do you guys have a story in your head and when you’re bored you just add more to it and continue from where you left off
I was surprised to discover that there are people out there who DON’T do this. How do you keep yourself from going crazy in classes/meetings/religious services/etc. where you have to at least pretend to pay attention?
how much of ur online presence is performative and how much is it u being u

WHAT IS UP GIRL YOU LOOK FORBODING AND MALICIOUS
JJ Abrams has admitted… that he sets up mysteries in his movies without planning an answer and with no intention of actually ever answering the mysteries…. why does anyone let this man make movies? I think the Star Wars sequels really brought out the worst of this style of his. Like he set up all these mysteries, like Rey’s parents, who the fuck these Supreme Leader Snonk is, Finn’s connection with the force, with no plan ahead of time of what the answer to this stuff is. I felt like the last movie especially was affected by his “style” of pulling things out of his ass.
This is just called being bad at your job. His “narrative trick” is not planning shit ahead of time. This is embarrassing.
must be damn easy to buy presents for this guy
Wow. I could see the concept of a mystery box being really cool if implemented well and having the audience understand at some point that that’s what it was. But if you make every plot point a mystery box you just make the audience feel like fools for caring because none of it matters.
i often start writing with no idea how i’m going to resolve the conflicts i’m initiating, but it’s because i know that whatever i plan ahead of time, i’ll come up with something better once i’ve got more of the story down. i also think it comes out better when i have to solve things myself under restrictions just like the characters do.
but just… giving up… and never resolving it at all?
well gosh, why didn’t i think of that? i hereby declare all my WIPs on AO3 complete. if you don’t feel they ended in a good place, well, that’s on you, reader! you just don’t appreciate the UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES i created by getting sick and going on hiatus.
Dear hearing aid providers: stop only advertising your hearing aids for old people - from a deaf 19 year old who’s used hearing aids since she was 7
Note: you don’t have to use hearing aids, or have any form of hearing loss to be able to reblog this
Deaf people using hearing aids should be as normalized as people with vision loss wearing glasses.
babygirl you are strange and offputting
that’s enough emotions for a whole year. ciao
The earlier in the year you reblog this the better it gets

see shit like this is the reason that it’s so hard to turn my back on this website. Where else, pray tell, are you going to find this kind of quality nonsense.

Why was Shrek’s soundtrack so incredible like who sat down and decided that a movie about an ogre would have a beautiful Rufus Wainwright ballad followed by a Smash Mouth/Eddie Murphy cover of I’m A Believer and how can I thank them

Wait, why is “The Dodo” bad?
I got quite a few questions and responses about why the online brand / website / Facebook page “The Dodo” shouldn’t be supported. Here’s a quick rundown:
Misguided Anti-Captivity. They are often blatantly anti-captivity, or use anti-captivity language and/or promote anti-captivity views. They use language such as an animal is “trapped” in a zoo or an animal was “saved” from a zoo. They actively support and often get quotes from representatives from ZooCheck, an anti-zoo and anti-captivity organization, and support HSUS (Humane Society of the United States). Their reports on tragedies of animals being injured or dying at zoos are overwhelmingly full of blame, toxicity, and disrespect. Their ideas of anti-captivity are incredibly limited and misguided – they are often pro “sanctuary” with the idea that all sanctuaries are better and they rarely discuss any kind of conservation.
Anthropomorphism over Accuracy. They are wildly, ridiculously, inaccurately anthropomorphic. For example, a picture of a bear leaned against a wall is captioned as: “He looks desperate, depressed, despondent. He stares up, seeming to search for a way out.” They described an owl resting on someone’s shoulder as “missing the man who saved her so much she couldn’t stop hugging him.” A kitten “looks at his rescuers face to be reassured everything is okay.” One of their most recent articles is about a cow “shedding tears” and crying because it is sad. Overall, they are much more concerned with ‘tugging on heartstrings’ of animal lovers than with being accurate about animal behavior.
Unsafe Animal Interactions and Inappropriate Pets. Despite being anti-captivity when it comes to zoos specifically, they have often published videos of exotic pets and/or inappropriate free contact with wild/dangerous animals.
Lack of Primary Sources and Information. They often lack any resources to accurate information about their “news”. Recently they made a 45-second video which claimed that basically any elephant on display (from a Ringling Circus to a rural south Asian performance) was automatically and certainly being abused and tortured. There were no sources or proof to back this up, no resources to explore, nothing. They rarely have any kind of scientist or animal care worker as a source for any video or article, just activists.
Stealing and Editing Videos. You’ll notice almost every video on their site is made by them and hosted there, not shared from somewhere else. They take videos from other sources, add music and text, and call it their own. They almost never link to the original source.
Overall, “The Dodo” is not a news site. It’s a brand. It’s a website designed to get views and make money - it will do anything just to get those clicks. But it tries to sell itself as news, and therein lies the issue. They use strong language, buzzwords, and clickbait titles in order to push a vague, biased agenda that hurts those of us who work in zoos and other animal facilities.
Here is another strong, detailed breakdown of some of their common practices written by Why Animals Do the Thing
baby yoda is a slightly misleading term, given that he's displayed advanced mobility, thinking, planning, other milestones of physical and psychological development. therefore, I suggest that we call him The Yoddler
