overkill character aesthetics: vicky

“I assumed Vicky died sometime in the 70’s, because of the whole Gogo-Dancer-on-Casual-Friday look she has going on, but she’s been dead for basically forever, since even before all the people who were worked to death in the Industrial Revolution. According to her, it all changed sometime in ‘69, when a bunch of women came to Hardy for a Womyn-with-a-Y Wilderness Liberation Retreat and Anti-Capitalist S’mores Contest. I guess they talked about the usual 60’s stuff — the man, probably, or maybe disco. Vicky got super into it. She became like a full-fledged convert, reading bell hooks over their shoulders and scaring the shit out of wannabe rapists lurking in the park. She even claims to have burned her corset, which I don’t know if I believe. It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just — what does an afterlife fire even look like, you know?”

no one fights like jim kirk

from great heights like jim kirk

no one’s style of weird combat delights like jim kirk’s

for there’s no one as defiant of gravity

he’s perfect. a pure paragon

[daggers-drawn]

Jim Kirk is unaware of the invention of “punching”.

[worldinmywindow2]

Oh he’s aware, he just chooses to yeet his body at opponents to throw them off their rhythm.  its STREET SMARTS

I’m sorry to say this gay joe russo, but the first LGBTQ+ character in mcu is in fact Agent Jimmy Woo who asked Scott Lang out, with his whole chest, seconds after he released him from custody

Also good on these people for taking the aggressively petty route instead of falsely registering their pets as service animals

I love how everyone intentionally interpreted this not as “your dog must be small” but “your dog must be in a bag”

Thanks, Now I have nightmares

this was long before cartoons were ever thought of as ‘for kids’, the target audience of this one was roughly 20-40 betty boop cartoons featuring cab calloway singing, yes, but slang has changed so much you dont realize he was singing about opium, sugar daddies, death, weed, sex, booze, and gambling back when gambling was nearly as tabboo as sex and drugs. ‘minnie the moocher’ where cab calloway is a dancing walrus is specifically about someone who does literally everything on that list but die

most of the animation studios had their ‘thing’ to make their animation stand out, disney had fluid motion linked with quality music, warner brothers had top notch dialogue with carefully crafted facial expressions, MGM had comedic timing down to the individual frame that no live action comedian could dream of achieving, terrytoons had the budget of a ham sandwitch and a fistfull of nickels fleischer studios however had authentic jazz and heavy toned subject matter, often crossing the line of what we think of as ‘cartoon violence’ into realistic

[peathefeary]

idk why this is making me so emotional???

[mcloveleigh]

I love this. I’ve always had a love for cartoons

[melaninondeck-deactivated201907]

Cab Calloway, he was a legend performer and entertainer, although he’s listed as a jazz singer he did much more with his voice, his singing style and delivery was very unique. Cab (with his band) was the first black artist to sell over a million copies of a single record and he paved the way for many artists to come. Happy Black History Month.

“We’d been friends for three years.  We’d mostly see each other at the Catholic Center on campus: picnics, group outings, stuff like that.  But then we started hanging out alone.  And one day during finals week we spent an entire day together.  We talked for six hours straight, and that night we ended up eating burgers at Five Guys.  Remember it was finals week, so I was stressed out and sleep deprived and not thinking clearly.  I started telling him that he’s so great, and that I’ve never felt so comfortable with someone, and suddenly I realize that I’m practically telling him that I like him.  And he’s got this blank expression on his face.  Total poker face.  So I panicked, and said something silly.”     “She told me, word-for-word: ‘But don’t worry.  I could never date you.’  My heart sank.  I’d been planning on asking her out after finals.  I had a whole plan.  Suddenly it felt like I’d misread the last three years, and especially the last few months.  I tried to keep a straight face.  No crying.  And after we paid for the check, I dropped her off at the dorm and walked the entire two miles home.  I kept telling myself: ‘You can recover.  She’s still a dear friend.  Life has its ups and downs.’  Two weeks later I helped her move into a new apartment.  And we kept hanging out as friends for the next few months.  But then on Valentine’s Day, she sent me a neuroscience card.  It’s a bit of a tradition because we’re both neuroscience majors.  The card said: ‘Are you a neuron? Because you have action potential.’  Then she followed up with a text that said: ‘If a man really wants to impress me, he’d bring me pancakes and yellow roses.’  Suddenly things were looking up again.”

and let’s take a moment to appreciate the fact that michelangelo had probably never seen a girl naked and when he want to sculpt or paint them his mentality seems to be “wow, everyone likes women….they must be like…..buff dudes. i love buff dudes. women are buff dudes but with little chest lumps and no wiener”

“nailed it.”

I am in the absolute SHITTIEST mood right now, but this actually made me laugh out loud.

The NYC Met museum had an exhibition where a projection of the Sistine chapel was paired with a bunch of Michelangelo’s sketches.

My friends… EVERYONE KNEW HE WAS GAY. He wasn’t even trying to hide it.

He drew portraits of and for his crushes and boyfriends. He had KNOWN lovers and he definitely had a thing for young brawny men.

Historians: “oh, I’m such a genius, this man is referenced as his favourite. His love must have been a lecherous secret. Dirty, perverted, secretive.”
