if you tell ppl to kill themselves on the basis of what they enjoy in fiction you’re actually a worse person than you think they are, fun fact

dunno how to tell you that someone reading a book or drawing a picture you don’t like vs. you demanding they die is a lot different in terms of morality and consequence

Reblog and put in the tags how often you “clean” your tumblr account, deleting old posts.

one of my favourite linguistic phenomena/in-jokes is spanish potato chips being “ham-flavored, probably”

y’see because spain and portugal are so close, labels in stuff like food, shampoo, etc often come in portuguese as well as spanish

this brand of chips, Lay’s, displays the flavor in spanish and portuguese, resulting in ham-flavored chips looking like this:

with “jamón” being spanish and “presunto” being portuguese

however, “presunto” is also a spanish adjective, meaning “presumed” (or suspected)

so you have this in-joke going where spanish chips taste like ham, presumably

You’ve heard of “I can’t believe it’s not butter!” now get ready for “It’s questionable whether or not this is ham”

P️lease don’t ignore this post

Hi guys, me and my family are financially struggling. We can’t afford anything right now and we already sold most of our personal stuff but we’re stuck in the same situation and I’m currently unemployed. I know this is annoying but please if you could donate something it would mean the world to us, if you can’t please boost this post.

I don’t have venmo or cashapp, they don’t work internationally.

Can’t believe Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in the 2000s

And in 2015 Emily Brontë released literary clsssic Wuthering Heights

Thank God someone paved the way for them


if you think jk was the first woman author, you don’t actually care about women authors.

Mary Shelley didnt fuck on her parents graves for this level of disrespect

Murasaki Shikibu didn’t invent the novel for this.

Christine de Pizan did not sit down at her desk and write The Book of the City of Ladies, advocating for women’s education and finding value in women of all social classes and backgrounds, in 1405 for this.

This


.isn’t even true in 20th century fantasy or childrens books? Pierce, Lackey, Applegate, McCaffrey, Bradley, Butler, whomst?

Casual reminder that

  • a woman was the first known author/poet in 2300BC - Enheduanna
  • the first novel in recorded history was written by a woman in 1010AD - Murasaki Shikibu
  • the earliest example of science fiction was written by a woman in 1666 - Margaret Cavendish
  • horror science fiction was popularised by a teenage girl in 1818 - Mary Shelley
  • a Scotswoman expanded childrens’ stories from moralising tales into anarchic adventures in the mid 1800s, well before it became popular in the early 20th century - Catherine Sinclair
  • the masked/costumed hero archetype that inspired Batman and Zorro was created by a woman in 1905 - Baroness Emma Orczy
  • And while she is problematic as all get out, we all know who is to blame for popularising Boarding School fiction (which is a huge inspiration of She Who Must Not Be Named) from the 1930s onwards - Enid Blyton

And do I even need to mention what a badass pioneer Ursula Le Guin was for women author in the fantasy/sci-fi genre?

Not to mention Agatha Christie is literally second only to Shakespeare in terms of works sold – 4 billion compared to JKR’s paltry 500 million 

Mary Shelly did what
