“All right, so the vampire’s gravestone is–”

“Cenotaph.”

“What?”

“It’s only a gravestone if it marks the location of a body. A monument honouring someone whose body isn’t present is a cenotaph.”

“I’m… not sure that’s how it works if the body gets up and walks away on its own.“

“There’s precedent for gravestones being reclassified as cenotaphs if the body is later removed and reinterred elsewhere. There’s no rule that says the body itself can’t do the removing.“

“Okay, but the body very much is coming back. That’s kind of what we’re here to accomplish.”

“So it’s a temporary cenotaph.”

“And naturally our greatest concern here is avoiding semantic ambiguity.“

“Semantic ambiguity is how vampires get you.”

Men in Black (1997) dir. Barry Sonnenfeld

I use this scene to explain implicit bias to people. his first instinct is to assume the aliens are violent and the girl is innocent, but instead of acting on those assumptions he takes time to recognize his bias, look at the situation again, and then act. 

I watched this with my dad when I was fairly young, and I remember thinking that this was why he got chosen; before he even really knew what was going on, he didn’t assume that aliens were dangerous monsters.

It goes even further. The Men in Black IMPLICITLY are pro-non-violent-aliens-living-among-humans.

Therefore Jay taking note of how each one seems menacing but notes the smaller details is exactly what the MiB are looking for. The other candidates fired at every nonhuman looking entity in the simulation.

Look closely and you’ll see the simulation is full of big teeth, dangerous looking aliens doing mundane tasks like crossing the street, preparing for a sneeze, hailing a taxi, getting a hot dog from a vendor.

The Men in Black SPECIFICALLY look for people who are perfect at sorting out what an actual problem is in a crowded situation. Zed must have been beaming on the inside. This man really WAS a perfect candidate.

I love pointing this out: the novelization confirms, yes, he was 100% right in his assessment there

Alex O’Loughlin as Steve McGarret in Hawaii Five-0

Rescuing Danno

PONO KAULIKE   5.18

I just want to appreciate how much Danny loves Steve for a moment.

I mean Danny is canonically scared of everything. But every time Steve is in the worst danger a person could possibly get in, Danny doesn’t even hesitate for a moment to come save him. 

Steve: Danno I’m being tortured in a bunker in North Korea :(

Danny: sit tight, babe, I’m coming to get you <3

Steve: baby I’ve been captured by the taliban :(

Danny: No problem at all, babe, please hold while I bully me way onto an army plane so I can be there for you <3

Steve: there’s a nuclear bomb and I have to drop it in the ocean :(

Danny: don’t even worry about it, babe, I’ll help you carry it <3

Steve: Danno I’ve been shot flying an airplane :(

Danny: you just rest up, babe, I’ll land the plane on the beach so you can get help faster even though it lowers my own chances <3

Steve: baby my liver’s shredded and I have no chance of getting a new one :(

Danny: No worries, babe, you can have mine <3

These boys I s2g

HAWAII FIVE 0: UA HIKI MAI KAPALENA PAU

This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and most romantic scenes I’ve ever seen.

The way Steve is looking at him, almost as if he’s surprised that Danny would save him. These two put everyone else first and deem themselves unworthy of saving. So, when Danny and their ohana come to Korea, Steve literally has no idea how to process any of it, except cling to Danny and their warmth his body provides.

Vending machine but it vends moss covered rocks, small opals, faux ivory brooches, mushrooms to plant, tiny sacks of dirt, seaglass, and gnome statues

i can’t get over how everyone in fma just accepted that alphonse was a ten year old boy in a big ol suit of armour. he would actually have to be huge to even fit inside and control the armour with any dexterity so i guess when he told people “oh yeah i’m a child that’s why my voice sounds like i just came out the womb” they had no alternative but to accept that there was an extremely jacked six-foot ten year old in there, just chillin

me, learning about the greek pantheon in elementary: wow, I love athena, so brave and smart

me, after reading about the story of medusa: athena is a spiteful, dumb bitch who can’t direct her anger at the right people! wack ass hoe

Me, after learning than Medusas head was used as a sign of safety and female autonomy in women’s spaces because it was seen as a gift from Athena, to allow Medusa never to be harmed that way again: oh dope, Athenas on our side. Kill a man who dares to look upon you with possession in his heart.

Me, after learning that Athena holds herself to the ‘not like other girls’ standard and usuallys sides with whatever the nearest dick-toting diety says: what the fuck what a fake bitch

Me, after learning that most of the media depicting Greek Gods by the ancient Greeks that survives today was commissioned, designed, and made by men, and therefore does not depict female interpretation or telling of the myths, and is probably extremely biased towards a misogynistic portrayal of a strong woman: the canon Athena was in our hearts all along.

Me, after hearing the myth about Athena cursing Arachne into the first spider because she beat the goddess in a weaving contest: What a bitch ? The Arrogance.

 Me, after hearing there are three versions of the myth, and the others have Arachne hang herself in shame so Athena brought her back to life as a spider and the third version having Zeus curse the loser to never touch a spindle wheel and when Arachne lost Athena took pity on her and transformed her so she could weave without breaking her oath: Goddess just wanted this fine artist to weave forever, doing what she loved. she ain’t that bitch
