Sometimes I still hear my voice

[ding-dong-dumbass]

I don't have a lot to say about Neil Gaiman specifically in the light of the Vulture article that others haven't already said. He can rot in hell with my enthusiastic blessing.

I also don't know what else I can add to the discussion about the victims who have come forward and those who have chosen for their own wellbeing to remain silent. I hope they are able to find justice and peace and I hope they recover from their ordeal as soon and as healthily as possible.

But my heart breaks for that little boy he stole the innocence of in his perversions. His son didn't deserve the upbringing he got. And he definitely didn't deserve the parents he got.

I sincerely hope the child gets the right kind of help from the right kind of people so he can go on to live a life that isn't deeply affected by the blight his parents have wrought. Especially now that their actions have come to light. He has to live with that knowledge for the rest of his life, know he's born of two deeply sick and twisted people, and wonder if the sickness may or may not be in him too, to suffer the anger and hatred of those who will visit the sins of his father on his head, to go through his adult life having to choose whether or not he can disclose his parentage with people who he wants to get close to and risk them leaving him because they can't stand the proximity to his father's awful legacy.

In his selfishness, Neil Gaiman has made every attempt to destroy the life and happiness of an innocent child who will never be free of the stain on his reputation.

I don't wish Neil Gaiman death. I wish him slow and deliberate torture for the rest of his useless life.

I truly am obsessed with how Knives Out was like. Hello Daniel Craig, man who has spent the past two decades of his career being alternately beaten up and objectified playing an action hero with no personality. Would you like to please put on a shirt and an incomprehensible vaguely Texan accent and flex your character acting dark comedy muscles as well as your pecs for a while. And he’s like BOY WOULD I and they made a work of art. Also love that they put Chris Evans in sweaters. Get your beefcakes then dress them nice make them soft and give them some bonkers character work to do it’s what cinema needs more of

[calamitys-child]

I love that several people have responded to this with “op I forgive you cause you’re Scottish but that’s not a Texan accent” which is fair thank you I appreciate it but no two people have agreed on what accent it is which is also Absolutely fair and hilarious as a reaction to this film

[calamitys-child]

Cannot stress enough that I do not know what the fuck a foghorn leghorn is but literally a hundred people have said it to me so far so I’m assuming it’s important to, like, Americans

[not100bees]

[tricornking]

The idea that Foghorn Leghorn,

The Rhode Island rooster from Looney Toons, is one of the Elder Gods of America, is honestly fascinating from a theological and folkloric viewpoint

[lovetheirloves]

Pardon me, but he is a LEGHORN, not a RIR. It’s in his NAME. Leghorns are an Italian breed. And yes, he is an elder god.

[tricornking]

According to Foghorn’s Tvtropes page:

Presumably, it’s less that Foghorn Leghorn is a Rhode Island Rooster and more that he’s a Rooster who lives in Rhode Island, possibly a Central Virginian Leghorn Rooster living in Rhode Island, though that implies a complicated and interesting life story that took him from Central Virginia all the way to Rhode Island

[lovetheirloves]

I would not rely on TV Tropes as an unbiased source. Wikipedia simple says his species is officially “rooster” and mentions a Leghorn being a breed of chicken. TV Tropes probably thinks the Cornflakes chicken is a RIR too.

[lovetheirloves]

I am potentially willing to concede he is a “barnyard mix” (cross between breeds) and his father, Harold Leghorn, was a leghorn and his unnamed mother was a RIR or other dark variety.

[tdhppjpurple]

I love this site.

[lovetheirloves]

Sometimes it’s 1:30 am and you own chickens and you’re drinking whiskey in the bath tub and accuracy about iconic fictional chickens is the hill to die on, ok, and that’s why I love Tumblr.

[mortimermcmirestinks]

OP, the reason nobody can agree on what accent it is is because our beloved daniel craig, bless his heart, CANNOT do an American southern accent, so he does the same thing that most actors who can’t do a southern accent do when they are asked to do one: he manhandles together a half-dozen accents ranging across about 1900 miles, resulting in something that mostly sounds like a rather terrible Southern Belle accent from, like, 1875 mid-rural-Georgia, but ranges around in vowels and occasional rhotics from vaguely Arizona to vaguely Appalachian.

basically he’s doing for the American South what Americans do for Britain when they do a “British accent” that is a haphazard mashup of Estuary, RP, Scottish, Irish, Yorkshire, Australian, and a little bit of French

[annechen-melo]

And it’s weird we can’t really manage each other’s accents, when there’s linguists that have traced the various drifts all over the place.

[elfwreck]

Benoit Blanc has the southern accent of someone who moved to the US south in his young teen years but his family switched states every few years. (Maybe he had a parent in the military, someone with the kind of expertise that got them assigned to different bases for big projects, a few years at a time.) So he has the “generic southern accent” but no specific version because he picked up bits and pieces of it in different locations.

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

yall i NEED to inform you that according to the commentary Rian Johnson has informed us that it’s not even just an accent, it’s an IDIOLECT.

Daniel Craig SPECIFICALLY AND PURPOSEFULLY was imitating Shelby Foote from the old civil war documentaries and how he in particular spoke

I'm sorry but I just have to appreciate the wordplay on that last sign. It's brilliant.

[Medium: Claws on rainbow scratchboard]

Remi works with a hesitant, erratic violence, creating a piece as light and fluffy as she is, and signing her work by hole-punching it with her teeth.

Timmy uses bold, strong lines to evoke some kind of powerful event, echoing his powerful presence and loud voice.

Nubbins, truly inspired, creates a high-energy piece that symbolizes the void where his brain should be, surrounded by chaos and mischief.

Kona, a reclusive avante garde artist, refused to work with me around. Only in quiet solitude did she create this haunting, introspective work.

it should be illegal to take a nap and still have a headache when you wake up. like no i shut it off and back on again why are you still here

I love all the possible implications from: “Mama is trans and wasn’t out back then”, “Mama successfully committed feminist voter fraud”, to “Mama just fucking voted and the people running her local ballot box knew what was fucking good for them and stayed out of her way”.

New to Tumblr, going to start dumping some of the stone carving that I've done here.

This big slate carving is based on a design from the Book of Kells, all hand carved with hammer and chisels.

Happy International Museums Day to the following people:

The guy who called me the Whore of Babylon for teaching kids about Ancient Egypt as I stood there and nodded.

The woman who was deeply incensed that staff wouldn't open the cases so she could touch the organic objects.

The one guy who made me translate hieroglyphs on a stele for him, then was mad because it didn't say what he wanted it to say, and reported me for 'lying' to the public.

The parents who objected to the taxidermied animals having taxidermied genitalia because it was unseemly.

Those kids on a school trip who got on the floor in front of a mummy and started chanting 'we worship Ra' as their teacher desperately tried to get them to leave.

That one guy who...uh...really liked geodes. No, they were not a special interest. He really, really liked geodes.

[thatlittleegyptologist]

#OP WHAT DO YOU MEAN

While pretty and sparkly on the inside, the outer shell of a geode is incredibly hard, just like the man who was viewing them.

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

[chlover-my-shingles]

ok but can we talk about that group of kids??!

[thatlittleegyptologist]

What would you like to discuss?!

a) it was really funny

b) kids do this shit all the time

c) kids fucking about like that in a museum is way more entertaining than hearing on the staff radio that geode guy is back

the “i am from russia” was a warning

[hobohobgoblim]

I asked a taxi driver in Bucharest to take the quickest route to the airport. 10 minutes later we're doing 120kph the wrong way done the street car tracks when another taxi tried to pass us and dude just floors it. Never spoke a word, smoked 9 cigarettes over the 30 minute ride, never took off his sunglasses and blasting opera all the way. I look at it as paying 15€ plús tip to lose all fear of death.

[ruffboi-mags]

the "i am from russia" was both a warning and a promise, and one that would weirdly put me at ease about the situation.

[surprisebitch]

how could you leave this in the tags

[thewolvenchimera]

second hand story but one I know is true, but my dad worked as a taxi driver in Monteray in the 90s. Now, it’s important to note that there’s a racing event in town, so lots of people are coming through. My dad just so happens to get a group of people in town for the race in his car.

Because taxi’s are not like uber and you are basically expected to make conversation, my dad asks if these guys are in town for the races. They say yeah, so my dad asks “are you participating or are you watching?”

“Participating”

“Well then, I don’t like you”

They ask why, and my dad explains that they’re doing what he’s always wanted to do. Well, this small guy right behind my dad makes the mistake of saying “Well, show us what you got.”

My 25 year old father, takes this as a challenge. Now, his driving is still scary to this day, so imagine how it was when he was 25. He fucking floors it down the highway, and there is an exit they need to take to get to the bar the guys are going. This exit has hedges on the drivers side, so my dad slows down to 60, takes this turn on 2 wheels. All the guy behind him see’s is these bushes coming at him, so he does the rational thing and he screams like a little girl.

When they arrive at the bar, everyone piles out, and then one guy stops, turns around and motions for my dad to roll down the window. He tosses a $5 at my dad and says “I’ve never heard anybody make Christian scream like that.”

My dad had Christian Fittipaldi and his pit crew in his car, and made him scream like a little bitch. It’s my all time favorite story.
