UM GUYS
I realized this by responding to another post… we haven’t seen Bess and George or HEARD from them since the Shattered Medallion. and I know everything is wonky because how long it was for mid and how long it’s been since mid but…..where are my girls??????????
I dunno this is inexplicable but I feel like a piece of me just shattered I haven’t gotten any new Bess and George content since 2014, I was FUCKING 13 YEARS OLD-
I just saw people saying they were going to pirate the new game. Do not pirate Mystery of the Seven Keys. If you want more Nancy Drew games, then support HeR by buying the game they made. They are not a big company like Ubisoft or EA, which have millions and millions of dollars. They're a small indie company. I'm completely for sticking it to the greedy game companies that decide to steal from you because apparently buying is not owning, and they can take your shit without your permission, but small studios? Nope.
My favorite ship dynamic is secret enemies to tour guide to Uber driver to friends to the only person who understands their love for magic to narrative foils to allies at the end of the world who continuously put each other in danger but still deeply care and worry about each other to lovers
I’ll kill him.
Anakin’s hair is hammered bronze, amber sunbeam chestnut honey, end of story
BRUH WHAT KIND OF BLACK MAGIC IS THIS 😂😂
HOW DID YOU GET IT SO SPECIFIC I actually think I might cry I’m scared.
Okay ladies and gentlemen this anon wins 😭😭😭 WHAT THE FUCK I’m still freaking out WHAT???
hi my name is Anakin Amber Sun’beam Chestnut Honey and i have hammered bronze amber sunbeam chestnut honey hair (that’s how i got my name)
Today I woke up and put on my midnight black tunic with my black leather tabbards and tall black leather boots and my dark leather glove just to go talk with the council,which is really dumb because they’re just a bunch of fucking posers.
i dont understand this at all and america scares the fuck out of me
This is the america they don’t want you to see
i love america
This is what you call Waffle House at 2 am when the bars close and everyone is drunk and hungry
*group of people having fun* this site: wtf this is so scary
People having safe fun at a waffle house is scary for most Tumblr bloggers, reports say.
Some context for those not familiar with Waffle House Culture:
Waffle House is one of the few chains in America that’s open 24/7/365, and where you can get both breakfast and lunch/dinner options at any time (I have had so many Breakfast Cheeseburgers at Waffle Houses). The food is really good, and people eat there at all times of the day or night, but it’s particularly popular as a late-night post-drinking spot because it’s all that’s open and it’s the kind of food that tastes especially good when you’re hammered.
Part of Waffle House Protocol is that all the servers and cooks greet every single customer as they come through the door. It sounds lame, but I’ve never been to a Waffle House where that greeting didn’t feel completely heartfelt. My mom is a health nut who could barely find anything on the menu she was willing to eat and yet she describes the Christmas Day lunch we had there one year as one of the nicest meals she’s ever had because everyone was so warm and welcoming. That sense of camaraderie gets turned up to 11, of course, at 2 a.m. when everyone’s shitfaced.
The jukeboxes have Waffle-House-themed songs on them (once you have heard “Raisins in my Toast” you will be earwormed forever) and there is an arcane system of hash brown ordering: scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, topped, diced, peppered, and/or capped. The hot sauce bottles say “Casa de Waffle.”
Once, in Oxford (UK), my husband and I walked past a kebab van very late one night and he said “why do I smell Waffle House”
The location of most Waffle Houses means there’s some… classism that tends to get tied up with Anti-Waffle House Discourse, which is probably lending itself, in part, to this being such a fraught topic. (I’m looking at a map and apparently I was born and raised right in the middle of the Peak Waffle House Density Zone)
It is, in the words of chef Anthony Bourdain, “indeed marvelous— an irony-free zone where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts; where everybody regardless of race, creed, color or degree of inebriation is welcomed.”
We’re not even gonna mention FEMA’s Waffle House Index where they determine how bad a natural disaster is by calling the local Waffle House to see if they’re open?
that last bit isn’t a joke
When Corona first hit, you knew it was bad because Waffle House shut down COMPLETELY.
And you can tell it’s still bad because they’ve put Ceiling High Plastic Dividers between every booth and blocked off all but like 2 tables at the counter and after a certain point at night? It’s carry-out only. Period. No exceptions.
Anyone who wants to tell you we are fine? I will post pictures of Waffle House not being fully functional 24/7 and go “no we’re not.”
Because this is a place that stays open with no power and boil water advisories. Ok? When every Waffle House in the country is back to normal - and I mean 💯 normal - only then will we be “through this” and not a moment before.
I literally said, “Oh shit, this is serious,” back in April when I heard all the Waffle Houses were closed. That is in fact a Danger Level Indicator in America, and for some reason people take it seriously for hurricanes, but not for pandemics. #CognitiveDissonance
And I fully agree -
When every Waffle House in the country is back to normal - and I mean 💯 normal - only then will we be “through this” and not a moment before.
ladies we need to start frantically and obsessively reading books in less than 24 hours again..remember how happy we were
“ah surely the kanye jeffree starr alleged hookup is the craziest thing I’ll hear today” I say, a full minute before checking twitter to see armed maskless white supremacists have stormed the capitol building and the senate is barricaded in their chamber
LADY BO-KATAN OF CLAN KRYZE I am not my sister.
Anakin: [pushing on a door that clearly says “pull”]
Ahsoka, taking pictures: Push harder.
New game I’ve decided to play: Try to summarize the prequels/Anakin Skywalker, but you can only do it in one gif/jpg. (Cheat mode: You can put up one more than one gif, but each one has to individually be an attempt to summarize him.) IT’S MY FAVORITE GAME.
THAT’S IT, THAT’S ANAKIN SKYWALKER.
@forcearama replied:
HOW COULD YOU NOT INCLUDE A GIF OF HIM STEALING THE LIGHTSABER FROM YOU IN VADER IMMORTAL
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS ONE BECAUSE IT’S HARD TO SEE WHY IT’S SO FUNNY AND SO VERY ANAKIN
Basically, Vader’s forced you into be sort of his apprentice and you’ve gotten about 15 minutes of lightsaber training and then he’s flinging you into this arena full of droids trying to murder you and basically just sits on his ass while you do the majority of the work, despite that THIS IS THE ONE THING EVERYONE AGREES YOU ARE GOOD AT, ANAKIN, FOR FUCK’S SAKE, until there’s just one or two left, that his last droid is coming to kill you as best it can, and what does Vader do? ONCE YOU HAVE KILLED ALL THE DROIDS FOR HIM THE DROIDS THAT HE IS REALLY GOOD AT KILLING BUT JUST CAN’T BE BOTHERED WITH TODAY I GUESS HE LITERALLY RIPS THE LIGHTSABER OUT OF YOUR HAND DESPITE THAT HE ALREADY HAS HIS OWN STILL WITH HIM TO DO A DRAMATIC FINISHING MOVE ON THE DROID LIKE “LOOK AT HOW AWESOME I AM” DESPITE THAT YOU JUST KILLED THE MAJORITY OF THE DROIDS IN THAT ROOM Those games really were just impeccable Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker characterization and TO THIS DAY I lose my shit over Vader stealing that lightsaber from you.
Cal: This is BD-1, he’s saved my life and he means the world to me.
Kanan: This is Chopper. He tries to kill me in my sleep at least once a week.
Cal: ...
Kanan: He’s my wife’s droid.
disney should take advantage of having both ewan mcgregor and hayden christensen on payroll and make a mini series where anakin & obi wan bitch at each other while commentating on major events in the Star Wars series as force ghosts
every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt
he stole christmas, kayla! stop with your #notallgrinches propaganda!
you know what if someone told me i was a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce i’d probably be bitter enough to steal christmas too
Interestingly, though The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is narrated by Boris Karloff, the big musical number is sung by the late Thurl Ravenscroft - an American voice actor better known as the voice of Tony the Tiger.
My headcanon is that the Grinch and Tony the Tiger had a bad breakup, and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is the resulting breakup song.
Did this really HAVE to be the first thing I see when I opened up Tumblr?
Yes.
oh god theres art
@altadude you know what must be done.
ive been avoiding reblogging this honestly but just. What the fuck. What the fuck tumblr
I apologize to all my followers for this
if i had to read this you do too
I have a hate-hate relationship with this
Good grief… I’m sorry, but I can’t not reblog this…
Tis the season bitches
DAMN IT WHY WOULD YOU BRING THIS BACK YOU HEATHEN
Why is this on my dash?
…..I’m.. Bothered? by the fact that I’m not bothered by this.
You’re not bothered?? I’m not only not bothered, I’m freaking invested. I’m having actual empathetic sadness for The Grinch. I want them to go into couple’s counseling. I want the “ten years later” when Tony visits Whoville on business and meets the reformed Grinch whose heart has grown 3 times its usual size. I want them to reminisce over a shared dinner of roast beast and wine, then spend a drunken night together, then realize that maybe things are different and people really do change. I want a 3-act story where there’s a long dark night of soul searching and the realization that maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance.
“maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance” is an incredibly profound quote and I did NOT expect to get it from a Grinch x Tony the Tiger post
so i’ve decided to make this happen actually
CHAPTER 2 IS OUT
This is actually an amazing fic, I highly recommend :3
oh yeah, everyone’s actually super angry at how well-written it is
and my personal favorite: “I wish you all the best, but I do hope you one day suffer for your sins”
The immensity of the power of a trained Force-sensitive is incredible. We spent that entire episode fearing the dark troopers, to the point that just one, even with a suit of beskar armor and a beskar spear, was enough to put Din to the ground, who is an incredible fighter himself. The amount of looming dread on that bridge, as the dark troopers were beating away at the doors. And then one lone man appears. And fuck-off powerful in the Force though Luke Skywalker may be, and he certain is on that level, he is still one person who mowed through those dark troopers like they were nothing, he didn’t so much as break a sweat or start breathing hard. They were nothing to a trained Jedi like Luke Skywalker. Just the sheer immensity of how powerful a trained Force-sensitive can be, how dangerous they can be, if their abilities aren’t rock solid, if they’re not vigilant with their mental discipline, and that entire bridge was so fucking lucky it was Luke Skywalker, because just imagine what someone of that level of power could do if they weren’t committed to never grabbing power for their own selfish reasons. That’s why Darth Vader was so terrifying, that’s why the Jedi Order was so committed to having oversight over them, because look what one fuckoff powerful Jedi can do, imagine having 10,000 Jedi Knights that may not be on that level, but they could have ruled the galaxy through sheer power. It’s easy to see why people can be afraid of them, it’s easy to imagine what that kind of power could be bent to do. Just the sheer ease that Luke tore through those dark troopers, how do you not fear that he’s going to lose his patience one day and just take the easy route? Because he could. And it’s a testament to how incredible the Jedi are that they were so resolute in doing their best not to take power to benefit themselves.
I rewatched the finale and was just thinking about what masterful story telling it was in how well they establish how absolutely terrifyingly powerful Luke is in the very end. In the Original Trilogy and even the sequels we are shown him fighting primarily other force sensitives,and incredibly powerful ones at that. So there’s no real gage,nothing to juxtapose him against to show the audience just why everyone in the galaxy are in such awe or terror of the Jedi. But we were shown over a course of two episodes how utterly terrifying and powerful those dark troopers were,and just as you said given the entire sequence where Din is wiped across the floor by a single one when we’ve been given two seasons to see what a phenomenal fighter he is. These are skilled warriors going up against them and we are shown they’re utterly terrified,they know they don’t stand a chance.
And then Luke just,absolutely lays waste to them,effectively and clinically and it doesn’t even look particularly difficult for him. In one scene we are shown how absolutely and breathtakingly devastating his power and strength are. He is terrifying,stalking the halls all in black with a sword of light that can cut through an entire battalion of dark troopers considered the elite of the elite. And that masterful story telling,that lead up of perfectly presenting the insane strength of a force sensitive compared to anyone else not of their equal,is to wonderfully show that Grogu must be trained,that he must absolutely learn to control his power. Luke crushed a dark trooper into dust with a clenched fist and his mind,an identical one to who Din was nearly killed by. Din loves Grogu but he sees on that footage what force sensitives are capable of,he’s seen what Grogu is capable of in person. He knows that his baby must be trained as much as Luke does,and that’s why he’s willing to part with him.
One of the most meaningful reasons to use Luke Skywalker–other than it makes sense story-wise, given Luke’s motivations at this point in the timeline–furthers all of this. He and Grogu are similar, they are both fuck off powerful in the Force. This is why the mentions of Anakin in “The Jedi” are so important as well, because Anakin was also just fuck off powerful in the Force and he fell prey to his feelings and attachments (the desire to own people, beyond just loving them, he was afraid to live without them and would do anything to stop it). Luke, having struggled to overcome all that anger and fear in The Empire Strikes Back, Luke struggling to overcome his anger and hurt in the current Star Wars ongoing comic, Luke struggling not to be consumed by his hate and his rage that has him furiously hacking away at Vader when Leia and his friends are threatened. Luke Skywalker knows what it’s like to have the kind of power that would terrify people and Luke Skywalker knows what it’s like to struggle with anger and hate and fear. Luke Skywalker also knows what internal strength being a Jedi gives him and why that discipline and mental clarity are so important. Using Luke Skywalker, someone we have seen struggle with all of this and turn to the Jedi ways time and again, someone who has a similar power level of Grogu, someone who has a similar power level to Anakin Skywalker, shows why Grogu must learn to control himself, because look what a fuck off powerful Force-sensitive can do to the galaxy. Luke Skywalker (and his father before him) demonstrate that so incredibly clearly through just how easily he defeats those dark troopers. We saw Grogu already has some abilities, he may get sleepy very quickly, but look what he did to that mudhorn, look what he did to Cara Dune, look what he did to the Stormtroopers. Already Grogu can lay waste to grown men and women and hugely powerful animals in his fear and fury. And no one in the galaxy is better equipped to handle than that Luke Skywalker, if Grogu actually wants to control himself, no one can help him more right now. That doesn’t mean Grogu won’t come back to Din someday, but right now, of course Grogu wants to learn to control this tremendous power, if for no other reason than look what keeps happening to him because he was born with this ability.
