I’m on the photographer’s side here.

The original Reddit post

Tl;dr version: The groom asked a friend, the (not professional) photographer, to do his wedding for $250. The photographer then spent 8 hours without food or drink in 110º heat. After not being served anything, they asked to groom to take a break to get some damn food, and the groom said they were fired if they left. So, they deleted the photos and left.

Team photographer all the way.

so i just finished watching the extended editions of the trilogy which is nearly 13 hrs long and this meme is correct somehow. this is the only line legolas speaks to frodo in the entire series. the only other debatable line is a scene in fellowship where legolas is speaking to gimli but frodo just happens to be near them and he’s cut to for a reaction shot. i wouldn’t really count it though since it wasnt directed at him.

frumpycunt

someone already posted this but the kicker is at the end of return of the king where frodo sees the fellowship again and calls out to everyone by name except for legolas lmaooo

I’m always like “the Jedi dumb as fuck like dooku literally told them who Sidious was.” Then I remember what Sidious looks like

I can’t even blame the Jedi because a bitch wouldn’t believe you if you told me Sheev Palpatine was Darth Sidious—dark lord of the sith—unless I already knew in the behind the scenes bc I’m apart the audience

Y’all on the Jedi’s top 24/7, blaming them for this shit when Sidious intentionally looks like he can’t lift 30 pounds. The Jedi don’t know how it ends like we did.

You see Sheev Palpatine without the context, you like “this man a lil politician who literally can’t do shi to anyone.” Not knowing he’s the slimiest, baddest bitch in the whole galaxy.

Also, in all fairness to the Jedi, Dooku never ACTUALLY said who it was, or that it was the head of the Government - he just said that they were under the influence of a Sith Lord - that could mean any number of things (lobbyist, judge, etc.).

And that was the point, the Sith hid in plain sight, who would've guessed grandpa Palpatine was the ultimate evil, Darth Sidious???

I bet if the prequels came out before the OT when Palps tells Anakin he's the Sith Lord it would've surprised most of the audience. But, because we have the benefit of knowing what the characters don't we can sit back and point fingers at them being so "stupid".

The Jedi had no reason to suspect Palpatine - they were "deceived by a lie".

White people at it again. The Flayed Lord’s name is Xipe Totec, he’s one of the main dieties in Aztec culture. He is primarily associated with fertility and agriculture, and is strongly connected to renewal and rebirth (the flayed aspect is supposed to symbolize how corn, a major crop, sheds it’s outer layers). Aside from that, we know *very* little about mesoamerican cultures. What we do know mainly comes from retellings and accounts from Spanish conquerors, who of course had a biased perspective. Finding a new temple is a huge deal, because when the Spanish were systematically wiping out our culture, they made a point to build churches over preexisting temples and shrines. A lot of the churches are still there, but the Mexican government considers them historical buildings, and as such no one is allowed to dig under the churches or excavate the area. There are countless temples we haven’t seen because they’re under these churches. Finding a temple we can actually study is such a big deal!

It really is a big deal! also, mesoamerican art history/anthropological research are actually very robust and rapidly growing fields of study. A big problem for what white people call “Aztec” research before the 90s was that, yes, a huge number of readable personal accounts were from the Spanish. The others were written in Maya Nahuatl which used two forms of glyphs, the iconographic type, and the logogram type.

That was illegible up until a boy raised on Maya archaeological sites, David Stuart, was awarded a MacArthur genius grant (the youngest ever at 18) to study the glyphs. he was able to read them as well as his first language, solved several codes, and then other academics were able to easily translate codices and ruins. that was over 30 years ago, so now we are working with about 50 fully translated Nahua codices and hundreds of fragmented ones. there are many beautiful ruins and ancient sites like these all over South America, but the Spanish did make sure to build on top of many very important ones. restoring pyramids and temples that were plundered and destroyed by conquistadors and centries of war before them is crucial to ancient Mexicatl research, but the colonial churches above so many of these sites are also unfortunately historically important sites themselves. Mexico city is also an ancient city; it would be really difficult to excavate where families have built their homes for over 20 generations.

If you need a quarantine binge one of my favorite professors at my alma mater has uploaded so many free fun lectures on Maya, Peruvian, Nahua art and visual culture here :-)
