#not only do I still go out #I use a Winnie the Pooh costume #it’s nice and warm on the chilly October night #and it’s very good age camouflage #I haven’t visibly aged since I was about twelve #and what nineteen-year-old would be seen in a Winnie the Pooh outfit? #(answer: one that wants candy) #(also it honours my favourite teddy)

#this is me out for a walk #being a Generic Passer-by #but remember folks #protagonists save the world #but without us NPCs it wouldn’t be worth saving #I am a coward and I suffer routine-withdrawal easily #I’m basically Bilbo Baggins without the saving grace of being able to think on my feet #I’m a flavour character #but that means that wherever I go I make the world a little richer #a little more vibrant #NPC pride #tag rambles #I’ve had this rant floating around my head for a while now actually

#file this episode under ‘what is there not to love?’ (agapi42)

It’s a plague plot. I don’t know about you, but I never completely recovered from watching the miniseries of The Stand as a kid.

Gregorian monks singing “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.”

EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND LISTEN TO THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW

Why is this a thing that exists?

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

I take it back; Monks are definitely cool.

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS AWESOME

MOTHER OF SWEET MERCIFUL DOG I AM GONE BYE

A song about loneliness being sung by a choir.

#the incongruity of it is an interesting effect #even before you get into the sound of it #also the album is called ‘Masters of Chant Chapter V’ #so clearly there’s a lot more where this came from #music #neat

Blow Out A Candle, Illuminate Your Mind

Featuring the stunning photos of Grover Schrayer, Kyle Hill shines light on a beauty you never knew existed: the waxbow.

The smoke that wafts from the just-extinguished wick of a candle is not mere ash and soot. It is a nearly-invisible cloud of vaporized droplets of wax. Head on over to But Not Simpler…to find out the physics behind this shimmering phenomenon.

A tidbit of wonder that’s been sitting under our noses, on our birthday cakes, this whole time. Keep your eyes open and your brains sharp … you never know when you’ll stumble on something amazing.
