when cats smell something kind of stinky and they take their face away from it but their mouth is still like D:
Good Stink face! It’s my favorite. If I recall it’s bc they’re still processing the smell and having their mouth open helps? Don’t quote me on that, someone can be more specific lol
Fun Random Facts About the LOTR Soundtrack
Most composers spend just 10-12ish weeks working on a film’s music. John Williams spent around 14 weeks on each Star Wars movie, 40ish weeks total for the whole OT……but composing the LOTR trilogy’s soundtrack took four years
The vocals you hear in the soundtrack are usually in one of Tolkien’s languages (esp. Elvish). The English translations of the lyrics are all poems, or quotes from the book, or occasionally even quotes from other parts of the films that are relevant to the scene
When there were no finished scenes for him to score, Howard Shore would develop musical themes inspired by the scripts or passages from the book. That’s how he got all Middle-Earth locations have their own unique sound: he was able to compose drafts of “what Gondor would sound like” and “what Lorien would sound like” long before any scenes in those places were filmed
Shore has said his favorite parts to score were always the little heartfelt moments between Frodo and Sam
Shore wrote over 100 unique leitmotifs/musical themes to represent specific people, places, and things in Middle Earth (over 160 if you count The Hobbit)
The ones we all talk about are the Fellowship theme, the main Shire Theme, and the themes for places like Gondor, Mordor, Rohan, and Rivendell…but a lot of the more subtle ones get overlooked and underappreciated
Like Aragorn’s theme. It’s a lot less “obvious” than the others because, like Aragorn himself, it adapts to take on the color of whatever place Aragorn is in: it’s played on dramatic broody stringed instruments in Bree, on horns in battle scenes, softly on the flute with Arwen in Rivendell….
Eowyn has not just one but three different leitmotifs to represent her
Gollum and Smeagol both have their own leitmotifs! Whose theme music is playing in the scene can often tell you whether the Gollum or Smeagol side is “winning” at the moment
The melody for Gollum’s Song in the end credits of the The Two Towers is the Smeagol and Gollum themes smushed together (it’s Symbolic)
And then there’s the really obscure ones. Like there’s a melody that plays at Boromir’s death that shows up again in ROTK in scenes that foreshadow a major death or loss
Wikipedia actually has a list of these leitmotifs, click this link and scroll down to check it out if you’re bored
Shore wanted the theme music to grow alongside the characters– so that as the characters changed, their theme music would change with them.
You can hear that most clearly in the Shire theme. Like the hobbits, it goes through A Lot
Like compare the childish lil penny whistle theme you hear in Concerning Hobbits/the beginning of FOTR with (throws a dart at random Beautiful Tragic Hobbit Character Development scene because there WAY TOO MANY to choose from) the scene when Pippin finds Merry on the battlefield, where you hear a kind of shattered and broken but more mature version of that same theme in the background
I could write you a book on how much I love the way the Shire theme grows across the course of these films
Unlike the hero’s themes, which constantly change and grow, the villain’s themes (The One Ring theme, the Isengard theme, etc) remain basically the same from the very beginning of FOTR to the end of ROTK. Shore said this was an intentional choice: to emphasize that evil is static, while good is capable of change
Shore has said that between all the music that made into the movies and the music that didn’t, he composed enough for “a month of continuous listening”……..where can I sign up
Look I studied music composition at uni including a class on Wagner in which I listened to the entire Ring cycle over four times per opera while reading the piano reductions and full orchestral scores and studying the various leitmotifs and I kid you not, the LotR scores are absolutely on that level of complexity and brilliance. They are phenomenal and the more I listen to them the more I find to respect. I hope students nowadays get to study them because there’s so, so much there. So many layers of meaning and foreshadowing and internal references woven together into this incredible tapestry of music.
When I'm in charge of the planet, it will be illegal to make a job posting unless you are actively searching for a candidate.
Lean staffing will also be illegal. If you need three people to do a job, you're hiring four.
You are also either earning an amount or you are not earning that amount. 'Earn up to 21.50/hr' no. Either you're paying 21.50 or you are not paying 21.50. Tell the truth or jail for employer for 1000 years.
If someone asks for 2 years experience for an entry level job paying just above minimum wage, you should be legally permitted to launch them into the fucking sun.
if you’re jewish and need to take time off from work for the high holidays here’s your reminder to request time off now so you don’t forget

Does the schrodinger's box experiment account for the fact that a cat in a box is most likely gonna yowl its lungs out
I’m trying so hard to post things on every social media site I’ve got and it’s a struggle. The dreaded algorithms are messing me up something fierce.
If you see any of my posts promoting my art or streams, I’d appreciate a like or reblog to help with visibility.
I might take a day to schedule posts on here to maybe keep content going. Idk. I just want all my hard work to be worth it, you know?
I want to add more to this set, I love them so much. What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?

Can all the tumblr homosexuals agree to stop buying chick fil a. It's so depressing that across the board lgbt people and supporters are indifferent to chick fil a and feel fine buying it. Can we at least stigmatize it here
For those who actually like chick fil a sauce and refuse to boycott because of that:
It's ranch dressing, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce. Now free yourself
Fuck Chick-fil-A. That homophobic chicken isn't even that good, y'all are literally simping over chicken that tastes like it was made at a White cookout
The sauce:
Chick-fil-A Sauce is a delicious cross between honey mustard and bbq that tastes even better than the original. Being able to make this amaz
The chicken (deep fried):
Enjoy a delicious Chick-fil-a Spicy Chicken Sandwich anytime you want at home. This copycat recipe is easy to make and so tasty.
Air fryer version:
Air Fryer Copycat Chick Fil A Sandwich is juicy chicken that is super crispy in every bite. It tastes just like the real thing!
Fresh lemonade:

Lemonade milkshake:
Make your own homemade Chick Fil A Frosted Lemonade at home. Enjoy this summer treat any time of year. #chickFilA #copycat #lemonade
Whatever thing you love at chikfila you can make yourself fairly trivially (if! you are able to cook! which I know not everyone can).
Simply look for a "copycat recipe" for the item, eg, "chikfila copycat chicken recipe."
There are literally thousands of extremely dedicated food bloggers out there who have long ago perfected there at home versions of stuff.
[Image IDs: Tumblr tags. Image #1: Tumblr tag reading: #it's not the only place that mixes mayo and ketchup and calls it secret sauce. Image #2: #queer people that have a quirkly little saying for why they still eat chick fil a <<<<<<<<< hammering hot nails into my joints. /End IDs]

Implicit storytelling in two tweets:
Yeah. They did that. I bet the ‘clarification’ came as a result of some strong legal threats.
So be aware in the coming weeks that if your favorite actor reportedly says something shitty about the strike that makes your blood boil? Check the sources. There’s going to be a lot of uh, spin in the news.
Idk a lot of the backlash to broadening who falls under what terms comes from the need to distinctly fall under the specific label you worked towards…but distance from adjacent labels only limits your allies and puts you in a rigid box you can’t come back out of either.
Saw a post by a trans woman horrified by the concept of having overlapping experience with femboys because “fuck you I am a woman.” You are. A woman with a lot of overlapping experience with a GNC man. You’re not a GNC man. He’s not a woman. And the gap between you two is not a chasm.
“How dare you say trans men are similar to butch lesbians. Trans men are men.” Yeah, men with similar experiences to butch lesbians. The butch lesbian isn’t a man. You aren’t a woman. And the gap between you is not a chasm.
This mindset doesn’t even account for GNC men who also ID as women, trans men who use the label of lesbian. Butch can be a label for a person of either AGAB.
Binary trans people wanna separate themselves from each other and from nonbinary people sooo bad. Now it makes eggs feel like the jump from GNC woman to man is an insurmountable journey. A femboy gets told he’s making a mockery of trans women’s experiences. A transmasc femboy is seen as just a faker. A butch trans lesbian is seen as a faker.
These labels are all just plots on the map, not one side or the other. You journey to the farthest edges and you find twinks and lesbians who look and act identical despite being supposed opposites. It’s all made up, we’re all queer.
the thing is also that the experiences of cishet men and cishet women are not categorically opposite either! the belief that genders exist as distinct and EXCLUSIVE categories of being is the underpinning of heteronormativity, where you define yourself in opposition to everyone outside your own arbitrary category. and that's just not how humans are. my experience in transitioning from woman to man bore this out: women and men have a LOT of thoughts, feelings, and experiences in common, which is precisely why there's such a narrow focus on the (imho few) differences.
you are your gender because that's what you're doing with yourself. it's absolutely a personal thing you get to chose and define. but you're a lot more like other genders than you are different. finding solidarity and commonality with different people won't erase your unique identity , but it WILL gain you a wonderful community.
I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn’t quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. In the spirit of their own long-held stance:
