me, living my life: chaotic stupid

[firbolging]

the pride and prejudice musical we deserve:

darcy doesn’t sing a single note even during conversations where everyone else is singing at him that is until the argument following his first attempt at proposing to lizzy where you can see his restraint fall away

his first big solo is the letter he writes her

gelsey bell is mary and the unofficial narrator and she sits down at her piano to describe whats going on but before she can ever reveal her feelings on the matter, starting with that gelsey bell scream, mr bennet comes over and does the whole ‘that’s nice dear but give someone else a turn’

mr wickham has this huge ballad about how darcy ruined his life and its super melodramatic and touching

mr collins proposal to lizzy is an absolute bop that he gets so into he forgets for a moment what he’s doing he’s just owning the stage

wickham has a song where he’s trying to seduce lydia but she’s not even listening she’s just monologuing about how excited she is to get laid

during darcy’s second proposal he keeps hesitating waiting for lizzy to interrupt him like she has done every time before but she doesn’t say anything until he’s finished

at the end mary sits down at the piano and right where she’d usually be interrupted, kitty joins her and harmonises

 jane and bingley have the adorable upbeat romantic duet which is just them being super polite like ‘oh so nice to have you here’ ‘so nice to be here’ interspersed with their inner monologue which is just them being like fucking jesus I’m so in love

the bingley sisters probably have a really cool mean solo

lady catherine has this terrifying disney villain song in the garden

there’s for sure a song about ribbon shopping

why’d we have to color so much in school.  it didnt teach us anything.  is “staying in the lines” a subconscious metaphor for not revolting against the bourgeoisie

He’s still salty because Grantaire wore down the red crayon once in kindergarten.

I wish I knew the exact time and date that harry told snape ‘there’s no need to call me sir professor’ so that I could take a moment of silence to remember the moment each year

[marauders4evr]

Judging from the context of the chapter…

We know that it’s September 2nd. I’d put it between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. (They have breakfast and then a free period. They have Snape’s class before their break, which was before their lunch.)

[yaneela]

But in the UK first period typically only starts at 9 AM. So free period from around 9-10 AM and Snapes class from 10-11 AM I’d say.

[perhapsarat]

Okay so 10am-11am every September 2nd is now an hour dedicated to remembering the most glorious piece of dialogue ever spoken by a fictional character

[infiniteglitterfall]

ok this just appeared on my blog with ample time for you all to prepare because apparently I stumbled across it months ago, and scheduled it to post on september first. executive function TRIUMPH!!!!!!!

Don’t worry, guys. Carl is clearly a brachiosaurus, which lived during the Jurassic period. (And before anyone says our lil’ boy Steve is a velociraptor and therefore puts our comic in the late cretaceous, aka the time of the comet–that lil guy could easily be a compsognathus or a caudipteryx, both Jurassic-era species of small theropod dinosaurs. So the light getting bigger every night is going to pass by harmlessly, and Steve and Carl can go on enjoying the stars together until they die of old age, since Carl has very few natural predators at his size and I bet he’ll protect Steve, if he needs it (though small, fast and carnivorous as Steve is, he probably won’t). 

So it’s all good!! 

[gardenofroseandthorn]

That entire response explaining how these two characters didn’t die a fiery death but instead lived long and happy lives literally made my day.

'Ca Ira' - Political References in Look Down

I may be the last person to know this, but what the hell, I only figured it out over the last 24 hours and I’m excited:

The French lyrics to ‘Look Down’ do include “ça ira,” in this context:

“Soit plus malin qu'le serrurier (Be smarter than the locksmith)

J'aime bien sa poire mais qu'en effigie (I like his pear but only in effigy)

Frappée sur les pièces de monnaie (Printed on coins)

Vive moi, pas le roi, ça ira, ça ira !” (Long live me, not the king, ca ira)

Which confused the hell out of me until two days ago, when I read a fanfic referencing satirical pears.  THIS FANDOM <3

Things you need to know about this verse to understand it, because Gavroche is currently smarter than you:

1. Louis-Phillippe liked making locks

2. Louis XVI had a vaguely pear-shaped head if you squint

3. ‘poire’ means ‘pear’ in French, but also ‘dimwit’

4. ALL the satirical papers of the time cottoned onto this

5. It was unhealthy to slag off the king

6. But everyone got around this, because there was a trial in November 1830 where smartass satirist Philipon argued “At which point does the resemblance between king and pear mean that one could no longer draw pears?” And then all the nineteenth-century Canards enchaînés called the king a pear forever after.

So Gavroche gets progressively more insulting towards the king to the point when he’s referencing a Bastille-storming song with a phrase that means ‘that’ll work’, and then Enjolras rocks up.  SYMBOLISM OF ESCALATION.

And then Enjolras exposits that “Paris resembles a volcano, ready to vomit the lava of its anger,” and it’s all fantastically apocalyptic and political <33333

[astresia]

The fact that you can be in this fandom for years and still be joyfully surprised is just… awe-inspiring :D

17.  So Charlie Weasley comes home one day all pleased with himself. Apparently, while dragons are nervous around wizards on brooms, they have not learned fear of Muggle airplanes, since Muggles are kept out of their territories. So Charlie went and got his pilot license and bought a small plane of his Very Own. And since “Mum already has a grandchild named for her,” he names it the _Arthur Airborne_, and his father is too ecstatic for words.

Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

No guys you don’t understand.

The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.

So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.

This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.

That’s not sad, that’s awesome.

*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing
