Hello!
My name is Karin and I'm a Swedish scatterbrain with a burning passion for art, strange animals, fantasy books and heavy metal.
This blog serves no purpose other than being an archive over random stuff I find online. There's no theme or agenda, I'll just post whatever I feel like. Feel free to browse and reblog if you so desire :)
Priorities
- The world: hey man we've got some really serious problems like global warming and mass economic failure and riots and genocide and aids and cancer and your healthcare system is shit so maybe we should get to work
- US government: sit down I have to stop people from sharing things online
Neil Gaiman on Copyright Piracy and the Web
“Places where I was being pirated […] I was selling more and more books. People were discovering me through being pirated. And then they were going out and buying the real books”
“Nobody who would’ve bought your book is not buying it because they can find it for free. What you’re actually doing is advertising, you’re reaching more people, you’re raising awareness.”
Mr. Gaiman is speaking the truth - and it does not only apply to books btw.

Thank you.

I sincerely hope The Hobbit is a commercial success. Not just because we’ve waited so long to see it happen and because it deserves it, but because maybe it’ll also open the door for adaptations of some of J.R.R. Tolkien’s other beautiful stories. For example, the epic love of Luthien and Beren? I’d certainly love to see that on screen. I think Middle-earth is rich with stories that could be adapted.
