You see in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.

a strange promo photo for rawhide, which seems to be suggesting there’s an episode where Rowdy meets a nice young couple who are very into feet and has a threesome

can not stop thinking about this tiny manga lawrence 

[jacksonbently]

Lawrence :D

:DSexuality Headcanon: likes strapping young men and pain Gender Headcanon: nonbinary! mostly a gal but his gender shifts and is hard to pin down, comfortable with all pronouns sans “it” but mostly goes with he/him for convenience’s sakeA ship I have with said character: lawrence and ali!!! hes ali’s wife! Thats CanonA BROTP I have with said character: idk with fiesel i guess? also i love him with nancy but shes my oc so i dont think that countsA NOTP I have with said character:GERTRUDE BELL and any women (outside of like, hes blackmailed into marriage) i cant believe theres a movie where T.E. Lawrence is with her what the fuckA random headcanon:unlike his historical counterpart he loves childrenGeneral Opinion over said character: DAUGHTER. BEAUTIFUL AND DEEPLY FLAWED DAUGHTER

[jacksonbently]

1. A very random headcannon regarding the ship: Lawrence was attracted to Ali before he even saw his face, much to his frustration the death of his only friend by Ali’s hand did not stop him from being attractive.  If anything it made him more so because it established him as dangerous. 

2. A headcannon regarding an argument the two characters have had in the ship: occasionally Ali realizes how dangerously out of touch with reality Lawrence is and attempt to tether him to it, causing friction that more often than not results in a fight

3. A sex related headcannon for the ship: Lawrence’s masochism rubs off (HA) on Ali a bit because he loves not using much lube/prep in general and clenching a lot to make sex more painful for him and that ends up hurting Ali to

4. A headcannon related to the ship’s favorite date location: Ali prefers oases and Lawrence likes the beach the most, they both like relaxing and beautiful locations where they can be alone together they just have different options on what’s the most beautiful  

5. A headcannon about cuddling in the ship: Lawrence loves sitting on Ali’s lap but he’s not as dainty as his pretty white robes make him feel sometimes and is like…. ridiculously tall/lanky so he usually ends up accidentally elbowing Ali or something

6. Another very random headcannon for the ship: A few times Lawrence asked to ride on the same horse as Ali, and at first Ali thought he meant he wanted to switch mounts rather then ride together.  The horse did not enjoy having two large riders, but they did.

7. A very fluffy related headcannon for the ship: The only part of western culture that Lawrence misses is vaudeville music, so as a surprise Ali arranged to get him a gramophone and some records.  Lawrence taught him to dance to the music, even though he’s not very good at it himself, and they had a great time dancing.

8. A headcannon about the ship that is not in anyway related to romance or sex:  They planned to properly adopt Daud and Farraj after the revolt, which they assumed would be successful.

[jacksonbently]

you know I was thinking and I figure I like Lawrence/Ali so much because it’s not just high romance but deeply Romantic (in the sense of the 18th century literary & artistic movement)

[jacksonbently]

if you and your special someone’s relationship is carrerized by powerful emotions partially awe and horror, a reverence for the beauty of the natrual world, thoughts on nationalism and God, a strong yet vauge sence of dread and regret on how events in the world are progressing, glorification of a heroic ideal

you got yourself a Romantic relationship

Ali: Aurens, my love, my sun and stars, I would die for you

Lawrence, fluttering heavily mascaraed eyelashes: who wouldn't?

[jacksonbently]

back from the dead to remind y'all aurence is - wife coded - ultimately kinda shit - much loved (by ali) - much loved (by me)

[sayitwithsarcophilus]

Would it be wrong to make Scarlett Johansson jokes about Alec Guinness?  On the one hand, he was a much-loved and talented actor and is now dead, so I feel kind of bad picking on him.  On the other, while Anthony Quinn’s casting as Auda can be attributed to the old Hollywood belief that all ethnic groups who weren’t from sub-Saharan Africa or northwestern Europe were interchangeable (Mr. Quinn was a Mexican guy who played everything from Crazy Horse to Attila the Hun to Totally Not Aristotle Onassis to Paul Gaugin), Alec Guinness was as white as Peter O’Toole.  

[jacksonbently]

well, he's much loved and respected actor, I'm sure he can take some ribbing given all the (deserved) praise he gets, and seems the type to take it good naturally if he where around to hear it :^)

[jacksonbently]

reminder if you like /l/a/w/r/e/n/c/e o/f/ a/r/a/b/i/a every single character from steven universe hates you

[sayitwithsarcophilus]

Well, I’m pretty sure Rose Quartz would hate that movie.  Not for Alec Guinness in brownface or what have you (I doubt pre-Greg Rose was tuned in enough to the nuances of human culture to have much sense of what was problematic).  But a story in which the protagonist runs off to a far-away land and reinvents themself as a dashing pseudo-messianic rebel leader with a new name and a dramatically flowing white dress - but ultimately can’t deliver their comrades the liberation they fought for OR run away from their own self-loathing - is not a story Rose wishes to consume, no matter the quality of the acting and scenery.

[jacksonbently]

oh i didnt seriously mean that i made this post after a weirdo with a steven universe icon kept reblogging my loa posts saying that, among other things, loa (and by extention me) is homophobic because there's a rape scene with a male victim... never did find out if they knew what was recorded in seven pillers on the subject, i blocked them because they ended up making a weird post about me masturbating ANYWAY there's a older post that became semi-famous for being easy to mock "reminder if you like /k/i/l/l/i/n/g/ /s/t/a/l/k/i/n/g/ every single character from steven universe hates you" and I was riffing off that but regardless, you're totally right, Rose would likely love the first half the first time she sees it, the second half not so much
