lex luthor's hatred of superman is entirely based in selfishness and ego. superman has what lex wants, no, deserves, and it makes him mad. he can't understand that superman is genuinely good, is helping people for the sake of it, because he can't do that. so superman must be up to something, and what better reason to make everyone love you than to take over the world?

in superman (1987) #2 lex investigates the connection between clark kent and superman, hires scientists to create a program to find it out, gathers evidence, and when he asks the machine, it tells him the truth. superman is clark kent. and yet, lex can not believe it. it's broken, it didn't work, because no being as powerful as superman would ever choose to act human. and he thinks this because he would, could never do so. although he casts superman as different, alien, other, he can not imagine a world in which superman isn't exactly like him, and doesn't want exactly what he wants. that's why he hates superman, because he can't fathom that not everyone is like him.

the thing is that everyone does actually want the skill set that comes with a humanities degree but a) they refuse to acknowledge that actual WORK goes into acquiring those skills and b) they want to do it all without actually reading a book

“Lilo and Stitch” 2002

Deleted Scene

Lilo plays a trick on the tourists.

IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU’D UNDERSTAND

I desperately need to understand

WHY

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

Was this scene cut from the movie??!!

Fucking christ, do you know what this would have done? What this would have meant to SO MANY people??  The truth of this is devastating. And to think it almost found it’s way into a DISNEY film??

The inclusion of this scene alone would have made it the greatest animated feature the company ever produced. Easily. And if you think that’s hyperbolic clearly you don’t understand.

No, really, if anyone knows why this was cut PLEASE let me know. 

[snoozlebee]

oh man WHY WOULD they cut this, this is so great, holy MOLY

[coelasquid]

It was clearly something the crew was very reluctant to get rid of if it made it all the way to rough-clean (and in a few scenes clean!), fully inbetweened animation. That is like, thousands and thousands of dollars and weeks (months?!) of labour. Maybe a reluctant producer decided they would alienate their white middle-class American audiences by making them feel “too guilty” and pressed them to drop it? It’s unfortunate, it’s one of the most honest accounts of racism in a Disney movie (which is why it’s believable that someone got uncomfortable and made a case to get it chopped)

Designing entertainment by committee for maximum marketability is probably the most heartbreaking process in Hollywood.

I’ve been seeing this around my dash and think it deserves some more recognition!

God I fucking love being a monk at the Monastery of Lindisfarne on this fine morning of June 8th, 793. I love looking at all the gold and silver objects and alive monks that live here.

Unseen Academicals is underrated as a Discworld novel. It may be late stage Pratchett but it also contains Glenda Sugarbean who is just as much a feminist icon as the rest of Sir Pterry's female characters.

She's capable, she's furious, she's not conventionally attractive and she's forever reading and fantasising about bodice rippers. She's running everyones lives for them, but she's full of self hatred for not doing anything for herself.

She's feminine in a way that we rarely see in media but all the time in real life.

And most importantly she can make pickled onion remain crunchy in a pie.

Love going back to the goblin emperor after having read the cemetaries of amalo because now you're on a first name basis with thara and every time he shows up you get this little boost of serotonin. Like! There's my boy! He's a pathetic little wet rag of a man and I would kill for him.

You've heard of "humans being severely injured to reveal mechanical insides" now get ready for a far more horrifying alternative: machines and technology being damaged to reveal meaty, bloody insides

Love, love the dichotomy of Peter being the first person to stand with and reach a hand out of kindness and support to mutankind.

While also accidentally creating the device that will ultimately become one of the greatest tools used for mutant (and mutates) oppression.

Jokes about how Mags is going to be hunting his ass aside.

Can you imagine the guilt that'll come with that revelation for Peter? It'll almost damn right kill him before any mutant can get his hands on him.

protestants: god is not an absent father! talk to god like a friend! god is always with you! bring your problems to god, no matter how small! it’s not at all weird to call god “daddy!”

catholics: god is far too important to give a fuck about your lost keys or your algebra exam. please address your petty concerns to one of god’s ten thousand holy secretaries. if it’s really important, consider asking his mom.

[ashesdotpng]

catholics can’t get in touch with god because he’s always on the phone with a protestant

people are so weird about feet

[studentofetherium]

there are people with foot fetishes and there are people who cannot see any depiction of bare feet without assuming it's a foot fetish thing, and the second category is the one that feels more perverse

[studentofetherium]

it's such a bizarre form of conservative sexuality that it makes me realize how Victorian ankle enticement became a thing. people are so staunchly against sexualization that something being sexualized is a negative fact of its own

[studentofetherium]

frankly i do not care if someone wants to fuck a foot. that's their business. the people who cannot see a bare foot without making a negative joke about foot fetishests are the weird ones
