Nothing slapped my shit back into place like someone pointing out that the "genius gifted child with so much potential who got burnout and mental illness" is just the nerd equivalent to the jock "could have been a pro at sportsball if it wasn't for the injury".

SOMEONE FINALLY PUT IT INTO WORDS!!!

guYS THE FUCKING SIGNS

[animentality]

we as a society got over Pacific Rim too fast.

- banging soundtrack just awesome

- lead female character with her own fully realized arc that had nothing to do with a love interest

- the concept of drifting is so fucking cool and prime fanfic material

- those two gay fucking weirdo scientists who drifted together inside a fucking alien brain like hello

- IT PULLS OUT A SWORD IN OUTER FUCKING SPACE

- kaijus are cool. that's all.

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

[canthaveshitingotham-crucified]

you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling

these exchanges and this fiddling about for the collective to appreciate in passing is, to me, true artistic spirit. I don't know what the past was truly like to live, but in my heart i know that humans have always been... like this

Does anyone else ever feel like they’ve lost literally all motivation and all you want to do is curl up in a ball in bed and eat junk and watch films and avoid all other responsibilities for like 37 years or so

I’ve been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now, *I* am the master.

Princess Mononoke’s mother wolf Moro and Howl’s Moving Castle’s Witch of the Waste are both voiced by a famous singer and drag queen Akihiro Miwa.

Akihiro Miwa (born in 1935) is one of the most prominent queer icon in Japanese history, who survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki (his hometown) during WW2.

This clip is from a document How Princess Mononoke Was Born (1998)

Here’s a video clip of the finishes scene in the movie between Moro and Ashitaka.

i hope you write (i hope we both write)

What do you mean the first ever Doctor Who serial is now missing from official release bc the writer's son who inherited the rights cancelled them out of a vague revenge plot, either for not paying his dad enough in the 60s, or bc he's mad that they cast a woman and a black man as the Doctor

He also seems to think his dad created Doctor Who and that he owns the TARDIS as a concept now which. Okay

[lizardsfromspace]

I can't stress enough that Anthony Coburn didn't create Doctor Who. He was assigned to write the first serial and obviously added things to that but he didn't come up with the idea. By TARDIS originator he literally means "he wrote the line where Susan makes up the name 'TARDIS'", which at least makes him the first person since 1963 to remember Susan made up the name TARDIS.

The weirdest part of this is that apparently he hates regeneration as a concept. He wants control over the show his dad didn't create so he can institute his dream of a Doctor Who where the Doctor always looks and dresses the same no matter who's playing him, or alternatively just died with Hartnell

"A person does NOT become another person" It's a show about a two-hearted alien traveling in a infinitely large phone box, and he thinks a character changing their wardrobe at different points in their life is too silly and hard to believe

[lizardsfromspace]

Whelp, he did it.

Given he almost certainly doesn't have the rights to do this, I'm sure this is just while the rights are in dispute, but. Yikes.

The weird part is, he was offered money. He said the BBC's offer was a "starting point" but, allegedly, it was the maximum they're allowed to offer him under the union contract Anthony Coburn had in the 60s. So what does he want on top of that?

For the BBC to produce his pilot.

"Here's the most money we can offer you." "Fuck you, and produce my rewrite of my dad's pilot you rejected in the 70s."

He's paranoid that the BBC "killed" his father, but it looks like he's paranoid the BBC, the network willing to pay him 20,000 pounds for rights he probably doesn't have, may go after him too, and he has a contingency:

He's going to leave the rights to Vladimir Putin. Who he thinks will sue the BBC and/or start World War III over the streaming rights to the first four episodes of Doctor Who. He also believes Putin will grant him asylum from BBC assassins, in exchange for the cavemen episodes of Doctor Who

[circular-time]

What a twat.

Thankfully they've left Britbox alone. I just checked.

If he weren't being a white supremacist asshole, I'd be laughing about the fact that he's still griping about how they RUINED Doctor Who at the end of Patrick Troughton's run when they changed the concept of the Doctor from a wiley old inventor whose time machine could "rejuvenate" him to an alien who regenerated. TIME LORDS ARE NOT CANON! they were added at the end of the seventh season!

On the other hand, this is a warning to anyone insisting on Doctor Who canon, when the show was already contradicting itself during the b&w era: Don't be that guy.
