I have watched this on repeat like twelve times. I can’t stop laughing.

For context, the very mild mannered gentleman who looks like Count Rugen might if he got to enjoy retirement is Christian Cameron. He writes historical fiction, fantasy and science fiction, and does a series of videos on how to write accurate historical combat. He’s an expert in this because he is a prolific re-enactor, and makes a lot of his own historical clothes using traditional methods. He ran a massive re-enactment in Greece last year, recreating the Battle of Plataea.

He’s an absolute delight, the conversations you have with this man will never go the way you expect. And when I ask for promo photos from him, instead of sending me things like this:

He send me things like this:

THANKS CHRISTIAN. VERY HELPFUL. NOTHING TO PROVE YOU’RE IN THERE BUT I’M SURE THAT’S FINE. MARKETING CAN WORK WITH THAT.

Anyway he’s a hoot but I also love that his videos are just him and his buddies pleasantly attempting to murder each other in slow motion to explain how it works.

So this feels… unreal. 

I am deeply uncomfortable asking for help, but between school expenses, injuring my back and having to cut back my work hours, and this unexpected death of someone near and dear to me, I am asking for support if anyone can help. If not, I understand, but I appreciate anything, even if it’s just kind words

#this is honestly how I initially thought hanahaki in fic worked #coughing up flowers for years because you won’t cop to your feelings? #that’s the stuff #the dying thing puts on really uncomfortable pressure for me #like ‘love me back or I’ll die’ is uncomfortable as hell for me #whereas ‘ADMIT YOU’RE IN LOVE YOU JUST COUGHED UP A BOUQUET!’ #hanahaki-suffering person: ‘no’

THIS IMMEDIATELY IMPROVES THE ENTIRE TROPE!  I had really disliked Hanahaki because it’s almost like the other person - if they’re a good person - is sorta blackmailed into either having feelings or being responsible for your death which is Not Romantic, but I can totally get down for FEELIGS made into an aggravating physical metaphor that you could potential deal with if you’d either confront them or get therapy or something.

It’s like how everyone with autoimmune disorders disappears during flu season! Except with even more drama.

chucktaylorupset:

Prof you fucking genius is it seasonal? Like it happens in spring cause the flowers bloom? Imagine it hitting hanahaki season and looking around a room and seeing whose missing, who’s out on sick leave, thr curiosity the DRAMA

Not enough chronic illness in fanfic. Shout-out to my folks who spend 6-8 weeks of the year in the hospital.

Terminal Hanaki? Boring. Chronic Hanahaki? Exciting.

This big ol flying cockroach abomination just tried to attack me but Vanilla swooped in and ate it. Thanks Vanilla.

The face of a skilled hunter.

Update: today Vanilla caught a huge grasshopper.

Vanilla is powerful and elegant

She ripped it limb for limb and ran around with bug entrails in her mouth for several minutes. I am intimidated.

Excellent dinosaurs

A woman traveling into the dark woods to an evil witch’s house to trade her firstborn child for selfish desires sounds a lot like a demonized version of a woman traveling to see a cunning woman to aid her with an unwanted pregnancy js

Holy shit….. this post is life changing
