Tumblr did not “Goncharov” Poob. Poob is Glupp Shittoing Tubi/Pluto/Roku Channel/Hulu/etc.

[gender-luster]

none of these words are in the bible. or the dictionary, for that matter.

[hugintheraven]

#While this is a joke#For the etymologists out there#Tumblr did not “goncharov” poob#translation: Tumblr is not making a fictitious thing called poob that we insist is real#Poob is glup shittoing (streaming services)#Translation: Poob is now a generic name for whatever streaming platform is out there when you don't feel like naming something specifically

[gallusrostromegalus]

Etymologists are on Tumblr for the same reason Primatologists are out in the jungle: It's where the Monkeys are.

it’s wild going into the comments of the live action moana trailer and see people complain that it’s 1% animated and 99% cgi and in the same breath beg for a live action treasure planet.

treasure planet? the movie that has TWO human characters? and takes place entirely in space and on alien planets? do you understand what kind of cgi monstrosity that would be??? is this what you want????

[timeisamanysplendoredthing]

"ooh treasure planet in CGI" you do NOT want to see that dogman in cgi. dear lorg

[sabertoothwalrus]

you do NOT want to see that dogman in cgi. dear lorg!!!!!!

[ilikecrocssuckit]

But in practical effects? Yes please.

[sabertoothwalrus]

I'm seeing this sentiment repeated over and over, and I get that practical effects deserve appreciation too, but.... can't animated films just exist as they are? do we NEED to adapt animated films to other media?

when will animation on its own be enough?

Tumblr is a place that will just show you, on your dash, yourself emoting eight years ago

And like, if you don’t normally notice usernames or date stamps, and don’t remember the post, then you go “I agree with that guy, definitely ‘?????!!!?’” But it’s you from 8 years ago

[dikdikpronouncedxylophone]

The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there's an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.

So a couple Christmases ago, I got an emergency whistle in my stocking. It was supposed to be deafeningly loud, so obviously not the sort of thing you blow on Christmas morning just to see what it sounds like. And let me tell you, pretty much that whole morning, I was dying to blow that whistle. Out of curiosity, and because I wasn't supposed to. The next time I had the house to myself, it was one of the first things I did.

All of this to say, when Susan rode around with her horn strapped to her saddle, I wonder how often she was intrusively tempted to just pick it up and blow it? Was is hard to run around Narnia with a horn she was only supposed to blow when she was definitely, seriously, for-real in danger?

And more to the point, what about Caspian? Did he ride away from Dr. Cornelius with a little voice in the back of his head going blow the horn dude c'mon just blow it find out what it sounds like c'mon dude?

[supreme-leader-stoat]

#susan was very fortunate to have a horn-justifying emergency within a couple of days#caspian demonstrated great restraint for a 13 year old

[ach-sss-no]

hey I'm sorry to fandom-pivot on your post but i really believe this lotr excerpt is relevant to your point because it features a grown man blowing his very loud war-horn for no apparent reason

Boromir had a long sword, in fashion like Anduril but of less lineage and he bore also a shield and his war-horn. 'Loud and clear it sounds in the valleys of the hills,' he said, and then let all the foes of Gondor flee!' Putting it to his lips he blew a blast, and the echoes leapt from rock to rock, and all that heard that voice in Rivendell sprang to their feet. 'Slow should you be to wind that horn again, Boromir, said Elrond. 'until you stand once more on the borders of your land, and dire need is on you.' 'Maybe,' said Boromir

[elodieunderglass]

Elrond: don’t do that shit in my house again

Boromir: 😌

You're not immune to being the bully btw. You're not immune to being in the wrong

[hiveswap]

"But i'm-" there is no identity or state of being that makes you immune to hurting someone. You can be convinced that you are in the right for doing so. You can be convinced that you're defending someone by doing so. You have always got to examine if you're taking pleasure in hurting someone or if you're actually doing something good.

Yeah I just can’t get into male characters. Every time one shows up he’s always just the Male Character to get brownie points and make an obvious epic maleboss so the writer can feel better about themselves. Not to mention they’re always getting in the way of my cute yuri ship. I just rather go focus on women instead. They’re always the more interesting and better written characters than the one random man they decided to shoehorn in.

Idk who has to hear this today but sometimes the devil doesn’t need an advocate. Sometimes the devil is already winning

Saying this as a recovered devil’s advocate btw, that bitch didn’t need my help he just wanted the exposure

if you want to see how fast something can change from a "right" to a "privilege" in people's minds, try suggesting it should be extended to children, immigrants, and prisoners

I just wanna say the original is like a thousand times funnier than all the edgy sex joke versions. Some of us are just autistic about reptile phylogeny, bitch.

[sun-almighty-wukong]

oh this is the original?

[purpleisdebeste]

I’m sorry Orpheus i was too harsh on you…

[purpleisdebeste]

i was in the physics lab today and we were working with lasers, so the Lab Freaks (legal name) were being very careful to stress that we Do Not Turn Around or Look Behind Us because we’ll get extremely blinded by the power of high strength lasers

and i’m not gonna lie it was actually extremely hard to resist turning around. i misjudged orpheus it turns out this isnt extremely easy actually

[purpleisdebeste]

okay i’ll be honest i 100% looked back at the lasers. actually multiple separate lasers multiple different times. they were pretty

and i didnt get blinded. so clearly lab safety isnt real and you should always risk it cus taking risks is awesome #gambling

but uh. my ass is NOT making it out of the underworld 🔥🔥🔥

amazing how two thousand years have gone by and we still ultimately cannot get past the Ancient Roman view of sex where penetrating was respectable and being penetrated was disgraceful
