annoying when shows set in the medieval period have the women with thier hair just long and unstyled and out . girl go put on your wimple girl 🤦♀️
like there are so many fun medieval hair and headgear options, it's so boring just seeing loose beachy waves meant to appeal to 21st century beauty standards

All my attacks from Art Fight 2026! It was so fun, i got to experiment with a super simple flat style, returning some revenges from this year and previous! So many lovely attacks on me too, thank you so much to everyone who did! Next year I'd like to focus on revenges, get my stats decent! It's so cool to see them all at once!
This page from one of my history books looks like a lesbian utopia.

The apocalypse has come and gone, and against all odds, Pharloom remains standing. The time has come for Hornet to return to Hallownest, accompanied by friends and allies: Shakra hopes to explore the mythical land beyond the wastes, and properly lay to rest a member of her own tribe; Lace fears unraveling without the aid of a Weaver, while contending with the immensity of a future free of her mother’s threads; and the Green Prince lives only only to spite the Citadel, passively seeking a more honorable end than might be found in the rubble of his homeland. Meanwhile, Hornet returns from Pharloom with magic and knowledge that might aid in the slow recovery of Hallownest and Deepnest–and perhaps offer the chance to call home the sibling she once thought lost to her forever.
[<<Prev] [Chapter 8] [Next>>]
Lace, Hollow, and Shakra are chilling together in the Queen's Gardens; meanwhile, it's time for more Mantis Politics! A look at what's happening with Deepnest, Hornet's immediate future plans, and Vise's leadership ability.
Also, the Green Prince has a bit of a crash out! It was probably a bit overdue...

Look at this crazy vanity table designed by Gaudí (picture from Wikimedia Commons, by user amadalvarez)
I tried to come up with text to put here, but I can’t. Just look at it! Someone had that in her house
good god, that fucks
Hat tip @kittensforbrowncoats !
ok, SOMEONE might correct me on this fact (plz feel free to!) but I've always heard that in cases like the Milà and the Batlló families, who commissioned Gaudí for their fanciful domiciles in the new fashionable avenue of Barcelona, some of the members of that upper class might resent a little living in a building that was a bit of a laughing stock.
Look for example, what the satirical magazine l'Esquella de la Torratxa made to mock the bizarre design of Milà's house!
Like many architects of the time, Gaudí designed everything that was supposed to be in the house. Outside, inside, furniture.
but perhaps tired of the curves of art nouveau (and of people whispering behind their back that their buildings looked like something a pastry chef could create), as soon as the fashion sensibilities changed and Art Nouveu was no longer in fashion, they renovated with great ardour and absolute indifference towards the works of art so unique and suitable for THEIR houses.
Just look at what they did to Casa Batlló... Gaudí would be spinning so hard in his grave if he saw, he would screw right through his crypt of Sagrada Familia and straight into the metro.
So... lots of ladies had killer vanity tables like that one.
And sadly, LOTS of them threw them away like worthless trash when they were not considered fashionable any longer...

fairytales which tell you to be both kind and clever fairytales that say to be kind is to be clever and to be clever is to be kind fairytales that say the cleverest thing you can ever do is choose kindness and that cruelty or thoughtlessness are always foolish but not kindness never kindness
you bring oil for the gate and food for the dog and clean out the oven and bake bread in it and the oven will hide you and the dog will not betray you and the gate will stay open for you and close on your pursuers, to be clever is just to know that if you are good in a world made of rules, goodness will be returned to you.
In [fairy tales], power is rarely the right tool for survival anyway. Rather the powerless thrive on alliances, often in the form of reciprocated acts of kindness —from beehives that were not raided, birds that were not killed but set free or fed, old women who were saluted with respect. Kindness sown among the meek is harvested in crisis.

I did a list of recs for horror SCPs, now here’s my list of recs for those of you who don’t necessarily like being scared! Some of these are funny, some heartwarming, and some just good storytelling.
There are a lot I remember but cannot find. I might add to this list if I track some down.
SCP-1557: Giraffe Hell This is the FUNNIEST SCP I have read in a LONG time and I don’t know why I have never heard of it
SCP-5270: Press X to Bear This is the one that made me actually cry a while back and I have not forgotten it
SCP-3289: Smile Not scary, but extremely sad. Makes my heart hurt.
SCP-4711: Inconvenience Store Exactly what it sounds like, and it’s hilarious
SCP-4254: Elvis? Okay, I really like this one for some reason, it is a Little creepy, but I don’t really consider it “horror” predominantly. Some SCPs have a narrative to them that resolves itself into some sort of realization that brings sense to previous things, and some of them are just “Wouldn’t it be fucked up if…” This, I think, is one of the latter.
SCP-4009: Big Brozart Is Watching You THIS IS SO WEIRD I DON’T UNDERSTAND AT ALL how would you even come up with the idea of writing this just WHAT
SCP-1171: HUMANS GO HOME This is a pretty popular one that is commonly recommended, but in case you haven’t read it: it’s an anomalous entity that is just racist toward humans. Incredibly funny.
SCP-2006: Too Spooky This one is also pretty popular. It is a little bit chilling when you think of the implications, but mostly just kinda hilarious.
SCP-3181: Lemme Get it Boneless An anomalous KFC where things are designated “boneless” or “not boneless” by seemingly arbitrary criteria, having little to do with bones.
SCP-3556: Durbal, the Rude Sticky Note Just a sticky note that is a complete asshole. Content warning for…a guy being emotionally abused by a sticky note? I don’t know, it’s kinda messed up. But still a funny read
SCP-4478: STAIRSCASE Short, kinda turned my brain inside out a little.
SCP-4048: We need to talk about your forklift certification If you choose to read one of the SCPs on this list, please let it be this one. One of the most hilarious articles on the site without a doubt.
SCP-586: Inscribable Object Some SCPs’ anomalous qualities affect the way that they can be described or that information can be shared about them—including the SCP articles themselves. Which means there are a lot of fun SCP articles that are “format screws” written and formatted in a way that implies that the SCP is influencing the article. This is a short and funny example.
SCP-1699: Inferior Volcano A funny and sort of cute SCP about a sentient volcano with self esteem issues.
SCP-2295: The Bear with a Heart of Patchwork BROKE my HEART
Some of the site’s best storytelling. I lied this one does have horror elements but it didn’t really fit in the other rec list, so here ya go.
SCP-3939: This is, like, Choose-Your-Own-SCP. It’s recommended to go through it a few times.
