If you’re in need of ‘faith in humanity: restored’ news, a duck suddenly appeared on a remote island in the Pacific and no one’s sure how he even made it (the closest landmass, New Zealand, is about 1700 miles away) but, like, the entire population is now devoted to the duck’s wellbeing and that’s the first duck they’ve ever seen so they named him and Googled what he eats (not bread!) and built him an artificial pond and now ‘there are concerns he might be lonely’, so there’s talk of importing other ducks to keep him company and yeah, the world is still batshit insane but isn’t this the sweetest thing?

Anyway, meet Trevor.

full offense but none of you would have ever survived fanfiction.net in 2009

bold of you to assume I was not forged in that dark crucible

@moulinroux …looking at you.

bitch i was reading fic before ff.net was even created. none of you would have survived geocities and angelfire pages with just lists of links of fic, scrolling with no filters or search capabilities. you don’t KNOW THE DARK MAGIC.

I was a gymnast, and – for strange reasons – I became a dancer for 10 years. And through that, I found my way to acting. I was in love with the dancing more than I was with the aesthetic. So I asked myself the question, ‘why don’t I just apply for drama school?’ It was never a childhood dream, it was just something I stumbled on.

The “Mancini Pearls” Sold by Christie’s In 1969

Natural Pearl and Diamond Earrings Supposedly Gifted by King Louis XIV Of France To Marie Mancini (1639 – 1715) As A Token Of Affection.

This pair of drop earrings was famous even before Louis XIV gave them
to Anna-Maria (in France known as Marie) Mancini – niece of Cardinal Mazarin – in the vain hope that
he would one day be able to marry her. They were the same earrings previously given
to Henriette-Marie of France as part of her dowry when she married King Charles I of
England. She can actually be seen wearing them in extant portraits. Before that, they belonged to the Princess’s mother, Marie de Medici, Queen of France.

The pearls are detachable and weigh over 400 grains; but the setting has been modernised. They remain some of the most famous jewels in existence and sold for a quarter of a million dollars at the Christie’s auction held in New York on October 16th, 1979 [sic].
