One hundred years in the future, humans have saved the bees…a little too well. Now it’s our turn to be saved from the bees.

alternatively: we saved the bees, and they knew it, and were grateful; now, when we’re in serious trouble, they’re doing their best to save us.

idea: selina kyle as a reverse archeologist. she steals from museums and private collections and returns things to the shrines and graves where they belong. she brings a clay jaguar to monte alban and now she can talk to cats. the whip is because she’s indiana jones. batman makes half-assed attempts to stop her but it’s not like she’s wrong so like ¯_(ツ)_/¯ he’s got violent crimes to deal with, what does he care if she’s stealing back smuggled relics from rich assholes. he met that guy at a party once and he was a huge asshole so fuck him. steal his toupee, too. it’s probably endangered. ‘oh no catwoman is escaping and there’s nothing we can do. robin sit back down. there’s nothing we can do. she’s taking that statue back to egypt and we have no possible recourse against this terrible nonviolent crime with a single dick victim. i am definitely really mad about this. i’ll fight her later, when you’re sleeping or at a friend’s house or something. you’ll understand when you’re older.’

so far this post has been reblogged by one single dude who was super offended by the idea of putting relics back where they came from, and a legitimately shocking number of hype archaeology majors who aspire to working primarily in repatriation.

I found you

  1. Giggling like a child, without a trace of past sadness

  3. Covered in a pile of crisp autumn leaves
  4. Sand covering your toes, ocean waves crashing into a lullaby at sunset

  6. Tears streaming down your cheeks, pain hidden from me once again
  7. With the stuffed animal I won for you at the festival
  8. Moonlight reflected in your eyes, balcony overlooking the sky
  9. Hand buried inside of your underwear, my name whimpered on your lips
  10. Planning a surprise party for me
  11. Bloody and bruised in a strange alleyway, so far from home 
  12. Snuggling with my jacket, peacefully asleep
  13. Petting a small dog, being ridiculously cute
  14. Ordering ice cream for us both, and spilling yours
  15. In bed with someone else, screaming their name instead of my own
  16. In the bathroom at a formal event, crying in the bathroom over how you saw yourself as ugly
  17. At the park, resting in the grass with no care in the world
  18. Waiting for me
  19. Drunk, at the end of your rope
  20. In a bubble bath you filled for us both
  21. With a broken ankle
  22. In a place you should have never been
  23. Looking like an angel
  24. Sunbathing by the pool on a lazy Sunday afternoon
  25. Far too late
  26. Gasping for air
  27. Wide awake, unable to sleep without me
  28. Panicking, our child about to be delivered
  29. Before everything changed
  30. Trying on your favorite outfit, air escaping from my lungs in wonder
  31. Grasping to hold onto me
  32. With a blush on your cheeks
  33. Tickling my sides
  34. In a pool of your own blood
  35. After many years
  36. Your eyes heavy, nightmares robbing you of sleep
  37. Angry at me, refusing to look me in the eyes
  38. Screaming in terror 
  39. Dancing under the stars, myself watching with your reflection sparkling in my eyes
  40. At the happiest you had ever been
  41. While dressing for our wedding
  42. Chasing butterflies
  43. Watching me while I sweat from exercising
  44. Baking pastries for me
  45. While you were dying
  46. A snowflake on your nose
  47. Where I should have been looking in the first place
  48. Before my last breath
  49. In another universe
  50. In the afterlife

these are so pretty,,,

Things I love about the “villain turns good” trope:

marvelsoul:

pitviperofdoom:

  • Ex-villains graduating to “weird
    uncle” status.
  • Ex-villains and hero(es) turning the
    events of previous battles into bizarre inside jokes.
  • Ex-villains embracing the power of
    friendship and love.
  • Ex-villains putting up walls and
    keeping to themselves until the heroes teach them what it means to
    trust someone.
  • Ex-villains messing up and being
    forgiven because redemption is a process, not an endgame.
  • Ex-villains being shy and uncertain
    about their new place as a hero.
    • Bonus: Ex-villains hiding behind their
      hero friends during moments of shyness and uncertainty.
  • Ex-villains being tempted back to the
    dark side only to realize how much their newfound friendships mean to
    them.
  • Ex-villains pretending to return to the
    dark side, and using their villain cred to be a mole/saboteur on the
    heroes’ behalf.
  • Ex-villains taking the same skills and
    character traits that made them effective villains and using them for
    good.
    • Ex-villains defeating current villains
      by being better at those skills and traits
      than they are.
  • Ex-villains being rejected by almost
    everyone except the very few willing to give them the benefit of the
    doubt.
    • Ex-villains being ferociously
      protective of those few.
  • Ex-villains convincing old allies and friends to follow them to the light side.
  • Ex-villains helping their hero friends
    through guilt and self-doubt by reminding them that your mistakes don’t
    make you and it’s never too late to turn things around.
  • Ex-villains receiving unconditional
    trust and affection from someone small and innocent, and having no
    idea what they’re supposed to do with that.
  • Ex-villains reuniting with heroic loved ones that they don’t have to fight against anymore.
  • Ex-villains looking around at their new
    friends and their new home and having to sit down and ride out a
    sudden wave of powerful emotion because they can’t remember the last
    time they felt content.

aka a list of things I want to read, some of which I can’t be bothered to write because I have too many projects already

disclaimer because i know someone is going to complain: this is my personal wishlist that i’m sharing to help inspire some story ideas so if something you want is absent from this list then make your own damn list and remind yourself that i am not a robot servant who caters to your every want

  1. An accurate portrayal of a banshee
  2. Gay and bi male characters who have strong friendships and emotional connections with other men without being attracted to them/in love with them (half of this is dependent on how fans (especially female fans) interpret the relationship)
  3. Medieval fantasy inspired by the Gaels, i.e. the actual Gaels, not the crap you see in the “Celtic” tag on tumblr
  4. Slavic-inspired medieval fantasy
  5. Related to #3, I’d like to see tanistry in medieval fantasy because I’m sick of primogeniture-based conflicts
  6. Something with ancient Carthage
  7. A hunter-gatherer population with ascribed status, i.e. people are born into different social classes (this is uncommon for nomadic, foraging populations)
  8. More detailed world building, e.g. people choosing the more expensive yet less functional/weaker material to build their house because it reflects that they have money, or gardens in a dry/desert environment being a sign of status and wealth
  9. Masculine gay male characters who don’t [insert super-feminine thing here] in one scene so that the writer can introduce some comic relief/prove to the audience that he really is gay 
  10. Straight male characters who are feminine
  11. Lgbt+ characters who are apathetic about being lgbt+
  12. Gay/bi male characters who don’t have any love interests/romantic subplots
  13. Welsh-based names in a fantasy that are actually Welsh-based and not just English names or keyboard smashes with excess Ys and DDs and Ws and Fs.
  14. A male witch in a contemporary setting who isn’t dark and mysterious and who doesn’t have to be feminine to believably engage in something typically associated with women
  15. True gray morality. I want to be fighting myself over which side I agree with. Every side should have really good and really bad reasons for doing what they’re going. They should have both positive and negative consequences if they reach their goal. All sides should have characters we love and characters we hate. No character should be wholly or mostly “good” or “evil”. All of their reasons, their goals, their actions, and their consequences should differ and should have both negative and positive effects.
  16. I want the “chosen one” to lose. Badly. I want them to get their ass kicked and I don’t want them to have a comeback.
  17. A fight to the death where the reader desperately wants both characters to live. And none of this “oh, we found a way for both of them to live!” crap. I want someone dead.
  18. I need some antagonists that I actually hate. Like Umbridge. Or Delilah (Dishonored). Or Joffrey.
  19. Overweight male characters WHO AREN’T SUPER TALL.
  20. I want the Hagrids and the McGonagalls and the Mr and Mrs Weasleys of the world to betray the protagonist. Give me that character who is obviously trustworthy and rip my heart out.
  21. I need fantasy worlds to give actual names to places. “The Great Sea” and “The Dark Forest” and “The Central River” and “West Plains” and “Southwestia” are crap names. I know that there are some places in our world that are actually called stuff like this, but when you’re writing fantasy you have every chance in the world to come up with something better.
  22. Why is everyone always late to something at the start of a story? Stop being late. Wake up earlier. If your little brother is holding you back then say “sucks for you” and go on without him.
  23. Your grandfather’s sword is rusty and dull and the pommel fell off. Just let it die. Just get a new sword. A better sword.
  24. I want a protagonist who has already left home. They’re not on an adventure yet or anything. They’re just “in between” places right now. Or maybe they just like to always be on the move. Or maybe they’re a hunter and only have temporary homes.
  25. Dwarves without beards and elves without pointy ears.
  26. I want the protagonist to upgrade as they get better at whatever it is they do. Sure, there’s sentimental value in The First Sword or The First Horse, but there are better things out there. Longer-lasting things. Play some video games and take a damn hint.
  27. Good, detailed world building. I want the world to feel real yet unfamiliar.
  28. Worlds that exist with little context. They just are. They’re just magical, nonsensical places that still seem to make sense by themselves.
  29. Put the magic back in fantasy. I want rare magical plants with glowing sap within the stem that hardens and shatters into a few precious gems. I want these gems to have a 10% chance of granting a small wish before turning into a rainbow diamond and a 90% chance of exploding into a pinch of orange dust that, once you’ve gathered enough, can be used in a healing cream.
  30. Happy sci-fi.
  31. Fat characters who aren’t dumb/evil/killed off immediately/portrayed as pathetic losers.
  32. I want things to change within the story. I don’t want them to be magically resurrected.restored because the author can’t seem to let go.
  33. YA that takes place during a long school break, like summer break or winter break, so that nothing takes place during school.
  34. Flip the trend: male characters use stealth/non-violence to settle conflicts, women use violence.
