Crying over Bucky Barnes

Archaeologist turned museum worker turned library worker. Cat lady. I don't even know what this is any more. I have another blog, travelswithmyastromech.tumblr.com, where I post peculiar little photos of Star Wars figures. Everyone needs a hobby.

Heated Rivalry is amazing as a forbidden romance simply because the one character who really tries to say “You’re not to see that boy again. I forbid it.” is in fact not anyone’s parent but rather the wholeass Commissioner of the NHL

Older Generations Share Discontinued Snacks They Still Crave To This Day

[delgrosso]

Affordable housing? A reliable social safety net? Funded public television? Livable wages? Life before influencer culture? Products without AI jammed into them?

Yeah, I do crave some things that don’t exist anymore.

“Festival prayer book for Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) and Sukkot (Feast of the Tabernacles), German rite (aka the ‘Tripartite Mahzor’ ) including biblical readings: The Book of Ruth and the Book of Ecclesiastes with Joseph Kara’s commentary” by Joseph Kara, Germany ca. 1322 via The British Library, Public Domain

just. please know. that giffing scenes like that is a fucking nightmare labor of love.

to wit:

bottom's the raw capture, middle's just flat curve correction to make the footage visible, top is the final coloring with /counts seven adjustment layers to add back in Literally Anything But Yellow

every giffer i know does it out of love for the game, but for the record it's not... easy. it's not just slapping the footage in a cap grabber and posting whatever it spits out. "professional" lighting and color grading has only gotten waaay murkier and flatter in the fifteen years i've been giffing on here, so uh. don't repost gifs, please!

[infiniteeight8]

I thought the bottom was a black bar. I didn't even realize that was footage.

Everyone say thank you to your neighbourhood GIF maker! Giffers are so important to the fannish ecosystem, but to so many people the amount of work involved invisible.

Does this summer heat make you feel like a greater naked bat (Cheiromeles torquatus)? Glands in its neck produce unpleasant-smelling, oily secretions—the scent of which has been compared to “stale socks drenched in engine oil.” Also known as the naked bulldog bat, this mostly hairless mammal can be found in parts of Southeast Asia, including Sumatra, Java, Borneo, and the Philippines. It typically lives in large groups, and colonies of up to 20,000 individuals have been observed.

To the bold ff.net user in 2013 who tried to write Moby-Dick from the whale’s perspective, please get back here you were cooking

[miliabyntite]

[polarcell]

I was just talking with a friend who hates cooking which is so wild to me bc I love cooking so much it is hard for me to understand people that don't like it, but i know many exist. my parents don't like cooking either, but my grandmothers both do, so i feel like it jumped a generation for us. and then i also wonder how much of it is learned and how much not. so! poll time

do you like cooking and were you taught to cook by your family?

i like cooking & i was taught

i feel neutral & i was taught

i don't like it & i was taught

i like it & i was not taught

i feel neutral & i was not taught

i dislike it & i was not taught

all i want for 2026 is that gigantic rancid AI bubble to finally burst in such a catastrophic way that the consequences will be so good and i'll never have to see another AI generated image ever again

[gloriousbodies]

@oyavaski​ i think the funniest part of this is you thinking that this is fake because.....some of us are the same age and we have normal tumblr names i guess lmao????

[handweavers]

never thought i'd get accused of faking having a mice infestation for tumblr clout and yet here we are

[eldriitchmurmurs]

they should make a version of socializing that doesn’t make you feel like you’re still the weird 12 year old kid that doesn’t know why she’s not normal like the other kids

[tarragonthedragon]

i love that star wars comic where padmé's surviving handmaidens hold a last stand against vader but honestly if i were them i would have dedicated the rest of my life to the most comprehensive and inescapable fake haunting in the history of the galaxy. man should not be allowed two successive heartbeats without seeing his dead wife's face gazing soulfully at him across the room and slipping away before anyone sees. literally what else is the point of being a highly trained operative capable of perfectly imitating your best friend if not to torment her husband for decades after she's gone.

the kale fad was made up by a lady who pretended to be paid to do it. but she actually just liked kale

[brokeshibe]

This is exactly the kind of thing I expect from people who eat kale recreationally
