La Douleur Exquise

Anything that catches my eye....or my heart. As to who I am....thirty(ish) mother of one, that geeks out randomly while selling books for a living.

[bobertlutece]

this whole thing is way too good to be giffed you need to expirience it 

[lizatonix]

There are so many things that are TOP quality about this. The business with the mic rope. The bounding across the stage like an excited puppy or a newsie. The Voice™️ that is so synonymous with John, you know, the voice of a guy who sells ice cream at the soda fountain in the 50’s. The analogy itself.

It’s all so beautiful, such peak humor and content.

OHMYGOD IT’S ATTACKING THE STATUE OF LIBERTY SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING

[loremerchant]

I know just the man for the job.

[whomthegodswoulddestroy]

This is a good joke. This is such a solid, quality joke.

[prehistoricsilverfish]

@explainingthejoke ?

[explainingthejoke]

The initial image is a size comparison between the statue of liberty and a wind turbine. The wind turbine is over ninety feet (about 28 meters) taller.

A commenter pretended to misinterpret the image as one of a wind turbine attacking the statue of liberty. The next commenter answered with an image of Don Quixote, a literary character who once thought a windmill was a monster and announced his plans to fight it. They are joking that if a wind turbine attacked the statue of liberty, Don Quixote would be willing to fight the wind turbine.

Incidentally, that scene led to the English idiom “tilting at windmills,” meaning a person who has not only disproportionate reactions of anger, but disproportionate reactions of anger to nonexistent challenges.

[jenroses]

So all those people who are fighting to preserve coal jobs and the fossil fuel economy are….

actually…

tilting at windmills.

[kingatticus]

I feel like this is one of the very few times where explaining the joke leads to another one that everyone can now understand and laugh at

[kikakat17]

This an amazing post

[kuttithevangu]

Honestly the mere fact that some people refer to Daddy Long Legs as “harvestmen” is creepier than 90% of all deliberately created horror but like the worst part is that the alternative is calling them Daddy Long Legs

[pipistrellus]

#WHAT ARE THEY HARVESTING #I AM HAUNTED AND VEXED

[apinchofsanity]

They are harvesting our sorrows

[sweaterweathercub]

True harvestmen, and not cellar spiders which are the other Daddy Long Legs, are truly omnivorous- known to eat everything from spiders, to fecal matter, to leaves and fungus… But one of the singularly most interesting habits of a particular European species is their almost symbiotic relationship with beehives– particularly man-made beehives. When a bee dies inside the hives, workers will remove the the corpse to just outside the hive just before dark. And the harvestmen? Well, they live up to their name.

[feynites]

So what you’re saying is that they are the grim reaper for bees.

[morrithal]

Steve Rogers leaves dishes in the sink.

[triflesandparsnips]

In 1938, Bucky Barnes comes home from a long day at the docks and looks down at a full sink. He directs a halfhearted glare in the direction of the small lump doodling something at the kitchen table. “Goddamnit, Steve. Dishes.”

In 2016, Steve Rogers rubs his face and drags himself into the kitchen before heading out to search the city — the cooling trail — again. He drops his plate into the sink. There’s already some other things in there. He’ll get to them later, probably. When he has time. It doesn’t really matter.

He turns to go.

The shadow behind the refrigerator shifts slightly, and the Winter Soldier hoarsely whispers, “I swear to God, Steve, there’s a fucking machine for it right there.”

“Ew you’re an adult why are you in fandom”

Kid, if being mocked for fandom shit wasn’t enough to stop me when I was an actual 15 year old, hearing it from a 15 year old when I’m 30 is genuinely hilarious

Harley is a gift from God.

[lpfan9976]

This is why Harley is like my all time favorite!

[forceguardian]

Why did they leave out the best part of this scene?;

The character development of Harley is probably one of the better things DC has done with their characters.

[uncookedtrashmonster]

That last line :((((

The fact that she actually had a plausible reason for the muzzle makes this even better.

Avengers AU - If Tony was Peter’s biological father

Tony is super protective of his son. And Peter, inspired by his dad, becomes Spiderman anyway (his dad and his Uncle Rhodey figure him out in a second though).

[andiamburdenedwithgloriousfeels]

So I found a story I wrote years ago

It’s really awful, but some better highlights include:  “He was, unfortunately, handsome.” 

and

“My apartment was broken into. They took everything but my cat and the garlic salt.” 

[luckyladylily]

These are top quality sentences, I just want you to know.

Have some political Steve Rogers – [ETSY] [inspired by this edit]

[glynnisi]

WOW!  Beautiful, awesome, and ACCURATE.

[ettadunham]

me: this whole concept of ~soulmates~ is so damaging, you can be happy with so many people throughout your life and sometimes the best you can do in a failed relationship is to let it go, that person isn’t THE ONE, no one is, everything in the media about romance is so fucked up on so many levels–

fic: *soulmate au*

me:

[snailsarecute]

Honestly, even my characters think soulmates are bullshit. But I love it anyways. Hahah

[eatmorebikes]

[ms-zilia]

Tbh I’ve been writing fic for years and I still feel like this.

[snailsarecute]
