And in those three seconds Link’s life flashed before his eyes. Happy birthday, kiddo!

Multi-awarded actress Maggie Smith was halfway through her cancer treatment when she made Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince, starring as Professor Minerva McGonagall.
“I was hairless. I had no problem getting the wig on. I was like a boiled egg,” she said.
The chemotherapy was, she said, “something that makes you feel much worse than the cancer itself”. “You feel horribly sick. I was holding on to railings, thinking ‘I can’t do this’,” she said.
But she insisted she will “stagger through” the final Harry Potter film, The Deathly Hallows. Let’s just pause and ponder on how awesome this woman is, a true Gryffindor.
I will never not reblog this. This woman is my hero. I’ve seen what my mom went through with chemo. To go through it and still put on such a moving performance is something she should be very proud of.
So much love and respect for this woman <3 :)

Good afternoon, you fine people! We’re going to keep it mellow for today.
Sonic ‘06 is one of those games that I really want to play. I want to witness those terrible controls for myself, not to mention I love Silver (and his theme; that’ll be for another day). And I will admit this is an…interesting choice of music for a result screen, whereas all of the other result musics are pretty upbeat. A good example is the most modern one, or the Sonic CD US release one.
But we’re here to talk about this! I think it’s a gorgeous arrangement, simple acoustic guitar fingerpicking through a mellow version of “His World”. It’s one of those songs I like to put on repeat and hum the melody, or play it on flute (or guitar), or sit in the bath and mellow right out to it. There’s something really powerful about the changes, IV - V - VIm - I, combined with the dark(er) key of F# major (or Gb, whichever you prefer), that takes a simple melody and really jacks it up. It’s a really beautiful arrangement no matter how you slice it.
Bonus! I did an 8-bit arrange of this some months ago, if you’re into that sorta thing.
