y’all are about to see me at my worst (i’m rewatching hannibal)

[thelaurenshippen]

happy 10 years to "I've never known myself as well as I know myself when I'm with him" and "there are means of influence other than violence but violence is what you understand" and "with all my knowledge and intuition I could never entirely predict you" and "I deliberated as the phone rang, I decided when I heard his voice" and "killing must feel good to God, too. he does it all the time and are we not created in his image" and "in the walls of our hearts and brains, danger waits. there are holes in the floor of the mind" and "I let you know me. see me." and "if I saw you everyday forever, will, I would remember this time" and

"I don't find you that interesting" "you will"

Hannibal premiered 10 years ago on April 4, 2013

Modern adaptations of the Addams Family don’t seem to get the family dynamic that we associate with the Addams right anymore.  Made a TikTok recently about some of the issues I had with Wednesday (overall an okay show, doesn’t really do anything new for the genre, but entertaining enough). My #1 criticism is that it, much like the recent animated films, it puts Wendesday in conflict with Morticia. When I pointed this out, I was met with a chorus of “of course, she’s a teenage girl it’s natural” and “every family has conflict”. That is, in fact, the point.

The Addams Family is the antithesis of the “normal” sitcom family. Parents that love and support their children no matter what. Children that, in turn, respect their parents because their parents respect them. Their weirdness doesn’t come from the fact that they’re goth so much as the fact that they’re functional when dysfunction is seen as the norm. Other pushback I’ve seen is that it’s based on the comics, not previous adaptations, so we can’t judge it by those. Cool, but Jenna’s Wednesday is based on Christina Ricci’s. Catherine Zeta Jones’ Morticia pulls from Anjelica Huston’s and Charlize Theron’s voice work. Fred Armisen’s Fester carries over elements of Jackie Coogan’s. (Which is also why everyone is comparing Luis Guzman’s Gomez, which feels like the most original take on the character, to previous performances). Whether we like it or not, it builds upon every previous adaptation, and by significantly including the other family members, the show opens itself up to comparison. In a show where they could’ve gotten away with anything, subverted any trope in any way they’d like, they chose to play by the book. That’s what’s disappointing about it. Anyway, Jenna Ortega killed it, though.

Alicent going from a little necklace to a full catholic mom outfit with the huge seven pointed star for next episode is absolutely taking me out. You can accuse her of trying to shank a child at a funeral but you can never accuse her of not committing to the bit

IF I HEAR ANY MEN TALK ABOUT SHIT ABOUT HOUSE OF THE DRAGON TONIGHT IT'S ON SIGHT.

[alwaysher]

not to be a hater (but yeah to be a hater) shocker that the show with the black lesbian lead is cancelled and... The Other One gets renewed for two seasons

Hamlet. Faustus. Frankenstein. Raskolnikov. Love how the "university turns people into depressed, feral, ahead of their times overthinkers"-thing is perpetual. College just does that to you. For centuries now.

listen if you think someone is cool and you dig their energy you just have to tell them, because that’s the kind of stuff you remember a thousand times longer than somebody complimenting your hair or whatever. tonight I told a girl from my theory class that I like her analytical approach and she bounced back at me saying she digs my feminine energy and how she gets the vibe that, to my core, I exist to uplift women and I damn near cried. tell people what resonates about them. be real. help each other feel seen.

anakin didn’t do anything wrong that’s just what being 23 is like

Let me get this straight because I’ve only seen memes and am piecing this together as i go, but i think i figured out what’s happening.

Tumblr is advertising the tumblr app, on the tumblr app, using a photo of a guy in a Pikachu cosplay, because that’s what they think it will take to successfully sell this app, to people whom already use it?

But now the ball shaving ad is gone? Or is that one still in the mix?

[makoredeyes]

[makoredeyes]

It’s real and your timing was uncanny

[maximumsunshine]

Ok. Why is tumblr advertising tumblr on tumblr though? What happens when you click the ad?

[maximumsunshine]

*sigh*

I suppose shit like this is why tumblr gave us the option to turn ads back on. Hold on. I’ll be back after i experiment.

[maximumsunshine]

I’m getting plenty of ads. Real actual ads. Mattress firm. Burger King. Walmart. Actual ads. No weird Pikachu man. What is even going on here? Is he just a very infrequent ad? Is he a tumblr ploy by @staff to get those of us whom pay to be ads free to turn on ads so we can see him? Is he am actual facts ad for ads free tumblr and already being ads free means you don’t get the ads free tumblr ad? I have more questions, not fewer!

[makoredeyes]

I CLICKED THE LINK And

I’m

[desasterdan]

The weirdest part is, when you click on the ad from someone who reblogged it, it sends you to a blog with just the word ‘help’ on it

[maximumsunshine]

What?!? No. What??!

[jordisstigander]

THERE’S LORE????

[jordisstigander]

Okay, so I just spent five minutes scrolling furiously until I found the stupid Pikachu man ad so I could click on it. I was dreading the possibility that this was fake.

ALT

IT ISN’T

I had already clicked the ad. I decided to click the links.

The first link takes you to the trending page.

The second takes you to the underwater girlfriend page on best of reblogs.

The third is a trash panda on dank memes.

The fourth is the horse plinko tag.

I…can’t believe that this was here the whole time. How hard do you think is was for @staff to watch us complain and not say anything?

[maximumsunshine]

I pay tumblr 5$ a month and thus never ever have to see ads whether I’m on browser or app, unless i go in and turn them back on. So my means of learning about Pikachu man was from memes suddenly showing up on my dash one day. So I’ve sort of just been piecing this together as I go. I just think it’s so funny though that most of tumblr saw the ad and y'all are so well trained to never ever ever click on ads, that no one had apparently thought to click the ad to figure out what the heck Pikachu man was trying to sell. Which I’m so proud of y'all! But we sincerely almost let Pikachu man come and go without this bizarrely delightful discovery.
