Part IX

[makewavesandwar]

Stardust is literally my favorite movie of all.

And if I forget to say it, it’s because I am dumb. Literally. Best movie of all time, and fantastic novel as well. Here are a few reason:

1. Captain. Shakespeare. Is. My. Spirit. Animal. He is so fabulous and maintains such a strong sense of self even when he has to repress it. And in the end we winks at Humphrey and Humphrey’s like “mmhmm I’d tap that skyrate” ahahahaha.

2. The name Yvaine. That is a lovely name. And she gets saved by a unicorn and blows up a witch by shining at her. Badass.

3. Septimus is cool. I like his ruthlessness. And all his dead brothers following him around. And then they’re all dead and just like “wtaf are we supposed to do now”.

4. The little man who guards the wall is the funniest goshdarn thing. And he carries his little chair away when he quits. Adorbs.

5. Una is so underappreciated. She locks the witch in the freakin’ wagon and drives it through the forest to save the true love of a son she never even got to know. Good for her.

6. Ben Barnes is young Dunstan. He’s serious eyecandy.

7. Arthur Weasley is a goat-turned-into-a-man. That alone is enough to make this a 5 star movie.

There are a zillion more reasons that I love it but seriously greatest movie. If you haven’t seen it I recommend it x238971489375904653489.

Reblog with how many you’ve read. (Thirty-one for me.)

I’m up to 34 now. How about you?

10 years ago today, the Doctor and Donna were reunited while investigating Adipose Industries in ‘Partners in Crime’! 

[earlploddington-deactivated2019]

this is still so fucking funny i’m sorry

[aro-as-in-straight-as-a]

the widnows scene was an unrehearsed improv done at 3 am, apparently all the script said was ‘they recognize each other’, (via aphony-cree)

[no-zaku-boy]

One of my favourite things about Letterkenny that I’ve never seen the show get praise for is the music. The people choosing the soundtrack know *exactly* what they’re doing.

[caslikescoffeeandfreckles]

Reasons you should watch letterkenny

The main character Wayne is delightful and funny and always ready to throw hands to protect his loved ones and many people read him as autistic and he’s awesome

Katy, another main character, is a bi icon

She was also kinda in a polyamorous relationship with hockey players and best friends Reilly and Jonesy

Reilly and Jonesy are the dumb jock archetype but they’re also very soft and always worried about being pc (they’re also totally codependent and low key dating each other and it’s fucking adorable)

Native characters played by actual native actors and they’re led by a woman named Tanis who is a badass and I love her

You haven’t lived until you hear Wayne talk to his dogs

They beat up nazis

The hicks fit a lot of rural stereotypes but they’re still progressive and respectful to women and other marginalized identities and that makes me happy

Everyone is kinda gay??? preachers, athletes, weird goth boys... hella queer

Super niche Canadian slang like I for real can’t understand a goddamn word they’re saying I need a fucking Canadian dictionary like what the fuck is a puppers?? What does ferda even mean???

you don’t hate winter, you hate living an atomized existence where you get up and go to your shitty job rather than sit inside under a fire with your kin telling stories, eating, and playing

Society: Go to work

Ancient instincts: if I go outside in the cold. I will die. Or a bear will eat me. I need to stay inside. Where there is most likely no bears.

[stereden]

More Rick O’Connell for @deadcatwithaflamethrower. because reasons

(Reasons being: he’s a dork and pretty to look at and that’s a nice thing to have on you dash)

[deadcatwithaflamethrower]

Also Rick is a lot smarter than he’s often given credit for, which makes for extra shiny.

fresh prince of bel air (1990-1996) truly was a gift

I want him to do this in drag.

3 Dogs Are Rebuilding Chilean Forests Once Devastated By Fire

The job to replant endless acres of forests seemed like a daunting endeavor. That is until three unusual workers took up the task. Six-year-old Das and her two daughters, Olivia and Summer are three Border Collies who have been trained to run through the damaged forests with special backpacks that release native plant seeds. Once they take root, these seeds will help regrow the destroyed area.   

A post shared by @balti_mom on Apr 16, 2017 at 6:51pm PDT

It turns out that Border Collies are an ideal breed for this specific type of job. Bounding through miles of forest terrain requires not only speed, intelligence, and endurance, but also a willingness to stay focused and not get distracted by wildlife. Border Collies were bred to herd sheep, so they’re not as likely to run after or hurt other animals in the forest.

This system is also more efficient than having people spread the seeds manually. These speedy canines can race through a forest and cover up to 18 miles a day. Humans, on the other hand, can only cover a few miles each day. These pups can scatter over 20 pounds of seeds, depending on the terrain. While robots or drones might be able to disperse seeds too, dogs aren’t as pricey to handle. Most importantly, they leave a lighter carbon footprint.

Francisca and Constanza put special backpacks on the dogs, fill them with native seeds and then it’s off to the races. Once the dogs have emptied out their bags, Francisca and Constanza give them plenty of treats, refill their bags, and release them again to dash around the destroyed forest, sprinkling more seeds in their wake. The end goal of all this, of course, is to restore the damaged ecosystem and have the wildlife return to the forests.
