15 Days of FatT - BRANCH

when "Once the War’s Over" got introduced I got really excited about the possibility of hearing about Phrygian's home - the Golden Branch, the places and people they cared about... I really love what we got instead, but I do still think about it sometimes.

the cool thing about emails is that if you don't look at them they can't hurt you. if you just don't open your email, the people trying to harm you with the emails can't get you. as long as you don't look, there's no emails.

two men can have straight sex with each other. if they’re homophobic enough.

Love how much tumblr has gotten into House M.D. this year

moomin! 🍄🌱

jin ling's slightly less homophobic arc (masterpost here!)

society really lost the war when dressing nice / slutty = “gay” “metrosexual” “is he 💅🏻”. we had decades of men wearing crop tops and short shorts without blinking an eye and now it’s ye ole pilgrim standards and talk of scandal if they show their knees

they were FASHIONISTAS!!! and we SHAMED them!!!

the fact that men used to be able to dress like that and no one said a thing but chris pine stepped outside in this and there’s dozens of articles about him & his reaction to the criticism?

stand UP kings. bring back the thighs and the tummies!!!!!!

adhd symptoms are always just mild enough to seem fake but just severe enough to make everyone on planet earth think you’re an asshole for having them. not a big fan of this paradox tbh

I've been following the director of Fallout: New Vegas on twitter for a few years now and I can't emphasise enough that this dude is really good at posting

I have been asked for something new from MDZS! I admit it took me some time because many of the prompts I got had some sweetness in them (like, please make them hug or kiss or stare lovingly) and I had no idea why it couldn't sit right with me. Well, for me MDZS is more about being selfish and blind to those who care about you, pointless waiting and grieving, and being VERY lucky. I seriously couldn't paint fluff having all of this in mind, but I hope you won't mind (I still tried my best! xD)

Look, I'm not a Yuri on Ice fan nor do I have a business degree. I understand that studio Mappa wants to produce more Shounen Jump properties because those are super profitable. I understand that.

But how in the fuck is it more profitable to cancel the Yuri on ice movie???

It was a cultural zeitgeist.

It breached containment from the anime community.

It's music was featured in the Olympics.

How in the fuck could it not be a profitable franchise????

character in a movie: Oh no, angry dog, please don’t bite me!

the dog: I’m at work! I’m doing so good at being at work! I’m barking because my handler gave the sign ‘bark’! I am going to get such a good grade in being a dog actor, which is completely possible to achieve, and normal to want! I am doing a great job! I am proud of myself for doing such a great job! I love this, because I’d make it physically impossible to get anything done if I wasn’t enjoying it! I’m barking!

I love seeing dogs and wolves in movies because they’re acting so vicious but also their tails are wagging so hard unless the post-processing guys specifically edited out the tails (which is slightly less obvious but also hilarious in a different way once you spot it).

This is why I love the dog in the original casting of The Thing so damn much. I have never seen an acting dog move with such a deliberate, calm intent. It was like every single motion and gesture this animal made was intentional.

Apparently, according to the behind-the-scenes documentation, this dog was just fuckin like that. Almost never, if at all, looked at the camera crews and production teams. Never excitedly wagged his tail on set no matter how much of a good boy he was being. If he did, it was the same… deliberate motions.

His name was Jed, and even though he’s a dog, he deserves an oscar. He was an exceptionally good boy.

Jed also played the role of White Fang in the 90s Disney film version!

I honestly can’t imagine a better portrayal of a stoic, aloof White Fang, who gradually softens, than Jed.  Good boy.

That dog knows his job, and knows he’s damn good at it, and knows he’s probably better at his job than his coworkers.

That dog was delivering straight up Shakespearean performances, and he probably was saddled with human coworker who had to make use of such unprofessional things as second takes.

My condolences, Jed, my condolences.
