This thread omg

[quasi-normalcy]

Conversation that Tumblr is not ready for:

A Vampire's fangs are also it's reproductive organs

[autumngracy]

I scrolled past that before realizing op was being literal and not just making some kind of weird joke

[plateauofmemories]

Oh please, "the penetration of the vampire's bite as metaphor for sexual penetration" is like, horny classic vampire symbolism 101 🙄 Taking this to the next level of "vampire bite as literal reproductive penetration" is a conversation Tumblr is thoroughly and uniquely prepared for and one that we will all severely regret very shortly

[gothiccharmschool]

Oh, I’m ready to be a spectator for this conversation. I’m ready. 

[dee-the-red-witch]

So, when a vampire doesn’t want to become a vaddy, they use a set of these, right?

[dee-the-red-witch]

Ah. Yes. My own accursed progeny of a post, back to haunt me once more. If only I'd used protection.

[mushroomiegay]

i need info but like... also maybe not?

Just so you know… There is no “the queen”. Why? 

There are so, so many queens.

They make up half of the human population.

We call them “women”. 

[asfgjfkgjnfkjgnkfjg]

And I am a loyal knight fighting for all of them. I slaughtered a dragon for women today, actually. Here’s a picture

the year is 2023, marie kondo holds j*ff b*zos by the skin on the back of his neck in front of a public gathering

“does this one spark joy?” she shouts at the restless audience, they boo in response

she snaps his spine like .5mm mechanical pencil lead and throws his lifeless corpse to the crowd, they cheer in response

[mewsicalmiss]

Please tell me this is our timeline

[catboycooter]

likes charge reblogs cast

[ashekirk]

So let me get this straight

1. Elon Musk buys Twitter

2. Elon Musk unbans Andrew Tate

3. Andrew Tate picks a fight with Greta Thunberg

4. Greta Thunberg ratios the shit out him

5. He gets mad and posts a video response

6. There's a Romanian pizza box in the video which twigs Romanian police of his location

7. He is raided and arrested for human trafficking

That is some fabulous fuck-around-find-out shit and a great end to the year.

I hope Stephen Hawking’s anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist politics aren’t erased from history, or obscured in our collective remembrance of him. 

[socialistexan]

They erased MLK, George Orwell, and Hellen Keller’s anti-capitalist positions, they’ll definitely do they same for Hawking.

Hell, most people outright ignored it while he was alive.

[socialistexan]

Thinking about it, the best comparison is Einstein.

Einstein was a great advocate for socialism, economic and racial justice, and higher education, but the neoliberal capitalist system has reduced his accomplishments to “e=mc^2” and sell his likeness on pop t-shirts.

[sun-through-the-trees]

Crazy that the shit that all the geniuses agree on tends to be similar and nobody acknowledges it

why did they ever even attempt to try and make another actor wear a white-blonde wig after orlando bloom in the lotr trilogy. don’t they understand that we peaked 20 years ago and everything else has looked like shit after that

[cosmicwar]

it’s about the texture it’s about the stray hairs it’s about the color dimension

[assessthatdress]

reasons for this:

lotr used really really REALLY good, custom-made wigs. we're talking full lace, hand-tied, human hair wigs.

a good wig like this takes expert skills and time to make and can cost thousands and THOUSANDS of $$. In a fantasy production where each of the main cast needs at least several wigs during the production due to styling needs, damage, continuity issues etc. the cost of those wigs $ can add up.

Most human hair for wigs comes from Asia and is bleached and then dyed to the desired end-color. Lifting black or nearly black hair to pale blond and then toning it causes a lot of damage to the hair - meaning that even if the end color is good, the hair can still look processed and "crunchy". This can stand out in a fantasy production where stuff like people's hair is supposed to look 'natural'.

Wigs can also look less natural if the texture of the hair doesn't match the person wearing it - LOTR used virgin northern european hair for their wigs (this is some of the most expensive $$ hair to source for wigmaking, especially in the lengths they needed), which means the texture is more "natural" for the (almost entirely) white cast, and tends to have more 'natural' dimension in tone and color as the hair underwent a lot less processing before it ended up on the actors.

Additionally, some wigs are synthetic, or a mix of human & synthetic hair, and while there are very nice synthetic wigs, it's very hard to give them those natural whispy flyaways stray hairs, and natural hairline that make a great wig seamless.

really all of these reasons can be summed up as: 💰 budget 💰 budget 💰 budget

tl;dr: Despite production budgets for big film & tv absolutely EXPLODING in the past 20+ years, that $ isn't being allocated to actual crafts & craftspeople.
