Second Attempt At Water Marbling. Designs Were Still Kind Of Meh, But I Loved These Colours Together.

psh, who said dean and seamus aren’t canon.

WTF this is too cute. Never really gave much thought to Seamus and Dean, but if I didn't ship it before, I sure do now!

Oh ha, I guess I should have clarified that the pseudo-science I'm talking about specifically is the in-book explanation that ~solar radiation~ powerful enough to wipe out most white people somehow left PoCs mostly intact. I mean, the narrative itself mentions off-handedly that 'coals' can get skin cancer on occasion, but aside from being just illogical and stupid, the idea that a PoCs melanin protects them from radiation powerful enough to kill most of the poor delicate white people just seems so damn skeevy and racist in a really antiquated way.

So I just wanted to put it out there that aside from being incorrect pseudo-science, the whole concept of Black people’s melanin protecting them from skin cancer reeks of social darwinism. :/

Oh hey, Teddy. What's up? Just speaking thruths and reminding me why I love you? Cool, cool, I'm just gonna be sitting over here, trying to contain my fondness.

Latest water marble. I can't believe I didn't take any pictures of any of the stripey or flowery water marbles I've done, and I really wish I had a better camera to take pictures of this design, because these pictures don't really do it justice. I was trying for a sort of peacock-inspired swirl here, and I am beyond pleased with the result!

Colours used: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Golden-I, OPI Thanks a Windmillion, OPI Fly, and China Glaze Man Hunt

ficlet: the attempted rescue of her royal highness, the princess brittany s. pierce (klaine au fridays, fairy tales)

(thanks to the fair lady jenny for the quick read-over and titling assistance!)

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a princess who was kidnapped; snatched right off her unicorn by an evil witch, who left her trapped in a tower out of spite. This tower — as towers often are — was guarded by a dragon, a cruel, yellow beast with snapping jaws, who the townsfolk called Murphy.

The King and the Queen were desperate to see the safe return of their daughter, and offered her hand in marriage to any knight who could slay the dragon and rescue the princess from her tower prison. Knights from all over the realm flocked to the base of the tower, in the hope that they would be the one to succeed. A line of knights stretched for half a mile, all along the bridge that led to the tower and beyond, into the edges of the haunted wood that surrounded it. (Because a tower must always be surrounded by a haunted wood, of course.)

Unfortunately for those brave knights, Murphy the dragon was a nasty creature, an enemy of joy and true love who rained fire and dragonpiss on those who sought to enter the tower. One by one, the knights fell or fled, and the princess could do no more than wave from her window, shouting encouragement or condolences as needed.

Close to the end of the line, still patiently awaiting his turn, was a curly-haired knight, small of stature with eyes of hazel, clad in golden armor bedecked with enameled songbirds perched upon his shoulders. Even late in the afternoon, the day was hot and sunny, and the knight turned to the knight behind him, wiping a drop of sweat from his brow.

Agreeing with all points and also just wanted to say that Kurt accidentally pulling a Jesse St. James on Blaine has been my favourite headcanon since I started noticing the parallels.

... According to Ausiello, he's only missing ONE episode. And the only episode he's missing is the one that focuses on guest star Ricky Martin, soooooo there would have been little to no Klaine there anyway. IDK man, I'll miss the cute background moments, but it's more than made up for to see Darren living a dream he couldn't imagine being given the chance to a year ago.

Darren is going to miss so much episodes of Glee, because of How to Succeed. You know what that means? NO KLAINE!

I actually found this really helpful.

I have never heard the expression Genderqueer before.

This is both cute AND informative. =D

Here is why I ship Kurt/Blaine:

I like that Blaine is Kurt’s intellectual equal. Kurt needs someone who can not only keep up with him, but someone he can’t steamroll over, either. I like that Blaine had Kurt’s back, but Kurt intervened between him and Karofsky when necessary. He doesn’t need a White Knight to protect him from everything and to fight his battles for him. He needs a partner.

I don’t want to see Kurt as his love interest’s mentor guiding him through the coming out process. I don’t want him to deal with the burden of someone else’s sexual identity crisis, at least not as a springboard into a romantic relationship. Not at this point, after what he’s been through this season. I think there is more than enough conflict inherent in being one half of an out gay teenage couple without needing to add that to the mix.

I like that, assuming Blaine has feelings for Kurt, he is holding them back in order to be what Kurt needs most right now— a friend. That he understands how important that is for Kurt. I like that Kurt’s approach to Blaine is different than it was with either Finn or Sam; he isn’t pushing, he isn’t trying to force anything, even though this is the first time he knows things could actually work out in his favor. And maybe that’s what makes things different— for the first time he has something to lose.

I like the way their voices blend. I like how Kurt swats Blaine playfully on the shoulder over dinner like it’s nothing, when we all know what being able to touch a boy even in such a small way means to him, and what it means that Blaine doesn’t bat an eyelash. I like how Blaine is the only one to laugh at Kurt’s questionable dead bird joke. I like the way Blaine’s eyes fall to Kurt’s mouth when he sings to him. I like the way Kurt’s gaze follows Blaine as he walks out of the room and the way his lips press together.

I like that Blaine not only indulges but shares some of Kurt’s interests and passions— whether it’s performing or Vogue covers or Patti LuPone or gay rights. I like that Blaine is someone Kurt lets his guard down around in a way we haven’t seen him with anyone except for his father. I like that Blaine is honest about what he thinks, even when it hurts, and even when he’s wrong. I like that Kurt engages Blaine as an equal because he knows Blaine is not someone he can easily derail or manipulate, and because Blaine is someone he respects. I like that Blaine may have the best intentions in the world but he doesn’t have all the answers he thinks he does, and that Kurt has more strength than he knows, and eventually they will realize this about each other and themselves.

I like that whatever happens between them, these are two people who have something to learn from each other.

I love and agree with everything this post chooses to be.
