Careful Fear and Dead Devotion

"I have only two emotions careful fear and dead devotion and I can't get the balance right" The National - Don't Swallow the Cap 29 / INTP / 6w5 Tumblr killed the theme i had on here :/

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

feeling this old mitski tweet so hard lately

[aqua-cultured]

ok was rewatching the apothecary diaries again and noticed something crazy i haven't seen anyone talking about yet

so in the episode "the new pure consort" (s1ep14) loulan is introduced right, and the colors are really muted, like so:

in contrast, here's what a similar shot looks like in regular color

and here's what that same shot looks like when put through a red/green colorblind filter:

in fact, the only red and green we get during loulan's introduction are her eyes and accessories

anyway really cool detail i noticed and wanted to share cause i was losing my shit but my friends had never seen the show so i couldn't say anything lol

shipping a consensual, safe & sane pairing all the while i'm shaking my head in disapproval so the audience knows i still love wildly toxic abusive fictional dynamics

Finding out that another piece of my soul got into an oc of mine without realizing it like hey!!! spit that out!! do i have to put child safety locks on this fucking thing!!

There is no greater bond on this earth than when you all despise and carry untold righteous anger about one person and then when you’re all together someone is like “so about that dead horse” and everyone starts sounding like Michael Jackson with the way they’re chanting beat it

I'm working on something and halfway through shading I realised that this random layer that's 100% stand-in colours that I'll fix once I've got everything in order, is actually also pretty cool on its own.

[homunculus-argument]

This one, on the other hand, does not look good on its own.

It’s called ‘being able to see the corpse’

[burning-cathedrals-deactivated2]

So if I put you in an L-shaped swimming pool, and you knew there was a corpse around the corner, you'd be fine?

[mwagneto]

loving the implication that I'm a little animal and you're a scientist putting me into various bodies of water to test my corpse:water ratio tolerance

my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government

[rimonoroni2]

this is getting really popular so i’d like to add the important caveat that your criticism of a work is no more unassailable than the work itself. just as one is entitled to be critical of something someone else is entitled to disagree with that criticism. i add this because some of you pretend to give a fuck about thoughtful analysis and then when someone points out flaws in your argument you declare that all criticisms are valid. this is untrue. the status of a hater is no more sacred than that of a liker. get off your high horse and engage in the thoughtful discussion you pretend to believe in or perish by my blade
