Chin up, Buttercup

A scoop of Soul and two dashes of SunshineSometime's I'm a geek, sometimes I'm a deep thinker. Some days I want to stay in bed, other times I want to be out until the sun rises. Mostly I'm happy, but sometimes I'm not.This is a collection of anything...

Hey people! It’s early morning here, so I don’t know who will see this, or when, but I am permanently logging out of this account. I wanted to leave this behind, so people who might notice the radio silence and curiously come to my page will have some kind of explanation as to why I’m no longer posting.

My decision to leave has nothing to do with anything that has happened on tumblr. I’ve been trying to really figure out my life a little extra recently, and looking at what changes I could make to improve it. One thought that keeps coming up is to leave the site.

Part of that makes me sad. I’ve met some great people on here, I can count on a good laugh, insightful reads, and sometimes even a comforting message or kind gesture. But I feel pretty strongly about the decision. And frankly, making changes to love my life more is of greater importance to me than having access to what this site offers.

You guys are great and I wish you all of the joy and health and wellness that you could possibly have.

My little brother just did this in like 40 seconds with one ketchup packet and I have never been more proud.

imagine if the oceans were replaced by forests and if you went into the forest the trees would get taller the deeper you went and there’d be thousands of undiscovered species and you could effectively walk across the ocean but the deeper you went, the darker it would be and the animals would get progressively scarier and more dangerous and instead of whales there’d be giant deer and just wow

It is an unspoken rule that if a little kid is hiding under a blanket or couch cushions, you are required to comment on how lumpy the blanket is and pretend to sit on it to try and “smooth it out.”

Also, if you’re playing hide-and-seek with them, it is critical that you search every other possible (and impossible) hiding spot, all the while wondering out loud how they managed to disappear just like magic, before walking right past their hiding spot.

If a kid hands you a phone, you answer it

If a kid shoots you with a Nerf Gun you are supposed to Die a dramatic death and explain “ugh you shot me blaahh”

I literally just blocked about a dozen people on this post for being cranky about children.

Being a joyless shitbeast to kids isn’t cool. They’re kids. If you want to be Oscar the Grouch, that’s fine, but do it in a way they understand and explain it to them.

“I don’t want to play, I’m grumpy. Thank you, though, that was kind.”

It’s literally not hard. Kids are small people. Treat them with common fucking decency.

I think my favourite thing about Zombies, Run! is that I can almost unerringly guess future plot points by thinking “what would upset me, personally, the most?”

Sitting at my airport terminal (for the next hour, mind you), and the men next to me are talking about lawns. How it’s the “largest crop”, and has “the biggest environmental impact”.

SOS

Update: There is an older woman with them. She just called and left a voicemail for her grandson. Began it with “Hi Jacob, this is Grandma”, and ended it with “Give me a call back. Love, Grandma”

[fullofsoulandsunshine]

Update 2:

Lawn Man is now talking about how when he was in 8th grade (1963 he says), he wrote a 30-page paper on the Civil War, using just information he found in newspapers, and the school called an assembly for him to read it to everyone.

I never want to leave this terminal.

I don’t care why, this is hysterical.

[bettsplendens]

This is the best kind of prank.

No scares, no injury, no property damage, just confuse the hell out of someone.

So I went to an art conference at my school. We discussed things there, like how colors can be very powerful and our subconscious picks up the subtlest of hints. Pixar’s UP was a very unforgettable example. The colors of UP had a lot to do with why we cried. You all know what I’m talking about, right??

Ellie’s death.

We were told that her color was pink. That’s why her hospital room had pinkish hue.

And the next scene had strong pink hues. He misses her. I think it’s got strong colors because of her personality.

Also, It’s like her presence is still lingering.

When he got home, only a small part of the frame (window on the right) has a pink hue as the sun is setting. By now, we know her presence is drifting away.

Mr. Fredricksen walks up the porch and goes into his house.

And when he shuts the door, the final frame looks like this:

Ellie is gone.

The entire frame is desaturated and cold because the warmth in Mr. Fredrickson’s life is gone.

And that’s another reason why this masterpiece is heart-wrenching. And that’s how powerful colors are in films.

Thanks, I hate it!
