there's nothing worse than adventure

i think about this line so often

No one:

Michael Sheen every 5 minutes unprompted :

why is the metal community so pressed abt this it’s literally hilarious. 10/10. love it. i want it.

Metal elitists probably are, the rest of us think this is funny as hell. Also fuck yeah to making corpse paint easier to get and for relatively cheap

Isn’t this the potion Snow White’s stepmom used to turn herself into a witch 

I love how pleased with this whole process he looks.

^^^😊

need someone to look at me the way this man looks at his science experiment

Greatest science teacher ever = worst bartender ever

I think they’ll find it

I can’t reblog with vids so have a play by play

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)

There’s 104 days of summer vacation…

I saw disembodied parts of russian occupiers and my only response was to cheer. This is not violence for me

Every day I see photos and videos of massacred by russian fashists civilians, dead pets, badly injured people, and destroyed cultural objects. But somehow some dude slapping another dude on live is unacceptable heavy violence? Gosh.

Also, violence is more than present in *check notes*...everywhere? Both in life and on different tv shows? Way more greater violence than just slapping?

I had an interesting conversation about basically exactly this topic just a few days ago with a journalist/filmmaker from Germany:

He literally asked me if I had noticed what "fucked up type of war journalism" we have in Germany (and the same applies to the whole 'Western world'). I asked him what he means, because I don't follow Western news about the war much anymore. He says, for example, there's a missile strike of a residential building, dead children lying around, body parts, everything's on fire... and what you see and hear of it on the Tagesschau (8pm main news in Germany) is a bit of smoke coming from a damaged building while a voice tells you that "x people died in a missile strike of city y". The End.

I know exactly what he means. Like "fighting continues in Avdiivka" (if anybody would even report on this at all, which is in itself unlikely) equates in reality to "there are so many bodies lying around some places around Avdiivka, that vehicles have no choice than to drive over them, because you can't leave the roads (mines) and it's too many and too dangerous (drones & artillery) to clean them up." Or "thousands of children missing in Ukraine" means "20k Ukrainian kids got abducted to Russia/Belarus/occupied territories and are being detained in concentration camp like facilities, or sent to military camps for 'reeducation' and training to send them to war against their own people or, in the 'best' case, forcefully adopted into russian families, or, in the worst case, ended up in one of those children's torture chambers that were found in liberated towns." Or "Ukraine thinks about another mobilization round" means "the Ukrainian Army is so undermanned at the front, because everybody is fucking dead or in the hospital, that we're literally holding the line with a handful of people, who are exhausted to fucking death, haven't had a break in a year, and will probably get killed no matter what because there's no way that this is sustainable." And so on...

Mainstream media shows such an extremely sanitized version of this war, in both content and visually, that it's really no surprise that we don't get more sympathy and support. And for what? To protect people's feelings? Guess what, war sucks and is bloody and fucked up and people should see that because it's reality! The human psyche is perfectly equipped to deal with such images and information on a TV screen in one's safe and cozy home, and feeling hatred, being disgusted, feeling guilty are perfectly normal feelings within the range of human emotions. It's just disturbing to have to do it (as it should be), it might even make you question your own values and actions. God forbid we inconvenience people like this. Here's a memo for you: That's life! There are things that are disturbing. There are things that make you think, or question yourself. There are things that make you sick to your stomach seeing them. That's normal, and not an attack on you.

It's a big mistake, in my opinion, to try to 'protect' people from reality like this, because it's no protection at all, it's a special kind of brainwashing (making someone believe in a distorted version of reality) and re-conditioning (sensitizing people to the ugly sides of life so much that they become effectively dysfunctional, in a sense of gullible and passive = meek and helpless).

And there's a middle ground here, you know. They don't have to show a child's severed head on breakfast club or something, but if fucking 50 people get blown up while attending a memorial service for a fallen soldier (Hroza), then they should absolutely show that on the evening news. The pile of bodies lying on the ground. If we find fucking torture chambers designed for children (Izyum), they should fucking show the windowless room with blood stained chair, car batteries, and children's clothes lying in some corner. If people have to go through this, you should have to see it, so that you think about it, and do something against it!

Fucking demagogues, not showing this to people, and fucking cowards, looking away because it hurts to open your eyes.

Okay... Rant over. Гарного дня. Have a good day.

in recent events of that zoo losing the clouded leopard, it reminded me of the time i went to a large petting zoo and there was a free roaming little black sheep. cutest little guy i ever saw, soi went to the zookeeper nearby and said ‘i think its really cute how you have a sheep thats allowed to just walk around. ‘ then the zookeepers eyes widened and he grabbed his walky talky and ran 

this fucking clip from horrible histories (2009) was so ahead of its time im literally crying

reblog to form a mighty faggot with your mutuals

I also felt this part was hilarious and should be included

The thing about Cottagecore is that is a fetishized aesthetic of country life, divorced from labor and idealized by a primarily urban audience with a backward looking ethos of tradition. They are not prepared for the stresses of a rural life: farming; harvesting; tapping pumpkins to ensure none of them have been replaced with flesh; losing out on income by having to use one of your pigs in a blood sacrifice to paint protective sigils over your doors and windows; checking cracks and chimneys for the flesh-vines of the Pumpkin Lord; having to decide, before the Growth is complete, whether that's really your tradwife or an amassment of vines, leaves, and blood in the shape of your tradwife; ignoring their desperate pleas that "I'm me! No! No!" as you burn them alive, realizing too late you picked wrong; and the exploitative corporate nature of commercial farming in 2024. All seen through a deeply colonial lens, of course

downsizing seasons from 22 episodes to 13 to 8. describing miniseries as "8 hour movies". loudly declaring that shows with 20+ episodes per season cannot truly be good. complaining that "it couldve been a movie". complaining about filler episodes. complaining about bottle episodes. complaining about episodes that prioritize character over plot. fr i think y'all just dont like television

Need y’all to know that in the 1970’s a letter to the editor was published in Daily Telegraph where the author offhandedly used the phrase “Tolkien-like gloom” to describe an area with barren trees and JRRT himself wrote back an incensed rebuttal at the use of his name in a context that suggested anything negative about trees.

“I feel that it is unfair to use my name as an adjective qualifying ‘gloom’, especially in a context dealing with trees. In all my works I take the part of trees as against all their enemies”

He was like how dare you sir I am the biggest tree fan out there
