joannalannister:

For Cersei’s wedding outfit, designer Michele Clapton used rich dark red velvet printed with a gold design of two rampant lions. The twin lions embroidered on the sleeves were meant to be bolder and more armor like. The twin lions encircle Casterly Rock, against an embroidered sun:

“If Margaery Tyrell thinks to cheat me of my hour in the sun, she had bloody well think again.”

Child Cries After Expecting to Meet Iron Man, Getting RDJ Instead

Little Jaxson Denno was fully expecting to hang out with The Invincible Iron Man when his mom told him Tony Stark was shooting a movie in his neck of the woods. Needless to say, the 18-month-old Western Massachusetts native was none-too-pleased when he ended up meeting Robert Downey, Jr. instead. via: Gawker

The look on RDJ’s face is priceless.

"Nagini", Voldermort and representation: things that disappointed me in HP

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:13:26 +1000

ETA: please give proper credit if you cite this or any of meta, cos this stuff takes time and effort y’all.

So yesterday when I made this post, many people wanted to know why Voldermort’a pet snake being named ‘Nagini’ was racially problematic. I was surprised that people hadn’t considered this, but then again desi issues/culture are hardly visible in mainstream media. But today I kept getting anons either professing complete shock about Naagini’s* significance, OR telling me that my interpretations were wrong. So I decided to write this meta on Naagini, the HP verse and mythological snake symbols. But first I’m gonna give some you some backstory about why Naagini bothers me so much and how Rowling seems to have missed out on some cultural context.

One of my favourite stories as a child was the one about Buddha and Mucalinda, the Snake King. Shortly after attaining enlightenment, the Buddha is travelling through a forest when he gets caught in a terrible storm. The great serpent, Mucalinda, shelters the Buddha by spreading it’s vast seven-headed hood over him, and permitting the Buddha to sit on his coils. Many statues depicting this scene are found throughout Sri Lanka. There was one at the junction close to my school that I would always stare at. The sight of the Buddha serenely meditating under the protection of a huge and powerful cobra is a striking one that captured my imagination as a child. Years later, I’m still moved on a deep, wordless level by this image.
