this man won an oscar for screenwriting and it shows

I imagine this is how Joss Whedon sounds when he writes

[filiasyth]

[Video description: a short clip of Taika Waititi seated at a desk, typing furiously on his computer, mock-writing a screenplay. The camera gradually zooms in on him.]

Transcript:

Waititi: (loudly clacking on keyboard) Exterior… yep.

Interior, law firm, LA. (puts on a playfully obnoxious tone) “She walks in like a badass. She’s strong, independent, yet also sensitive, like a strong independent sensitive flower that’s been dipped in concrete and has got spikes all over it – sexy, but doesn’t know it.” (he sticks out his tongue.)

Kidding (2018)

This is called

Shaynas Sequence

[arkham]

a lot of people are tagging this with “film” and “movies” or talking about the magic of moviemaking but i really want to point out that Kidding is a TV show.

i feel it’s important to make this distinction because there’s a common (sometimes subconscious) thought that TV is a lesser form of digital art compared to film, but television, especially recently, has been phenomenal and it deserves proper credit as a storytelling medium, as well as a craft just as capable of amazing work like this

[stonebiscuit]

This is fucking INCREDIBLE.

[durnesque-esque]

Masterful.

Happy Labor Day. Today I learned about probably the first strike to happen IN SPACE.

[belligerentbagel]

“We would never work 16 hours a day for 84 straight days on the ground, and we should not be expected to do it here in space.“ 

The day when three NASA astronauts staged a strike in space (Hiltzik, LA Times)

[feraladoration]

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE. Even in space. 🚀

Imagine: Its 2025. You’re getting pulled over. A community representative approaches to let you know you have a taillight out. They don’t need your license and registration, they don’t write you a fix-it ticket. You’re back on the road in less than five minutes. You swing by the store and grab a new light, not because you’re afraid of what the city will do to you, but because you respect your community and know that having all your lights working is part of the driving privilege.

Your neighbors got into a loud spat a few weeks ago and without fear or hesitation, called a domestic assistance number. A counselor arrived and was able to talk the couple down and suggest solutions for their disagreement. No one was hurt, the kids participated in the discussion, and it’s been quiet ever since.

Your friend has been struggling with addiction and you fear they might be a danger to themselves or others. You call a substance abuse specialist and they talk you through ways to help your friend get treatment. They offer to send an agent out to speak with your friend directly and provide information on harm reduction centers in your area.

Black and brown people are no longer being exploited through tickets and fines to pay for police. Trust is slowly being fostered in the community.

Teachers are being paid a living wage and students are being given more time, attention, and education. Books are up to date and classrooms are optimized to keep up with technology.

Trump is out of office.

It’s been a very long time since the name of a murdered black person was used as a hashtag.

Casual racism is no longer tolerated. The KKK has been classified as a terrorist organization. The Confederate flag isnt flown and has been removed from any official state flags or insignias. Most Confederate monuments have been taken down and placed in storage or museums.

You trust the investigation force to deal with crime the same way you trust firefighters to put out fires.

That’s what ‘defund the police’ looks like. What we’ve seen in the last few weeks shows how overreaching and power-drunk many officers are. We asked too much of them and then called them heroes despite evidence to the contrary. We let them think that they could get away with anything, including murder. Its time for change.

It’s not about the end of “to protect and serve.” It’s about bringing it BACK to “to protect and serve” as opposed to “act as judge, jury, and executioner and violate peoples’ rights because cops are scared people with power who are dealing with things they were never trained to deal with, or who were trained WAY wrong on how to deal with it, or who are just assholes to begin with.

“Some people” are just mad that cops would no longer be randomly arresting/killing people who those “some people” see as lesser beings.

[mariahhasnocause]

You know before the pandemic I didn't believe a school would stay open if there was a giant deadly snake in the pipes with the potential to kill students. Now I could see it.

dear universe;

hello. i am writing to let you know you did good job on the stars, and also on cats.

yours respectfully, me

[inkskinned]

dear universe,

in the original post of this, it says “dogs” where it now says “cats”. i do not know when (or how) it got changed, but i am glad that someone loved cats enough to do that, because i love my dog and i also love my cats and i felt bad about not mentioning it that first time. i’m also glad for all the tags where people told me what i should have added (like libraries and waffles and maple syrup) and i am glad for all the comments about how much they love their pets (and some people have such cool pets!)

i kind of think, universe, if we are your children, this is our macaroni art. see, see, see, you gave us a little bit of the stars, and we’ve made our own constellations. we tried to give back to you by making art and music and books and bad poetry and our laughter and our love and our tv dramadies. we took pictures of the night sky and pictures of sunsets and pictures of dew, we fell in love with space and the rivers and the rain. i personally have my desktop background as a picture of one of your nebulas. your hair looked great that day.

i think…. you did a good job, universe, on the stars, and what the stars became, because you put us together and yes, yes, things might be terrible - but good gracious did we make so many things worth loving, worth writing to you about, worth telling you - thank you, i’m taking the spark you put in me and using it to be kind, to be alive, to be wildly fierce about our gardens and gentle about our pets.

so hello. i amend my previous memo. i am writing to let you know you did a good job on the stars, and on my dog and my cats and the lizard i kept illegally in my apartment. and universe, i hope you’re watching, because some of the people you made? they’re great, universe, and they’re full of love, just endlessly capable of loving. and they give me hope.

and through them, universe, that’s you. that’s how the stars sing.

yours respectfully, me

I really need a reminder of what is happening here because, hot damn look at that man’s face.

@extremedistressorstellarblowjob @littlegreenplasticsoldier Ummm this does not need context at all

This is exactly how I think about this! My internal nine year old is incredibly sassy.

aunt-mimi:

When somebody says that “a man likes to feel like a man,” all I hear is “A man likes to feel superior to you and it’s your job to make him believe it.” 

Someone said this to me once, that a man needs to feel like a man, I replied “well I’m not stopping him” and had to watch this fragile creature try to explain to me that my strong personality could demean men.

Like, if I have to pretend you are a strong man and cater to that then clearly you’re not that strong dude.

“if I have to pretend you are a strong man and cater to that then clearly you’re not that strong dude.”

bolded for those in back

if you’re a baby gay and this is your first pride, watch your drinks! men are trash across all sexualities

[mezzalunanova]

I know boys don’t get these talks so let me clarify:

This doesn’t just mean alcohol

Don’t accept any open drinks

After you get your unopened drink, you keep it in your site

You have to go to the bathroom so you leave your drink on a table? That drink is now dead to you.

You’ve been holding your drink way low out of your eyesight and people are crowding? That drink is now suspect.

Stay safe, babies

[cherrycoloredsky-archive]

Also: Rohypnol (a date rape drug) tastes VERY SALTY. If your drink is suddenly salty, STOP DRINKING IMMEDIATELY. 

[bigmouthlass]

Buddy system, y'all. If your friend is acting *way* drunker than they should, take them to an Urgent Care or ER. Date rape drugs can kill you.

[flawlesstrueperfection-deactiva]

the first step towards confidence is not being afraid to be ugly

once you get over the fear of being unattractive and stop equating beauty with other good things in life (friends, love, happiness) it’s a lot easier to love yourself unconditionally

your job is not to sit around and be pretty and easy on everyone else’s eyes

your job is to do whatever the fuck you want and look however the fuck you want while doing it

[qualitynighthideout-deactivated]

fuck yeah

Six Things To Remember

1) You are allowed to take up space. You are human. 

2) You are allowed to have a voice.

3) You are allowed to leave whenever you feel uncomfortable or unsafe

4) You deserve more than someone who doesn’t know how to respect you.

5) You are allowed to put your own needs first.

6) You are allowed to love yourself.

Always Keep Fighting

Hi SPN Family! 

I am currently writing a paper on Always Keep Fighting, and I’m really trying to capture the immense healing power it has on people. I’ve covered that from my perspective, but I thought it would be even better if I could include some testimonies from other fans, as well. And I could really, really use your help for this. So would you be kind enough to share with me what AKF means to you, and what changes it inspired you to make in your life? If you could mention where you live, or anything that would help me express the diversity of the people that it helped, I would be immensely grateful.

Thanks, guys!! xxx

Do I…. Do I use my instrument for this?

[durnesque-esque]

I mean, it’d be 10,000x funnier if the clarinet player assigned just stood up and started screaming.

If Alexander Hamilton was an instrument, he’d be this clarinet.

“Got the morbs” should be a thing.

[breelandwalker]

Victorian slang is AMAZING, and select phrases really need to make a comeback.

“Bitch the pot” - Pour the tea (HOW RELEVANT IS THIS!?)

“Bang up the elephant” - Absolutely perfect; super stylish

“Well, that’s shot the bale” - Something that has missed the mark entirely

“Church-bell” - A woman prone to gossip

“Chuckaboo” - A dear friend, a bosom chum

“Beer and skittles” - A great time (see also: Irish Gaelic “craic”)

“Butter on bacon” - Something overdone or too extravagant

“Cupid’s kettle drums” - Breasts, particularly large ones

“Gigglemug” - A cheerful smiling face

[thecuriousviolet-deactivated201]

All of these??? Make me smile??? They’re so weird and wonderful I love them??? Especially bitch the pot because that’s something I could totally hear myself saying…that and chuckaboo
