folklore by taylor swift (released july 24, 2020)

A tale that becomes folklore is one that is passed down and whispered around. Sometimes even sung about. The lines between fantasy and reality blur and the boundaries between truth and fiction become almost indiscernible. Speculation, over time, becomes fact. Myths, ghost stories, and fables. Fairytales and parables. Gossip and legend. Someone’s secrets written in the sky for all to behold.

Legally Blonde (2001) dir. Robert Luketic

I actually think this is exactly the point of the scene. Warner clearly thinks of Marilyn as gorgeous but dumb and Jackie as smart but less sexy. But we’re in this movie from Elle’s point of view. And Elle doesn’t understand Warner’s implication here because, to her, both these women are successful and beautiful and amazing. The only difference is one is blonde and the other is a brunette. 

This scene isn’t trying to make Elle look stupid, because the point of the movie is that she’s not. She’s just incredibly, unabashedly feminine. And Elle’s way of thinking here is right. The main difference between Marilyn and Jackie, that Warner would know of and therefore could be alluding to, that is also something Marilyn and Elle have in common with each other, is their hair colour. 

This is also a great point because people like to think Marilyn Monroe was vapid and dumb due to her film roles but she was actually incredibly intelligent and also just a great person all around, just like how Elle might seem dumb but is able to get into law school on her own merit. Neither should be underestimated!

Does anyone else remember Brett Kavanaugh throwing one childish mantrum™ after another during his confirmation hearings? But yeah, sure, please keep telling me how AOC is the “emotional” one.

Republicans: Crying for others who are suffering is a sign of weakness and instability, but crying for yourself? That shows real character.

It has officially been 4.5 hours since I started trying to get tickets for #loverfesteast

And I’m still waiting 😭😭😭 my cousin tried to get us tickets and all she could get was $500 seats.

Update: I didn’t even get to the end of the line and Ticketmaster ran out of tickets. Guess I can go buy the $1500 floor seats scalpers are selling on stub hub 🤦🏼‍♀️

This is one of my favorite posts because that cat’s fucking name is fucking meatloaf

Let us just appreciate that this person’s dad didn’t know when they would be home and so he couldn’t plan for them to be able to join the family for dinner, but he knew with no doubts that dear sweet Meatloaf staying in that exact position for hours was an absolute in this scenario. Truly, that cat was named well.

one of my favorite posts on tumblr over the course of 5 fucking years.. clearly i need a life

Meatloaf is a reliable cat and did not steal the money for selfish reasons. A rare friend.
