You let out an irritated huff as you tried to get your monstrosity of a ball gown to rest comfortably. It was a lost cause though, the corset was digging in (why they were back in fashion you had no clue, they belonged in the 16th century, not the 21st) and the puffy skirt ruffled loudly with every movement. Your hair was pinned up so tightly that you had a permanent headache and the heels you wore were torturous.
The company around you wasn’t much better. You really wished you were anywhere else than this damned ball. Honestly, you didn’t even need to be at this ball. Yes, it was hosted by your father the king, and yes the main point was for you to socialise and meet potential suitors. But it's not like you’ll actually get to choose your suitor, so your presence wasn’t really required.
So when you got the opportunity you made the excuse that you needed to go to the bathroom and made your escape. As soon as you were out of the heaving ballroom you decided you needed some air before heading back to your bedroom.
Once you stepped outside you kicked off your heels, plucked the tiara from your hair and pulled out the pins to let your hair lie naturally once more. You leant back against the cool stone walls, took a few deep breaths and appreciated the silence.
That silence was disrupted when you heard a male voice call out from around the corner “no, no, no you stupid squid!”
Ahhh omg this is so cute 😍😍😍
Jake is such a cutie, playing Mario kart on the job 😂 but hey it helped him secure himself a princess. Now I imagine him as married in Prince and later on King and that's gonna be hilarious 😂 "the king has required your presence to play Mario kart" 😂😂😂
I'm so glad she got to meet him without him knowing who she is though 🥰
It would be hilarious to have a gamer queen and king 😂😂😂
“Your Majesties, the ambassador is here to see you”
“In a minute, I need to finish this tournament!”
Thank you for reading, sharing and commenting I’m so so glad you enjoyed it! 🩵🩵🩵
I’m amazed this is getting released even though half of the audience walked out during its screening at TIFF. I have heard zero good reviews.

for gosling i'd recommend barbie obviously!, drive, blade runner, la la land, crazy stupid love, lars and the real girl, and the nice guys! (in whatever order)
for reynolds im not as familiar with him but probably the deadpool movies, the proposal, and definitely maybe!
Thank You!

Whoa!
“…I have hope to live, and am prepared to die.“
I’m ready to start stanning the Ryans, both Gosling and Reynolds. Tell me what movies I should watch first.
I am lazy this morning and I am watching this scene in bed over and over again… You might call me crazy, my hubby would if he would be here… *smiles* Do you realize that she is alread smiling when he addresses her? So cute… You can tell me what you want, but the way they are acting around each other in this tiny scene shows me, that something has indeed happened that was not displayed to the audience. I want this next movie!!!!

I love the Endgame hair

i am begging you all to stop treating this site like instagram if you dont want it to be content free by next year
actually i'm reblogging this again with commentary, fuck it.
There's people in the notes talking about "not basing your worth off numbers", and like. that isn't what this post is about. It's not a threat, either, it's a comment on how this site works, at a mechanical level.
Likes are worthless. Let me say that again.
Likes. Are. Worthless.
They don't do anything. They're a bookmark. They were never part of how tumblr works - in the early days we didn't even have a like button, and the site still more or less acts as though we don't. They're personal bookmarks and the only people who "get" anything from them are you (you bookmark the post) and the OP (maybe a very slight serotonin boost), but they don't keep the post in circulation, they don't keep it alive.
Without reblogs, a post will be dead in the water within an hour. No matter how good it is, no matter how many hours of painstaking love and attention its creator put into it, it will be dead within an hour and never seen again. It gets pushed down the dashboard and nobody aside from the followers who were online when it was posted will see it. And there's a huge difference in engagement on posts that get even one lucky reblog from someone with wider reach - that one reblog shows your post to five, ten, fifteen other people, and if one of those people also reblogs it, and so on and so forth, that's how posts stay alive and in circulation. It's like a contagion, but we're sharing creativity instead of disease.
And that matters. That "lifespan" of the post matters, artists and writers give up on this site and go to sites where posts have longer lifespans because it sucks to spend hours of your life, maybe even days, to get two notes and some fucking pocket lint for your efforts. We create for ourselves, but we share because we want people to see it, because that engagement offers positive feedback and encouragement to continue. But more than that, if every post (whether art, fic, gifset, whatever) is dying within an hour or a day of being posted, that means it's not making it onto your dashboard. And if it's not on your dashboard, you won't see it. This kills the site, after a while. You stop seeing the posts, because nobody is putting them on your dashboard, because this site doesn't have an algorithm like twitter and insta's and it shouldn't, it's the last bastion of chronological timelines.
Forgive my giant fucking rant I am so tired right now and full of the plague but like stop acting like artists and writers are just being whiny little babies, or "threatening" to withhold our fucking work (you're not entitled to it! it's ours! if we get nothing out of sharing it we're well within our rights to keep it private!) when we say this site will dry up without reblogs. We're just stating facts.
also I’ve seen some people in the tags say ‘oh there have always been more likes on posts’ no there haven’t ????
these are posts from 2013, look at the ratio
not to sound like a nursing home resident but back then people know that the point of this site was to reblog things and share them, not to bury them away among your other 23k liked posts
not to throw in my two cents but
like hey, why am i posting if the metaphors and imagery i craft are barely acknowledged? why am i posting if there's no discussion? if i know it's never going to make it out and reach people beyond my bubble?
nothing will stop me from writing, but this is definitely going to stop me from sharing
I don’t know why Tumblr cut the picture off, but I had to meme my thoughts as a food service worker who worked all weekend and gets Monday and Tuesday off.
