BROOKLYN NINE NINE — The Party

Saw this on a door at work.

# the lights are agog # the ceiling’s aghast # is the desk drawer in love at last?

need to reblog this again for those tags

Rest in Peace, Bernard Hill 🤍🕊

Bernard Hill was a legend. He infused Theoden with so much warmth and strength. His kindness to Merry, his love for Eowyn, his grief for his son, his guilt over his failures of king, yet his aura of power, his commanding presence, and his undeniable might as a warrior, made Theoden a compelling and beautiful character.

not just winry but EVERY FEMALE CHARACTER IN THE WHOLE DAMN SERIES IS BADASS AS FUCK

FRIENDS 5.17 “The One with Rachel's Inadvertent Kiss"

Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says “Yeah I killed a huge spider…Shelob, I think?”

And Gandalf just blinks and is like, “You what now?”

“Yeah, killed it. Had to save Frodo”

Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.

the daughter of the embodiment of darkness which ate the original sun and moon and almost ate the devil.

That's not important. What is important is that it was a danger to Mister Frodo.

Sci-fi show: There's no religion in the future. Mankind has evolved beyond such silly superstitions.

Me: But that woman's in hijab. And that woman has a bindi!

Sci-fi show: Yes, in this utopian future, mankind is tolerant and inclusive of all diversity.

Me: ...so Arabs and Indians are less evolved than whites, who are smart enough to have become atheists?

Sci-fi show:

They just dont see them as religion, but funny halloween-ish costumes that non-whites wear daily.

Like thats why the whole "try a hijab for a day" thing exist. They would never try wearing a cross or a kippah for a day. Bc they get that that is religious stuff.

But hijabs are just little costumes for when you draw your brown (and fat, for some reason its almost always also fat) female character for the current tv show. To show how brown she is. Not religion.

I also reckon the writers wish they didn’t have to put those in but the network executives were like “you have to show diversity” so they’re like “fuck it, have a bindi”

It's incredible how people have been protesting pants and skirts not having pockets but not a single peep is heard over the fact that skirts no longer have underskirts by default. Underskirts (or lining) was a thing when I was a child, no skirt would be made without lining, you didn't have to think and check if your whole ass is visible in a skirt because lining was a thing!!!! Now most skirts don't and it's simply because it's cheaper, fuck the fact that a customer doesn't want their panties shown in broad daylight, it saves a couple of cents on material.

okay so this has definitely breached containment and I want to point something out:

Good old Merry did wHAT .

Not enough cautionary tales in literature these days where sometimes the thing tempting you to leave your friends and family behind for a "higher purpose", "pursue your full potential" is actually evil disguised as an angel of light Yeah you can still find some of this in the horror genre but this is also literally how I see every infidelity plot and many other types of plots

Is this that head canon you guys keep talking about?

a lot of stories will take a so-called "golden age" period and go "hey it wasn't actually that good, in fact it kind of sucked for basically everyone but a few guys who benefitted from exploiting the rest" and i can respect that because i love a good exposure of the bones the system is built on, but the thing is i also kind of want more stories where it really was that good and just as horrifying for it. empires bursting at the seams with opulence, where gold really does run as freely as blood in the gem-encrusted streets. warriors clad in shining armour, with weapons so bright and sharp they hurt to look at. every day is overflowing with possibility, every night a party where people gorge themselves sick on sheer excess and still return for more. even the poorest man in the region lives in comparative luxury to his poverty-stricken peers elsewhere. and none of it is sustainable. it's collapsing under its own weight and the rot eating at its heart, its bottomless hunger barely kept at bay. it's a society that isn't built to last or be outlived.
