“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”

Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

Me getting slammed with notifications on this post in particular:

I used to love going to San Diego for Comic Con by train. I’d start in Chicago, take a train that would take two or three days of bimbling through lower Illinois and Texas and New Mexico and I’d get to LA and then a commuter train to San Diego. I’d meet thousands of people in San Diego and then I’d get on the train in LA and go up the coast and then head East and spend another day or two decompressing until I got off in Minneapolis St Paul. It was the best time of the year. Sometimes I’d write and sometimes I’d stare out of the window.

if i had seen the transition from sepia to color in wizard of oz in 1939 i would have lost my shit i would've started screaming in the theater

Okay no but like, I am still SO ENAMORED by this transition y’all, ‘cause when Dorothy opens the door of the house onto the colors of Oz, the inside of the house is still sepia toned. And they did that by literally making the interior and the costume and everything SEPIA TONED. You had a double for Judy Garland in a specifically-created sepia-toned dress, in a sepia-toned set, opening the door, backing out of frame, and then the Dorothy that steps back into frame is Judy Garland in her full color costume and makeup, stepping out into the color set.

It’s just

Y’all it’s such a GREAT EFFECT, and this was before computer effects and green screen, it was all practical and yeah it feels like nothing now, but at the time, man, not only was technicolor new, but I’m pretty sure no other movie had done a transition out of b/w or sepia into color, and even knowing it was a technicolor film, that must have just been fucking wild to see! It still is wild to see!! It’s so good.

The technique of switching between double and main actor without an edit is called a Texas Switch and it's still used today, it's very neat to have something so simple yet tricky persist pretty much just because it genuinely looks better to do it with timing than with editing.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

Time to bring this back. Again.

Apparently this is evergreen. Dammit.

I remember adults telling me, as a kid that girls can be equal to boys in all fields including athletics. Now, they consider girls to be delicate flowers who could never hope to compete against boys.

Canada’s rainbow money

Fun fact for Americans: our money is technically made of plastic and they won’t get wet/gross when you accidentally wash them, and you also can’t rip any bills.

Everybody is in love with canadian money, the thing is who isn’t?

The funniest thing ever is to see canadians try to use american money. One of my friends asked me “HOW DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHICH ONE IS WHICH?! THEY’RE ALL THE SAME COLOR!”

its called reading the numbers

americans learn at an early age to differentiate between the faces of old white men

Why is the queen of England on Canadian money?

Because England basically raised Canada until we were old enough to make our own decisions.

America left home super early

and made bad life choices as a result.

Another Peter Hale Rant: Werewolf Healing

I’m sorry, but the more I think about it, the angrier I get at Derek and Laura and even Deaton. Either this was poor writing on Jeff & co’s part (more than likely), or just poor characterization, but why in the world did no one do better by Peter during his hospitalization? SUPERNATURALLY speaking?

I mean, the first thing I would have done was take Peter to Deaton, and have the man perform some sort of mumbo jumbo to cure/treat him – if not of his catatonia than at least of his burn scars (which must have been SO painful, poor baby).

I’m just thinking of everything we’ve seen on the show these past few seasons in the ways of supernatural healing and pseudoscience: 

- The Nemeton can do anything it wants. Lay Peter on the stump, offer a little blood when the moon is full or the ley lines are resonating or whatever, and I bet something freaky could/would have happened.
- Derek cured Cora’s mistletoe poisoning with his Alpha spark. Laura was obviously useless as an alpha – why didn’t she take Peter with them and have him hospitalized in NY? Why did she ditch him in Beacon Hills while she and Derek gallivanted off clear across the country? What kind of pack bond or anchor would Peter hope to have, with his alpha and family having abandoned him? (Yet people wonder why he went crazy. >_>)
- Peter sank his claws into the neck of I don’t even know how many people, including breaking the possession of a 1000 year old Nogitsune – you mean to tell me Laura or Derek couldn’t have done the same to go into Peter’s mind and break him out of his coma?
- Eichen House exists to “treat” troubled/troublesome supers, yet Peter was stowed away at Beacons Crossing Home? Whyyyyy?
- The Dread Doctors were cooking up medical marvels/horrors; I’m sure there’s a manual somewhere to treating burn marks in their little Frankenstein lab
- Druids/Darachs clearly have more tricks up their sleeves than mountain ash and ice baths. I bet a little mind-meld or hypnosis from someone like Jennifer or Marin, if not Deaton, could have helped.
- The Argent bestiary has more supers/creatures documented than have even appeared on the show, so who knows what else is out there with curative powers
- Speaking of Argents: the freaking Nine Herbs Charm – DRUID magic, people – where oh WHERE was Deaton with this precious gem!? It worked on Peter in…like…moments.
- Banshees.literally have the power of life and death, on top of their mental powers; okay so Meredith wasn’t in the right head-space to help anyone, but come on. Come on.
- Basic werewolf healing & regenerative abilities. Why didn’t they just wait for the burns to scab over, then cut them open again so they could heal better the second time around? Perhaps Peter’s catatonia had something to do with it, but the man got a laced tomahawk to the chest and fingers lobbed off and his throat slit and all kinds of nonsense, and those werewolf powers seemed a bit more effective than to leave him so disfigured after the fire.
- Why does Derek get to Evolve or whatever, but Peter doesn’t? Peter’s been through more metamorphoses than everyone on this show combined. I’m honestly shocked he’s not a True Alpha.

NO ONE amongst the Hales’ super!connections had anything better to suggest than just dumping Peter an a nursing home and leaving him there to rot for SIX YEARS?

And how was that even a good idea? 

What if Peter spontaneously wolfed out as a subconscious reflex action, right there while the nurses and doctors were treating him (god forbid during a FULL MOON)? What if Peter woke out of his coma, and just indiscriminately started attacking people right then and there, thinking he was in danger or in an unsafe place?

Alright, of course it can be argued that Jeff & Co were just making stuff up as they went along, so TW’s supernatural universe circa Season 1 was naturally less…super than the TW fustercluck of say post-Season 3. But in the face of everything that’s been introduced to the show since then, it really doesn’t do the original premise of the show any favors. It leaves me sitting here just confused, like: why did any of this even happen? 

I’m sorry, is it just me who thinks Peter was done a major disservice on this show?

This 100% shout it from the roof tops.

And now I'm thinking of Peter as a true Alpha
