I made Merlin gifset and I hate it
Okay, I took a nap and I'm redoing some of it and then I'll post it. I don't like wasting my time on something I don't even post
idk what are tumblr followers count nowadays but. . 3k?
I just realised I don’t know if I’m supposed to answer with the correct number? :D Like, it’s way larger but that just shows that it doesn’t matter because I’ve been on this site for over 9 years now, most of my followers are probably inactive. My activity is not that high, really. Just another proof of just how much it doesn’t matter.

you should tell your co-worker about her mistake. if you dont want to tell her directly maybe you could ask something about it so she'll realize it on her own. sorry for butting in
She won’t realize it. I can tell her now or I can tell her tomorrow morning
I’m going to tell her tomorrow morning. this isn’t the first time she screw up this month. She would be too stressed to even sleep. Thanks for the advice. I’m just glad I don’t have to report it.

looking for non-American books!
Little statistics before I get to the point: I read 30 books this year; half of them were by American authors; 1/3 were written by Poles (I read more Polish books than I expected tbh). Which leaves me with one French non-fiction book, one Russian classic, one set of stories by Chinese-American and one Mongolian 13-th century chronicle (”The secret history of Mongols” which was amazing to read btw!)
I looked then at my Goodreads “read” list and decided: that’s it. No more American authors for me next year. And it’s not that I despise American literature or anything: as in every country, there are very good and very bad books. So it’s really not as much about quality, as it is about way of story-telling and establishing story structure and simply: way of seeing the world. And I realised I won’t be getting enough diversity of that if I stay inside one - even if vast and diverse itself - country.
And besides, we are so surrounded by American mainstream media EVERY day and yet, new technologies and especially e-books allow us to reach books that were previously not possible to get in some countries, so why not use these possibilities?
So I kindly ask you to recommend me some books written by non-Americans, if you know any. They can be classics, contemporary, fantasy, YA, I don’t really care. There is only one obvious condition: they must be translated either into English or Polish or eventually German (if they don’t include a difficult kind of language).
So far I have on my list:
- Joseph Conrad “Serce ciemności”, project by Jacek Dukaj
- Andrzej Sapkowski “The last wish” (re-read to see with fresh eye what this phenomenon is about)
- Jakub Żulczyk “Ślepnąc od świateł”
- Dmitry Glukhovsky “Metro 2033″ (I wanted to read this for a long time tbh)
- Svetlana Alexievich “War does not have a woman’s face”
- Kazuo Ishiguro “The buried giant”
- Jhumpa Lahiri “The lowland”
- Ida Linde “Om jag glömmer dig blir jag en annan“ (in Polish translation)
- Raija Siekkinen “Se tapahtui täällä”
- Leena Krohn “Tainaron”
- Johanna Sinisalo “Ennen päivänlaskua ei voi” and two other Finnish books I bought some weeks ago (all in Polish translations)
Pls recommend me some more titles so I can fill this list up to 30 books! : )
If you are interested in Czech books, I Served the King of England by Bohumil Hrabal is one of my favouritest or anything by Karel Čapek, his plays especially are really good ( The Mother, R.U.R.)

Hi guys, I was asked about this psd so here it is ;) I wouldn’t recommend using it on too dark scenes. Feel free to use it as much as you like, no need for credit unless someone directly asks you, just like or reblog if you’re downloading. Mediafire (x)
(about this gifset of yours) but it has the prettiest coloring of them all I'm not kidding, I was just about to message you anyway about how pretty this coloring is, I love it
Really? Thank you :) I was considering publishing it but it mostly works on really light scenes so I don't know. It's not my usual coloring, I like vibrant colors :D
