What you mean the reflection doesn’t match???? Must be an illusion or something

Choose whimsical fun and joy instead of grinding hard detail

Devastating! Art museum gift shop doesn’t sell prints of specific and unpopular painting that struck a cord with you!

I was today years old when I learned that sean astin l i v e d the plot of mamma mia

[deanhoney-deactivated20220819]

so for those who are asking it basically went like this:

around the time of his birth sean astin's mother patty duke had three highly publicized affairs with three different men: desi arnaz, jr., michael fell, and john astin

most people at the time believed desi to be sean's father, but patty released that john astin was actually sean's biological father. this seemed to be confirmed when patty and john got married and stayed that way for thirteen years.

when sean began to hear rumors that his actual biological father might not be john, he reached out to both desi and michael and formed close relationships with both of them

later he took a dna test that confirmed that michael fell was his biological father, but he remained close with all three men, citing john (the man who raised him) as his "true father."

Master Frodo, here we go again

[pocket-size-cthulhu]

If you are a person who doesn't like Frodo Baggins I am taking you by the shoulders. I am shaking you gently. I am asking you if you've ever had to try to do something overwhelming. I am asking you if you've ever had to carry on in the face of insurmountable despair. I am asking if you've ever carried burdens no one else could know of. I am asking if you've never seen yourself in the monstrous. I'm asking you if you've ever been unable to trust your own mind. I am asking if your mental health has ever made you unreasonable. I'm asking if you've ever been too weak to take care of yourself, too weak to do the right thing in the end, too weak to do what, in your heart of hearts, you want to do. I'm asking if you've ever been too small to make a significant difference and if you tried anyway. I'm asking if you've ever faltered under something heavy placed on your shoulders. I'm asking if you've ever taken the next step despite never wanting to move again.

If you haven't yet, you will.

The fact that Orlando Bloom (Legolas) and Andy Serkis (Gollum) both said that they based their performances in Lord of the Rings off of cat behavior really shows you the sheer range of what cats are like

People who sculpt in marble do fabrics and shit just to flex don’t they

[paulsebert]

Marble is a medium in which you can be horny on main and everyone’s like “wow that’s classy.”

[alexaloraetheris]

I think having skills to construct flesh out of stone gives you as much right to be horny on main as any creator god.

They just don't introduce female characters with "Does this mean I'll have to go into full mourning?" like they used to
