DW AU → School

With a habit of hiring ridiculously attractive teachers that students actually like, Gallifreyan High is quite unique. But English teacher, Amy Pond, finds out how different the school really is when she decides to write a novel using the people around her as characters. She finds strange family history between herself and Classics teacher, Dr. River Song, as well as some concerning romantic affairs. Martha Jones, biology teacher, and Rose Tyler, school counselor, both fight for, Physics teacher, John smith’s affections. While Sherlock Holmes finds him caught between two women - his wife, River Song, and top student Clara Oswald. And all this happening while Headmaster Mr. Spock and problematic student Donna Noble have an unromantic but interesting relationship which means Donna ends up getting herself in trouble to see him.

What will Pond do with this information? Will she write the story and threaten to expose her students and colleagues? Or will she put her dream of becoming a novelist aside? 

And as interesting relationships go, Amy Pond and the school nurse Rory Williams, have a wibbly wobbly, but perfect relationship going on.

In the nineteenth century, a morbid and curious custom has spread to various parts of the world: the photos were ”Post Mortem”.
”Post Mortem” comes from Latin, meaning after death.

The photos ”Post Mortem” apparently originated in England, when Queen Victoria asked to photograph the corpse of an acquaintance or a relative, so she can keep as a souvenir.
soon after, this idea spread around the world, keeping a morbid reminder of loved ones that have passed on.

Even today, as strange as it may seem, some places still have this custom.

The girl who is standing in the photo is the one who is dead.

This is a classic example of photographic art. 

Notice the hands

for people wondering how the corpse is standing up, there is a posing stand supporting the body it’s very hard to see but the stand is supporting the neck, arms and back.

the girl in this picture has her eyes open, but in some cases the photographer will paint pupils on the eye lids to make it seem like they are wide awake

Have some historical, non-fiction creepypasta.

I’ve studied about these pictures not too long ago.

One of the reasons they were so popular was that, while protography started to become popular at that time, it was still expensive, and sometimes the families couldn’t pay for take pictures of their children or other relatives often. So, they did it when said people died so, this way, they would have at least one memento of them.

Sometimes, the photos themselves were painted, to make the corpses look a little more “alive”. A lot of manipulation techniques were used.

this is what heterophobia would look like if it was real. if you believe that heterophobia is a real thing that exists, please watch this because you will see that it simply doesn’t exist, that it never has and never will.

I want companionship but I hate people

if you feel this way, you’re probably an introvert!  because an introvert’s brain stays at a higher state of arousal than an extrovert, lots of socializing can cause overstimulation (which translates into feeling overwhelmed).  this is why introverts do well with just a few strong relationships and need lots of alone time to recharge after being around people.

introverts make up around 30% of the population, but that number is likely much higher on Tumblr (it’s an activity that attracts introverts).

Whole Foods Shows Customers the Bleak Future of Produce Without Bees

“The decline in bee populations has been all the buzz lately, which led Whole Foods Market to team up with the Xerces Society to show us what a world—or at least, produce section—without bees would look like. The University Heights, Rhode Island store removed all foods that are reliant upon the important pollinators, and it leaves a pretty slim selection; 52% of the produce department’s offerings would be pulled from shelves without bees around to help.”
