Endlessly Curious

Volcanoes are so weird. They seem like normal mountains, but every once in a while they just explode. Imagine if trees did that.

ignoring canon because i simply do not vibe with it

[reclaimingtwilight]

me, gracefully pushing canon out the window : this does NOT SPARK JOY

You have to admire her audacity, if nothing else.

[boogabeing]

Literally my favourite thing about Rogue One is that it makes the opening of New Hope so funny. Like, Vader has followed Leia from a planet he just blew up seconds ago and pursued her across the galaxy and then she’s just like: ‘I’m on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan’

Vader: You’re a rebel. I just had a fight with your entire rebel fleet and followed you here. Straight from the rebels. Of which you are a part

Leia: *dramatic gasp* rebel? Me???  I was just passing through. Diplomatically. Thought it was a five-space-ship pile-up or something going on there… 

[hashtagloveloses]

death star plans? on my alderaanian diplomatic mission? it’s more likely than you think

[captainlordauditor]

[jackhawksmoor]

ok but this is like legitimate Canon Improvement because I’d always wondered why Vader was so wildly furious at the start of the movie like “rahhhhh bring me the passengers I WANT THEM ALIVE!!!!” and now I’m like

ohh yeah okay they literally JUST blew up Vader’s base, stole his sh!t, and took off while giving him the finger from the window

[darksidewalker-deactivated20211]

Leia: speeds away in her ship with the death star plans while giving Vader the middle finger

5 minutes later: rebels?? i have never heard of them before and how DARE YOU

Malvolio’s Revolve

The joy of Shakespeare is that even if you see the same play dozens of times, each production is its own, unique experience.

Having said that… there are certain bits of stage business that often crop up in numerous productions. One of my favorites is Malvolio’s revolve.

Just for fun, here are various examples of Malvolio’s revolve that have been captured on film. (If the gifs don’t work, check out my original post here.)

Alec Guinness in the 1970 ITV Saturday Night Theatre production  does the classic dubious, self-conscious revolve, although Sir Toby and his gang are safely behind a hedge and don’t have to hide.

Nicholas Pennell in this 1986 filmed production at the Stratford Festival of Canada executes a confident and rarely-seen double revolve, forcing his peanut gallery to duck out of sight.

In this filmed version of the Renaissance Theatre Company’s 1988 production, Richard Briers executes a very slow , dubious revolve that is notable for being counter-clockwise. In my experience, most Malvolios revolve in a clockwise direction.

Finally, this Stratford Festival production milks the revolve for all it’s worth, with Tom Rooney’s Malvolio turning at just the right speed to miss Sir Andrew’s desperate dash across the stage.

Some productions choose to have Malvolio turn the letter around, rather than himself. Others either blow past the line without acknowledging its comedic gag potential, or cut it in its entirety. All are valid choices, but honestly… why look a gift gag in the mouth?

Zuko.. Makes more sense when you remember he doesn’t get a lot of sleep. Like canonically he’s just so tired most of the time

[tlirsgender]

When he was instantly nicer to Iroh after getting sick? That’s because he took a fucking nap

[tlirsgender]

I should rewatch atla and take note of how stupid and/or angry he’s acting + how much sleep he got prior I think I’m onto something here I think I can statistically prove that Zuko is like this because he’s tired

[tlirsgender]

This is Zuko

How dare someone not photoshop the scar

[clownsexual69]

the man himself

[ree-duh]

Every adaptation of pride and prejudice ever: let’s cast literally the most beautiful woman you’ll ever see for Elizabeth and then for darcy I guess this man we found in the parking lot of a five guys is fine

[timeloopfemme]

ur twenties are weird. i have the priorities of a kindergartener again. i don’t know what in the hell is going on EVER. i like colors. i like soup. i want to take a nap

[ukulelekatie]

roaring 20s? no, snoring 20s. everyone go take a nap.

[ryan-sometimes]

Sensory overload is such a weird feeling to describe. In a nutshell, sound is attacking me.

[madeofbees]

Today an escalator was squeaking really loudly and I told my sister it was eating my teeth.

[anxietyproblem]

[lynati]

my brain, interrupting my daydream: this is poorly researched and the narrative is not compelling

[norcumi]

Brain: “Do it again, take it from the top.”

Quality. Content.

[valtsv]

the one experience that unites all 90s and early 2000s kids is experiencing at least one work of fiction with a deceptively adorable illustration of cute animals on the cover who live in societies with an established political system, hierarchy of leadership and culture and are driven from their homes by human activity and/or engage in violent conflicts with other animals in similar communities that lead to many of the characters’ brutal deaths, which are described in graphic detail and which left you briefly emotionally traumatized by being confronted with the concept of your own fragile mortality before you were 10

[valtsv]

the 4 horsemen

[valtsv]

it has been brought to my attention that this was an ENTIRE GENRE of children’s fiction for some reason

[amirdrassil]

ok forget everything else i’ve previously said on the subject - THIS is my favourite star wars behind-the-scenes story:

[fialleril]

This is the greatest thing I have ever read.

[qthewetsprocket]

What, your Bible doesn’t have the nativity story with God’s miracle of the sentient trash bin coming to pay its respects to the baby Jesus?

[dragon-in-a-fez]

these wise men have travelled far and brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and the plans for the Death Star

When someone uses an abbreviation and I have to look it up

[podcasthinggg]

When you’re listening to a podcast and you have to rewind like 20 seconds back cause you missed one word of an insignificant sentence but it still bothers you
