Through Doe Eyes

I’m just sitting here on Tumblr and my sister is in the background being all… PRODUCTIVE and shit. I feel like such an ass.

the common sense guide to surviving the zombie apocalypse:

gyzym:

So, in the wake of reading this terrifying shit, Postcard and I started chatting, as you do, about the zombie apocalypse. Here are some things Postcard and I enjoy: zombie media, common sense, and YELLING ABOUT STUFF. Thus, for your reading pleasure, please enjoy our simple twenty-step guide to NOT DYING in the unlikely event that a zombie apocalypse ravages humanity:

1. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTUAL APOCALYPTIC SITUATION, ASSUME THAT THE FOLLOWING THINGS ARE GOING TO STOP WORKING: running water (this includes toilets); anything that relies on electricity (this includes gas pumps); anything that relies on natural gas lines (this includes gas stoves/central heat); basically, anything that relies on there being a factory of some variety at the other end of thing you want to make do stuff. THAT’S ALL GONNA BREAK. THIS INCLUDES THE INTERNET. Thus, the most important thing to do in the event of a zombie apocalypse is: 
2. RESEARCH. For as long as you possess the internet, do everything you can to learn as much as possible. Research edible/medicinal plants (or seriously, go into a bookstore and loot your shit a guidebook, they’re not large, they sell little tiny ones, you can put it in your pocket, WHY DOES EVERYONE IN EVERY ZOMBIE MOVIE NOT DO THIS). Research, from available information, how the zombies work/which of their senses are functional—for example, if they operate largely by smell, you want to work on smelling not alive. If they operate largely by sight, DON’T LIGHT FIRES AT NIGHT. And speaking of fires…

The thing about Tyrion’s speech to the troops (or whateverthefuck they’d be called) in Blackwater that really got me is that he didn’t -wouldn’t- lie to them. 

And I think that’s what I love about Tyrion is that he will be charming and play the game and he’ll even neatly fit himself into the world as other people dictate it, but he will not abide bullshit, and he will not lie were it counts. 

He couldv’e told those men that they were fighting for some glorious purpose, against some evil enemy that deserved to be slaughtered, and he couldv’e told himself that. Most people would, I think, to get through it. 

Instead he told them the absolute honest truth: Let’s fight because at this point we do not have a choice. He told them that there were real people on the other side of those walls, and that they had to kill them anyway. And it hurt him to know it and to say it and he did both anyway. And just… fuck I love him for that.

“he will not abide bullshit, and he will not lie were it counts.” 

Yes yes.This is why I freakin’ love Tyrion. That part of that sentence right there, that is Tyrion Lannister in a nutshell, and it doesn’t matter if it’s his whore-who-he-sorta-kinda-loves-but-don’t-say-that-out-loud or if it’s his single-minded-nutty-ass-sister or if it’s his crazy-out-of-his-goddammed-mind-insane-motherfuckin-nephew, he doesn’t stand for shit that there’s no time for and that is completely fucking stupid. He has shit to do, guys, and he’s gonna fucking get it done. He’s going to end up proving that he is worth so much fucking more than ANY OF THEM think. I swear to it. That speech gave me the chills because it was so RAW and REAL and TRUE; he spoke to their HUMANITY, not to their pride or honor, no. Their humanity. Because Tyrion, maybe more than like anyone else in the entire series, truly appreciates people’s humanity.
