"I asked chatgpt" ok well I asked Sherlock Holmes and I got a monologue that contained two tangents, four accidental insults, the answer to my question, and three homoerotic comments about his flatmate

“why do you still use tumblr?”

listen— i have to keep track of my hyper fixations somehow

Every time I think of male vs female gaze, I go back to the OG marvel movies

Who was suppose to draw female audiences in:

What actually did:

[lavender-luminarie]

yes, marvel. at least half the fangirls have fallen for your greasy-haired anti-heroes (bucky and loki) and then your adorkable idiot nerds (bob and peter p)

but hey it worked both ways honestly

melts into the floor

[lady--of--fandoms]

what?

When you come back after literally years and the first thing you see is that there is something going on in the supernatural fandom.

[crookedkingdom]

cannot stop thinking about "if soulmates do exist they're not found. they're made" and how much more wonderful a concept it is. you were not made to fit with someone else, you were made be yourself and it's up to you to choose who fits with you and how they fit. you get to wake up every day and choose to have the people you love the most belong with you and that makes it so much more meaningful than some random act of fate forcing you together

I know that Peter’s Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy technically has flaws but also....it doesn’t. It’s perfect.

[byjoveimbeinghumble]

‘Are these magic cloaks?’ asked Pippin, looking at them. with wonder.

‘I do not know what you mean by that,’ answered the leader of the Elves. ‘They are fair garments, and the web is good, for it was made in this land. They are Elvish robes certainly, if that is what you mean. Leaf and branch, water and stone: they have the hue and beauty of all these things under the twilight of Lorien that we love; for we put the thought of all that we love into all that we make.”

- Fellowship of the Ring, Chapter 8: Farewell to Lorien

This is how I think of Jackson’s movies. Yes, there are serious flaws - Gandalf’s de-powering, Gimli as comic relief, and Faramir, namely - but come on.

Remember when the guys making their chain mail invented a new method for quickly producing large amounts of it by hand? Remember Miranda Otto walking down the street, practicing sword positions? The guys who forged all of the swords - for leads and for extras? The men and women riders who volunteered to be riders of Rohan? The costume designers who designed the inside of Theoden’s armor (which no one would ever see) so beautifully that Bernard Hill said he felt like a king? The friendships between the cast, and their size doubles, and the stuntmen?

When they made that movie, they put all that they loved into all that they made.

#just hundreds of people who went ‘sure let me try this’ #and they made something breathtaking #and then they made it 12 more times in different sizes ( @byjoveimbeinghumble​ )

Wait tell me more about that chainmail thing

[byjoveimbeinghumble]

“Kaynemaile has worked tirelessly to perfect the material science behind beautiful architectural mesh, collaborating with architects and designers on projects that embolden urban environments with positive buildings. The company’s patented polycarbonate mesh, inspired by 2,000-year-old medieval chainmail, was initially created for the armor and weapons seen in the The Lord of The Rings movie trilogy and is now used on major architectural projects around the world.

“The film’s art director and Kaynemaile’s founder Kayne Horsham worked with his team to construct each garment from plastic plumbing tubes, coating them in pure silver. Once filming wrapped, Horsham dedicated himself to creating a change to the liquid state assembly process to mass produce the polycarbonate chainmail for architectural applications — products that were light, but strong enough to protect the interior or exterior of a building. Now an industry-leading manufacturer, Kaynemaile produces mesh for everything from small interior screens to large scale exterior façades. Their mesh is easy to install and can be custom created for specialized applications.”

Kaynemaile's patented mesh façade systems are incredibly lightweight and easy to install while bringing a bold look to any scale building.

They have literally started to use the technology of Motion Capture for Gollum. It has been done before, but this film marks the beginning of its popularity. Not to mention Andy Serkis, who went on to become one of the biggest advocates for the technology. He founded his own Motion Capture Studios and is one of the leading experts in this field. And it all started in an old white body suit somewhere in New Zealand.

2/6 of my favourite characters are now officially queer. Still waiting for the others to come out :)

[galanon1m]

fuck all romance except for that one queer coded ship that should have been canon because the characters are so obviously and painfully in love but the writers were too much of cowards to make it happen

[livrere-purple]

Sam: [walks into the kitchen wearing one of Bucky’s shirts]

Sarah: So you spent the night with Bucky, huh?

Sam, internally: Play dumb.

Sam: Who the hell is Bucky?

Bucky: [crying]

[the-mcu-is-amazing]

SumBucky shippers : ooh what if Disney isn’t homophobic for once and actually makes our ship canon!

Destiel shippers : yeah that’s what we thought—

[ambiguousdisorderken]

funny how dean and sam, for all their bravado and all the thick-skinned, merciless badass reputation preceding them in the hunting world, both ended up being the least badass half in their marriages. the winchesters are whipped, but happily so<3

[phantom-kiwi]

Happy Pride Month from the Avengers!! 🏳️‍🌈

[idatebucky]

if disney wants to queerbait me with sambucky I need them to do it right. I need them to make it destiel levels of queerbaiting. give me bucky confessing his gay love and then falling off a train again. do it.

[doctorprofessorsong]

I think it would have been deeply funny to watch Jack start school and to see how confused his teachers were with regard to his family.

Like the first day Cas picks him up and the teacher is like: cool, that's his Dad. Then Sam comes the next day and the teacher is like cool, he has two dads. Then Dean comes the next day and the teacher is like: ?????

So the teacher is all: so wait, are y'all poly? And Dean responds: gross, that's my brother. By the time Eileen shows up and introduces herself as Jack's stepmom, the teacher is like: whatever, I can't.

So the teacher finally asks and Cas is like: his mom died. And she is like, I'm sorry you lost her and Cas responds they weren't together because he is super gay and Jack's biological father is actually his dead brother.

So the teacher is finally like: okay. Got it. They came together as a family after a tragedy and that's pretty nice.

And then a blonde with an attitude shows up and introduces herself as Jack's sister and the teacher is like: I thought he was an only child and Claire responds: oh that's because I don't live with him. I live with my lesbian moms who adopted me after my mom died. The teacher is like: oh your mom was Kelly? And Claire says: lol, no. Cas is my biological Dad. And the poor teacher is like: what happened to super gay???

And then Aunt Charlie shows up and hits on her and she just decides to go with it.

hi psa: the second someone apologizes for being excited about something, that is the moment you start talking about it with 10x the enthusiasm because 100% guaranteed they have, at some point in their life, been shamed or told shut up or calm down about something that brought them joy and learned to apologize for taking up space and expressing themselves - learned to make themselves smaller- and that’s the absolute worst feeling in the whole world so please, the moment they apologize or say “I’ll shut up now”, you start talking about it for them, hype it up, encourage them to talk your ear off and participate in their excitement. We want their passion, we want their excitement, joy and love. We do not want to be stunted and bitter and angry like the ones who tried to stifle us, we want to foster and nurture the glow in their eyes and the sound of their voice speeding up with exhilaration

[darkshrimpemotions]

You think Dean ever just stops and looks around and goes “the fuck is my life?” With a bemused little grin on his face?

Like…he’s making breakfast for Cas and Jack and Sam and Eileen. Or he’s at Target helping Jack get school supplies. Or he finds a funny t-shirt that he impulse buys for Cas and Cas wears it. Or he’s mortifying Sam with his terrible sign language (”Don’t let him fool you, the first time he tried to sign to me he said ‘fuck you’ by mistake.”).

Or he’s just on a drive with his angel next to him, their hands curled together on the seat between them, no particular destination. Or he’s watching Cas try to get his hair to look just so without the help of angelic grace. Or he’s curled up on the couch with Cas watching a movie. Or they’re on a date. Or they go to lunch with Claire and Kaia.

And he just has a momentary out of body experience where he’s just looking around at his life like “how did I get here? How did I get to have all this?” And then he gets this soft little grin and Cas squeezes his hand to ground him because he knows Dean all too well after all these years, and they go back to whatever they were doing, but the smile lingers for a long time.

Yeah…yeah, I think so.

[sinnabonka]

you think cas ever just stops and looks around and goes “what is my life even” with a soft disbelieving smile on his face?

he catches dean and jack eating malt-o-meal marshmallow mateys or unicorn fruit loops right out of the box in front of the tv in the middle of the night. or he wears another t-shirt with what would appear to be a double-meaning hilarious catchphrase he still doesn’t get even after dean explains it to him. twice. or he spends hours driving from store to store looking for the best preset for sam and eileen, when they announce they are expecting. or dean teaches him to bake (it was doomed to fail, as for the most part all they do is giggle and kiss, so end up burning everything they could; cas has flour in his ears and a white handprint on his butt, which dean leaves there proudly and never mentions until they are back from the store with a substitute pie). or he watches claire, not quite his daughter, from a girl growing into a beautiful woman - a bit softer around the edges, a bit more open, but still a daredevil, still as stubborn as she is and still looking to dean after all these years. or he enter the kitchen and sees his whole family, his real family, both his kids, his man, his brother and his wife, laughing over breakfast. and there’s a vacant chair waiting for him and dean pulls it out with a sheepish smile.

and he just has a momentary out of body experience where he’s looking around at his life like “how did I get here? how did I, an angel older then the hills, the one with a crack in his chassis, get to have all this? what I’ve done to deserve it? how much longer am I allowed to have it?” and then, as if feeling his back tensing, dean runs his hand between his shoulder blades up the back of his neck, and pulls him in for a quick kiss. “you okay?” dean asks just with his eyes, the trick they’ve learned a while ago. and cas nods, realizing, that yes, yes, he is.

it’s a gift, you keep those, he thinks, letting his hand rest on dean’s thigh under the table.
