Rocky: yeah it was easy for Erid to breed enough astrophage to power a ship, we just plonked it in the ocean

[flashback to the space program prep phases]

Rocky: [wholly focused on building the ship itself and does not care where the astrophage to power it comes from]

Eridian!Francois Leclerc: [having a total emotional breakdown because breeding however many million kilograms of astrophage in the oceans is an extinction level event for marine environments with massive and unpredictable effects on the ecosystems of Erid but it's also undeniably the fastest way to get enough of it to power a spaceship]

Rocky: yeah it went fine probably

[avoid-avoidance]

if Eridian!Leclerc (let's call them Lechalk) wasn't part of the Blip-A crew that died, imagine Rocky & Grace returning to Erid and dropping multiple information-bombs in a row on the Eridians

and while everyone else is flipping the heck out about sapient aliens

Lechalk is in a corner and near-catatonic because wtf do you MEAN all of that Astrophage wasn't needed??? what do you MEAN we essentially nuked Erid's oceans 275% to 425% more than we needed to???

French on loanwords: "If you say 'Youtuber' instead of créateur de courtes vidéos destinées à être visionnées en ligne, Napoleon Bonaparte will come back to life and kill you."

Japanese on loanwords: "Just say yūtuuba or some shit. It don't matter. None of this matters."

I wasn't thinking about art as endurance, as, as, uh, immortality, you know? I mean, we could talk about immortal artists of various kinds and it can turn out that yes, some artists have created art that has really survived thousands of years and that's fantastic but experientially, for them, they are dead, they are gone, they are not experiencing that these are true things. And thank goodness for them. I really feel, and you hear me assuring you that oblivion is freedom.

They are dead, they are gone, no one lasts forever.

David Cronenberg, "No One Lasts Forever" by Charli XCX

New York City ballet production of Midsummer Nights Dream

[thepeelingrenoir]

The fact this isn't a painting is a testament to one of the greatest feats of set design and production I've ever seen.

[thepeelingrenoir]

My god just look at this! The lighting, set design, photography... I've just never seen anything like it.

This is from 1966 and you can see over a hundred photos on the NYPL digital collections website. It is absolutely gorgeous. These are just a few of my favourites.

the best way i can think to describe the experience of reading moby dick is you’re in line at the dmv and this guy behind you very loudly says “well who HASN’T had a gay experience” and then proceeds to tell you every detail about his life in between anecdotes about how great sperm is and how ropes work and sometimes he’ll say the most poetic shit you’ve ever heard in your life and them jump RIGHT back into explaining how a whale is a fish because 1) it swims in water and you’re still only like halfway through the dmv line

hearing anything about the nolan odyssey is so funny. it's like "they cut the extremely important and infamous nobody scene" "the cyclops is a giant puppet that they put in an actual historical cave + gave circe animatronics for her pig transformation instead of cgi" "they dumped plastic skeletons in an environmentally protected location they were not supposed to be in" "they recreated ancient greek instruments in order to have an accurate score" "all of odysseus's agency is basically gone" "anne hathaway actually learned how to weave ancient looms" "the women in this movie are treated like shit" "they actually buried actors alive to get those underworld shots" "did you see what the fuck zendaya was fucking wearing holy shit you can't DO THAT, MA'AM" "what do you mean there was a legitimate epic the musical reference" "NOT A SINGLE FUCKING GREEK WAS CAST IN THIS MOVIE"

like did nolan have two guys standing at his side at all times whispering ideas in his ear and one told the truth and the other told lies and they didnt tell him which was which until they wrapped production cause
