All hope is lost so quickly I can’t stop laughing.

danish tv is the best thing ever

“Okay :(”

[thranduilland]

He went straight to Acceptance. He didn’t even go through the five stages of grief. He just started at Acceptance.

[standarddrake]

I can translate for anyone wondering what he’s saying. The dialogue roughly goes something like

“Hopefully the owner of the car behind me will next time consider if-oh shit. Okay.”

[titenoute]

thanks for the context omg

(… but also: @petermorwood knows I’ve been rereading American Gods, and he glanced over my shoulder at this and said, “Somebody needs to check the boot of that car…”)

I don't know if this is a hot take? But there's something that bugs me about a lot of Batman performances: the dichotomy of his Bruce and Batman voices.

Now, hear me out. Batman absolutely should have a completely different voice from Bruce. Bruce is neurotic enough to develop two completely different idiolects for his identities. Anything to throw people off the scent, right?

However! Actors usually make the choice for Bruce to be the "natural" voice and Batman to be some sort of growling affectation. I personally think it would be better for Bruce to be the fake sounding voice and Batman to be his more natural speaking voice.

Imagine, Batman with a naturally deep and resonant voice that carries a lot of authority but very little emotion. Meanwhile, Bruce's voice is very Mid-Atlantic old money playboy with an almost breathy, ditzy quality. It's all emotion! No thoughts! Just enthusiasm and good natured smiles!

This is absolutely coming straight out of my "Bruce is neurodivergent" HC. A lot of us have a natural speaking voice that sounds off to others and a performative "public" voice that we've learned to use with people we don't know very well to put them more at ease. So, it's completely possible for Bruce's natural speaking voice to be a bit more flat and his words to be more fact based in a way that would make neurotypical people nervous. And, being Bruce, he would have absolutely studied other people's voice and behavior so that he could mimic it in public.

However, masking like that is very brain resource intensive, so it would have been an easy choice to drop that for Batman. This would also mean that in private, when it's just him and the family, he also uses the "Batman" voice because that's just what he sounds like when he's not trying.

This would also lead to hilarity when Bruce does crack jokes or tease people by intentionally using his Brucie voice when they're not expecting it. Like, imagine Batman, looking Flash straight in the eye as he shows up late to a team meeting FUCKING AGAIN, and saying, "You know, old chap, for The Fastest Man Alive, you certainly know how to take your dear sweet time." IMAGINE!

TLDR: Batman is the real voice and Bruce is fake and it kind of bugs me when actors do the opposite.

Bottle rocket under ice

[overtheunderpass]

rad 

[edwardspoonhands]

I’m pretty sure that the reason the ice fractured into six slices is the same reason snowflakes are often six sided and it has to do with the shape of a molecule of water and I just think that’s so freaking cool.

[opulene-archive]

How would it even stay lit though?

[orangejuiceaholic-deactivated20]

!!!!! it IS actually because of the structure of water molecules! Water molecules are fuckin weird, as are lots of other liquid substance molecules, because theyre shaped like fuckin HEXAGONS! hexagons are those weird, six-sided shapes that re very sturdy, but they dont tend to sit very well when stacked together. thats why, when you fill up a glass of water to its full capacity, it can go OVER the brim a little and not spill over. It’s also why water beads.

anyway, so since water is essentially made up of a gazillion little hexagons, it tends to gather into larger hexagons as it shapes together. this is not visible unless the water is in a solid form, aka ice. when the water is split, it tends to crack around the established hexagons. that bottle rocket exploded in the PERFECT place to show this phenomenon and its geeking me out.

ALSO! the bottle rocket stays lit because the fuse was definitely waterproof and made with magnesium and an oxidizer of some sort. this means that they will burn underwater because they dont need the oxygen from the air to stay lit. thats so fucking weird isnt it. im tipsy and its the 4th of july. sorry for the science haha

[inside-us-only-stars]

Don’t you dare apologize for science

Andor might just be my new favorite installment of Star Wars. Easily the most well-acted piece of Star Wars by far. I want to see nominations for Diego, Stellan, and Andy come awards season.

[bramblepatch]

um excuse me Jack not only may but must go this hard

[ageisia]

I love the moment where the band is like “oh, yeah, let’s pick this up!”

[thecyndimistuff]

Andor is so SO good it makes me wanna throw up with how actually-unwell it makes me.

It’s so intense how much loathing I as a woman of color can feel for Dedra as someone whose interacted/witnessed too many white women who use their own discrimination to internally-justify their oppression of others. The utter disgust in her expression as she glares down at Bix just cuts so deeply on an emotional level it evokes an unwell anger in the pit of my stomach. Because people like her don’t see people like us as human.

AND YET in the SAME EPISODE I can instantly feel sick to my stomach FOR Dedra with the utter freaked-out rage and fear radiating from her as Syril Karn grabs her arm in an iron grip and pours out his devotion. A visceral fear I have also felt on multiple occasions.

GOD this show is so good it’s not excusing her AT ALL or painting her as a victim in the slightest. But for one brief, mortifying second, you feel what she feels.

[clonehub]

thats that like. thats the intersection of various privileges and marginalizations at play and its so insane to see it so well written and played out. i want dedra to suffer but id never wish a man’s fanatic and unhealthy stalking approaches on ANYONE. her putting up that aggressive front but then being in her office shaking? ive been there.

have you noticed how karn has probably done so much and yet he has the least to lose? he has nothing at stake. he’s an office work. his tie counts as a clip on. he got away with harassing a very important member of the ISB, he got away with blowing up a town and getting several cops killed, etc. he’s nepotismed his way here and so far he has received more rewards than punishment. i dont think karn respects women in general hmmm

(sorry to go off on a tangent)
