laptop overheating?? pour water on it to cool it down!
i trusted you
Do not trust people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people
THE ORIGINAL?!?!?!?!?!
YOU'RE A REGULAR WRITER! YOU CAN CRAFT A COMPLETE SENTENCE! YOU'RE A REGULAR WRITER! YOU USE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF COMMAS! YOU'RE A REGULAR WRITER! YOUR PROSE IS GOOD AND RIGHT! YOU'RE A REGULAR WRITER! EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS YOUR VISION!

Remember calming cat? Remember when tumblr was this color? If you don’t that’s fine. I just feel old and alone.
You’re never alone. There is always calming cat.

Thank you for bringing back calming cat, I had lost the previous bookmark for it!
it’s really so silly bc when I was a very sad teenager I dreamed of my adult life as this beautiful, easy thing where I dance in my kitchen and have game nights with my friends and I travel around to see the world and I create things left and right and I follow my heart and find a community that welcomes me readily as I embrace them
And then I grew up and it turns out the world is going to shit and there’s a class war everywhere and my livelihood is under constant threat because I wasn’t lucky enough to be born into generational wealth and climate change is coming fast and god, the powerful are so selfish and and and- and yet, I do still dance in my kitchen. Sometimes my cat asks to be picked up and I sway around in a made up waltz with her tucked into my arms. (This is one of her favorite activities)
I play card games and gossip and watch movies with my friends every few Saturdays even though we’re all overworked and exhausted. i create things in the pockets of time between sleep and work and sometimes I create while I’m at work and I race home to finish it with a childlike sort of excitement. I’ve seen very little of the world but it’s still more than most of my family has. and these things are still just as wonderful as I dreamed they’d be, it’s just that they’re grounded firmly in a reality that’s harder to thrive in.
it makes me sad, because I feel like a lot of people are grappling with how much more difficult it is these days to create a life you survived for. And it can feel sometimes like it was all for nothing- all that stubborn determination to stay alive and keep trying, keep going got us to a world on fire, with all the folks who could do anything about it shrugging and saying no, nothing can be done, it’s too late, it’s just how things are.
Except it isn’t. There will always be dancing, there will always be companionship, there will always be room for hope. It’s never useless to hope for a better life. It’s never useless to believe it can be.
My teenage self wasn’t wrong about that.
To raise your spirits!!
tbh im not entirely immune to a villain with a tragic backstory but i do think villain origins are a lot more interesting when the focus is less "here is the original sin, the first big bad thing that happened to them that made them who they are" and more "here is the first time a person who maybe otherwise felt powerless in their life realized that they could hurt someone and get away with it"
you can get a lot more mileage out of analyzing a truly abhorrent character through the lens of like. what sort of conditions would allow or even incentivize this kind of cruelty? what kind of person benefits from those conditions and how? over the more typical who hurt them type analysis. imo.

Redeemed villain who can’t let the speech pattern go
Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head.
Sometimes I wonder how many of the 90 thousand people who have interacted with this post have been like “I think I’ll go to OP’s blog and see what other lovely nuggets of wisdom they have” and then get hit with a wall of nothing but homoerotic drawings of the men from the Yakuza franchise.

Panel 1:
A frustrated artist with a big colorful thought bubble labeled INFINITE POTENTIAL over their head and a pencil in one hand hunches over a blank sheet of paper and asks, "How do I pack this down into sometime I can actually share?"
Panel 2:
The artist looks at a small grey box in their hands and asks incredulously, "All that work for THIS?!" Brow furrowed, they shove it off on a second person. "Here you go, I made this, it sucks."
Panel 3:
The recipient peeks into the small grey box and colorful light pours out onto them. Holding the open box, they look around in awe, surrounded by the colors of infinite potential the artist had originally imagined.]
I am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising
I am skipping your ads as fast as I can. I'm skipping past your sponsor read. I'm muting the tv. I'm muting the tab. If they get too annoying I will simply stop trying to watch.
If advertisers can use every manipulative trick in the book to get me to buy their product, I am fully within my rights to do everything I can on my end to make their job impossible
my rapline heart is so full of love 💛
its christmas eve and look whos on tumblr
all of us
Jesus also spent Christmas in a barn full of animals
my actual favorite scene in wake up dead man is the one where jud is on the phone with the woman from the construction company and she asks him to pray for her, the sudden turn from humor to complete seriousness without it feeling like a tonal whiplash is really really good
loved this scene, but i loved it even more too when i read some of the interviews rian johnson did about the writing (one, two)
The filmmaker turned to Catholic family members to facilitate a discussion with a few clergymen. "I'm very close to my aunt and uncle that live in Denver," he says. "They invited their priest and five other local Denver priests over. So I got to sit down with them and have an ask-me-anything dinner. It was pretty amazing, and a lot came out of that." Johnson recalls one particular takeaway from his sit-down with the priests. "It led to one of the most critical scenes in the movie, actually," he says. "I remember the priests telling me how when they go out during the day, they're always wearing the clerical collar, even when just getting groceries. And that means that when they're just trying to get their grapefruit at the store, a woman will come up to them and start sobbing that her husband is dying, or somebody will come up to them and start getting in their face and screaming at them." The filmmaker says that those revelations shaped a key scene in which Jud pauses his involvement in the investigation to attend to a parishioner in need. "The idea that they are on stage and of service to the world at all times as a priest, and there's no time off from that — that led directly to a pivotal scene halfway through the movie," Johnson says. "Jud is swept up in the gamified version of the murder mystery, and has kind of been led down Blanc's version of the us-against-them game. And he has a hard reset when something like that happens to him."
that the scenes only real whiplash feeling is one you would get in reality. that hes torn out of this chase hes got swept up into and been reminded of his position, his responsibility, and his own ethos. and that this is also grounded in the reality of living as a priest
as well one bit that struck me when watching it, which may not be fully true on a rewatch paying close attention, but it felt like the first time in the movie since he moved there that hes actually been able to act as a priest for someone. which is vital for him. not only is it bringing him back into the reality of reminding him of his position and his own morals and priorities but that hes reminded that the service he gives to others is actually wanted, needed. that even though the flock here hates him, theres still a world out there that appreciates and wants him and that he can serve in the way that aligns with what hes called to do. not only a wake up call but also a reminder and a promise of that, if he just hangs in there, he can be the priest hes worked to be. even if its just on the phone to strangers, he can still be of service and its worth sticking it out to be able to do that
jud duplenticy writes some fantastic lines in his account of the murder like "The darkness of that story was the bedrock of this place" or "Testing tolerances, tapping deep poisoned wells, hardening, binding with complicity" or "Because in the part of my soul that cannot lie to Christ, or myself, or you…" but he did also write "Young, dumb, and full of Christ" which doesn't necessarily undermine his skill as a storyteller or anything but what an insane thing that is to say to benoit at this point in the story
