Advice I gave someone today was: 'do it stupid.'

She wants to learn photography. Do it stupid. Take a million photos. Don't think about why they're not good. Enjoy the process of taking photos.

Pick out tge ones you like the most and figure out why you like them. Is it because the subject is centered? Is it because you caught them doing something cool? Is it because the light made cool shadows?

Do it stupid. If you try to do it smart, youll get stuck. If you think too much you'll never get to doing. Do it stupid.

[quill-ting]

This is honestly how I started quilting! I had fabric, I had a knowledge of backstitch, I had a quilting magazine. I asked "how hard can it be?" and now here we are. Just have fun and give it a go!

man y’all remember when the avengers movie came out and everyone headcanoned that all the avengers would live together in the tower and had all these cute posts about various fun ways they could interact and then the movies literally never had any of them even be friends

[mycroftrh]

I want to state, for the record, that “all the avengers would live together in the tower” wasn’t collective headcanon, it was canon. The very last scene of Avengers (2012), the one they left us on, is Tony redesigning the tower, designing a living area for each Avenger. That was, canonically, what was supposed to happen, in canon, and they just changed their minds and decided to… not. For whatever goldarn reason.

[dingdongyouarewrong]

GHHFDGJHFDS THATS EVEN FUNNIER WHY IS MARVEL LIKE THIS

[copperbadge]

Also it was canon for literal decades in the comics. First it was Avengers Mansion which was Tony’s Manhattan family home and then Avengers Tower when Tony built it. At one point Avengers Mansion couldn’t get their trash carried away because in order to operate in the US they had to be an embassy and NYC trash carriers don’t service embassies.

This is what happens when you try to cash in on interpersonal drama without establishing the relationships first.

The multi-movie format of the MCU was GREAT for establishing characters on their own, but then they threw them together and often just… forgot to make them friends.

The first Avengers was probably the best overall because it was focused on EXACTLY THAT - half the movie was them running into each other and just learning to get along and it was great to see all these personalities bounce off each other and then Age of Ultron gave us ONE REAL BONDING SCENE at the beginning and straight into to the drama.

Happy pride month (Living Single 3x22, "Woman To Woman")

[petruchio]

im literally always saying this

[dungeonxdaddy-deactivated202405]

Someone spam liking/rb from me: Wow. I love them. An absolute godsend. I must protect them at all costs. I should make them fresh lemonade.

Me spam liking/rb from others: I’m a monster. Fuckin creep ass weirdo. Pls forgive me. I’m hideous. Throw rocks at me.

[notbecauseofvictories]

actually, the central romance of Music Man makes more sense if Harold Hill is wildly desirable, floats from town to town selling the Brooklyn Bridge on the strength of his charisma and how much everyone wants to fuck him.

mostly because that means when he shows up in river city and hears that Marian the Librarian seduced a secure and permanent position out of the elderly town miser, he would think: ah, another creature like me.

(not that “sadder and wiser girl” isn’t a phenomenal song on its own, but it takes on a different tenor if it’s game recognizing game rather than HH just refusing to go after nice, church-going girls.)

plus, leaning into that characterization would mean that marian is sadder and wiser, did in fact befriend (or seduce) specifically to have access to books and then later, to keep accessing them; she’s a con man too, just on a lesser scale due to lack of opportunity.

romance between two people who think of sex as largely a way of getting what you want, except that one of them likes to read, and the other can play the piano by ear.

[notbecauseofvictories]

also….who are we kidding when it comes to her ‘‘little brother’‘ Winthrop.

[notbecauseofvictories]

#let’s all be honest: marian and her mother left to “help out a cousin in Chicago” and then came back with a baby     #marian only ever referred to this baby as her brother. mrs. paroo only ever called him her son.     #but if you were the family doctor. or maybe someone who knows a little bit about gestational math and menopausal women.     #you might have some follow up questions.     #anyway stay tuned for other hot takes about this american musical from the 1960s.

I don't understand husbands who dgaf abt their wife's interests. you should be getting hard every time she nerds out, no exceptions

[marxistprincess]

This is a picture of a cis woman, y’all are literally just racist

[marxistprincess]

[torchickentacos]

TERFS DID THIS TO ME ON TUMBLR. I got an anon telling me I passed terribly. like. I'm literally cis and by telling me I do not pass, you are showing that you view womanhood in ways that are not only regressive for trans folk but also regressive and harmful for the very cis women you claim to support and prioritize. They uphold the very beauty and gender performative standards they seek to diminish. Fuck terfs.

[hexthelex-deactivated20230815]

Daily reminder that TERFism has roots in both fascism (eugenics, patriarchal gender performance) and white supremacy (euronormative standards of beauty and biology) and is by no means a viable form of feminism.

[weemietime]

My introduction to TERFs was watching one try to explain why a Holocaust survivor (aka starvation victim) from Ravensbruck had a "male jawline" lol

These are deeply unserious people

[1989tv]

i’ll be honest i still fan girl over my own mutuals

[wadesunderwater]

there are some people on here who, when they followed me back, I got excited about as if they were a celebrity. and when I think about it, it's kinda sweet how we do that here, and so much more special than celebrity crushes. To be starstruck by someone when they're sharing their personal, more private self. You're famous to me for just being you.
