ra ra rasputin is objectively the funniest song ever written it's like "rasputin was an advisor to the romanovs and honestly he was a bit of a power-hungry conman (oof)... but you're not here for a history lesson! you want to know how much he fucked, don't you? well i'll tell you: he fucked. he fucked often and severely."

THE IT CROWD 2.02 ↳ “Return of the Golden Child”

Fun history facts: One of the 31 people arrested at Stonewall on June 28th 1969 was American folk singer Dave Van Ronk, who was not at the Stonewall Inn at the time and was cis & straight as far as I'm aware. He'd been eating dinner at a nearby restaurant when he noticed a riot happening, said "Well I suppose I should go see what the fuss is about," stepped outside, and immediately started throwing bricks at the cops.

sometimes i like watching those silly kids movies especially the ones w a lot of CGI characters in live action because I intentionally like to see how much the big-name celebrity human protagonist is actually committing to this movie. yeah you’re stuck in this corny cash grab plot but are you gonna sit there staring at the camera with your soulless eyes or are you gonna put your whole CHEST into it and earn every dollar of that paycheck??

neil patrick harris does NOT want to be in this dumb smurfs movie but james marsden really DOES want to adopt Sonic as his son. Amy Adams DOES want to dance around w fairytale creatures and muppets. Domhall Gleeson DOES want to brutally murder the james corden rabbit with every ounce of his being.

inside no 9 episodes are either harrowing and masterfully done with enough genius twists and plot clinchers to make roald dahl somehow both still be dead but also jealous he didn't think of them in tales of the unexpected, or they're just whatever fuckery Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton want next on the show with their silly wigs like lords demanding another course at a banquet table

Teachers have tried this and are amazed when their classes don’t go feral like in the book. It’s almost as if the book was supposed to be satire and not a treaty on the nature of humanity.

there’s a timeskip

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

after losing control of the signal fire there’s a FUCKING TIMESKIP and when the next chapter starts everyone’s hair is several inches longer and their clothes have rotted to shreds and they’re still just kind of chilling!!!!

IT TAKES THE TERRIBLE IMPERIALISM MIND-POISONED EXCESSIVELY BRITISH BOYS IN THE ACTUAL BOOK SEVERAL MONTHS TO COMMIT A SINGLE ACT OF INTENTIONAL VIOLENCE, EVEN THE ONE (1) CHILD WRITTEN AS AN ACTUAL SOCIOPATH

AND then when they DO turn on each other it is because

THERE’S AN UNSPECIFIED WORLD WAR HAPPENING

AND A PILOT’S CORPSE CRASH LANDS ON THE ISLAND POST-DOGFIGHT AND THE CHILDREN MISTAKE THE PARACHUTE FOR A MONSTER AND SPIRAL INTO PARANOIA

BECAUSE CHILDREN INHERIT THE LEGACY AND TRAUMA OF VIOLENCE FROM THE ADULTS WAGING WAR AROUND THEM

HURR DURR IN THE REAL WORLD IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN LIKE IN LORD OF THE FLIES -

IT DIDN’T HAPPEN THAT WAY IN LORD OF THE FLIES EITHER YOU JUST HAVEN’T READ IT SINCE HIGH SCHOOL IF EVER AND DON’T REMEMBER WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THE GODDAMN BOOK

#tbf the dude wrote it to be a dick

yes. yes he did. i’m also gonna direct you to the real life ‘lord of the flies’ which occured in the 1960s, when six tongan schoolboys got stranded on a desert island for over a year before being rescued by an australian fisherman (who, it should be noted, later took on all six as crewmembers because the reason they were out in the first place was because they wanted to see the world, and named his ship the Ata after the island they were stranded on). nobody died. the only injuries that occurred were accidental, and when one of the boys broke his leg falling down a cliff, the others braced it and looked after him so well that it healed perfectly. if they argued, then they would literally go to opposite sides of the island until they’d cooled off. after leaving the island, they remained friends for the rest of their lives. here’s a photo of them as adults, with their rescuer (who is third from the left) and other members of his crew.

i read about this in rutger bregman’s human kind, a book i cannot recommend highly enough, but if you don’t want to go and read a whole book about the inherent goodness of humanity (which again, you really should) then the relevant excerpt can be found here.

I say this a lot whenever posts come across my dash about The Lord of the Flies and this won’t be any different. It was never meant to show every day average people, it’s meant to show super entitled privileged people. People who are used to getting whatever they want a certain way to the point they think it’s owed to them. People who are selfish in the ways they’ve been given everything so far that they think no one else should have it unless they get to have it. The type of people who also unfortunately happen to run our planet.

And if you don’t think that that sort of person exists and that it could lead to this sort of thing, please look up what happened at the Fyre Festival and how quickly everyone there turned on each other and their environment the second they were forced to live in conditions they were not used to.

“We asked them to bring the most impressive stolen item.”

I have absolutely no idea what this is from or any context whatsoever, but I cannot stop laughing

sweaterkittensahoy

This is from Taskmaster, a British gameshow of absolute, wonderful nonsense. Big recommend.

pockyjocky

1) Specifically the New Zealand version of Taskmaster

2) This is the prize task, where the Taskmaster asks the contestants to bring in something based on a category or concept, here being the “most impressive stolen thing” and assigns points based on which thing he thinks is the best. Importantly, the person who wins the episode traditionally wins all the things the other contestants brought in, making Ursula’s “I really want to win now” comment totally priceless.

Examples of Chekhov’s gun in Knives Out (2019)

Chekhov’s gun (Russian: Чеховское ружьё) is a dramatic principle that states that every element in a story must be necessary, and irrelevant elements should be removed.

“If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there.”

“One must never place a loaded rifle on the stage if it isn’t going to go off. It’s wrong to make promises you don’t mean to keep.“ - Chekhov, letter to Aleksandr Semenovich Lazarev, 1 November 1889.

lesser movies than mamma mia (2008) would've made the central conflict be between the three dads and stoked endless competition and jealousy between them, fighting about who gets to be sophie's "real dad" and who has (and had) a "right" to pursue donna but mamma mia is no such movie. mamma mia is a cinematic masterpiece and as such they are pals throughout, happily go along with all the shenanigans and spend loads of quality time together throughout the film. they are just vibing! and then all three of them become the dads no questions asked. no drama! only vibing in greece

good morning everyone have an absolutely furious mongoose

It’s cuter when you recognize that the lion with visible spots is a juvenile. There’s a very high chance the other lion that runs over to investigate is the MOTHER.

The first lion is asking for comfort because she was given a big spook!!! and she needs mommy to tell her it’s safe and ok!!!! (What’s cuter is that mommy clearly reassures her, and goes on to take the parent role of ‘deal with the scream rat in order to protect my large and easily frightened daughter’)

this is all in all an adorable video 10/10
