Lil'Ol'Me

To be perfectly honest... I'm not overly skilled at anything. But I do my best and I've been told that that's what matters. Here's goes nothing...

Asking for a friend

Is there anyway to find out what you did in this life or a past one so that you can atone for it and Karma can stop fucking you up the ass with a 10 foot pole???

the switch from ‘a girl worth fighting for’ to coming upon the decimated village in mulan is THE MOST kick-in-the-teeth mood change IN ALL OF CINEMA

[furikomaru-deactivated20190920]

That scene shift did more for our generation’s understanding of the horror of war in ten seconds than Game of Thrones did in eight seasons, and it did it without showing us a single dead body.

OKAY BUT HOLD ON THOUGH.

I’ve spent the past… five? Let’s say five - the past five years analyzing the structure of Disney Musicals as part of the process to write my own/a parody of them, and the thing is that all the modern ones have roughly the same number of songs - except Mulan.

Mulan has about half, because after AGWFF ends with that unresolved final phrase, there are no more songs until the end credits, which isn’t even sung in-universe.

Mulan wasn’t even the REALM of fucking around - when they arrive at that village, when the true horrors of war are brought into the story, not only does it interrupt THAT song, it breaks the entire fucking mold - the movie’s damn genre changes; it is no longer a musical.

And the Huns represent this from the start - Jafar and Hades are notable for not having proper villain songs, but Jafar does get his Prince Ali refrain and Hades and his plan get sung ABOUT by the muses. No scene with the Huns has any singing, they are mentioned once in song (the second line of Man, natch), and they of all Disney Villains are probably the most serious - no jokes, no witty asides, no sassy delivery of dry humor. The Huns are an invading army who plan to straight up kill a fuckton of people, including children, and AGWFF’s sudden end is the moment when our happy go lucky MUSICAL protagonists finally come in contact with them and their work directly - and it breaks them. Because shit like the Huns cannot exist in happy go lucky musical world. They just exist in our world. The real world. And you can’t sing your problems away here.

The end of A Girl Worth Fighting For is a brilliant use of metanarrative sensibilities to convey a message. It is utterly perfect.

Daaaamn, Tony. That’s fucking deep, my guy

I didn’t spend two years and thousands of dollars on a Master’s Degree in literature to NOT over analyze every text I engage with.

Pro Tip

If someone you love is depressed, down in themselves, and generally feeling like a waste of space/skin/the-little-bit-of-semi-clean-air-we-have-left-on-the-planet and they choose to come to you because they are simply mentally not in a good place and aren't quite sure why... The appropriate responses do NOT include the following:

- I dont have time for this right now

-Well OBVIOUSLY something is wrong, you can't be upset for no reason

- Look, I get it but I have my own shit going on, I don't need your shit too

Crossing my fingers I'm not the only one who is just mentally done with everything today and it's barely even supper time

Hey @mistresskabooms do you think something like this would work for us?

For my peeps with executive dysfunction!  

You can even make it double sided! 

Fabulous for breaking large/intimidating goals into bite-sized-bits

you don’t understand how hard it is to take a selfie when you’re ugly

[akakatherinek]

Posting this here because I feel like this is where the it will be most appreciated. I did a thing today because I'm sick of ignorance

[mcavoy]

this is literally the only mood I ever have

[funkyfartmaster]

the best pranks are the super harmless ones

like why would you pull someones pants down in public or like put them in danger or humiliate them when you can just baffle them by leaving tiny plastic camels all over their house or taping bill cosby’s face over every single face in  every picture in their house?

MY NEW MOTTO

[latter-ace-saint]

The best prank I ever pulled was to a college roommate. April 1st was approaching, and I told my roommate that I was going to prank him. He responded that he had classes that morning and afternoon and a gaming group that night and that we wouldn’t even see each other that day. I responded that his room wasn’t going anywhere. He said he would just lock his room and there was nothing I could do about it.

What he didn’t know is that I had a key to his room.

So, on the evening of April 1, I unlocked his door, left it barely ajar, and did absolutely nothing else.

When my roommate got back that night, I heard him go to his door, say “oh no” in a horrified way, and carefully enter his room.

He then spent a good hour searching his room (fruitlessly, obvs) for pranks.

I’ll never do better than that.

The graduating class before mine (I went to a fairly small school, so this was a graduating class of about 70 people) all brought marbles with them to graduation. When the superintendent handed them their diplomas and shook their hands, each graduate handed him a marble in turn. He had to start handing them over to the other people on the stage when his pockets filled up. By the end of the ceremony, there were about five men in suits with the pockets full of marbles. It was lowkey hilarious, and I’m not usually a fan of pranks.

In college I printed out a bunch of Nicholas Cage faces and hid them around the dorm. One of my roommates had this massive jar of pickles and I taped one under the lid. I was so thrilled to be there for the reveal, she just looked so defeated like “I don’t know what I was expecting but somehow it wasn’t this.”

When you put a painting away for a while because there's no rush on it (it's just for Xander's room) and it's doing nothing but pissing....

And it gets put away for long enough that you're mind tricks you into thinking it went into hiding for an entirely different reason. So then you pull it out and remember and get pissed off with it all over again

“I’m so happy to be part of his life and watch him grow and learn” *sees him once a month and sits on phone the entire time*

[akakatherinek]

*hasn't seen him since June*

"Aww I miss my baby so much he's so big!"

Heyo!

Ok. So. I’m working on getting a second tumblr page going for my photography to use it as a blog for a (possible in the future) business. I know a name and what i want for a logo, i just need to work on making that into a digital file to use for watermark/branding purposes. So! Long story short, keep an eye out for that I guess?

[akakatherinek]

Ha! So that never happened.... I should get on that....

This hell app somehow manages to use five times the data of the full location-based MMO I’ve been playing almost constantly, and it still doesn’t load images 90% of the time
