So I Guess I’m Blogging

Mostly a lurker, she/her. It does need to be said— if I follow you and then unfollow you nothing personal is meant, I have no idea how I keep accidentally following all these blogs. Super sorry.

not me posting propaganda in the 11th hour

There's not much I can say about Fat Horse, other than this fandragon being the only one of mine I spent significant time breeding for the correct colors.

As for the horse itself, this character appeared so briefly that it doesn't even have a name. I don't have so much to say about it as I do the cartoon it's from.

What's Opera, Doc? is a Looney Toons cartoon that premiered in 1957. Featuring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd feuding while singing in operatic style, this cartoon took significantly more time and work than other cartoons being produced by Warner Brothers at the time. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest cartoons of all time.

If you have seven minutes to spare, highly recommend giving it a watch, especially if you've never seen it before.

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

so true there could be any number of undiscovered species down there all of which are none of my business and never will be. peace and love on (the surface of) planet earth 💕

I haven’t even seen this movie but I need you to see this Letterboxd review of The Housemaid - the discord server I’m in and I have been losing our minds over it

[boppinrobin]

A Letterboxd review of The Housemaid (2025) by Ali Three Stars

This review may contain spoilers. 

stop calling this movie "twisty." the twist is that rich people are evil pervert. that is not a twist. that is information. 

personally this would never happen to me because i would simply use my Eyes and Ears to detect the evil house and then leave. "but she needed the job" i don’t care. i will become a different person with a different job. i will move to the woods and eat bugs. i am not sleeping in the punishment attic. i am build different. i have what scientists call "a sense of danger." i see a room that locks from the outside and i say "no thank you i choose life." send me to jail. send me to the Ocean. i dont care. i am not entering the bad room. "but she was desperate" ok well i would simply become Not desperate.

Rich people in these movies are always saying things like "would you like a tour of the house" and then they show you a hallway that goes the wrong direction and a staircase to nowhere and a room thats just Teeth and you were supposed to nod n smile like it's normal. "this is the east wing" the east wing is making loud Torture noises. "we dont go in there" ok cool thanks for the heads up. "the previous maid loved it here" where is the previous made now nina. "around." around Where. i am going to get back in my car now.

"Wait let me show you where youd be sleeping." it is an attic that locks from the outside. there are scratch marks on the door. the window is painted shut. "we just really value your privacy" i do not think that is what this is. "the last girl loved it up here" where is she now. "she left." through the painted shut window? "she found a way." why is there a bucket in the corner. "that’s for. storage." storage of What. it was nice to meet you nina i am leaving now in my car. she would say "but the salary" and i would already be gone. i would be a cloud of dust in the shape of a person who is not staying in the maid cage. i dont care if u r offering me one hundred bajillion million dollars i am not sleeping in the people crate. "its totally normal" i do not think so. Are you sure thats how doors work? you sure the maid bedroom is supposed to lock the maid inside? because i asked the guy at the home depot and he said you are Pervert.

"dont you want to see the basement?" absolutely not. "its a wine cellar" i am sure it is. i am sure you have many wines down there. i am sure nothing else is down there. i am sure if i went down there i would come back up. i am sure of that. you are nodding too much. you are nodding like a person who has a secret basement thing going on. i am not going to be the next wine. "and this is a spiral staircase" it goes down like 900 feet. "its italian marble." great. "andrew designed it himself." did he. it looks like a place where something bad would happen. it looks specifically designed for someone to fall down. "its perfectly safe." it is not. i am an adult. i can see a murder staircase when i see one. "would you like to stand at the top." i would not. "the view is lovely." the view of what. the view of the Floor? from Fatally High Up? i will pass. Thank You
