A Taste of Christmas: Disneyland Afternoon Tea Review

STAR WARS: EPISODE IX – THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

[eggdrawsthings]

Are you tired of being nice? Don't you just wanna go apeshit?

I know his saber is blue but i made it red for dramatic purposes

Was just rewatching A New Hope for the 45 millionth time. A movie I have seen THIS many times in my life should NOT make me laugh or fill me with this much glee STILL, but here we are. I could -- and likely will -- watch it another 45 million times. 😅

It's only gotten BETTER over the years because EVERYTHING KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER. When I first saw it, it was the first Star Wars anything I'd ever seen, and the Original Trilogy was the only major content that existed back then anyways, because I am Old. So with ONLY that movie to go on, and because I was a small child, I could kind of buy all of these people as Somewhat Serious Characters Whose Lives of Great Adventure were and would be dignified. Then you get through the whole OT and it's like "OK whoa, ghosts and swamp muppets and Darth Vader is a human man who apparently procreated?? Obi-Wan left a LOT of what sounds like pretty crazy shit out???" Han, Leia, Luke are all moderate disasters and you still feel like we have a LOT of missing information on preeeeeeetty much everyone? Sheev is a thing, and he's possibly the best and funniest villain who has EVER EXISTED? They built the same superweapon twice and it got blown up twice within a very short span of time?

Fast forward to now: The Prequels, The Sequels, Rogue One, TCW, Rebels, Mando, the Obi-Wan Show, on and on and ON AND ON. I watch A New Hope NOW and I'm full-on cackling within the first 30 seconds, because look: here's Anakin, being a giant attention whore AND acting like he's in charge when you now know he has NO REMOTELY FULL IDEA OF WHAT'S GOING ON AND BASICALLY NEVER HAS. Leia JUST handed the Death Star plans off like 45 seconds earlier, AND she hates Anakin AND he's actually her bio-dad AND she helped Obi-Wan find the will to kick his ass ONCE already and she's SENDING ANAKIN'S OWN DROIDS TO GO GET OBI-WAN SO HE CAN MESS WITH ANAKIN'S BRAIN AGAIN.

Uncle Owen REPURCHASES HIS LATE STEPMOM'S DROID which he actually needed to help on his farm, which Anakin STOLE FROM HIS OWN FAMILY WITHOUT ASKING TO GIVE TO HIS GIRLFRIEND, WHO THEN INADVERTENTLY ENDED UP GIVING IT TO OBI-WAN WHEN SHE DIED AND ANAKIN GOT SET ON FIRE. AND THAT SAME DROID IS GOING TO BASICALLY IMMEDIATELY GET STOLEN, BY OBI-WAN, AGAIN.

This is like, scratching the surface of 1200 hilarious things that happen WITHIN THE FIRST HALF HOUR OF THIS FILM. I love Star Wars SO MUCH and while I respect people's rights to their own opinions I cannot imagine not loving this gloriously batshit soap opera. It is THE BEST.

imagine dealing w an international crisis involving precious artifacts and someone is like ‘don’t worry I know a guy’ and it’s a dorky connecticut college professor named henry who slips into his slutsona and suddenly he’s capable of saving the world w the power of his whip & fedora

[assiraphales]

you don’t know where the guy is. you don’t know where the guy is going. but you do know he’s on the case w a 98% success rate and his tits are out

The tailors at Colonial Williamsburg made a suit for their cat

[vinceaddams]

The best part is that they were inspired by a diary entry from 1775, written by a 12 year old tailor’s apprentice who had been left unsupervised all day and decided to make a suit for a cat. Here’s a link to the blog post about it, but I’ll just paste the whole diary entry here:

“I had been at work about two months when Christmas came on – and here I must relate a little anecdote. The principal [the tailor] and his lady were invited to a party among their friends…while it devolved on me to stay at home and keep house. There was nothing left me in charge to do, only to take care of the house. There was a large cat that generally lay about the fire. In order to try my mechanical powers, I concluded to make a suit of clothing for puss, and for my purpose gathered some scraps of cloth that lay about the shop-board, and went to work as hard as I could. Late in the evening I got my suit of clothes finished; I caught the cat, put on the whole suit – coat, vest, and small-clothes [breeches] – buttoned all on tight, and set down my cat to inspect the fit. 

“Unfortunately for me there was a hole through the floor close to the fireplace, just large enough for the cat to pass down; after making some efforts to get rid of the clothes, and failing, pussy descended through the hole and disappeared; the floor was tight and the house underpinned with brick, so there was no chance of pursuit. I consoled myself with a hope that the cat would extricate itself from its incumbrance, but not so; night came and I had made on a good fire and seated myself for some two or three hours after dark, when who should make their appearance but my master and mistress and two young men, all in good humor, with two or three bottles of rum. After all were seated around the fire, who should appear amongst us but the cat in his uniform. I was struck speechless, the secret was out and had no chance of concealing; the cat was caught, the whole work inspected and the question asked, is this your day’s work? I was obliged to answer in the affirmative; I would then have been willing to take a good whipping, and let it stop there, but no, to complete my mortification the clothes were carefully taken off the cat and hung up in the shop for the inspection of all customers that came in.”

speechless. the pose. the expression. this should be a painting.

[psychotic-gerard]

Draw badly. Write nonsensically. Embroider messily. Burn what you bake and cook. Get paint everywhere. Read half a book. Lose your mind for a bit. Plant things. Have faith in the process. Abandon 70 wood-carving projects. Get a kit and do some of it and never return to it. Get comfortable with sucking and losing motivation. Continue to create with reckless abandon.

"I have to say I am an optimist. I’ve always been built that way. I’m quite a happy person. I can find joy in lots of things. I just am happy. I don’t have to look for it. I don’t have to do things to encourage my sense of optimism. I have it anyway."

the role of the person in the passenger seat is not only navigator but secretary as well. you have to type up the drivers messages to random ladies on facebook about cbd cream & google whether that billy joel song was the theme song for that show or not

[moveslikekeithrichards]

you also have to provide a henchmans disdainful scowl at whoever the driver is flipping off in the target parking lot

[the-apocrypha]

other assorted roles may include

retrieval team for objects in the backseat

custodian of the parking garage tickets

"All clear my way"
