I’m willing to wait for it.

News Anchor in my area loses it over a Fat Cat that likes to swim.

[missjonesie99]

I don’t know what’s funnier, how she said physical activities or the snort.

[auncyen]

I love how she gradually loses it. She gives it her best try and then you can just hear where her composure starts breaking down.

[tamhonksss]

i always lose it when her voice trips into the fifth dimension as she says physical activities

The reason Lord of the Rings’ special effects have held up so well and still look so gorgeous- especially in the backgrounds and environments– is because they weren’t **trying** to be realistic. 

LOTR’s special effects are stylized in a very careful, deliberate, and beautiful way.

In a behind-the-scenes video,  the films’ visual effects supervisor explained:

We wanted the look of the film to have this storybook look to it. This is one of the things that Peter Jackson would impress upon the post-grader. He would literally sit there with watercolor (paintings) and say: THIS is what I want it to look like.”

Compare Alan Lee’s watercolor painting (its texture, its limited and unreal color palette, and the careful use of bright highlights in specific places that “frame” the characters/create an interesting composition)–

To the very similar look of the final film:

Because the goal wasn’t to create a perfectly realistic version of Moria. It was to create a version of Moria that looked like a watercolor painting. 

And this “watercolor painting” effect isn’t just epic fantasy moments either. Even many of the non-fantastical backgrounds in Lord of the Rings don’t look “fully realistic.” They look very high-contrast and painterly, with dramatic unreal shafts of light bursting through the clouds:

And again, this is by design:

“We wanted to nudge it sideways from reality. New Zealand is a lovely country but it’s still New Zealand, still a real country….and I wanted to nudge it slightly to Middle Earth, which is an ancient world….a world of myth, and legend.”

And the watercolor storybook-inspired colors and lighting isn’t just in the environments either. It was also used in very basic dialogue scenes, to make you really feel like the entire movie was taking place in a fantasy world:

Because the stylization in Lord of the Rings is so consistent– but not to so exaggerated that it gets distracting— it creates this beautifully unreal and dreamlike tone that is completely unlike any other movies I’ve ever seen.They really do end up feeling like “watercolor fairy tales” come to life.

Harrison Ford eating his mic is still my fav

The fact that Hayden Christiansen is such an absolute klutz is my favorite

I had to do a thing in honor of my favorite 2018 book release, but I forgot to post it here. Whoops!

Anyone else read “What If It’s Us?” and loved it?

[authorctcallahan-deactivated202]

Update: So, Becky (yes, that Becky) actually decided to retroactively commission me for this piece? So I’ll be selling it soon, and y'all can look for it at events as she’ll be handing them out! Will post updates when it’s available ^.^

[theabyssmeowsback]

hey trans friends

if you need binders/breast forms/makeup/etc but don’t want your parents to know, now is the best time to get it. 

you can order whatever it is online and when the package comes in if the ask what it is you can say something like “it’s a secret!” or even just sssh them. they’ll assume it’s a present for whatever holiday you celebrate and probably won’t press the issue.

[lunarecord]

oh my god this is amazing

[mypoorfaves]

I normally don’t reblog stuff like this but this is a very important life hack!

[inexplicably-gaining-followers]

make sure you actually buy a present though or else this is all going to fall apart. it doesn’t have to be expensive, e.g. a “best dad” mug, socks, a bath bomb, multi-tool variations of everyday objects, soap, tea, a candle, et cetera.
