I am a fandom whore

The Patronus Charm is difficult, and many witches and wizards are unable to produce a full, corporeal Patronus, a guardian which generally takes the shape of the animal with whom they share the deepest affinity. You may suspect, but you will never truly know what form your Patronus will take until you succeed in conjuring it.”

 #ok confession: i actually get kinda tingly when kirk uses his captain voice  #it’s pathetic he has the biggest sparkly anime eyes ever and he’s about as threatening as an annoyed kitten  #but i have a crippling weakness for Captain James ”Don’t Fuck With My Clique” Kirk  #i guarantee you i will be making strangled noises every time kirk says ”MY crew”  #that protective + possessive instinct just really fucking gets to me because jim grew up alone with nobody to care for let alone fight for or even kill for  #now he has the entire crew of the enterprise to look after and he’d do anything to keep them safe  

I had a professor in college who liked to say that bisexual women (that would be me) are “eroticized toward dissonance.” I gotta say, my response to Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk is really, really bringing that to life for me. Even in full-on alpha-male Captain mode, there’s something inescapably vulnerable about him.  Even as his most feral and threatening (and I did find him deeply threatening in this scene), there’s an interior…something. Woundedness? Doubt? Alienation from himself? I’ve used the word softness before, but that’s not quite right either. But it’s something that reads as queer to me, something that creates a dissonance, something that’s a visceral shock to see in the Captain’s chair.

And reader, IT IS WORKING FOR ME.

oooh, “eroticized toward dissonance.” that goes in the sexy theory drawer. i said “softness” but i probably meant “kind of queer,” too. 

I love this post.

The Astonishing Annual Red Crab Migration

Named one of the planet’s most breathtaking migrations, the Christmas Island red crab exodus is a natural phenomenon that continues to astonish.

Making it onto CNN Travel’s recent list of the “10 most spectacular wildlife migrations,” the island’s annual red crab migration is an astounding event that involves the movement of millions of vividly colored crabs as they leave their in-land homes to breed and release eggs into the sea.

An Australian territory, Christmas Island lies some 2,600 kilometers north-west of Perth in the middle of the Indian Ocean. While just 1,500 people live there, it is home to an estimated 120 million crabs.
