PSA: never discuss private affairs in your DMs, especially contraception and abortion. Social media moguls will absolutely sell you out to the government. There are already cases of people being charged based on evidence in their DMs.

[on-a-lucky-tide]

@thevaguestoffeeling You're absolutely right.

If you are part of a vulnerable group - LGBT+, ethnic minority, women, religious minority, teen, anyone - do not think they won't hand your DMs to a government looking to persecute you. Yes, including feckin' Tumblr.

[mothkisserx]

i figured this was common knowledge, but in case you don't know - NO social media messaging service like this is safe to discuss such things. i've heard signal is good and i know it has a great reputation, but never ever ever trust a company to not hand over your data and DMs in a heartbeat

I've been on a bit ob a Russell Crowe movie binge in the past few weeks and since he is almost sixty now, many of the movies I've watched were consequently older movies. and when I watched them, it struck me again, how much hollywood has changed in the last few decades when it comes to depicting men.

take Gladiator for example from the year 2000. Russell Crowe plays basically an action hero in it. he is a big, muscly dude, who is very strong and uses that strength to defeat his enemies. and this is what he looks like:

looks like a strong man, right?

in the same year, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine looked like this in the first X-men movie:

in 2013 the same character played by the same actor looked like this:

it's a bit much, isn't it? I mean, he looks so skinny.

and if we go even further back: look at what the womanizer character Face from the A-team looked like in the 80s show vs the 2010 movie reboot:

maybe the difference isn't that big but it really startled me when I watched that movie for the first time. in my mind there was no reason why Face should be particularly muscular since he is the charming one not the one known for being particularly strong.

if we go even further back, look at the charmin womanizer character Hawkeye in M*A*S*H from the 70's.

I know he's a doctor and there is no reason for him to be ripped but I got the feeling if they did the show now, he would be.

I don't know what my point really is I'm just saying I got a bit nostalgic when watching these men. I cannot be the only one who'd rather see more of this:

than this:

also, as a sidenote: Russell Crowe gained a lot of weight for the nice guys and he is a fucking powerhouse in that film, like, when he punches someone, you really feel it because of the weight that is behind it and the shere mass of his body.

(even if this may look different, he's about to break Ryan Gosling's character's arm. I couldn't find a gif of him punching someone but I swear it looks painfull as hell.)

so, in short: can we get big, heavy action guys back? cause I'm tired of seeing these skinny, despite being muscular dudes who look dehydrated as hell and on steroids.

and can we stop making characters ripped just for the sake of it? cause I'd rather cuddle with a guy looking like Hawkeye than one looking like Face from the new A-team movie.

It's really important to note that this isn't real. Multiple actors have come out and said in order to get these shots they have to go through periods of severe dehydration, extreme multi-hour work-outs, and quite often, use drugs. This is an artificial look, created in an artificial environment. It causes people real harm to try to replicate it.

im gonna be honest i think the "adrien being a sentimonster was randomly thrown in season 4 with no planning on the writers' part" theory is really funny. like the writers of this show are just so bad at their job and so stupid that they tripped and fell in season 1 episode mr pigeon and accidentally spilled "a strange relationship to feathers" all over adrien by accident. they stubbed their toe on the coffee table and accidentally set up a mystery surrounding emilie's relationship to a feathery miraculous in season 1 volpina before we even knew what its powers were. then they spilled coffee all over their favorite shirts and at the same time spilled more white feathers around adrien in season 2 episode gorizilla. while writing the same episode someone had a really nasty sneeze and got boogers all over the script that said "use the imagery of two twin rings intertwined as the opener for the film of adrien's dead mother". they forgot to look both ways before crossing the street while writing the season 2 finale and were struck by a truck labeled "the peacock miraculous gives life" and then by a second truck with the license plate "it does so using white feathers identical to the white feathers that surround adrien in his ads" at the same time. they plummeted down an open manhole and hit the ground with a loud whack that sounded like "sentimonsters like bugette are just as real as any human..... and isn't bugette so...... perfect?" in season 3. on their way to the hospital they slipped on ice that had frozen in such a way to perfectly resemble the sentence "the word 'perfect' is consistently used throughout the series and by the creator ominously to denote how characters like adrien and kagami are 'different from everyone else', ever since season 1 episode simon says". during season 3 someone on the team got food poisoning and when they threw up felix came out instead and started another whacky series of comedic errors. the answer to the mystery of "how and why did emilie die? what life did adrien's loving mother create that she was willing to die for?" was originally gonna be "idk maybe she just exploded or somehting" probably, but then there was a really painful rock in one of the writers' shoes while walking to work that put them in a mood so bad that they forgot their original plan and instead made some bullshit up that somehow ended up being something that made sense with what we knew and put all the puzzle pieces together and actually made the show even more interesting and impactful on a rewatch because it put a lot of shots that at the time seemed random into a new and logical perspective as clear foreshadowing. it's actually impressive how stupid these silly clown writers are that they put strangely specific things so consistently throughout the entire series that resembled foreshadowing while never actually having intended it a single time! like........... really.......... really impressive............... i think..............

the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire

icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down

cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated

[sherbertilluminated]

Promethean task: opposite of a Cassandraean task. You have the right information, and SOMEONE has to share it. But it's all in the delivery and if you're the person to identify the problem you WILL be hated forever.

[thearrogantemu]

Oedipal Task: (1) Attempting to avoid an unspeakably awful outcome and in doing so creating the circumstances that will bring it about. (2) Trying to solve an problem and discovering that you are in fact the problem you are trying to solve.

[theoppositeofprofound]

Odyssean task: you’ll complete it but it’ll take 20 times longer than it should and involve multiple side quests and mini-adventures

[lierdumoa]

Pandorean task: some people fucked around and now it's your job to make sure they find out

I made this AU a while back but-

SO IT GOES LIKE THIS

They all basically keep their same personalities cuz their personalities are so much better than the ones in Miraculous. Tobey’s still standoffish and rude, a big flirt as Chat Noir, Becky ISNT clumsy quirky and unique and not a Mary Sue, Mr Big is still a himbo, Leslie is still Leslie, and Victoria as Chloe actually gets a bloody redemption arc!!! Tikki has a bit of an Angie from Resident Evil personality cuz I think that would be funny, but Plaggs the same. Tobecky as adrienette, they don’t like each other. They’re still rivals. (I think the show would be so much better like that ngl)

These are not my words, one of my closest friends said this to me when I was exhausted and having a difficult time continuing to do things. It was exactly what I needed right then, so now I will share it and hope it can help someone else.

Now I’m thinking about Carlotta and how, depending the adaptation, she was either very much the diva, a downright manipulative and toxic horror, or simply past her vocal prime, but honestly, can you blame her for being up in arms about this scrappy little chorus girl suddenly and suspiciously supplanting her hard-earned place as the lead soprano? 

I mean, geez, how furious would you be if you worked for years and fought tooth and nail to get to the top and then all of a sudden Christine WHO??? is now taking the roles you busted your butt for, JUST when there’s a new, handsome patron who, if the gossip is to be believed, is intimately acquainted with Christine What’s-Her-Name?

It looks incredibly suspicious and underhanded from Carlotta’s perspective. And on top of that, she’d been getting literal death threats for months and pieces of scenery were actively trying to crush her during rehearsal.

Like. Would you not file a complaint? Maybe Carlotta’s not at her vocal best because, I don’t know, she’s a little bit stressed about constantly almost dying, Erik.

And how do you think Christine feels? “Oh, my God, I just wanted some free singing lessons and a sexual awakening, what do you mean Carlotta is ‘sick’ and everyone is dying and/or injured so now I have all the lead roles? I want to sing but NOT LIKE THAT.”

And y’all know I adore Madame Giry in musical canon but she’s as complicit as Erik by keeping her mouth shut and just letting it all happen. 

I know she has her REASONS. I KNOW. I AM UPSET ABOUT HIS TRAGIC BACKSTORY, TOO. 

But girl. GURL.

What if, in the fic I’ve always wanted to write but can never seem to get down on paper, Christine and Carlotta aren’t Women Pitted Against Each Other but instead, they have a measured conversation about all of Erik’s Bullshit™? 

What if, shrewd older woman that she is, Carlotta’s wise to the fact that it’s probably the Phantom pulling all the strings, and she’s like, “Do you KNOW how hard I’ve worked to get this far? Do you KNOW how hard it is to be a woman in 1881, full-stop, but ESPECIALLY a career woman?”

And Christine’s like, “I feel you; I, too, would like some autonomy and legitimately just wanted to participate in the glory of live theater, but the misanthrope in the basement got horny and took advantage of my naiveté and I do not want this.”

And then Carlotta genuinely starts to feel for Christine, who is really quite alone in the world and whose talent reminds Carlotta of her own when she was younger.

And Christine starts to respect Carlotta because she’s been put through the ringer as a career woman in 1881 and also terrorized by the misanthrope in the basement.

And Christine apologizes for immediately assuming Carlotta was a shrew who got what she deserved, and Carlotta apologizes for immediately assuming Christine slept her way to the top, which, like, honestly, no judgment, sexual liberation is important, but we’re still in the 19th century, so we’ll keep that convo on the down-low.

And then the two of them march into Erik’s lair, and Carlotta REAMS into him, because nobody, least of all ugly Dracula, is going to supernaturally terrorize Carlotta into doing ANYTHING, damn it, she is 40 years old and has not gotten this far only to be bullied by a circa-2005 walking Hot Topic window display.

And, then, supported by Carlotta, Christine reams into Erik for manipulating her and generally acting like a skeevy creep– cool motive, still murder, and all that, “We understand and sympathize deeply with the horrible life you’ve led; compassion is in short supply in this, the new Industrial Age, but holy shit, you can’t go around behaving like that, how dare you?”

And Erik sits there, slack-jawed and at a loss for words for the first time in his life as Christine and Carlotta go have a girls’ night with Meg and a very repentant Madame Giry, the end.

Tl;dr Carlotta could very well be a strong, independent career woman ahead of her time and maybe the Phantom of the Opera is actually a horrible, terrible, no-good, very bad man.
