Various stars & moon details from my gouache paintings 🌙✨

Why do people need subtitles to watch a show in English? I don't get it. What is wrong with the ears of young people?

ooh this angers me so much. so let's make a poll of it.

edit for clarification: the Deaf/HoH option includes any hearing impairment and d/Deaf people ^^

I can't count the number of times when subtitles actually gave very important information, for instance when distant TV or radio broadcast can't be heard, you have access to some extra context with the subtitles. Also, remembering the names of characters is made that much faster! Also also, places! Place names are sometimes have unpredictable spellings, places you've never heard of! You lose so much info when you don't have subtitles.

Good way for kids to learn sight-reading

Subtitles also often tell you the name of the song that’s playing in the scene which is so helpful if you don’t recognise the song

That said, they would sure be a lot more useful IF THEY WERE ACCURATE!

It disgusts me how so much subtitling is just... wrong. Incorrect words, shortening things for convenience, not even bothering to translate other languages... its just unfair.

I just saw a comic about the book? musical? Wicked, and I've never read or seen it and I'm left with the question: Did the author EVER read a single Oz book?

What do you mean Scarecrow is a guy who got turned into a scarecrow. No he's not?!??

Checkmate, Netflix

I gotta make this.

“It wasnt the real mona lisa bc the real mona lisa was painted on wood and thats clearly canvass” versus “It was the real Mona Lisa, just suspend your disbelief for a second” — fam. Both options are good. Both options are great.

Either it was the real mona lisa, in which case, Miles Bron is a murdering idea-stealing phony who will be forever known as the guy who destroyed THEE mona lisa, and there is absolutely no coming back from that —-

OR, it was a fake, bc the museum was like “lmfao this joker thinks we’d loan him the ACTUAL mona lisa? Ahahahahaha” in which case, there’s all the initial press coverage of the explosion and the shitty fuel and the murders and then the revelation that THEE MONA LISA was destroyed on Miles Bron’s watch, and all of that plays out across the media, and THEN!!! the Lourve gets to step forward saying “dont worrry guys. We never gave him the real painting. We didn’t trust him with it. We gave him a fake and he never noticed,” which the media would have a FIELD DAY with, because it’s like the resurrection of Jesus only with a painting, instead of a person, and also, the whole thing is funny as FUCK, bc they gave him a fake and he didnt notice, and also-also, clearly the Lourve was ahead of the curve when it came to recognising Miles’ stupidity, and it’ll stay in the media for WEEKS, that Miles was conned by the lourve and clearly they were right to trick him because LOOK WHAT HAPPENED to the fake Mona lisa, PLUS of course all the rest of the stuff like the 2 murders and the hydrogen fuel and the idea theft and etc.

Like?? There’s no losing here. Both options are great. If it was real, then he’ll never live it down, and if it was fake, he’ll never live it down. Either way: fantastic

Please do not forget Option C!

Miles Bron was never in contact with the Louvre.

“France needed some money”? What the hell is that? And the ridiculous security system installed in his home? Miles was scammed.

They rented him a “Mona Lisa” on canvas, too big as well I’m pretty sure, and insisted on coming in and installing a crazy fucking thing in his home. What other artworks did they swap out with fakes while installing their fake? How much of his security system did they sabotage/tap into while they were there? What better mark for spearfishing than an uneducated moron with an island full of valuables that probably aren’t even on the books?

“It’s not about the painting, Ms. Devereaux. I want his reputation destroyed so he can never ruin another artist’s life again.”

“The con is still on. All we have to do is keep him on the hook until the pandemic is over.”

“Um, remember how we were waiting for the vaccines before we wrapped up the Bron job?” *holds up a newspaper* “About that…”

made this cake for my bf’s 30th birthday and i’m so annoyingly proud of it

You should be proud. You can proudly stand on that high ground.

imagine being cassandra pentaghast rushing for the breach and your prisoner stops to mine iron like for real out of the ground

figured out why there's been an uptick in me getting blocked by seemingly cool people recently. apparently my description looks like this on ios:

it's supposed to say "transmisogyny not welcome". tumblr fucking "coolsville sucks"ed me. i'm literally a trans woman.

The L in LGBT is short for Lady who... erm, how shall I put this... prefers the company of women

The B in LGBT is short for "bonus 10% damage against everyone"

the T stands for "That's against community guidelines"

glad google ai is on top of this

Renfield.

This assumes a single fly weighs 8g, which is the weight of a 1-2 week old mouse (!). If you are unfamiliar with metrics: 100g is a bit less a quarter of a pound.

Btw, Wikipedia says a single house fly weighs in the range of 0.2 grams, so Google has discovered a world where flies are about 40x bigger

I was going to tell you that horseflies still absolutely do not weigh 8 grams

but I found a funnier answer

Actually the portrait of Charles is red to represent enthusiasm, energy, determination, passion, strength, leadership, and love. It doesn't matter that it looks like he's walking through fountains of blood spilled by the British empire! Some of you people need to learn color theory

i was WAITING for this post

tumblr coming across the painting:

#oh my fucking god #i can't tell if op is joking or sincere

rest easy, friend. 100% joking.

I love when Dean Winchester is like “now look buddy I’m no Nikola Tesla pal but I know for damn sure I didn’t come all the way down to this backwater bowling alley for you to bust a ball in my face buddy, I wanna know which way this little Shirley Temple candlestick maker crocodile son of a bitch went and I wanna know now” and Sam is like [sigh] “he wants to know if you’ve seen our dog. please give us a call if you see him”

no one has ever made basic magic staff attacks look as cool as dragon age 2 did in 2011

#AND they let you just smack enemies with your staff when they got close#what a game
