Reblog4 hours ago with 23,572 notesI dont want sex, i want the things that lead up to it. The slow kissing then the passionate kissing, then the pulling closer, the neck kisses, the grabbing, biting, heavy breathing, grinding, the pauses while you catch your breath, feeling each other. Oh my.
Sex is nice too.
I was honestly expecting this to turn into a demonic sacrifice and now I’m disappointed

don’t you ever fucking forget that
This is your child before and after one year of exposure to a new street drug knows as “The Animes.” Police forces are still researching the sources of this substance, but it is known to be very addictive and its side effects are nearly irreversible.
Signs that your child may be under the influence of “The Animes” include:
- making an account on deviantART.com - While it appears innocent, this website is actually a black market for different types of “The Animes.” It contains the highest concentration of animes abusers worldwide.
- changing their typing habits - If your Honors student starts typing sentences that substitute “teh” for “the” or uses asterisks for actions (i.e., *noms on you XD*) or starts adding -chan to the end of names, “The Animes” have most likely gotten to a near-irreversible state that requires years of therapy.
- a sudden interest in Top Ramen - In it’s early stages, your child or loved one may request to eat instant ramen noodles up to a few times a week. At this stage, it is still possible to fix some of the damage “The Animes” have caused. However, if they begin using chopsticks with every meal, you may have no choice but to lock them in their room and confiscate all Hot Topic products.

95% of you won’t want this on your blog. Reblog if you’re the 5% who care about the victims of The Animes.
I’m not afraid to admit… I was once under the influence of The Animes. Please reblog this so people can learn to live barely active, nearly healthy lives again, like me.

Dido Elizabeth Belle
Scotland (1779)
oil on canvas
Scone Palace, Perth (private collection of the Earl of Mansfield)
Although this painting falls outside the usual scope of this blog, it is one of my favorite historical European paintings. Dido Elizabeth Belle was the illegitimate daughter of Admiral Sir John Lindsay and enslaved African woman named Belle.
This painting was most likely commissioned by her father, the nephew of the Earl of Mansfield, and depicts the beautiful and vivacious Belle alongside her cousin, Elizabeth Murray.
The first time I saw this painting was in an art history classroom, accompanied by a story regarding the dehumanization of Africans in the Unites States, and the scores of visiting Americans who were scandalized by this painting. In America and several places in Europe, contemporaneous paintings always depicted people considered Black in subservient positions in relation to people considered White, if they bothered to paint them at all. To raise a bastard daughter of color alongside legitimate heirs was antithetical to American thought.
Dido Belle was raised and educated alongside the other highborn daughters of the household, and remained a favorite of the Earl and her father well into her thirties, after which an advantageous marriage was arranged.
Her position in the Earl’s household supervising the poultry yards was typical for any lady of high birth at the time, but her job overseeing the lord’s correspondence was usually a task reserved for a highly educated male clerk or scribe and is evidence of her importance and elevated rank. She received an allowance of £30 per year, more than any except the heiress herself and a sum unheard of at the time for any illegitimate daughter.
Upon Lord Mansfield’s death in 1788, Belle was furnished with a £500 lump sum in addition to a £100 annuity, as well as a suitable marriage to John Davinier, with whom she had three children. In Mansfield’s will, her status as a free person was carefully confirmed, since many would have been all too happy to divest her of her fortune.
Belle died in 1804 and was interred in St. George’s Fields, the parish to which she and her husband belonged.
My interest in this story was renewed recently when I learned that an upcoming film, Belle (currently in production), will be a dramatized biopic of Dido Elizabeth Belle’s life. The titular role will be played by South African actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

Reblog5 hours ago with 42 notesI thought I would write my thoughts about Joffrey down in a half-hearted manner to give you a little insight into my feelings. I don’t know, it’s not really organized or anything, because I’m not that clever. These are just my feelings and I am not trying to justify his actions or woobie him in any way, but I would like to discuss some things about Joffrey in an analytical sense. (ugh, I hate having to write disclaimers, but I don’t want to offend anyone!)
Before I go on, I should mention I do have a background in working with children and children from difficult backgrounds so I might empathise with Joffrey in some respects but this comes from my line of work and I do not condone his behaviour or actions.
So, we all know that Joffrey is a sadistic and angry boy, who has no real moral grounding and enjoys tormenting others. He is spoiled and cowardly, he also makes a lot of iffy choices and lets his pride get in the way – all of these things together really create the shitstorm that is his life. Joffrey’s personality traits do not really make for the most pleasant person. His entitlement from being born a prince and later becoming king really amplifies everything. He is in no way a decent human being.
That being said, he is also not just a two-dimensional ‘villain’. It’s the same with Ramsay – these characters are so well written by GRRM, it’s almost insulting that people just lump these characters together as the ‘bad guys’ and don’t even talk about the motivations or reasoning behind their actions. Through Joffrey’s many flaws – he is still a very human character… a child who is struggling with his idea of what a king should and could be, struggling with his own pride and issues.
Like Ramsay, Joffrey wanted his ‘father’ to respect him and approve of him and Robert did not really want anything to do with him. Robert was also violent towards Joffrey and Cersei? “Robert hit the boy so hard I thought he’d killed him.” – now that isn’t just a reprimanding, that is physical abuse. Obviously, I’m not saying that physical abuse is an excuse to behave the way Joffrey does… I’m just saying that the physical abuse of anyone, especially a child, is wrong. I also believe the cold way that Robert treated both his wife and his son is emotional abuse. Joffrey grew up in an abusive and problematic home and this may have had an impact on his cognitive and emotional development. I always empathize with children from abusive homes, it comes with the line of work I’m in and that I love all children dearly.
It is made quite clear that Joffrey was born with these sadistic and violent tendencies, we can never be sure if this is due to the incest – though I feel as if it is implied that it is possible due to the ‘Targaryen Madness’ references throughout the series. I feel as though Cersei does not help matters by coddling and spoiling Joffrey. Cersei does not step in when she should; she lets him grow wild and unruly. The fault is not all with Cersei (or anyone) but she must bare some of the blame. It is completely expected that a child with no discipline who is given a very powerful position would exploit it.
I see you
