Au fucking revoir Mister Prince

[anthoniejcrowley]

“To quote from Whitman: ‘O me! O life! Of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless. Of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?’ Answer. That you are here. That life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”

DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989) dir. Peter Weir

[captainlordauditor]

some iconic dialogue that sounds like its from the great canon of literature but are actually from memes

I will face God and walk backwards into Hell

“I’ll do whatever you want” “then perish”

I have been through hell and come out singing

feel free to add more!

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

There are no gods here

Do I look like the kind of man who dies

God’s dead and soon we will be too

I thought there were no heroes left in this world 

[helloitstrash]

• you kneel before my throne unaware that it was built on lies

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Impudent of you to assume I will meet a mortal end

This is hell’s territory and I am beholden to no gods

Bury me shallow, I’ll be back

[hubriscomplex]

- take this gift, for the gods surely won’t

[unheavenlycreatures]

God wishes he were me

One day, you will be face to face with whatever saw fit to let you exist in the universe, and you will have to justify the space you’ve filled

[thatadult]

one of the weirdest ways that language is evolving in response to the internet is that “bad words” just. do not have the same impact anymore. i constantly forget that some people think ‘fuck you’ is a terrible insult

so threats and insults have to start getting really out there if the person wants to even mean anything. if a person told me to die i’d shrug it off but if i opened a post’s tags and saw “op i will sneak into your house and replace all your shoelaces with cooked pasta” do you know how shaken i’d be? do you know how upset i’d be if i saw “op is the personification of the look you share w other people in the grocery store when some dude is causing A Scene™ for no reason”

[zmyaro]

So you are saying English curses on the Internet are becoming more like Yiddish curses?

[feywildwest]

I sincerely hope so but I can’t say I’m familiar with yiddish curses and i am begging you to tell me a few

[gallusrostromegalus]

My Personal favorite is:

“May all your teeth fall out, except for one, to give you a toothache.”

[captainlordauditor]

“OP is a complete onion.” (their head is in the ground)

“I hope I have the privilege of sewing your shroud” is another one I like.

[antongarou]

“May you have a hundred houses, with a hundred bedrooms each, and ten beds in each room. And may the plague throw you from one bed to the other”

“May your death be sweet. Run over by a truck full of sugar”

“May everyone congratulate your widow at your funeral”

[lesbiansandpuns]

Also see:

“May your grandfather be possessed by a demon”

“May you choke on your next juicy morsel”

“May a fire burn in your guts”

And my favorite: “May your liver come out through your nose piece by piece”

[jewblog]

i was thinking of this one on pesach (for obvious reasons): “may you go to the toilet every three minutes or every three months”

some more faves:

may your bones be broken as often as the ten commandments

may god help you like cupping helps a corpse

he should turn into a chandelier, so he’ll hang by day and burn by night

he’s a yimach-shmoynik (idk how to translate this other than “someone whose name should be erased” but more literally it’s a noun for someone about whom you say yimach shmo)

[mossadspydolphin]

“Your luck should be as bright as the new moon.”

“May you own three ships full of treasure, all sunk.”

“I should outlive you long enough to bury you.”

“May you own a dozen stores, and may you have many customers, and may you have nothing they do need and everything they don’t.”

“May a child be named after you soon.” (When Ivanka Trump was expecting her youngest child during the 2015 campaign, I frequently expressed the wish that she would be able to name the baby for her father. Alas, she was not.)

“God should bless him with three people: one should grab him, the second should stab him and the third should hide him.”

Yiddish curses tend to fall into two categories: “I hope you fucking die” and “Live long and be miserable.”

Whats up with Hei Hei in some of the Moana promo art and posters? Like

And like 

And even???? 

He’s so angry and ready to Throw Down 

But then in actuality he’s just 

Disney explain

[youkaiyume]

I went to the “Behind the Scenes” panel for Moana at CTN expo this year and the explanation is as follows:

In development, HeiHei used to be a character meant to be Moana’s watchdog. He stands to the side making sure she stays out of trouble (and away from the sea) and judges her (sort of like Flint the hummingbird from Pocahontas) but the directors were worried that it made him too unlikeable. John Lasseter gave the crew about 48 hours to think of a way to figure out how to save his character or else he’d be cut from the film. So instead HeiHei’s IQ was lowered waaaay down, making him more lovable and funny. During a story pitch in which Moana had to retrieve the Heart of Te Fiti from the Kakamora, she originally only retrieved the stone. The artists reboarded it exactly the same except HeiHei swallowed it and the Kakamora was lugging around a chicken instead and it instantly made everything more hilarious. To which Lasseter exclaimed at that moment: “THE CHICKEN LIVES!” an inside joke that was kept at the end of the film when the ocean spat HeiHei onto the shore and Maui remarks “the chicken lives!”  

[shatterstag]

best thing about this movie was the perfectly marketed/polished commercial animal side kick just waiting to be the new olaf and then its in the movie for like 3 mins tops and instead a chicken that eats rocks gets to be the disney animal companion™

[tafkarfanfic]

IT GETS BETTER.

Once they rewrote the character they were in a panic. Who could voice such a role?

None other than Alan Tudyk, known as “Walt Disney Studios’ lucky charm” due to his roles as Duke in Frozen, King Candy in Wreck-It Ralph and KTSO in Rogue One, who made the front freaking page of the Wall Street Journal due to his performance.

Tudyk says: “The character you’re playing, even though he’s a rooster and is really stupid, you approach it in the same way you would approach Hamlet, which is exactly how I approached it. But they give you the circumstances. “You’re on the boat. You didn’t expect to be here. You just climbed in a boat to maybe sleep. You don’t even know why you climbed in the boat. You’re really that dumb. Every three minutes is a new world to you, so you see that you’re trapped on this boat, and you freak out. Go.” 

Note: Tudyk went to Julliard.

[stickmarionette]

Also: Alan Tudyk is the only non-Pasifika/Maori person in the voice cast. He plays the chicken.

#JusticeForLakeithSmith Campaign organized by Lakeith Smith

Trying to raise at least $30,000 for lawyer to get guaranteed appeal release #BLM… Lakeith Smith needs your support for #JusticeForLakeithSm

[madelinison]

Don’t donate to change . Org donate to the go fund me

[batslime]

A few months ago I reblogged a post sharing Jazzy’s gofundme, a girl who was poisoned by her roommate, noting that she only had about half her goal despite the fund being up for several years. I saw a lot of people reblog that version; Just a month or so later when I checked her fund again it had been reached!! And tons of people still reblog it.

I think when people are just scrolling and they come across these posts they don’t check immediately and forget about it, seeing all the notes and assuming the fund is doing well- I think more people need this visualized to realize this person REALLY needs help.

We can’t let Lakeith continue to be punished in this repulsive system. Please make sure him and his fund get the attention Jazzy does and let’s do everything we can to get him to the goal!! We have to reunite him with his family by any means possible.

As of today ( Saturday, August 8th, 2020 ) Lakeith is $12,061 from his goal!!

[ro-zden]

As of today (Sunday 28th March 2021) Lakeith has surpassed his goal by over $3,000!

This money was just for the lawyer to appeal; you can still help by signing the petition on change.org (just don’t donate once you do) – it hasn’t hit the 1,000,000 signature goal yet! Please sign and help him get his justice!

Why is tumblr so weird?

And I am not talking about the content on this website… I am talking about the website itself, like from a technical standpoint…

for example: the Create Post window looks like this:

but when you zoom in 200% with your browser it suddenly changes to this?

and this window doesn’t just look different, it is miles ahead of the other one in every single way, for example this his the build in text editor:

yeah, you can change color and font without doing any HTML bullshit… 

And the wildest thing… you’re not limited to one kind of post with this create post window… 

You want to create a hybrid post that has pictures, text, a video and music? you can just do that no problem…

WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU HIDE THIS BEHIND 200% ZOOM????

[manga-and-stuff]

I didn’t know this so I am guessing quite a few of you probably don’t know about it either…

Fire Lord Zuko passing a law that forbids challenging anyone under the age of majority to Agni Kai

Fire Lord Zuko waiting until the day he reaches the age of majority to pass this law, lest anyone think he is a coward

(No one. Literally no one would have thought that, but it’s generally regarded as a very classy move regardless)

[constallayetions]

Wait but also, until then, if anyone under the age of majority is challenged

Zuko fights it for them.

Which, especially in more rural towns (where Agni Kais are less of a public event and more of a fast and violent duel) is terrifying because you challenge your neighbor’s kid over a stolen chicken-fish and all of a sudden the Fire Lord is showing up???

But, those few who still challenge those who should be kids learn quickly to regret it.

[grayblebayble]

Okay but this implies that Zuko knows whenever someone challenges a kid to an Agni Kai and is there before the battle takes place.

Firelord Zuko: *wakes up in a cold sweat near midnight*

Firelord Zuko: *running down the palace hallways while still struggling to put in his pants, being chased by his team of bodyguards* I’M GOING TO HING WA ISLAND TO KICK SOMEBODY’S ASS SEE YOU IN A WEEK BITCHES
