“The real Maria was not in love with Captain von Trapp … At least not at first. In the movie ‘The Sound of Music’, Maria fell for the children and Georg von Trapp simultaneously. But in real life when he proposed, “I really and truly was not in love,” Maria wrote in her 1948 memoir. “I liked him but I didn’t love him. However, I loved the children, and so in a way I really married the children. By and by I learned to love him more than I have ever loved before or after.””

Sigyn falling for Helen and then Loki in Monsters … I know guys this happens to as well. I know men who’ve stayed in bad marriages because they’ve fallen in love with their step-kids.

Tama is boss

THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM

Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]

For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.

ahhh gentle pure tama!!

nitama being officially sworn in as new stationmaster.

she also has an A+ face and loves sticking her tongue out. im serious google this cat like 70% of the pictures shes going BLEP its great.

ya, I’m tagging this chaos magic, because if a cat getting elevated to Eternal Stationmaster and God of a Station isn’t the true essence of chaos magic, then what the fuck are we all doing here.

Well, no god of chaos would ever be a dog … that’s for sure. (Loki disguised himself as a wolf, not a dog in I Bring the Fire. There’s a big difference! ;-) )
