i’m curious, so put in the tags where you grew up and how you learned the four cardinal directions. i grew up in the south in the usa, and we learned “never eat slimy watermelon.”
okay i usually don’t like these kinds of posts but i was having a discussion with some friends from different part of the country/world sooo…..
reblog and put in the tags where you’re from/whether or not you consider the tap water clean enough to drink I am actually genuinely curious. I’m from florida and i’ve been told that it’s usually unsafe to drink unfiltered.

It’s almost as if they want poor people to have a decent quality of life or something
Reblog if you have a lust for free stuff
I have a serious lust for basic human rights.
TITS OUT FOR SINGLE-PAYER HEALTH CARE
It’s almost like the devolved government said, ‘we’ll raise your income tax a teeny tiny amount (because we’ve got tax raising powers but only like really small ones) and in return we’ll be able to afford to keep doing all this good stuff and we’ll throw in some extra stuff too’ and the people of Scotland replied ‘aye, that sounds like a good deal’. That’s…that’s how the welfare state works!
So I went to Glasgow and took a detour to see the kelpies aka the GIANT DISEMBODIED HORSE HEADS OF HELL.
You should see them at night! They light them up after dark, in various colours, but mostly red, not ominous at all when you come round the curve of the M80 to see them looming out of the darkness.
reblog this and say in the tags where ur from and if u think the names erin and aaron are pronounced the same
Ok but fairies don’t like iron so clearly Irn Bru was created as a modern urban solution to Scotland’s fairy problem.
I mean think about it, very few stories have cropped up of people being taken by the Good Neighbours since the late nineteenth century which coincides with the rise of popular health tonics like iron brews, while the precursor to THE Irn Bru was brought out in 1901.
This ALSO coincides with the lifetimes of individuals such as Andrew Lang (who of course published a version of Robert Kirk’s Secret Commonwealth, and Kirk was one of those reputed to have been taken by the fairies) and the prominence of Victorian cutesy fairy tradition may have brought public attention to very real, malevolent and not particularly cutesy human-fairy issues in the contemporary world, sparking an effort to end abductions.
The Good Neighbours cannot have been particularly happy about this, not least because it’s status as ‘Scotland’s Other National Drink’ threatened the position of their own invention, whisky, from which they still draw massive revenues (because obviously Scotch whisky is supernatural, how else would it be the best, and it is well-known that those who imbibe have a greater chance of seeing the Fair Folk). Various attempts to placate fairy distillers have taken place over the years however, and to bring the two communities together, with much greater success since devolution and the founding of the Scottish parliament (the fairy community being considered an embarrassment and marker of backwardness by the Scots at the time of the Act of Union, so attempts were made to hide them from Westminster, though not always successfully).
One particularly prominent symbol of improved relations between the communities is the famous snowman Christmas advert, conceived as a metaphor for human and fairy cooperation (the snowman being animated by magic, though hiding behind the conventional Christmas imagery of Raymond Briggs’ classic). However it has been an established principle in Scots law since at least 1946 that humans who have taken regular doses of irn bru are off-limits and unable to be “invited” to the fairy world without fully understanding what they’d got into (whisky drinkers are plainly related to ancient bardic traditions and thus much more likely to go looking for such experiences than the sober), thus lessening the chance of nasty diplomatic situations.
Drink your irn bru kids, unless you want to be taken by the fairies
I’m here for this theory in full.
