Bat's Feathers, Cat's Feathers.

I read a gratuitous amount of fanfiction and I post links to my favourites here. I'm a sucker for space, spooks, and candles.

Hello! This is a demonstration of a talking picture. Notice, it is a picture of me and I am talking. Note how my lips and the sound issuing from them are synchronized together in perfect unison. Singin’ in the Rain (1952) dir. Gene Kelly & Stanley Donen

Running into this on my dash was like running into an old friend

[pyromanicdaydreamer]

Thats just what theater kids are like

[prokopetz]

What I’ve always loved about this bit is

a. this musical number comes completely out of nowhere, with no greater context than what this video captures; and

b. the language instructor clearly can’t hear the music. He’s not from Musical Theatre Land. From his perspective, a couple of twinkle-toed weirdos just randomly decided to physically abuse him for three solid minutes. This isn’t reading anything that’s not intended into the scene – it’s literally the central gag.

[grenade-maid]

@thegeneralreturns so that’s where that line came from, huh?

[hotvintagepoll]

Cyd Charisseeeeeeeee my bisexual awakening watching Singing in the Rain at age... 4? 5? and just keeping my eyes glued to her because she was so damn pretty.

gene kelly: here's my very normal musical about the 1920s moviemaking and the introduction of sound. my main characters are me, my silly best friend, and young ingenue debbie reynolds. we are all very charming and this is deeply family friendly

gene kelly: also there's a bit in the middle where cyd charisse kicks her legs out in a green dress and we all become bisexual for no reason. no it's not plot relevant. anyway

The 1952 film 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏’ 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒂𝒊𝒏 is not only one of the most beloved films of all time but also had costumes designed by the one and only Walter Plunkett.   Cyd Charisse wore this fabulous green flapper gown as a dancer in 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏’ 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒂𝒊𝒏’𝒔 production number “Broadway Melody.”   This dress and many others from 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏’ 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒂𝒊𝒏 were recycled for the 1954 film 𝑫𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒊𝒏 𝑴𝒚 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 during the “Artists and Models” production number.   Find links to the production numbers at: Bit.ly/PostEd218

I have to reblog this every time because frankly this is absolutely genius prose

[the-punforgiven]

You say something really weird to the headless horseman and in response he just stares at you fully maintaining eye contact as he grabs a second pumpkin out of one of his saddlebags and carves a confused/mildly offended face onto it and then replaces the first pumpkin head that's been staring at you the whole time with it

[mayra-quijotescx]

[waterandsilver]

crazy how the printer is the only piece of tech that acts up like that almost every day of its life. and we just accept it

[waterandsilver]

i don't think i've ever met a printer that actually wanted to be a printer. i think most printers have dreams of being on the stage

[in-the-drowning-deep]

I met a printer early in my IT career that did not want to be a printer. it sat in a school reprographics room, sullenly chewing any job it was fed - if it deigned to notice them at all.

then one day, a miracle occurred. an exhausted physics teacher, instead of punching in 12 for the number of copies she wanted of the 30-page booklet she had made for her A-level physics class, punched in 1200.

and that printer came to life. this print job was its moment, its magnum opus! it WOULD NOT be parted from it, no matter what we did, until we physically unplugged it from the wall.

moral of the story: no printer wants to be a printer, unless you also do not want it to be a printer for a bit.

I’ve finally managed to make a vine compilation short enough that Tumblr will let me post it!

i have been scrolling the “looks” on the gucci website. whoever designed these desires only to cause pain. so many of the patterns on these clothes actually appear to be moving when I look at them. these models are all hollow-eyed Victorian children trying to advertise to predators that they are poisonous.

[headspace-hotel]

These are prey animals whose natural habitat is a couch

[headspace-hotel]

these men are dressed like they’re going to a job interview where they will be slowly impaled on stakes in a pit of fire ants if they get the job. if I saw one of these guys standing in a person’s front yard I would assume he was either trying to lower the property values or that his role in a nearby home invasion was “distraction.”

[headspace-hotel]

These two are in a running competition to see who can shoplift the largest item.

[headspace-hotel]

What do I even say? is it even possible to intentionally create something uglier? are these people under a faerie curse where if someone compliments them they are slowly eaten alive by maggots?

Is this fashion? If this was a style of architecture it would be a car wash. If this was a style of dance it would be the insensate twitching of a corpse that has been hanged. If this was a style of music it would be a harmonica cover of a Pug dying a painful death. If you have sex in these outfits you gain a second virginity. These people are dressed for the job they want, and they want God to kill them.

[jeza-red]

It's like my grandma's closet is exploded. The closet in the attic where she kept clothes she'd never wear again xD

[myfavoritedemons]

Started using the phrase “that’s cilantro to me” to refer to the presence of a story element that completely ruins a piece of media for me, disproportionate to its actual badness.
