Things I'm Obsessing Over

1. The role and functions of a pawn.

2. The weakest pieces on the board; numerous; interchangeable; existing to be sacrificed for the benefit of the real players.

3. Unlike other pieces, a pawn may not retreat. It can only go forward, one step at a time.

4. A pawn cannot capture a piece that blocks its path. It may only proceed if the opposing piece concedes ground, or if a different route is offered.

5. The en passant capture is a special move that permits one pawn to successfully attack another without directly engaging it.

6. Otherwise, the only way a pawn can capture is by going one step forward and to the left or right, in a single diagonal move.

7. In very rare occasions, if a pawn is allowed to cross the entire board, unscathed…

8. …it may be promoted to a queen, and, perhaps, turn the tide of the war.

fake tv-show poster and synopsis : The Founders (HBO Production of course!)
3 seasons | 10-12 episodes by season it’s enough imo

~and sorry for my awful english

season 1: It’s a time of great persecutions and violence for the wizards. Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin, members of two of the greatest families in the wizard world, are friends (not the best ones but good friends, with mutual respect and good times). After seeing for the umpteenth time a young witch burning, Godric have the idea to create a school to teach and protect them. They hear about a witch in Wales, Helga Hufflepuff, who educates young wizards from her village: some orphans because of the murders or the ones disowned by their muggles parents. The two men ask her help and advices, despite the fact that she educates muggle-born disgusts Salazar. She says she knows the perfect place for a school, far from muggles eyes: Scotland, where lives Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga’s best friend and brightest witch of the Age. Even if the difficulties are strong, Rowena joins them… (of course the function of this season is to introduce the medieval atmosphere, the violence, the differents organisations, the characters, their backstories and their aspirations)

season 2: First days of school. Everything is perfect during months… until the High Magical Authorities, the Old Council, starts to take a dim view of the potential power of this school and decide to discredit it whatever the ways ; until love -and sex- appear between the four Founders ; until Salazar starts rejecting any “mudbloods”; until Rowena gets pregnant ; until Godric has to use one of the Unforgiveable curses despite is values ; until Helga finds one of the students dead and mutilated in the forest. The dissensions are more and more violent, and the future of the school uncertain. Salazar Slytherin decides to hide a Chamber of Secrets with a ‘beast’ inside it, and leaves the school. Determinate to ruin it, he joins the Old Council. Aware of this, the three others Founders ask support from their Families’ allies… (this season is the pivotal one, ‘cause, yeah it’s the second one but everything changes at this point: friendship becomes hate or love, the separation, the deads, the betrayal, the revelations… HBO knows how to do it)

season 3: The years pass and the difficulties remain. The war between the Council scares away some students and parents, leaving Godric, Helga, Rowena and her daughter Helena alone to protect the ones remaining. But fearing death, Helena runs away with her mother’s diadem, hoping powers and protection from it. Rowena begs one of Slytherin House’s student, who is in love with Helena, to bring her back. At the same moment, the Council, less and less powerful, expels Salazar, frightened by his extremist positions. He leaves them happily, knowing their end is imminent. At Hogwarts, Rowena learns that the sudent (the bloody baron) killed her daughter and killed himself after. The witch falls into depression and madness, leaving Helga and Godric alone to defend the school against the Council and Salazar’s ambition… (okay, this season is the tragic and last one, with blood and death everywhere. I picture Rowena as the first one to die and Helga as the last survivor of the Four Founders, being so the first woman as principal.)

*lays down in a puddle on the ground and lets rain pour over her for the rest of eternity, forever depressed that this is not a real thing*

“In walked the butler.” Oh, who could that be, I wonder. That’s basically racist.

John Oliver has read “Daily Show” slash fiction, and he has some constructive criticism.

Somebody let John Oliver be included!

Jimmy no need to laugh I’m sure that someone has written fanfiction about you too

“Anything not finished in July 2011,” for the relief of Potterheads. According to the magazine Preview, the recordings for “Harry Potter and the Spell of the First Lord of Death” are scheduled to begin later this year, it seems in August. The film is the first of the series to tell the story of a book within the book itself. It is the adaptation of “The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore” character biography written by Rita Skeeter about great mentor Harry. The fans are already hungry for new details, but may be unconcerned, the first film in the TRILOGY on the lord of death is expected to debut July 2013.

WHAT

yeah right (especially since the OP deleted their blog)

but why would you promise such a thing when it wasn’t real

that is mean

so.. someone on tumblr suggested genderbend marauders for my livestream (a while ago considering how fast I was with drawing it, haha), so I figured I’d want to draw them as girls (although these guys are made to be..well, GUYS) :D

Just wanted to say here, that please don’t be confused with ‘James’ here. I don’t think he’d be COMPLETELY different as a girl. That’s just I think ‘she’ wouldn’t be pleased with her hair always being so messed up:D And girl-Sirius would always mess it up as a joke, ahah:D
And I think ‘Jane’ wouldn’t be so self-confident with ‘Liam’ either:3 And everytime she would spot Liam nearby, she would always try to fix her hair:3 Hahah I just don’t see ‘Jane’ being so suure about Liam:D So that’s why she acts like this here.
But she’s still ‘James’ at the same time, haha
that’s all I wanted to say I think^^

Clifford the big red dog by *sandara

-Weeps-

OH MY GOD

Can we have a Clifford live action movie?  Not a kids movie either. 

Like, Emily Elizabeth’s parents are working for a government agency developing a super soldier serum.  None of their testing is working and they start testing the serum on larger mammals in hopes of seeing better results.  They inject a variety of animals, including a dog.  Nothing.  They are desperate and on the verge of having their project shut down when they notice one of the test dogs is pregnant.  It gives birth and they bring one of the puppies home for their daughter.

To their shock, the puppy they brought home starts to grow at an incredible rate, its fur mutating into a brilliant red as it does so.  They are ecstatic because their research has finally seen a result, albeit one they weren’t expecting.  There is only one problem.

Clifford has become attached to Emily and refuses to leave her side.  Emily, too, has fallen in love with her new pet.  They decide to let their project be canceled rather than try to separate the two.  Unfortunately, the government discovers their secret and begins a campaign to retrieve Clifford at any costs.  During the initial conflict, Emily Elizabeth’s parents are killed trying to help her and Clifford escape.  Emily and her dog flee into the wild.  This sets the opening of the movie.

Over the course of the movie, Emily and Clifford are on the run and we see Emily grow into a young woman, everything about her honed into a survivalist expert.  She and Clifford roam the backwoods, constantly in fear of being captured.  On one of her rare trips into town one day, Emily witnesses a bank robbery in progress involving multiple hostages.  She calls Clifford and the two of them save the lives of the hostages but wreck the bank in the process.  The local news capture footage of Clifford and it isn’t long before the military arrives in town.

Emily wants to just run away again, but she sees that the military is destroying the town, driving people out of their homes and destroying property in their search.  She decides that enough is enough and rides Clifford back into town and fights the military.  Amidst the fighting a huge truck arrives.  A general (who was her parent’s superior officer) gets out and smirks.  He tells Emily Elizabeth that Clifford’s mother wasn’t the only animal that gave birth to a litter of babies after receiving an injection.  The back of the truck unfolds to reveal a massive tabby cat.  The cat strains against its bindings and tears free, immediately leaping onto a nearby group of soldiers and devouring them.  Emily is horrified and orders Clifford to attack.

What follows is the dramatic battle between Clifford and the mutant cat.  Clifford has strength, but the cat is too fast and agile.  It looks like Clifford is down for the count, when the townsfolk, recognizing that Clifford is on their side, come to his aid.  They distract the cat long enough for him to finish the beast off for good. 

The military retreats, the general swearing vengeance on the two of them, and Emily and Clifford ride off into the night once more.  But the legend of the big red dog has already started.  And Emily Elizabeth knows that the day will come when she and Clifford will need to ride into battle against the forces of evil once more.

The credits roll.

Post credits, the screen fades to black for a moment.  The sound of waves crashing on shore fills the air.  The screen flashes brilliant white.  The light of the lighthouse moves on, revealing a rocky shore on a rainy day.  The camera pans down to find Clifford and Emily gazing out to sea.  A massive object hangs in the air off the coast, obscured in the clouds.  A smaller object rapidly approaches them.  It resolves itself into an advanced helicopter that silently lands just down the shore from them.  Clifford lets out a low growl but Emily quiets him with a hand on his leg.  A lone figure emerges from the aircraft, huddling his arms around himself to fight off the cold.

He approaches the two.  His hair is short and somewhat curly.  He wears glasses and a grey flannel shirt and seems unlikely to pose a threat to the two.

“Emily Elizabeth,” he says over the sound of the crashing surf, “I worked with your parents.  It’s taken us a while to find you, after the Birdwell Island incident.”

“And who exactly is ‘us’,” she responds, eyes narrowing suspiciously.

Ignoring her question, the man continues.  “Me and Clifford have a lot in common, actually.”  He smiles a little awkwardly, then presses on.  “I was hoping you might be interested in meeting my boss.  He’s fairly excited to talk with you.”

“You still haven’t answered my question.  Who are you and who do you work for?”

The man smiles.  “My name is Banner.  And I’m hear to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative.”

I want it
