Happy Pride Month

Previous anon should quit his ass and take his movie collection.

Vanilla protein shake chugged (it tastes like vanilla bean ice cream, which is excellent but they were out of my precious strawberry so I am suffering). Also my butt hurts from working out on Saturday.

Which movie has the hottest mustache? I need a hot mustache guy for the weekend.

a few great mustache movies off the top of my head include the prisoner of zenda, dr. zhivago, the thin man, and the batman movie from 1966, because cesar romero famously was so attached to his mustache he refused to shave it to play the Joker in the Batman series, which means that when you're watching his joker there is a mustache there somewhere under the paint, and its absence makes its presence all the more horrifying.

Not "The Character did nothing wrong" or "The Character is irredeemably awful" but a secret third thing: The Character may display moments of deep love & compassion, may even have a strong sense of ethics, and may also be capable of brutal cruelty that is irreconcilable with those traits. The constant tension between the different sides of The Character's nature is exactly what makes them compelling, and attempting to reduce them down to simply "a terrible person" or "innocent & misunderstood" is missing the point of the questions a media with nuanced characters is asking you to consider

Isn't it fucking insane that so many people think that IQs are real. Like people genuinely believe you are born with one set level of intelligence that can be measured on a scale from 1 to ~200. As if intelligence wasn't extremely nuanced and completely subjective. And the fact that the majority of scientists that have advocated for IQ tests in the past have been eugenicists doesn't seem to concern anyone either

God it's hard to phrase this question in a non-biasing way. Also I promise I've encountered all of these phrases irl

if something else please tell me what!

ok now that you've voted i call it bitsa (short for bitsa this and bitsa that) because that's what my mum calls it and if you call it picky bits i assume you shop at m&s and use phrases like holibobs and hubby

I stumbled upon this cartoon of Hamlet made for kids and THIS SCENE MADE ME SCREAMMM

[romanceyourdemons]

shakespeare was so funny for that scene where the antagonist tells the protagonist “let the record show that i AM into women THAT BEING SAID holy shit, thou mars, seeing you here is like an even better version of my wedding night. like WAY better. i’ve been dreaming about you every night for years, and in my dreams we take off each other’s armor and beat each other to a pulp and i wake up all hot and sticky 👍”

[signaturecosmique]

mutuals do you have a favorite number yes or no

my favorite number as long as I can remember has been 37. in third grade I did a project about it

[signaturecosmique]

the reason for this is that I have synesthesia and the number 37 looks like watermelon colors to me (pinkish red and bright green) but I didn’t learn what synesthesia was until middle school so everyone was like “ok sure jan” when I tried to explain this to them

[segamascott]

guys i have an idea for a movie it's about a musician ☺️ and it's a biopic 🤩 and it tells their story 🧐 because even though they were famous 🥳 they also had some struggles 😔 but also some good moments too 😊 don't you want to come relive their wikipedia page 🤗

Hellen, the intensity and success with which you commit to The Aesthetic (TM) is honestly such an inspiration for me. I'm both in awe and inspired.
