My thoughts for the next 7 minutes:

Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.

[queenrinacat]

English has a lot more words created for very specific phenomena! It’s not just rick-rolling. Language is always evolving and it’s super interesting! Here’s a list of hyper-specific/untranslatable words in English.

[edweeirdo]

Some of these are fucking wild.

IVE BEEN FUCKING RICK ROLLED

HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO BLIND

I have officially made the very adult-like decision to just stay awake because I'll fall asleep right before I have to wake up and be more tired then if I had just stayed awake.

honestly tho that scene in the incredibles where mr. incredible sees the names of all the old super heroes that used to be his friends / that he knew from Back in the Day and how every one of them has been killed by syndrome is such a chilling scene for so many reasons 

like for one, everyone he knew is dead at this point and has been killed on the same island he’s at now and two, its heartbreaking bc that means that almost every hero wanted to try out being a hero again despite the laws against it and wanted to try and help someone out and relive their glory days, only to be straight up murdered like fuck that scene is just so fuckin intense

I think the core of that scene for me is, when you’re insane like me and you go through it frame by frame, you can work out that Gazerbeam defeated the omnidroid twice - the only super we have enough information to confirm did so. I always wondered about his body in the cave, how and why he got the password… But it makes sense. This thing goes haywire, gets an upgrade, and goes haywire again? He must have been hella suspicious! So he does what any good superhero would do - tries to get to the bottom of what’s really happening on Nomanisan Island. During the process he’s clearly caught and wounded but has just enough time to get himself somewhere he can leave a final message, just praying that the next super to come along will find it and break the cycle. Gazerbeam is my hero.

Incredibles 2 has a lot to live up to

[thatgirlwithanopinion-deactivat]

All of this and…

I’m just realizing that the name is No Man Is An Island???? As in, everyone needs someone to depend on and connect with, no one is ever completely alone or should act all on their own.

[swan2swan]

Also Gazerbeam probably has X-ray vision–so he not only survived long enough to defeat the Omnidroid, he had the ability to see Syndrome entering the password.

[animagix101]

Holy guacamole! I should pay more attention, I don’t think I got any of that stuff!

[frognonbinary-deactivated202412]

does anyone think about the fact that now mr. incredibles has to live w/ the fact that all his friends getting killed by syndrome could have been avoided if he had just been nicer to syndrome from the beginning

[breefolk-hates-staff]

^I was thinking that from the beginning reading this and was shocked it went through so many comments before anyone pointed that out.

Syndrome waited until his machine was almost ready to go before asking Bob to come to Nomanisan. He also was surprised to find out that he was married to “Elastigirl”, which means he likely built his list and went through everyone else before finally deciding it was time to kill Bob.

[gay-jesus-probably]

Also, Syndrome literally didn’t find Bob until the start of the movie. He found Frozone and was stalking him. If Lucius hadn’t hung out with Bob, then Frozone was going to be the next one lured. There’s literally a scene of Mirage realizing that the guy in the car with her target is Mr. Incredible. He wasn’t going through the list, he was stalking and finding every former Super he could, luring them to the island, and then killing them, for the sake of improving his robot. Finding Bob was just a happy accident, and Syndromes obsession with him meant that upon finding a bot that could beat Bob, he figured he’d hit perfection and was ready.

and like, let’s be real here in the intro Buddy was crossing the line the second he showed up, Mr. Incredible mentioned he’d been very nice to Buddy, via signing a ridiculous amount of autographs and doing pictures and stuff, and that he was not going to risk a childs life as a sidekick (albeit in less words). Buddy literally showed up by breaking into his car, and then stalked him all evening until he was arrested. That’s disturbingly obsessive behavior, there’s no amount of niceness that would stop Syndrome, it was an impossible situation. No amount of nice was going to appease Syndrome, the second he faced any sort of rejection from Mr. Incredible he was going to lose it and go supervillain. After his arrest he should have gotten put into therapy, but yknow, set in like. the 50′s. so it makes sense he fell through the cracks when the cracks were a goddamn canyon. Don’t victim blame Mr. Incredible.

[kiokushitakaa]

reblogging for the last comment because blaming mr incredible for the deaths of his comrades is honestly such a weird take and i dislike how it’s framed as “fact” when it’s not. it’s syndrome’s fault and syndrome’s fault alone. full stop. he murdered them because he was selfish, entitled, and obsessed with mr incredible to a fanatical degree.

[link-the-feral-anon]

You know what’s really great

In the beginning when Mr. Incredible says, “Go home, Buddy. I work alone.” He’s holding up Bomb Voyage

In Syndrome’s flashback, he’s looking down on him, no bad guy in sight

Do with that info what you will

[dylandisconnected-blog]

I would like to touch back on the comment about it being Mr. Incrediables fault all the other supers are dead, and the comment following making the point that Buddy destined himself to the choices he made that caused the supers to meet their deaths at his hands. 

As much as this was just a post about the movie I would just like to point out that we as people tend to do this very thing to ourselves.

When bad things happen we blame ourselves. Like when a friend or family member commits suicide. We take on the what if’s. 

Just like 

“if he had just been nicer to syndrome from the beginning”. 

“If only I had checked on them every day maybe they would still be alive.” 

When in reality we are only in control of ourselves and our actions.

We can not change the course of someone else's life or decisions. We can be a kind and loving person. And help where we can. But it doesn't mean we can save people from their own minds.

So make it your goal to be the best person you can be because you never know how you might affect those around you. But also keeping in mind that if or when bad things happen there is usually nothing you could have done differently because the actions of the world and others are not in your control.

Memory Lane

Ever find yourself strolling down memory lane at 1am by accident? But not the happy fun times memory lane but the shit all the bad feels memory lane?

I always find all kinds of new ways to end up there.

I never do it on purpose but it just happens?

I don’t know where this came from but I NEEDED it

tO sLeEp Or nOt tO sLeEp

That is the question.

It's 3:30 Am and I have to be awake at 6 Am... Do I go to sleep while I still have time? Or screw it all together...

This seems to be a dilemma every night.

Morning.

Whatever time of the day it is!

Shh, I’m tired!

I love the Dr Seuss quote

“A person's a person, no matter how small.”

But if I may?

A person’s a person no matter how small

A person’s a person no matter how tall

A person’s a person no matter how gay

A person’s a person no matter their weight

A person’s a person no matter how straight

A person’s a person no matter their disability

A person’s a person no matter their nobility

A person’s a person no matter their looks

           A person’s a person.

Under the skin, we all look exactly the same. 

Just a pile of bones.

One day we will all die and be buried in the same earth.

Decaying all the same.

We are ALL humans 

And we should all have a mutual love, understanding, and support for each other

Period.

End of story.

I Know

history isn’t everybody's cup of tea... 

But in an attempt to not repeat history, you have to know what happened in order to keep it from happening again. 

You don't have to sit down and ready a highschool textbook to learn about history.

I mean the internet does exist for fucks sake. Make use of it! Have fun and educate yourselves even just a little!

Maybe we can be the generation that stops the vicious cycle of hate, war, and inequality.

We don't live in a perfect world and we never will. But whos to say we can’t get a little closer?

This has been your daily history PSA

Watching the Pirates movies and I heard this song for the first time in years.

It reminded me that I used to listen to it for hours on loop at night when I’d had a bad day or needed to find some peace in the midst of my anxiety. 

So if anyone else ever needs something to listen to when you just don't know how you feel or what to do.

This is my recommendation for what it’s worth.
