I’m not gonna watch this for more than an hour 😍😍😍😍

Why do we wrap the wee one like they’re a burrito?

It’s a good way to keep them warm at night without them getting wrapped up in blankets (can lead to accidental suffocation) and also assures that they won’t scratch their little face in their sleep! Plus they tend to enjoy being wrapped up or swaddled, it makes them feel safe and calm!

Some of you haven’t stayed up reading until 4 am because you literally couldn’t put down your book until it was finished even though you needed to be up early the next day and it shows

look…………….. write as much shitty fic as you want. nobody can stop you. you’re learning constantly and it’s better to write hackneyed implausible ridiculousness than it is to not write at all out of fear of fucking up. you’re good

There was an experiment a professor did. I think it was pottery students. He did an experiment of “quality” vs “quantity”. One half of the class he told; you have to make as many pots as possible. Good pots, bad pots, shitty pots, whatever. The more pots you make, the higher your grade.

The other half of the class were told, “you can make only one pot”. But that pot had to be perfect. The quality had to be high; the highest quality pot would get the best mark.

But when it came to the grading, they noticed something weird.

All the best quality pots were in the ‘quantity’ group.

The guys who were literally churning out pots, trying to make as many as possible, not concentrating on the quality. But every pot they made, made them better at making pots. By the end of the month (I think it was a month) - they had some pretty awesome pots coming out, because they enjoying finding all the ways and all the things they could do to make all their pots. Where as the ‘quality’ guys had spent their time reading up on pots, and technique, and researching and planning; which was all great but they’d had no further practice at actually making pots.

The best way to get really good at something, the only way to be really good at something, is to make lots of shitty attempts at that thing several of which will fail. If all you create are perfect things then you won’t improve, because how can you improve on perfect?

tl:dr MAKE YOUR SHITTY POTS.

Hot take but sign language should be taught in schools as a language option and all cinemas should provide subtitles on all their movie screenings

Yes.

The razor I use to hold open the shower door when taking a bath, the razor I use to shave my legs.... “women’s” razor vs “men’s” razor. Well at least I found a use for the pink one.

Things I love about Coco

”Santa Cecilia” is the patron saint of music.

“El Camino a Casa,” the name of the movie with the poison, means “the way home.”

“Dante” is the name of a writer who took a guided tour of the afterlife.

The movie begins with a suckass hypersanitized cover of what is still clearly a great song and ends with it performed properly. (Rent tried and failed to do this.)

We first meet Dante at the edge of a table showing carved alebrijes. He was the next one in line.

In the beginning, Coco asks her daughter “Who are you?” After Miguel sings the song, she calls her by name. That’s why she cries.

Miguel’s dad tries to stop the grandmother from smashing the guitar.

Los Chachalacos and the living mariachi are both kind and supportive without being too familiar.

“How many times must I turn you away?” Hector tried to come home, more than once.

Imelda rejected music because it broke up her family and so did Hector for the exact same reason.

The second Hector finds out Miguel has family, he insists on taking him to them even if that means messing up his plan.

“I can’t forgive you, but I will help you.”

The entire character of Ernesto. They never made him too obvious. He is perfectly thrilled to meet Miguel and publicly bless him as a descendant right up until he has a reason not to. Nothing he does in showing Miguel off couldn’t be the genuine pride of a new grandpa. Why do people love his music so much? Because while a bit of a ham he is actually good. Why won’t he toss Hector a bone and let him be remembered? Because if Hector is forgotten, Ernesto’s secret is safe. Why is he so stupid as to put the poisoning scene in one of his movies? Because he is unoriginal; that is why he needed Hector.

Fictive kin. Hector makes the best of a terrible afterlife by being kind and making the best new family that he can.

Cheech piles his hammock with “beloved” objects because he’s going to die with nothing but junk, and he knows it.

“A minute ago I thought I was related to a murderer!” The fact that Hector is moral and decent makes him better than Ernesto, period, and Miguel sees it even though the universe rewards fame and not morality.

We are WATCHING MIGUEL TURN INTO A SKELETON but he’s so upset about Hector that he doesn’t notice. It’s a double death scene.

The whole story was necessary. If Hector had figured out who Miguel was in act I, he’d have gotten his photo on the ofrenda and made it to the living world just in time to dissolve in Coco’s arms as she forgot him.

…and he would have been fine with that.

This always kills me 😂 my sweet baby sister featured on the right.

financial goals: bathtub that’s deep enough for me to be 100% fully submerged; preferably one of those triangle corner ones. Also maybe being debt free but the tub comes first

“they can say whatever the hell they want I don’t care I’ll say ‘fuck you’”

“did you just flip the bird at us?”

“I did flip the bird, yeah”

“but did you flip it at US?”

“yo bruh if this starts a fight how easily can I get out of trouble”

“not very”

“So like I flipped the bird but it TOTALLY wasn’t at you”

I will continue to call The Creature “Frankenstein” and no force in Heaven or Earth will impede that.

I also laughed at him totally deliberately calling attention to the fact Victor isn’t a real doctor because he dropped out of college and built a guy out of corpses
