i feel like im in the sims where it takes 5 hours to make pasta and then u have to immediately go to bed

[lizzibennet]

i just want to one day be loved like elle woods’ sorority sisters loved her

[lizzibennet]

they all simply do not understand why elle wants to go to harvard so bad... yet they help her study, grade her tests, motivate her and all around fully support her from the moment she decides to go and never stop believing in elle not for a single second... like wow name me one sweeter moment in all of cinema, i’ll wait

[lizzibennet]

sorry to be legally blonde blogging on main once again but i just wanted to talk about how easy it would’ve been to screw that movie up. the entire premise is based around a girl doing the most to get a guy, the main conflict of the film is the one between elle and viv, elle and her friends are stereotypical girly girls, etc - all that is just a perfect setup for a kind of passive aggressive lowkey misogynistic film that aims at actual feminist themes but falls short at #girlboss. but it doesn’t! while vivian is certainly catty to elle at first the insults aren’t sexist, vivian is just threatened but the confrontation is surprisingly and refreshingly... levelheaded? is the best way i can describe it. there is none of that one scene that a lot of 90’s movies seem to have where the two female protags have a fight where they insult each other’s appearance and then latch onto each other’s hair and yell bloody murder. ya know the one. there is none of that, none of the throwing around lowkey insults to women left and right, and in the end it works out quite beautifully because the only character we meet who is actually outright sexist is warner, which sets him up to be a gigantic asshole without having to have him like kill a kitten or something. it’s clever writing! and for a movie that came out in 2001 to toe that line between empowerment and sexism so well and come out the other side an enjoyable story with realistic women that does not fall under sexist tropes and stands the test of time is very admirable imo

anyway,

The thing is, what's happening in Palestine is extremely triggering to me. I was 8 years old when the U.S. invaded iraq in 2003. I was on the other side of the world as the death of my people in mass was paraded as a political tactic, was normalized and made mundane. My whole world fell apart. Nothing was the same. And even 20 years later, it affects every aspect of my life. In a lot of ways, my life will never not be ruled by the ghost of the war that haunted my very existence. And now, and now I'm watching in real time as that same propaganda, that same zeal for the death of Palestinians sweep up an entire nation, all dressed up in rhetoric of humanity, of stopping terrorism, of "has a right to defend itself". And the places and the people I once considered safe bare their teeth and snarl at any dissent, any objection. They look at you with suspicion. Will you condemn the terror? What a brutal reminder of my conditional citizenship to this country, my conditional belonging to this community. A brutal reminder that I will only ever truly be accepted, if I am palatable

ROMAN ROY + Wuthering Heights (ch. 16)

the poison drips through

[niknak79]

[odysseusyes]

even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk

[eatsleepcrap]

*straightens calculator*

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As ‘n’ is 4 (number of digits available). 4!/0! which becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three minutes to input all possible codes.

Kick the fucking door in

[the-brave-little-blogger]

well ‘technically’ the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people, when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad is obviously a few years old to put it nicely, thats most likley it.

some sherlock holmes shit just went down over here

[the-neon-pineapple]

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

Sherlock out.

[perks-of-being-chinese]

woah.

[panicrobot]

it got better

[twistedthicket1-deactivated2022]

and this is why the sherlock fandom could either rule the world or end it….

[ofthefantastic]

Close, but not quite, I think. People will almost always choose a number they can remember. What’s memorable about 0791? Try 0719 - a birthday, 19th of July. That is more likely.

[venatrix26]

Those deductions are great and all, but unnecessary.

The light is green.

Idk if I’ve rebloged this before, but I’ll reblog this legend again

[masterofhounds]

Smithsonian? I’ve found the quintessential Tumblr and Sherlock fandom post. Yes. I would consider it definitive.

[thornypeach3]

Ahh it’s back.

“And that’s why we have a John Watson”, indeed 😂

Legend of a post. 10/10 recommend reblogging.

THE POST OF LEGENDS HAS RESURFACED ON MY DASH

[wrxthswitch]

I’VE ONLY EVER SEEN THIS IN SCREENSHOTS OMG

On your dash? I dig for gold like this,,, by looking at my mutual pages.

[lindonleaves]

I’ve only seen this on Pinterest!

[pisshandkerchief-deactivated202]

*gasp* THE SACRED TEXTS!

Why did Tumblr stop doing stuff like this, it’s genuinely fascinating, and cute that we include our favorite media in things we do

[maximumsunshine]

Well. Since you asked. I was on tumblr as this post was being built in 2013. The height of superwholock. Which has, since then, been declared peak cringe. So people picked new fandoms to openly love in earnest. Which were also eventually declared cringe. Eventually the youth decided to cut out the middleman, and declared loving anything in earnest to be fully cringe. So it has been a really long time since the day to day users of tumblr have let any fandom create anything nearing the cultural phenomenon that was superwholock. And it is exactly those cultural phenomena that are needed to create posts like this.

So. What happened? Cringe culture happened.

Try and imagine what would happen if this post wasn’t the “sacred texts” only ever seen in screen shots and in pinterest. Try and imagine any current pop culture detective media fandom creating this post today. They’d be slaughtered for being cringe by the time (in this case) Sherlock was mentined.

But because this post is 10 years old and completely broke containment, it’s celebrated when it graces our dashes.

[atlinmerrick]

The cool thing to know about cringe is it need only bother the fools who say something’s cringe. LOVE YER FANDOM OUT LOUD.

Also for those scratching their heads, superwholock = Supernatural, Doctor Who, Sherlock.

And verily I say until you, those three were on absolute fire together a decade ago. Oooo, I miss the burning.

[maskeraith]

how woild do you do 7 + 48 ???

40 + 7 = 47, 47 +8 = 55

40 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 3

(24*2)+(5+2)

100-48-7 = 45, hence 100-45=48+7=55

7/11 + 48/11 = 5, so 5*11 = 55

3+4 = 7, 40 + 8= 48, 7+48 = 55

7^2=49, 48-40=8, -> 49+8=55

100+7 = 107 and 107 + 48 = 155 so 155 -100 is 55

another way

Every now and then I'm reminded Real People with Actual Jobs use tumblr and I've always been legitimately curious what all you weird adults are up to when you're not on this site and with tumblr's New Poll Feature I can finally get an answer! (or the closest approximation of an answer possible with only 10 available options h a)

What job do you currently have (or plan on having in the future)?

Deals With People (customer service of any kind, waiter, hospitality, etc.)

Professional Nerd (engineer, programmer, accountant, etc.)

Keeping Things Running (maintenance, janitorial, delivery, construction, etc.)

Never Left School (teacher, academic researcher, still a student, etc.)

What Kids Consider "Real" Jobs (lawyer, government agent, doctor, etc.)

Graphic Design Is My Actual Passion (designer, animator, artist, etc.)

Literal Backbone of Society (farmer, assembly operator, temp., chef, etc.)

Like And Subscribe!! (influencer, comedian, sales, marketing, performer, etc.)

Full Time Public Service Baby (firefighter, non-profit, social worker, etc.)

My Job Is Cool But Not Listed (slap that in the tags if it's fun)
