every times this comes around I laugh harder than the time before
stepped on a plum (overripe plum) (barefoot) it was on the driveway got out of the car and accidentally (didn't know it was there) stepped on the plum (warm) (on the ground) (it had fallen from the tree) barefoot (no shoes) wearing long pants (too long) (need to hem them) plum viscera got on them (the pants) unexpected plum on the driveway (hot plum) (97 degrees out) already super hungover (throwing up all morning) (should not have been driving at all) and I stepped out of the car (black car) (97 degrees out) and onto the plum (unexpected) (didn't know the plum was there) and it burst (plum nightmare on my only good pair of sweatpants) still we find ways to keep ourselves going from day to day
happy one year anniversary to possibly the best plum poem since william carlos williams' "this is just to say"
not to give pirates of the caribbean too much credit but it really is the only major franchise Ive seen that was able to pull off the “historical and mythical exist at the same time” with any sort of success
#like how on land theyre in history but on sea theyre in mythology really communicates the wonder and love the #pirates have for the sea so much better than long soliloquies or good cinematography #and then the meta narrative is constantly indicating that the spread of empire and greed for money is driving it away #man……………………………………………………………….. (@liridi)
Building on this its so funny how everyone has a globe but the moment the pirates hit the seas they sail off of the end of the (flat) world. its all in the details etc etc
#and how all are sad that the sea ‘is becoming smaller and smaller’#like it used to be a world of adventure where man shackled the goddess of the sea and lived in myth#but now it’s slowly becoming just…. water#no more fantasy#just boats sailing from one place to another to sell shit @gilbirda
#it wasnt the kraken to worry about. it was cutler beckett utilizing it for financial gain THEN KILLING IT!!!!!#THE EVIL!!! @officialtokyosan
YEAH………. YEAH
It’s one film of the recent decades that does fairytale logic right. There is no explanations z because no one questions thins - it jsut is.
When you are a classical musician and the public asks you to play Queen …
@hieronymus-bush … although I’m not sure what you’ll think of it 😆
Holy hell. He has amazing technique AND he didn’t just transcribe the piece to piano, he essentially composed classical music (and honestly some neo-classical, lol) based on the melody. Plus, he kind of looks like Freddie.
People in the 1800s would've gone apeshit over this in the concert halls
Reblogging to watch later...
I think about this post every time I wash my sheets
Please, never let this meme die.
This is the best one I’ve seen so far
What kind of quantum fucking memeing from 2056 are you people beaming to us
It’s fucking back
shooting star. i can’t believe i’m hearing shooting star again in the year 2020
The fates have ordained that this cross my timeline again and you better fucking believe i’m reblogging it.
This is the only good meme, don’t @ me
I don’t think any movie will make me feel the same ethereal sense of otherworldly sorrow and disembodied awe as that scene in Lord of the Rings where the loyal son is sent off into a doomed battle to please his vindictive father while Pippin sings a mourning song of his people
I was like 12 and high off this shit
These movies CHANGED ME
This is one of my favourite parts of the whole trilogy. It’s haunting.
And that Pippin takes actually a happy walking song of his people, because Hobbit songs are generally happy and about food and drink and gifts and things, and *transforms* it into a mourning song.
The song is from Fellowship, before all the heavy plot hits and they’re still in the Shire. It’s about walking, and how eventually all the bad things that scare or sadden you will fade away and you’ll be home warm by the fire.
And Pippin takes it, changes the lines, the key, and sings a song that is truly fit for Denethor’s great hall.
Knowing Billy Boyd gave his own melody to it and everyone had chills after hearing him sing it. This is how you get actors involved with the story and character, this is how amazingly well these films were cast. Fans have been singing that haunting tune in echoing halls and caves and towers for 20 years now and it never loses its beauty.
Home is behind
The world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow
To the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
All shall fade
All shall
Fade
And even better: Billy Boyd composed the tune to the song and then performed it for Peter Jackson and everyone else while filming. They only did one take! That very first take is the one that’s used in the film! He’s just that good!!

This cat’s tail is up and its ears forward, its playing. When it falls out of the box you can see that it is choosing to engage in this activity and also dives after the box. The humans are also being rather gentle

Uno, dos, stress
it’s been a really, really messed up week
- All this performance has done is solidify my wish for Taylor to do a show in Hawaii...I’ve never been to one of her tours yet, and as a nurse it’s a *teensy* bit difficult to get time off!
I was running to Cruel Summer and lost track of my surroundings...I guess if I bleed @taylorswift will be the first to know. 😅
When your husband lets you use his beats headphones to fully enjoy Lover. 🎶💗
Lover definitely gives me “Keep Me Warm” by Ida Maria vibes, the song from Grey’s Anatomy Season 4 finale. That slow-swinging guitar. The episode ending has grand gestures, house plans made of candles, “we could be extraordinary together instead of ordinary apart”, that was the moment when Meredith & Derek declared their love forever...just sayin’!
“My heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue. All’s well that ends well, to end up with you.” 💙 @tilden007 (lyrics courtesy of - @taylorswift ) #NoOffenseILoveMyTaylorMore #Maybe #lovethatdude Fun fact: My Taylor introduces himself saying “Taylor, like Taylor Swift,” so that people can remember his name.
The NSA monitoring my phone: she…..she’s really just going to listen to despacito… again??
Harry Potter is like the gateway fandom. You start reading the books, then all of the sudden you have a sonic screwdriver, you want to go to Rivendell, and you have this awkward fascination with Sherlock Holmes. And you don’t really know how any of it happened, but you’re pretty sure it started with Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Dursley of Four Privet Drive who were proud to say they they were perfectly normal thank you very much.
This is so true.
when will my normal sleep pattern return from war
