The year is 2018. Your bills are on autopay. You just got paid and you still have $1200 from the last check. When you want something, you buy it without moving money around. Your credit cards are paid off. You and your friends have 2 international trips planned and paid for this year. Your parents are in great health and you’re able to help if they need anything. You love your job. Your desired creative career is falling into place and you get to take your little cousins to Six Flags and Universal Studios over the Summer. Your relationships are healthy and supportive. All of the toxic energy from the past 6 years is gone. You going to concerts, eating good across the states and your crib has art and warmth throughout. 2018 is going to be so good to you.

“not all heroes wear capes”

ok true, but My Hero bob newby wore a cape as dracula for halloween and i think it’s safe to say he’s the biggest hero of them all it’s 100% ok to say that this saying is now disproved, goodnight this is my legacy

I have an announcement

Upon further research, my data shows that Nancy and Jonathan are perfect for each other as none of them could ever deserve someone as pure and beautiful as Steve Harrington.

[princessamericachavez]

A compelling list of Steve Harrington defending and protecting people in Season 2. 

Scroll to avoid spoilers. 

Goes to those sad monthly diners with Bab’s parents

Tries to keep the mood light and happy to help Nance

He just wanted Nancy to stop drinking and get home safe

Drives to Dustin’s house to deal with the monster dog. 

Walks into the basement because Dustin is scared. 

Dating, emotional and fashion advice all in one

Heavy work to bunker up the bus

Turns himself into bait for the monsters

Stands in front of Max when a monster is climbing down into the bus

Makes sure everyone gets into Hopper’s car before getting in

Stands in front of the kids with his bat when the house is attacked

Volunteers to babysit

Just wants the kids to stay home and be safe

Fights Billy (and does damn well until that little shit cheats)

Gets his ass beaten protecting the kids from a bully

Goes into the tunnels with them

Leads said adventure to make sure they’re not attacked by anything

Goes back for Dustin after the plan spits on him

And for Mike when he gets stuck

Shouts “get behind me” like a million times

Blazes the vines while the kids stand at a safe distance

Helps everyone out of the tunnel knowing damn well he’ll be last

Hugs Dustin as the monsters run by (even lifts him off the ground)

Pre Snow Ball Pep Talk!!!

TL;DR: steve put himself on the line of danger more times than I can count even though he’s not even directly linked to this simply because he was trying to keep a bunch of kids safe and could’ve easily died and my heart hurts

[kingofthepitt]

Steve: *is a good boyfriend*

Steve: *doesn’t leave Dustin alone to deal with the lizard problem*

Steve: *doesn’t blame/leash out on Jonathan after his breakup with Nancy*

Steve: *had plenty opportunities to start a fight with Billy, but didn’t do it bc he doesn’t give a shit about his “King” status at school*

Steve:  *the only time he actually fights with Billy is to stop him hurting children*

Steve: *call’s himself a babysitter and doesn’t think it’s a girly thing to do* 

Steve: *acts like a Big Brother™ with Dustin*

Actual line from the players guide. Samus is canonically not afraid of looking silly.

I don’t know why but that just made my day even better than it already is.

If there’s one thing I’ll give 2017 over 2016, it’s that it’s kind of stunning that the year is mostly over? 

2016 felt like the year that would never die. 

2017 is a hectic nightmare that never slows down enough for you to be aware of the passage of time.

[taraljc]

accurate.

Witnesses say they asked Britney why she shaved her head and her response was, “I’m tired of plugging things into it. I’m tired of people touching me.”

i can never not reblog this

[britneyjustin]

T-Pain: “That was the most beautiful thing in the world. Do you know why she was shaving her head? Because it was so important to other people. She is like, “Listen. Don’t touch my hair anymore. Stop touching my hair.” People were like, “We’ve got to make your hair before you go outside. You can’t leave.” She went … “Now I don’t have hair. What you going to do?”

[fieldbears]

The older I get the more her breakdown seems less ‘unbalanced’ and more ‘completely understandable’

[saundering-deactivated20180828]

it’s because other people told you she was unbalanced at a point in your life when you didn’t have the life experience or wisdom to understand otherwise

[damianimated]

LETS PLAY A GAME. It’s called: Who directed it TIM BURTON or HENRY SELICK

We’ll start with the 2009 Laika film Coraline based on the novel by Neil Gaiman. Do you know who directed it? Burton or Selick?

Did you guess yet?

If you guessed Henry Selick, you would be correct. Tim Burton actually had absolutely nothing to do with Coraline at all in anyway ever. Reminder: Tim Burton has NOTHING to do with Coraline. At all. But that was an easy one. Let’s go to the Walt Disney Pictures adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel, James and the Giant Peach next.

Think you got it? Are you sure? Better double check…

Oh, look. It’s Henry Selick again! Tim Burton actually interacted with this project, though only as a producer. Bet that was tricky… Next one! Let’s go to the Disney/Touchstone Pictures film Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Have you guessed it correctly? Have you really?

Yep that’s right. Even Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas was directed by Henry Selick. Though Burton wrote the poem and created the characters in which Nightmare was based he didn’t have much interaction with the project beyond that. At the time he had already signed off to direct the film Batman Returns and did not want to be involved with the “painstakingly slow process of stop-motion animation.”

Looks like it was a trick quiz. But now you know Henry Selick, whom people rarely know of is responsible for many of the most well known stop-motion animated films. The more you know!

[thebeldamsbuttons]

This isn’t even being qeued. This is just being reblogged, because some of you still don’t understand who directed Coraline.

[smieska]

You guys don’t understand, Henry Selick was so happy and so incredibly nice and grateful that there was a festival solely dedicated to the art of Stop Motion and that he was an invited guest. He was treated like a superstar in his craft, and he was absolutely surprised.

All stop motion animators were actually. So please please please, appreciate this guy and his hard work in his key role at keeping stopmotion animation alive and well today.
