rushed forward to help him, but even as he did so, the man was looking up again- and he wasn’t much older than twenty-five.  He had blond hair and blue eyes that looked familiar, and was already gaining the elvish air they all had.“What in the worlds…” the man breathed out.  In basic. 2/3

“Are you alright?” Cody asked, also in basic.  “Can you stand up?  We should get you to the city.”The man shook his head hard and stood up fluidly.  He looked down at his hands- nothing special about them- and flexed his right one in bemusement.   “Well then,” he said quietly.   “Apparently, the Force wasn’t done with me.” 3/3             

This is interesting! Thank you for the mini-fic; it’s thought-provoking and thoroughly intriguing!

I like to think that they have the option. Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padme et al - they cleared a path, a path that any in the Force might follow. And Obi-Wan impressed a pattern in the path, all unknowingly - a pattern to shape a new form, a new species.

…although I do like the idea that perhaps the Skywalkers, at least, might be able to walk in and out of the Force - to walk their old home as bodiless Force Spirits, and their new home as (elvish) flesh-and-blood…

malicious-code-103:

From making the discovery that “orannis” is the german pronunciation for Uranus, i did some digging and apparently the nine bright shiners are meant to represent the 9 planets in our solar system??

for example,

Orannis is Uranus, which among other things represents rebellion

Yrael/Mogget is Pluto, which represents transformation and a change in character

Kibeth/The Disreputable Dog is Jupiter, which is a guiding force meant to comfort you and bring you to your destination, as well as a source of optimism and luck

A king has no sons, no daughters, and no queen. For this reason he must decide who will take the throne after he dies. To do this he decides that he will give all of the children of the kingdom a single seed. Whichever child has the largest, most beautiful plant will earn the throne; this being a metaphor for the kingdom. At the end of the contest all of the children came to the palace with their enormous and beautiful plants in hand. After he looks at all of the children’s pots, he finally decides that the little girl with an empty pot will be the next Queen. Why did he choose this little girl over all of the other children with their beautiful plants.

The seeds were all dead (burned, fake, etc.).  The other kids cheated and got different seeds and planted them.  The little girl didn’t cheat and was not able to grow anything because the seed was dead.  She was the only one who didn’t cheat.

damn

Nothing like original fairy tales! 

i get the moral it’s trying to convey but that king is an idiot and the kingdom’s doomed. you don’t appoint an honest kid who will forthrightly admit a failure like that to leadership of a country, you put that kid in charge of like… the army, or something. the department of agriculture. 

i’d send out dead seeds, then appoint the kid with the biggest and most beautiful plant anyway. ideally the same kind of plant as the dead seeds were from. and ideally a kid with a really good pokerface. that kid knows:

a) how to perceive failure early (a well developed second plant means they knew how soon the first seeds should sprout and didn’t fuck around when they didn’t) 

b) how to fix the situation (a second plant of the same species means they got someone to help them identify the seeds and plant more, or are observant enough to do it themselves)

c) how to get the best people for a job in to do it (kids aren’t great gardeners. a beautiful science project probably means mom did all the work— just what you want from a child ruler and their regent)

all around, that kid (or their mom) is the kind of devious results-oriented bald-faced liar you want to go toe-to-toe with the lords of your country and the rulers of your neighbors. not a little kid who admits defeat so early and in a situation with such high stakes. ‘whoops i didn’t grow a plant’ sounds a lot less sweet when you phrase it like ‘i give up on ruling my country’. 

you know, i think i’d also send agents out to encourage the kids to destroy each other’s plants. let’s see who’s good at seige warfare, too.

Did Lord Vetinari write that post?

Either Havelock Vetinari, or his second cousin once removed, Niccolo Machiavelli.

Actually, this is the plot of a children’s book I read once upon a time - The Empty Pot, by Demi. It was published in 1996.
