and call it family bonding
Being a dragon age fan is about trudging through the hell that is Origins’ 10 year old clunky and outdated game mechanics just so you can re-live that high of being fully immersed in an engaging and heart wrenching story
Extremely unusual Victorian perfume bottle in the shape of a sword, fitted with a ring to hang from a chatelaine.
A MOOD or what?
made by @theseavoices as a gift because i was sad about #tumblrgeddon
also a reminder this is the best place to stay in contact with fandom creators - there’s 7 million new invites being generated this month so lots of us will have them to give away
lol our society is so structured on binaries that people think cats are the opposite of dogs
we also regard dogs as “masculine” and cats as “feminine” to the point that it’s “weird” for men to love cats, women and gay men are stereotyped as liking cats, and creepiest of all, cats are stereotyped as “sexy” animals
Im 100% grossed out by this
this fits into my confusion as to why it’s perfectly acceptable to hate cats but blasphemy to hate dogs
That last comment just fucked me up
If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”
Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.
“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”
The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

So there’s this really great fanfic called I’d Trade My Life For Yours where Shuichi covers for Kaede and gets voted as the culprit of the first case. This comic is the scene where he is then horribly executed and dies a painful death.
It’s a really good fic, and if you haven’t checked it out already, I highly recommend it! There are full game spoilers throughout the story and in the comments, so only read it if you’ve beaten the entire game. This scene in particular got to me (it helps that Shuichi’s my favorite DRV3 character), and I wanted to practice comic-ing out an action scene, so win-win!
