So for no apparent reason I got this mental image of Loki rocking out to Nightwish with his sceptre. Here, have it for shits and giggles.
It is my headcanon now that Loki would totally be a metalhead - y’know, if he actually cared about our mortal music… Let’s see: longish hair, black leather longcoats, rooted in Scandinavian mythology (and we all know where the best metal bands come from, right?), and a sliding scale of glorious epicness and brooding. Yup. Totally a metalhead.
Eureka - Highland Sun
A catchy, bright and mellow tune; one of my all-time favourites.
Diagnosing Loki

Sponsored by our wacky, wacky notes for today’s medical terminology test, which pretty much Hulk’d us all.
Because it’s not like I have some freaking long and difficult text to read for tomorrow morning, nope.
This one goes with special dedication and wishes for kaylanorail to overcome her cold :)
Yes, yes, I know; posting pictures as soon as I consider them finished is bad and dangerous. I’ll regret it later, okay?
Reblogging because of reasons.

Travelling Lemon: Gdynia edition
As a part of the Lemons and Landmarks project, our lemon visited Gdynia - the younger and cooler sister of Gdansk.
Created by Martyna (camera & rig operator), Aga (landmark expert & the rig), and Sandra (lemon owner & the Great Absentee). From top, left:
… So, yeah. As for the message to Mr Finnemore… I just want to say a big loud THANK YOU for creating such a gem as Cabin Pressure and making us laugh even when life gives us lemons.
DID YOU KNOW:
The Little Mermaid was written as a love letter by Hans Christian Anderson to Edvard Collin. Anderson, upon hearing of Collin’s engagement to a young woman, proclaimed his love to him. He told him ”I long for you as though you were a beautiful Calabrian girl.” Edvard Collin turned Anderson down, disgusted. Anderson then wrote The Little Mermaid to symbolize his inability to have Collin just as a mermaid cannot be with a human. He sent it to Collin in 1936 and it goes down in history as one of the most profound love letters ever written.
Most scholars and psychoanalysts concluded that Anderson was bisexual; however, he never acted upon his homosexual drives.
The Little Mermaid, as it was originally written, did not have a happy ending.
AAAAWWWWWWWWW
Couldn’t find much sources on The Little Mermaid being based on this, but the thing about Hans Christian Anderson and Edvard Collin is true! Does anyone have any better sources on this?
IT’S HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN! NOT ANDERSON! It’s a touching story but, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF FICTION, SPELL HIS NAME RIGHT!
Holy cow. It’s downright heartbreaking ;A;
…Yes, the spelling too.
Seriously though; as a child, I always found Andersen’s stories rather bizarre and a bit disturbing. I know most of them wasn’t really even meant for children (plus, children those days were much tougher), but even when I grew up a little (I’ll never grow up for real, let’s face it) I felt a kind of strange atmosphere around some of his writings. And now I want to re-read them and check if it’s still there!
Sorry, profanacja, I haven’t noticed you tagged me .__.
