I want Terry Crews and Vin Diesel to do a buddy cop movie where they are both secret nerds but they don’t want the other to know. Like Vin Diesel plays D & D on weekends and Terry likes to create epic crossover fan art. Somehow they have to work undercover at Comic Con and for what ever reason I need Daniel Radcliffe to be the villain. 

[rizaoftheowls]

I’d like to add: not a character played by Dan Radcliffe. Dan Radcliffe, appearing as himself.

[dragontatoes]

no, no wait… I want Elijah Wood to play Daniel Radcliffe.

[deathchic]

Elijah Wood plays Daniel Radcliffe and his evil sidekick is Elijah Wood played by Daniel Radcliffe

So do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide. All you have to decide… Is what to do with the time that is given to you.

what’s ur sign n ur opinion on beer

[femboy-fever]

“You can criticize something you love!”

Yeah, and you can also get tired of criticizing something you love. You can get completely fed up with it and decide, “You know what? Flaws aside, I love this thing, and I don’t have to waste hours of my life admitting its flaws to strangers on the Internet in order to somehow justify my love of it.” You can get sick of watching others gleefully tear it apart, for no reason other than that it’s popular and they hate that you love it. You can get sick of watching others tearing it apart with good intentions, too.

In the end, it’s just a cartoon, or a book, or a movie. It’s not that serious, and you can enjoy it without hyper-focusing on its flaws. You don’t need to justify your love of something to someone else, least of all a person you don’t even know.

A RAGE KITTEH

[baking-accident]

imagine being a vain fantasy kingdom elf and realizing all your dwarf and hobbit friends are constantly looking at you from the “accidentally opened your phone camera” angle

[asforetold]

Favourite narrative tropes:

“That was ONE time!”

“Due to an administrative error”, or any major plot point which is caused almost entirely by bureaucratic fuckups

“Contrary to popular belief” appended to something that’s either really obvious or completely subjective

A character makes an assertion, then cut to the narrator contradicting it (‘“Everything’s fine!” Everything was not fine.’)

First-person narrators who call a specific character by a series of increasingly convoluted nicknames

Unusual narrative euphemisms. I still hold that describing around a curse word is almost always funnier than just using the word.

Establishing character moments which subvert your expectations right from the get-go. The best example is in the Brooklyn Nine Nine pilot, where Jake’s fooling around at the crime scene before revealing that he’s already solved the case.

Montages. Just montages of any kind, for any reason, anytime. I actually think they work better in text form because you can do so many creative things with them.

Side characters with a level of fourth-wall awareness / quasi-supernatural ability which is never quite certain, like the janitor in Scrubs.

Double meanings in narration that take a while to make themselves clear.

Really, really specific similes.

self care is [incredibly unhealthy behaviour] and [implausible feat]

Self care is blaming yourself for your parents death and taking on multiple opponents in unarmed combat whilst dressed as a bat.

The Last of Us (2013) | Stranger Things 2 (2017) The story of Ellie & Joel vs El & Jim

[inkskinned]

ive been on tumblr a long time and i remember when everyone said “oh don’t romanticize mental illness” and it was agreed that doing that was gross and a good way to kill people indirectly

but somehow we’ve come full circle and there are people who legit defend their right to be anti-recovery there are people who don’t want to get better and spread the idea that you can’t get better as if it’s gospel and it’s fucking frightening to me bc nobody seems to want to say “hey? this is toxic and untrue and is your disease speaking, and it’s not something you should accept.”

and i feel like every recovery post gets about 500 of these people saying “this isn’t something that will work” “cool karen i’m depressed” “maybe it worked for you but it won’t work for other people” and that’s… just… im so sorry if you’re 15. i’m sorry if you’re in high school and watching grown adults tell you it doesn’t get better. that nobody says that with time and help and patience the world stops being so heavy, that accepting your illness as a fact is one thing but accepting it as the only way to be is just wrong, that you can learn to live with it and still find some degree of “happy”…. if i had seen this shit back when i was … oh god starting at 12 when i was already self-harming …. i think i’d have actually honest-to-god killed myself. not a joke, not a funny tumblr punchline, i would have actually just killed myself. 

i’m saying this right here and right now to the adults on this site. if you for any reason shoot down positivity that’s causing no harm - you might have indirectly worsened someone else’s condition, and you should try and do better in the future. if you find it necessary to tell people “recovery is a lie”, you need to do better. i know everyone has different circumstances, but i also know that mental illness behaves in such a way that everyone thinks they can’t recover.  if you feel like you should be spreading the Word Of Relapse, you are causing toxic language to be normalized and you need to do better. 

im team “cool karen ive got depression and that means i’m going to try this because i’ve got to try something” i’m team “romanticize recovery” i’m team “it isn’t working now but it might in the future and it’s worth staying to find out” im team “hey this didn’t work for me but it might help somebody else out”

fuck guys it shouldn’t be an unpopular opinion to say “i don’t want any of you to die”.

[bimbogollum]

When I die I want to be buried with grave goods that make future archaeologists think I was of much higher status than I actually was so that my grave will be referred to as a princely burial and I’ll be remembered by some cool name like “The Colchester Barrow Princess” (I’ve decided that I will be buried in a highly visible barrow, possibly with a ship) and the National Trust will erect a small museum about me filled with entirely incorrect but cool sounding archaeological assumptions

[the-busy-ghost]

Be buried literally holding a sword and axe and then sit back and watch the endless ‘powerful warrior queen v. just usual valuable grave goods indicating a high status individual’ debate from the afterlife.

[amuseoffyre]

I want a spring-loaded casket and non-degrading glitter. I will be remembered as “that *£^$% thing that killed Professor Hannover”

[cantatrice1]

@aphilologicalbatman any recommendations?

[aphilologicalbatman-deactivated]

the glitter is a TOTAL POWER MOVE. Professor Hannover’s grad students are still washing that shit out of their pores in 2573.

okay, important stuff to think about: make sure your relatives bury you with your most expensive electronics because archaeologists cannot cope with that shit. throw in whatever you own that’s from AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE as well as AS LONG AGO AS POSSIBLE. if you can stick some C19 coins that your grandfather bought in there, you’re golden. if you can find something genuinely pre-1600 (if you’re idk Austrian and you’re allowed to keep Roman tombstones), get buried with it STAT.

remember that whatever you stick in there has to be able to survive in your climate. that is to say, if you get buried in the desert, you have free reign, but if you’re being buried in, like, England, you need to be more careful on your perishables. remember: clothes will rot, but plastic is ~*~forever~*~

make sure your grave marker has 1) your name, 2) something ambiguous about your family and/or ethnicity, 3) a symbol or two, and 4) some rando poetry on it. this will successfully attract both epigraphers and literary scholars, which will make you SUPER POPULAR.

also I suggest getting your tweets immortalized in fake cuneiform and then getting buried with them because that’s an amazing gag.

Cats, the ultimate weapon in public health

With rat problems up 67%, Chicago is trying an old fashioned, low tech, solution to solve the problem -- $600 cats.

[jumpingjacktrash]

oh my god

[mactiir]

this is why cats domesticated themselves in the first place. finally. some cats doing what they wanted all along. so wholesome

[crookedhillary-delete-deactivat]

LIKE if you would have a beer with Gozer.

REBLOG if you would hunt rats with him.

IGNORE and your heart will be destroyed.

CHOOSE THE FORM OF THE DESTRUCTOR

[lady-feral]

Reblogged, obviously.

[rocketmermaid]

I’m one of the two brewers at Empirical Brewery, and I love these little bastards! 

Sadly, Gozer passed away last year due to feline leukemia. However, the other three - Venkman, Egon and Raymond - are all still around and active!

Venkman is the “leader” of the group, and by far the most curious - he explores and investigates everyone and everything that comes through the brewery. He also has a great sense of when somebody’s taking a picture of him and poses accordingly. He’s not interested in having humans pet him and will run away from you.

Raymond, however, seems to have been feral for all of thirty seconds before Treehouse picked him up: He will meow for attention, and either rub up against your hand to demand pets, or flop down on the ground so you can scratch his belly. He and Venkman are close pals.

Egon is the most skittish of the bunch, and barely likes you to even look at him. He’ll investigate new things, but spends most of his time hiding and sleeping. He has a special hiding spot on top of a pipe, and he somehow has the uncanny ability to sleep with all four paws dangling completely off of it without ever falling of.

This is how they spend most of their day. If you ever find a stray cat hair on one of your six-packs, it’s probably Raymond’s. The guy sheds like mad.

Venkman’s curiosity occasionally gets the better of him. This is what happened when a new pump came into the brewery. He managed to escape handily enough, though.

Like I said, Venkman likes to pose.

Buddies. <3

Come by Empirical Brewery sometime, and maybe you’ll get to see them!

The Amazons’ New Clothes

Zack Snyder caused an Amazonian uproar on social media when he started sharing pictures of Amazons from Justice League in leather bikinis.

This abrupt change of direction is a shock and these outfits look like generic barbarian women from a game of Dungeons and Dragons. They completely lack the unique flavor of the Greco-Roman-inspired armor ensembles that Lindy Hemming put so much thought and historical research into creating for Wonder Woman. The Wonder Woman designs received acclaim from fans and costume fanatics alike. They were clearly inspired by the Amazon’s origins in the Mediterranean and were feminine but very functional. Why mess with perfection?

Oh, right. The all-male team of directors and executive directors wanted women to fight in bikinis.

Wonder Woman began filming in 2015, the year before Justice League started filming in 2016. The Amazons’  design was finalized and most of the costumes completed while Justice League was still in pre-production. That means that there were discussions about what the Amazons should wear into battle in Justice League and the epic designs from Wonder Woman were rejected in favor of leather bikinis. Let that sink in. They rejected already finished costumes to redesign and remake the armor so that more skin would be showing.

[flange5]

“To be absolutely clear, my issue is not with the lack of modesty. The Amazons in Wonder Woman wore sports-bra-like outfits when they were not fighting and I think that is very realistic for a society that lives in a Mediterranean climate. My problem is a millennia-old military culture wearing bikinis into battle because they are women. My problem is a wise civilization that was created by the gods to protect the world thinking that soft leather is armor.

I have a problem with a really great design being thrown out in favor of something that would excite the cis male gaze.”

[jewishkittypryde-deactivated202]

it’s just really….pathetic and offensive when goyim try to act like they ‘support’ jewish and romani people by saying “punch nazis!!” and then a minute later are like “oh this show is having a ‘nazis won’ plot, having jewish chars killed off by nazis, and also turning jewish characters into nazis? no problem bc i love that gay rep we are getting from this plot!” like it’s honestly so clear that you are antisemitic and don’t actually care about jewish and romani people
