Magic has been around for generations. In most places, it’s said to be difficult, that you must command the magic within you, that only the written spells are proper and powerful. It must be learned in a book, in a classroom, and never mind those who say otherwise.

Some know better though. Some know that magic can guide you just as much as you guide it, and there is nothing more beautiful than when it flows from your fingertips, or your mouth, or wherever and however else it comes to you. They know that magic learned from a book is cold and dead. Paris is the place to go if you are one of these. Whether you join those below in the dark magic of the catacombs, or the street performers above who play with light and color as if it’s their calling, Paris has a place for you.

I am seriously skeptical of religion as a whole.

Yet when someone tells me that they are going to pray for me, genuinely, with nothing but love in their hearts, I just smile and say thank you….

…because I’m not an insufferable jackass.

[bombdignity]

I’m an athiest, but I live in the south so there’s always religion being thrown in my face. For context of this story: I had surgery in July, the fifth in a row for a medical issue I’ve had for two years.

One weekend before my surgery I went and got a facial (let me tell you. if you’ve never had a facial, YOU NEED TO). This was the most relaxing experience I’ve ever had, tbh. But my esthetician and I had been talking sometime during my facial that I was having surgery soon. So, at the end, she asked, “Can I pray for you?”

This put me in a damn weird position because I don’t believe in the “power of prayer” as my aunt calls it. So I had two choices: say yes and just go with it, or say no and look like an ass.

So I told her “Yes” and I suppose I expected her to pray for me at a later date? But she prayed for me, with me, right then and there in the room. And honestly?

I bawled.

Look, I don’t believe in a god. I don’t believe that her attempting to contact an entity would have changed my outcome of my surgery at all. But the sheer fact that this woman, whom I’d known for all of an hour while she did my facial, was willing to take 5 minutes out of her day to sit down and use her faith to help me.

Shame on the people who put others down for their willingness to pray for and help them.

[tooiconic]

Things like this warm my heart. 💕😭

We had a small earthquake here last night, and I remember hearing my cousing saying a small protection pray during the thing. They are Catholics, I was the other type of Cristian until I was 18 and decide to stop following religions… I guess I never stopped believing that there had to be a big force out there, call it God, Universe, Buddha. But that small pray got into me, it gives you a little reassurance that things may not get worse, and a tragedy wont happen.

We speak Spanish here, but it went like “Santo Cristo, Santo Fuerte, Santo Inmortal, ten misericordia de nosotros y del mundo entero”. Which translates into asking the Lord for mercy on you and the world.

I think the fact that you’re not praying just for yourself but you’re including the whole world there makes it better. It’s not selfish, and so reassuring. It gets into you even if you don’t believe it.

“mood” is basically the equivalent of “amen”

[animatedamerican]

and now I am picturing an entire congregation solemnly intoning “big mood”

[2edge4u]

“May the Lord be with you.”

“Bitch you too the fuck!”

“You really didn't see the sadness or the longing unless you already knew it was there. But that was the trick, wasn't it? Everyone had their disappointment and their baggage; only, some people carried it in their inside pockets and not on their backs.”

What makes me so mad is that snow queen is such a lovely tale and there was an evil mirror that shattered and froze the queen’s heart. So the first thing the newly evil queen does is PLUNGE THE KINGDOM INTO ETERNAL WINTER.

And the kid Anna is based off of is actually this sweet peasant girl who is rescuing her best friend whom everyone else thought drowned and whom no one cared for because mirror shards got in his eyes and he only saw beauty in snowflakes while everything else was just disgustingly foul to him. Except he didn’t drown because he was whisked away by the snow queen.

Like this girl gives her shoes to the river to find out he didn’t drown. Her hair ribbons to the birds to find out who took him. Works her hands raw to get to him and has to suffer a mental breakdown because she got SO FUCKING CLOSE to saving him and he won’t even look at her because he wants to solve this puzzle the snow queen gave him.

And then her sobbing wakes him up and he cries and washes the shards from his eyes and the fact that she saved him is enough to melt the snow queens heart and she brings spring back to the kingdom.

Wow Frozen really is some weak shit

[out-there-on-the-maroon]

Let’s not forget Gerda’s journey takes her along a long road that includes meetings with multiple women, many of them old, most of whom are not evil witches but wise women who aid her in her quest. She’s also at one point held captive by a bandit princess who swaps clothes with her and insists on sleeping in the same bed and routinely threatens her with a knife, but she eventually lets Gerda go with a magic talking reindeer she was also holding captive. The bandit princess cries because goddamn Gerda you’re so NICE and PRETTY and BRAVE and you clearly care about this stupid guy I GUESS and I can’t bear it just GO ok just GO and also you better fucking take care of her reindeer or I will CUT YOU.

The story is full of interesting complex women of many ages and magical talking animals and it’s a real shame we didn’t get an adaptation closer to the original ‘cause it’s really cool. 

[asparklethatisblue]

hey good news about the adaption:

There was a Soviet animated movie from 1957, that doesn’t brush over any of the things you just listed.

You get Gerda on her journey, meeting all of those people that both hinder her quest and help her, with older women from different regions of northern europe, as well as several princesses who aid her

also the art style and animation is absolutely gorgeous and I always feel like it’s a shame that older Soviet animation is barely recognized around the world 

you can see the entire thing with english subtitles here

good luck getting that band-aid to stick.

a concept: future jake and amy having a kid BUT amy goes into labour on halloween and jake has to figure out if amy is cheating him out of the heist or if he’s actually about to have a kid

[dizzybunnies]

bold of you to assume she didnt plan to get pregnant exactly 9 months before halloween so that its actually both

[mrgaretcarter]

bold of you to assume it wasnt jake who planned to get her pregnant exactly 9 months before so she’d be thrown off by contractions

[mrgaretcarter]

bold of all of us to assume Holt didn’t pick an exact date to compliment them both so they’d have validation horniness so that jake AND amy were in disadvantage during the heist

I do love Dolly.

[tellmeoflegends]

Here in Tennessee, Dolly has an organisation called The Imagination Library. It donates books that she chooses every month to EVERY CHILD born in Tennessee from the day they’re born until they turn five. TWELVE BOOKS A YEAR FOR FIVE YEARS EVERY CHILD! Thank you, Dolly Parton!

[glumshoe]

One of my favorite tropes is “Villain Decay”. It’s not a redemption or reformation - the character themself doesn’t necessarily change morally or behaviorally, but the as the stakes become higher and more serious antagonists are introduced, the original villain seems harmless and friendly in comparison.

The real lesson from Frozen is, and always has been, never listen to a bunch of shipping trolls.

[kira-ani-mcgrath]

#seriously though#Frozen#their advice to a scared father seeking advice: yo everyone will hate and attack your kid#better erase her sister’s memories and imply if she’s around other people that she will be murdered!#their advice to a girl freezing to death: marry this guy we kidnapped#seriously they kidnapped Kristoph as a child#none of them asked the very practical questions about Hans that Kristoph did#some love experts#yes they can do a little magic great#this does not qualify them to give life advice 

I couldn’t agree more.

So at one of my jobs I work with this really nice woman named Liz who has an equally nice boyfriend. Thing is, I don’t know the boyfriends name because Liz only addresses him as boytoy. The term boytoy is used so frequently to describe him that not only does she have no problem using that term but neither do any of her coworkers including myself. One day Liz told me that he would be stopping by and when some dude with a beard came through the door I looked at him and said, “Mr.toy I presume.” And he just looks at me and goes; “The very one.” 

Fucking eh. Relationship goals.
