this headline gave me heart problems

Y'all know Jim parsons left the big bang theory cuz its toxic right??

Y'all know he os a gay man with moneywho is actually a really cool dude in rl??

Why all this “sorry gay/bi ppl gotta deal with this” from the straights??

Fuck you straight people, I am excited to see where this goes

Yea outside of TBBT he’s been a huge queer advocate, and shuts down homophobic bullshit. Like for example when Love, Simon came out and everyone was like “don’t we have enough of this/isn’t it too late for this?” He was like “do you people say that about every straight rom com that comes out??”

Plus his work outside of TBBT has mostly BEEN queer shit, including being in a movie about how shit the government was in regards to the AIDS crisis.

TBBT was his big break, he was a nobody before it. And unfortunately he got stuck with it for a while. Although he wasn’t afraid to use his newfound fame for a good purpose. And now that he’s free of it? We’re only gonna see more of his queer activism side.

Don’t forget that he’s an actor, not the character jfc. A gay guy trying to get a break signs a contract and gets stuck with a show, playing a shitty character….. Like. That’s not…. Don’t hate him for his first big role, yea?

I wish I put as much effort into my life as Phil Collins did into the Tarzan soundtrack

One time my Spanish 2 teacher was like “I dont have a lesson today. We’re watching Tarzan” and put it in the VHS (This was 2010). We [sophomores - seniors, I was a junior] were super excited. The movie starts and my friend and I look at each other and say at the same time “IS PHIL COLLINS SINGING IN SPANISH?!” I went home that night and found out Phil Collins sang the songs in the English, Italian, German, Spanish, and French versions of the film. Mind blown.

He did not have to go that HORD but Phil did it for us

In Finland, speeding tickets are calculated based on your income - causing some Finnish millionaires to pay fines of over $100,000. Source

This is what “equality” looks like in that liberal fairy tale land of Finland.  They punish you proportionately to how successful you are.  Sounds really “fair.”

Except… it is fair? Because it’s proportionate. I don’t get what’s difficult about that. An impoverished person paying $400 dollar fine isn’t the same as a millionaire paying the same amount. For the poor person, $400 dollars could mean starving. Would you really claim it would have the same consequence for a rich man? Would it even be noticeable to him, while the absence of food in their stomach would be glaring to a poorer man? Would it be fair for a man to starve for the same crime as a man that would be having a three course meal?

By taking income into account, it allows the impoverished able to still survive while paying any fines they may incur. And, ultimately, while $100,000 dollars would be noticeable to a millionaire, they would still get by. And, assuming the law is properly implemented, they would be paying the same equivalent of their yearly income that a poorer person would. That’s what makes it fair. They would be impacted the same way - but you are looking at the amount rather than the equation.

Also, it’s important to make sure that even the rich would pause at the cost of a fine. They need to fear the law just as a poor man does. 

Oh no… rich people facing fines that might actually make them consider not doing illegal things because the punishments might actually hurt them… how unfair… -V

Finnish person here. Our speeding ticket system owns and only people who bitch about them are people who wanna break the laws - the loudest whiners are the rich people who think they can just pay their way out of trouble and that’s why we have laws like that.

400 dollar ticket.

Person making 10 dollars an hour: “Fuck, I better slow down”

Millionaire driving a Jaguar: “LOL 400 DOLLARS, FUCK THAT, NYOOM”

Compared to a proportional ticket.

Person making 10 dollars an hour and must pay 400 dollar ticket: “Fuck, I better slow down.”

Millionaire who must pay 100,000 dollar ticket: “Fuck, I better slow down.”

Like wtf. Some people have been so brainwashed by capitalism and worship of the rich that they literally can’t tell the difference between fairness and unfairness anymore.

It IS fair. The fact that it flies in the status quo so much should make you think about that status quo.

does anyone have more these are great

i’m wheeziNg

Milo Meets Kida: Translated! (aka milo fails at atlantean)

“Who are you strangers and where did you come from?”

(HALTINGLY & with a bad, very american accent)

“Who…are you strangers and….where did you come from?” 

“Your manner of speech is strange to me.”

“I….travel…friend!”

“…I travel friend…

(impatiently) …You are a friendly traveler?” 

(does anyone else love how she’s correcting his shitty atlantean LOL bbies ♥)

“So, my friend, I am a traveler!”

“You speak the language of the Romans!”

“Do you speak French?”

“Yes, sir!”

And for the record, Atlantean was written/created by  Marc Okrand the dude who made Klingon. 

So Kida and Milo are ACTUALLY talking to each other. Not just saying gibberish.

Milo: I know these other languages but I’m not fluent in yours yet please have mercy.

Kida: You seem to be an idiot but I’ll forgive you because you’re trying.

I got real petty over on the Facebook page and IT WAS GLORIOUS.

This is me, going to check out Legendary Books now…

Publisher: We think that the way the fantasy genre treats women is problematic so we’re going to try and do better

A Fool: If you don’t like it why don’t you make your own!

Publisher: That

That is literally what we just said we are doing

GUESS WHO’S BACK, BIGOTED FUCKWADS?

AHAHAHAHAHA we have a winner for today!

*Snort*

@princessjellyfishie

if anybody like me a) lol’d and b) wanted to get my hands on that book series, here’s the link

This is magically what I’m looking for right now.

Hi Legendary Books, I’ll take one of everything.

Happy to oblige!

I literally don’t have the space for any more physical books, but I’ve downloaded every Underrealm book on Kindle. I read The Alchemist’s Touch specifically because of this post and I seriously can’t recommend the Underrealm books enough. they are absolutely fantastic.

I don’t really read anymore, not like i used to. And of i get a masters this year like i am planning to then that isn’t going to change. But hell yes I’m going to go and buy these books because THIS is exactly the kind of thing that i want to support!

YISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

One day I will have a job and a bank account and I will have money from the job in the bank account and I will use some of the money to purchase these books

Hey did you

did you know

did you know we have a podcast now and you can literally listen to the books for free.

(You probably didn’t. That’s okay because it’s very new).

It’s slower than buying and reading them, but it’s great if you have no book budget but you do have some listening time!

Are these good books? For anyone who’s read them?

Hey, good news! You can find our for yourself, absolutely free.

We get that people want to know if a series is good before they spend money. We have book budgets too, and they’re TIGHT.

So you can get the first book in the series for exactly zero dollars. We do that because we’re, like, 78% sure you’re going to come back and buy the rest of them.

(Because that’s the literal percentage of people who do so).

So, if you want to find out if the books are good or not, before you spend any money, just go pick up your free copy at the top of this page:

gotta reblog this!

*perks up like a dog who just heard the jangle of a leash* Did I read… ace characters? Tell me more.

You should really read the Tales of the Wanderer! They’re not our bestsellers, but they’re probably my favorite Underrealm books. And the protagonist, Mag, is ace as hell.

me passing by, judging:

The commentary got me rollin!!! 😂😂😂

*Pause mid sentence to glance at the tire on the ground* “I don’t where the fuck that came from.”

I want to see what the car that did this looks like.

Bacchino Malato (Caravaggio, 1593)

The moment people were like “oh shit water benders”

I really loved this episode though, it was an established theme in the show that firebenders are associated with death and waterbenders are associated with life and healing, and up to this point it all seemed so clear-cut, because fire obviously destroys everything in its path while water can put out fires and heals, as we’ve seen particularly in Katara’s case with her natural healing ability.  

Then we meet Hama, who due to years of torture and hatred has found a way to turn the classic gentler waterbending ways into a weapon of destruction and manipulation, and honestly I can’t think of a better way to introduce people to the fact that things are never as clear cut as they seem.  We’ve thought of waterbenders as the good guys up until this point, so it’s jarring to find out that no, despite stereotypes and traditions, there are always going to be good and bad people in every culture/group, but that’s the point of the entire show.

It’s revisited later too when Aang and Zuko find the Sun Warriors who teach them firebending is not just about death and destruction, but also about bringing warmth to the earth and making plants grow and both Aang and Zuko needed to hear that they weren’t just instruments of destruction and gain confidence from the idea of using firebending to create life and I love it I love this show so much.

I’ve said this roughly 1,000 times on this blog, but I think this show is a masterpiece of narrative. They establish characters and cultures that any other show would codify and then turn their own concept on its ear in believeable ways time and time again. Really exceptional.

fun fact: Michael Cera asked Rihanna if he could slap her ass for real and she said “you can slap my ass for real if I can slap you in the face for real” and he was like alright. and they did the take like 3 times and Michael was like “you’re not hitting me hard enough do it for real” and then she slapped the fuck out of him and threw off his equilibrium so much he had to go lay down in his trailer for like half an hour lmao and that’s the take they used in the movie with no added sound effects
