please god watch this right now
rewatched the entire PoTC trilogy on an international flight and I can't believe I forgot how funny it is.
Barbossa is the most exasperated character in any scene he's in, unless he's winning. then he's the smuggest son of a bitch on screen (he literally returns from the dead smugly eating an apple). but majority of the time, he's 'why am I the only adult here'. man rolls his eyes so much I half-expected him to turn straight to the camera.
when Will asks Elizabeth to marry him while they are fighting Davy Jones' crew, stuck in a maelstrom, and trapped in the final battle, the first word out of her mouth is "Barbossa!". she then continues by asking Barbossa to marry them, but for a split second Will's face goes like 'Barbossa? Barbossa?? I didn't even know he was on the map of this convoluted love quadrangle!'
when they're in Singapore and Sao Feng threatens the spy he found and Will, Elizabeth, and Barbossa all look at each other to confirm that none of them have snuck in a spy they forgot to tell the others about, before shrugging and telling Sao Feng to go ahead and kill him.
Barbossa's eyes just getting wide and wider the more weapons Elizabeth pulls out of her clothes. c'mon man, let a woman have her toys!
rewatching really gives you the full picture of how many people are scheming at any given time and how each person's schemes intersect with the others, even if they're nominally on the same side. everyone also gets So Upset when their scheme is foiled, accidentally or intentionally, by someone else's scheme, as though they themselves aren't scheming at that very moment.
Barbossa's iron balls. I'm sorry, this is the funniest dick joke in the trilogy that defines how many dick jokes Disney can stick in a movie before it stops being PG-13. Jack's reaction really says it all.
rereading this list I see it's quite heavily tilted in favor of Barbossa which I now realize is because I empathize with Barbossa way more than I did as a kid. I too am frustrated to be surrounded by idiots while I'm the only adult around. man just wants to eat his apple in peace goddammit. so he did a little mutiny and maybe some more murder and mayhem and also maybe unleashed a pagan god upon the world. the guy really likes his apples, is that a crime?!?
btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here
i don't care if monday's bleak
tuesday matches wednesday's freak
thursday mispronouncing steak
it's friday, i'm in love
Look, they got away with it. Big surprise, you know? People are stupid. But they're not that stupid. The point is five years tops, we're all driving electric cars from Japan, anyway. Mark my words.

this is your random reminder to CHECK IF YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN
are you enjoying scrolling tumblr? watching youtube? reading that book? playing that game? drawing that art? doing that activity? if not,
YOU CAN STOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE
you don't have to stick to something that you are doing for fun if it isn't fun for you anymore. You can come back! If you've loved it before you are likely to love it again! but you can stop!
Don't get stuck in a loop of doing something that you think should be fun when it isn't! You can put it down for a bit! Maybe that's the very thing that will make it fun again later!
when you think about it fanfiction is actually amazing
there are thousands of brilliantly written novel-length stories kids wrote from their own brains about characters and shows/books/movies they love all twined into the internet and other kids read these 50k+ stories in their own time and invest themselves in it
nobody’s being paid to write it and nobody’s being told to read it, people do it because they legitimately enjoy it
that is just kind of amazing
it should be illegal for things in drawers to accumulate dust. you were IN the drawer WHAT is your problem

i think theres something thats unfortunate about some trends in fantasy books the last couple decades wherein people lose the story in the worldbuilding. the worldbuilding is generally there to support the story. u have to trust your readers to not need an explicitly detailed explanation of every aspect of how exactly things work... it doesnt have to have a Dungeon Manual. obviously it should hold up under scrutiny and not be, like, completely nonsensical in its implications in a way that contradicts things youve written into the plot and stuff. but it doesnt need to like. it doesnt have to be a situation where you have to Show Your Work all the time
obviously not every story is a fairy tale or wants to have fairy tale vibes, but i always think like. we dont know the Magic System of... jack and the beanstalk. we dont know Why a giant beanstalk leads to someones great big sky house or why the goose lays golden eggs like dont worry about it. unimportant
and while i think a lot of stories benefit from more worldbuilding than others, and some definitely really do A Ton Of Worldbuilding well (and like, some people WANT dungeon manuals!) i do think writers starting out often feel a pressure to approach writing a story by figuring out How And Why The Setting Works This Way, and that its good to be able to talk about like. other. priorities and approaches. just bc something is SFF doesnt mean it has to be all world explanation
sorry i never replied. everyday is blending together and i'm losing sense of time
Eileen Gu and her iconic Bubble dress at the Met Gala 2026.
The Olympic gold medalist freestyle skier showed off the high-tech Iris van Herpen gown featuring thousands of glass bubbles that released actual bubbles as she walked the red carpet.
Hidden within the garment, microprocessors precisely coordinated the release of pressured gas bubbles, sequenced through a dedicated digital interface and calibrated to operate autonomously. 15 000 hand-formed iridescent glass bubbles were individually bonded in place with UV light, releasing constellations of bubbles that floated into the air.
Music: Herbie Hancock, Bubbles
