i understand that it's unreasonable to expect a band on world tour to play in every country in the world but i do think they should only be allowed to call it a world tour if they play in every continent. we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa
"we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa"
YES!! absolutely, this!!!
Hiya,
To your knowledge, has a transcript (either official or fan-transcribed) ever been released for the dialogue & spoken-word components of The Odyssey?
If so, do you know where I could obtain a copy?
The film is so affecting and the spoken word has always haunted me (as do F's songs), maybe even more so as it/I age(s).
(cannot understand how HBHBHB is 10 years next June! AAAH).
Thanks very kindly for your time,
/Kit
TRANSCRIPT
Scene 1: What Kind of Man
Man: I heard you talking in your sleep last night.
Florence: What were you doing?
Man: I was just um, I was just watching. You seemed, uh, you seemed sad.
Florence: Why didnāt you wake me up?
Man: Uh, I didnāt, I didnāt want to, uh, I didnāt want to intervene. It just seemed like you were, you were suffering somewhere else. I, I didnāt think that it was my place to, to drag you out of it, so um, I just let you be.
Florence: So you just let me suffer? So you think that people that suffer together would be more connected than people who were content?
Man: Yeah, I do.
Florence: I suppose if youād been through something. Like if youād been through something catastrophic. If youād been through like, like a storm or an earthquake together or something like horrendous, you, it would bring you closer together. But what if they are creating the disaster within themselves? *Laugh*.
Man: Itās not, itās notā¦yeah thatās what happens, thatā¦
Cut-scene
Florence: And thereās this big storm thatās all around us and weāre in the middle of it so itās calm. But I can feel it, like itās everywhere. And things are OK now but I never know when itās going to change.
āā
Scene 2: St Jude
Stranger: why are you traveling alone, are you lost?
Cut-scene
Florence: Weāre not changing, Iām not changing.
āā
Scene 4: Queen of Peace
āBody Of Waterā - part 1:
To give yourself over to another body
Thatās all you want really
To be out of your own and consumed by another
To swim inside the skin of your lover
Not have to breathe
Not have to think
But you canāt live on love
And salt waterās no drink
Scene 5: Long and Lost
āBody of Waterā - part 2:
We're dying of thirst so we feast on each other
The sea is still our violent mother
The blood round here pours down like water
Each wave a lamb lead to the slaughter
And like children that she just canāt teach
We break, and break, and break
And break ourselves upon the beach
āā
Scene 6: Mother
Man: When are you leaving here?
Florence: I donāt know, maybe Iāll stay.
Man: This is just a place you know, a visit. Pass through.
Florence: Yeah I donāt know, I thoughtā¦I guess I think this is what I wanted umā¦and sometimes I still think that I should stay.
Man: Nobody stays here. And you can leave. You will leave here.
āā
Scene 7: Delilah
Man: you think you have lost your faith but you have not. You have only misplaced your faith. And you can find it where it lies now deep in your soul. And the way to do that is through the simple process of love. Love yourself. You canāt love and forgive other people if you donāt first of all love and forgive yourself. You have to realise that people are fallible beings. They make mistakes. They have to be excused from these mistakes, and allowed to continue in their quest for a better life and for goodness. So love yourself and then love other people. Please forgive yourself. Go on a journey of finding love and forgivenessā¦
this guy gets it
Alright my friends stay tuned for an episode weāre calling āAmy has the coronavirus, is on cold meds, and has decided this means the stars are aligned for her to handbind a dear piece of the fanfiction canon, My Immortal by xxxbloodytears666xxx (2006)
So far, so good: the book block has been sewn for a couple days now and I did not lose any fingers to the guillotine
I donāt have appropriately goffik endpapers but what I DO have is red (maybe redās like roses?? Or maybe itās a POOOOOOOL OF BLOOOOOD!! Pouring one out for you Enoby, youād have loved the rwby intro) and Iāve also got this:
Time to see how well measuring and exacto-knifing go.
Most predictable problem; having trouble getting the mesh fabric to glue down. I have also lost my glue brush so itās probably not helped that I am using my finger instead.
But when fabric and paper refuse to cooperate, they get squished by the Get Along sock
Alright I think the Get Along Sock worked. What did NOT work was my ability to cut straight but enoby was into bi guys anyway
Here is the book block sandwich. Hoping the glue in the mesh will hold the endpaper to the previous page.
Put the sandwich in another sandwich
And letting it cook for a little bit.
Alriight!! So far so goodā spine is glued and dried and the fabric seems to be doing ok:
So now itās time to prepare for brain surgery
This is going to require coordination and counting, two things I have NOT mastered this fine morning. Thoughts and prayers
I have already failed at using a metallic for a headband, so I figure, maybe Iāve learned something and can try again.
Went looking for some other thread to use as a second color and found a black that formerly belonged to a dearly departed family friend, who I am not sure I could have ever explained this project to
Side note: it took me like four minutes to figure out how to get the shiny thread off the spool so thatās a good sign
Right, so, as it turns out, making a headband with shiny metallic thread is only possible if youāre an octopus. Or at least better at this than me. Or possibly not shaky from lack of non-noodle foods.
Image description: a goddamn mess
SO I decided to cheat. With the help of a very tolerant housemate, I wrapped the thread around the twine on its own:
(Phone camera wonāt focus that close but you get the idea)
And then sewed it on.
I am not confident it will hold up once Iāve cut the excess twine off, but we shall see.
Well, attempt 1 for doing a headband on the bottom was a failure. I was like, āa one color headband shouldnāt be that hard,ā and then I promptly got it started wrong, so then I watched the first minute of DASās video and was like āI got this.ā
Reader, I didnāt got this.
Previously I had tried doing a shiny one unassisted: experiments included taping the twine to the table on one end and clamping it on the other (didnāt work) and holding it between my toes (did work, but my core is not strong enough to keep holding my feet at the correct height. It was after this I tried the one color, but thatās when my housemate got up for a bathroom break and she kindly held the twine for me
On a related note, I always thought metal thimbles were far inferior to rubber ones because you lose the dexterity and grippiness. Turns out, when you REALLY need one is when youāre pushing a needle through 4 sheets of paper and some glue, bc a rubber thimble wonāt do much to help with that. Enter, the thimble armor:
Thatās a strip of fabric with dried glue on it. Works wonders. Reminded me of cloth armor and how people who recreated it had trouble cutting into it with a table saw or something
More glue is drying and I need to sleep for a bit I think
Right so what I decided today when cutting the cover boards is what this cover probably needs is at LEAST one pentagram. Possibly more than one. And they need to be hefty.
In theory the cricut maker can cut chipboard. Iāve never tried. We are finding out if it can make successful pentagrams. Itās been going for five minutes and is 1% done so I think itāll be a while.
I didnāt have the type of grippy mat youāre supposed to so I just⦠taped it down with extra tape. Fingers crossed?
Meanwhile the spine is enjoying its time with the mull under the Get Along Sock. Or it will be if it knows whatās good for it >.<
(Pictured without sock)
(Maybe I should have added more tape???)
Ok so it turns out when you cut out cover boards you should notice that theyāre, oh, NOT THE SAME SIZE before sanding. Caught it in time but now idk what Iām going to do with the leftover.
Pentagram is 39% done, but the book isnt naked anymore:
Itās back in the squisher
I feel like I did something out of order but idk what so uh fingers crossed here my good fellows
And weāre no longer naked!! While thatās pressing, I am going to find out if I can use iron-on vinyl on chip board. Because I think what we need here
Is some sparkly red accents
Nothing can possibly go wrong here
Completely failed to line up the iron on properly so now the pentagram gets an extra dimensional look
This might be one of the worst things Iāve ever done
I also glued the feathers upside down
Buuuut nothing to be done about that now so it will just look like itās REACHING FOR YOU
The fishnets are on!! (Or as close as I could find.)
First I tried to glue it down on the inside under the endpapers, which technically worked but was very messy and I didnāt want to do it 6 times. So then I went for tape:
Which worked on one cover but not on the other.
So, one side is taped, and one side is tied together:
So this has been a fun process
The front monstrosity decoration is on, and getting squished.
GLUE LEAK GLUE LEAK GLUE LEAK
Sharpie to the rescue!!!
More or less
Next I shall continue to bend feathers backwards and gluing them down. Started this last night with PVA but I might switch to gorilla glue again
Hopefully they donāt break?????
I only have one binder clip (I swear I used to have two so who knows where it went) so Iām gonna have to glue them down three inches at a time
Instead of watching glue dry Iām going to go eat cheese out of the bag
Turns out the answer to āshould I just use gorilla glue on the back instead of PVA?ā⦠was yes. Cue several minutes of dabbing PVA out from around the fishnet. Gorilla glue is our friend. I might have to buy my housemate more because idk how much of this bottle Iām going through
this is how that revelation went in my head by the way:
Back under the sock to try and get these bits flattened down. I should have done this first BEFORE I tried to glue them to the back. So now I know next time I try to glue feathers around a spine.
Anyway I put the bone folder in between but thereās a non zero chance the sock is gonna get a bit glued to the book so⦠fingers crossed
The Sock might be nearing the end of its days, but it has served us here, more or less
Last step: gluing down the endpapers, which will cover the mess on the back of the covers in the same way that you can cover a crumbling cake with frosting. I.e. itās probably going to be obvious thereās something under there but everyone is gonna be too distracted by the Horrors to notice.
So here we go:
And then itās back to the Fezzik the book press for a few hours of squishing.
I really really hope the gorilla glue on the cover is as dry as it felt or else thereās gonna be foam glued to it
THE MONSTROSITY IS COMPLETE
Thank you all for accompanying me onā or at least toleratingā this journey. (And, in one personās case, the mess on the floor.) More pictures are here
because if you think the outside is nuts
youāre going to fuckinā love the inside
Sometimes it blows my mind that there are people that donāt wear glasses/contacts. Like they can literally see with no aid. Like they wake up and just be out here seeing. What a wild concept.
And people say stuff like ālol donāt you hate it when you look up in the middle of the night and see a spider on your ceilingā like bitch (!!) i could have Nicholas II last czar of Russia hangin from my ceiling fan and i would be none the wiser

I bring a real 'actually people who are pregnant do deserve some special consideration because they are effectively at least temporarily disabled if not permanently after some complications' vibe to the party that a lot of people don't seem to like
I'm not normally impulsive, by which I mean I'm not impulsive in the way ADHD impulsivity is normally characterized -- driving fast, compulsive spending, shoplifting, risk taking behavior generally. But I have never felt my very specific verbal impulsivity more than when I'm with my parents and the Adderall either hasn't kicked in or is wearing off.
It's not exactly infuriating or frustrating but like, whatever the gentler version of those are, when my mother reminisces about my childhood in a way that indicates she clearly noticed my neurodivergent behaviors and just thought they were cute. She keeps bringing up how for two years in grade school I ate the same sandwich for lunch every day.
1. Lady, I was nine. You packed my lunch. As I recall it you didn't ask what sandwich I wanted, you just packed me the same thing every day. Which was fine! I like cheese sandwiches! But I don't recall you giving me the choice.
2. Even if it's true that I asked for the same thing, you noticed this and now I find you spoke to my teacher about it and still didn't think to get me the evaluation you got my diagnosed-autistic younger brother.
But she doesn't know I have ADHD because can open, worms everywhere, so I finally just said, "you bring up this story a lot, does something about it bother you?" which is the impulsivity talking.
Turns out I thought she was trying to somehow offer a criticism of some current behavior of mine and she just found it a treasured memory of parenting me. I do not find "you were a little weirdo failing fourth grade and I did nothing to help" a treasured memory, but the Adderall did hit before I got that far in the conversation, so that's something.
Whenever Therapist and I do scheduling around the time I'm traveling home, I always book for after I return for self-evident and practically stereotypical reasons.
"I do not find "you were a little weirdo failing fourth grade and I did nothing to help" a treasured memory, but the Adderall did hit before I got that far in the conversation, so that's something."
MATURITY!!
"all you ever do is complain" that's not true. I also resent.
and love..........
avoidance is lowkey funny because itās like i donāt want love on the off chance that it gets taken away from me and then i have to become john wick or something
weāre all on the only social media that matters and this is why.

AO3 taking 17 years to get beta-read and finally post an update is the most fanfic thing ever.
"gender is a social construct": fairly easy for leftists to understand
"race is a social construct": a bit harder to swallow for some but still reasonable
"mental illness is a social construct": this one gets you hate mail in your inbox

snagging these screenshots from artist Ro Salarian
absolutely absurd how many banking providers and social platforms are absolutely forcing people into unsafe practices due to the anti-sex pressures in governtments/societies right now
many of the same issues that always come up here:
the conflation of real world criminality with fiction
the biasing towards large corporate forces over individuals
financial debanking/deplatforming does not stop creation it limits transparency about the process and opportunities
attempting to mark some difference between suggestive or sensual art and sexual or explicit content as if the second category is devoid of artistic merit the prior category meets.
banning consenting adults engaging in legal sexual practices that have been around as long as people have been having sex
putting that ban of legal and consenting content in the same category as things that are plainly illegal/harmful, such as C-S-A-M or non consensually aquired content. things that are banned everywhere because they are actually illegal anyway.
Generally i think it's a bad thing that a platform that only facilitates fundraising and distribution and does not actually host any content is acting as if this is protecting anyone instead of being a spineless capitulation to the financial corporations that sre themselves bound up in the current wave of regressive political manoeuvring to attempt to legislate out of existence any group they deem disposable and surveil/control the money and media for everyone while they do it.
It's not particularly new or unexpected, in this current era, but the continued oppression of huge aspects of social humanity, of physical biology, and of cultural and artistic history is something horrible to see. And for what? For the reason of cultural control and mass surveilance.
why is it this
reblogging a post that says ādo it scaredā vs actually doing it scared
This is the best one
(in case anyone needs context, since i know there's a bunch of younguns who didn't even know the "It's gonna be May" meme... The song playing is NSync's song "It's Gonna Be Me", the guy in the mint green t-shirt is NSync member Lance Bass, and the guy in the pink hoodie is his husband Michael.)
I need to you all to know that the original caption for this is : āPOV your friend mispronounces a word once and now itās a national holiday.ā
WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE- ONE OF THE *NSYNC MEMBERS IS GAY!?!
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
I very unironically love that people are just now discovering Lance Bass is gay in the year 2025 because the man's been out since 2006 and it just delights me that the stupid 2000s gossip rag circuit didn't manage to make that the only thing ppl remember about him. š
no no we remember that he is winning tiktok
