every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

[damianmcgintleman]

he stole christmas, kayla! stop with your #notallgrinches propaganda!

[equalistmako]

you know what if someone told me i was a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce i’d probably be bitter enough to steal christmas too 

[prokopetz]

Interestingly, though The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is narrated by Boris Karloff, the big musical number is sung by the late Thurl Ravenscroft - an American voice actor better known as the voice of Tony the Tiger.

My headcanon is that the Grinch and Tony the Tiger had a bad breakup, and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is the resulting breakup song.

Did this really HAVE to be the first thing I see when I opened up Tumblr?

[prokopetz]

Yes.

DAMN IT WHY WOULD YOU BRING THIS BACK YOU HEATHEN

[logan-exe]

Why is this on my dash?

[princeanxious]

…..I’m.. Bothered? by the fact that I’m not bothered by this.

[randomslasher]

You’re not bothered?? I’m not only not bothered, I’m freaking invested. I’m having actual empathetic sadness for The Grinch. I want them to go into couple’s counseling. I want the “ten years later” when Tony visits Whoville on business and meets the reformed Grinch whose heart has grown 3 times its usual size. I want them to reminisce over a shared dinner of roast beast and wine, then spend a drunken night together, then realize that maybe things are different and people really do change. I want a 3-act story where there’s a long dark night of soul searching and the realization that maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance.

"well youve had it 6 years that's a good amount of time for that kind of thing to work"

"you should be grateful you got 3 years of use out of that thing, I'm lucky if mine last a year haha"

listen, in 1977 nasa launched the voyager spacecrafts to take advantage of a planetary alignment that takes place every 175 years. These 2 crafts were planned to flyby the outer planets of our solar system and gather data on them to send back to us. Voyager 2 launched first on the 20th of August despite its name because it was planned to reach our gas giants after its counterpart voyager 1, which launched a little later on the 5th of September.

The voyager mission was planned to end 12 years later in 1989. In that time, voyager 1 and 2 passed by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They discovered new moons, confirmed theories about Saturn's rings, found the first active volcanoes found outside the earth, and they take close-up images of planets only seen at that point from telescopes.

On the 25th of August 1989, voyager 2 encounters Neptune, the last planet in our solar system the voyagers will meet. And that was that. End of mission. Now obsolete.

~

Less than 1 year later on valentine's day in 1990 voyager 1 looked back on the planet that had built it and sent with it a world's worth of hopes and dreams and took a picture. We called it the solar system family portrait and in it, we see ourselves. The pale blue dot nestled in the darkness of space

And then commands were sent to shut down their cameras. Preserve fuel.

35 years after launch, in 2012 voyager 1 sent back to us data about interstellar space. The very first manmade object to enter it.

41 years after launch voyager 2 did the same. Still operational, still going. Still sending back to us invaluable data, teaching us about our own solar system and the suns influence in our local bubble of space.

They are expected to continue to operate until the year 2025 - almost 50 whole years after they were launched and 36 years after their mission was supposed to have ended.

48 years of harsh space travel, battered by solar winds, pulled by gravity but fast enough just to escape, pelted by who knows how much space dust and radiation.

And even after that, they still have a purpose. Each craft was given a golden record. A disc filled with human knowledge and knowledge of humans and the planet they live on. Greetings and well-wishes to any prospective extraterrestrial life that could potentially pick it up. Co-ordinates, an invite. Samples of our music, the things we love, sounds of the earth, a story of our world. The surf, the wind, birds and whales, images of a mother, our moon, a sunset. Long after the voyager spacecrafts go dark, probably long after we are gone, they will still be doing their job; educating a species about our very tiny corner of the galaxy.

They are nasa's longest-running operation.

And it was all done using 70s technology.

So excuse me if I want a phone that lasts more than 2 years or a vacuum cleaner that doesn't break down after 6, or god fucking forbid, a refrigerator that will keep my food cold my entire fucking lifetime.

In hindsight, it should have been obvious. The signs were all there, unwittingly scattered by Peter like breadcrumbs for Tony to follow—the way he would fall into uncomfortable silence when the topic of dating came up, or become flustered whenever Tony teased him about the mysterious Michelle-Call-Me-MJ character Peter was constantly gushing about, or deflect Tony’s mostly-joking inquiries of whether or not they needed to be having The Talk with a hurricane of splutters and blushes.

And even without the signs, Peter was still his kid. Tony was just supposed to know these things.

So when FRIDAY pulled up Peter’s search history—‘how can i make myself not like boys,’ ‘can you force yourself to be attracted to girls,’ ‘how to stop your friends from knowing youre gay,’ ‘how can i keep my parents from finding out im gay’—Tony wasn’t surprised so much as deeply, unquantifiably ashamed. Because he should have known.

might be a hot take but it was hypocritical of Rayla to go off on Ezran for arresting her father's murderer and not giving him 0.2 seconds to emotionally process it before making a decision on what to do with him (aka. free him), while Rayla had literal years to process 3 of her parents "deaths" and she still chose and did her damnest to hunt down and kill their murderer.

[baatarthefirst]

Oh, it's very hypocritical...but I actually kinda liked it? Here me out. I love when characters have faults as long as they are presented as faults. While we can (and probably should) make the argument that Rayla's hypocrisy isn't treated as a fault, it's not -not- treated like a fault. She knows she's betraying Ezran, she's not happy about that, but she accepts that what she has to do. Ez is dear to her heart, but this is her father. Rayla's still feeling guilty about Runaan and the other assassin's fate and wants to right the wrongs and to top things off, Runaan is so very anxious to get back to the husband who's been mourning him for two years. So it's very in character, I can see where she's coming from and it's presented as a morally grey(ish) thing of her to do. So I have no problems with her hypocrisy. Callum...sorry, he's way too willing to betray his own brother right off the bat ("you don't have to ask"). Admittedly, he was soon forced into a life-or-death situation where he had no choice but to side with Rayla, and he did try to make peace before that...but that initial decision to betray Ez without a moments hesitation... Then (after what is actually an excellent line about not being Ez's high mage, but always being his brother)...nothing. No regret, no fear of losing his brother, no concern over brother's mental health, no mourning the fall of Katolis, no complicated feelings towards Runaan and working towards forgiveness together... just happy (alright, I admit they were cute) domestic moments.

Rayla's actions were hypocritical, but understandable. Callum just wasn't well written this season. And that's such a shame because in the first arc they didn't shy away from his anger and other complicated emotions. I know he's gotten more mature, but he should still be allowed to have big feelings.

[tiredoftheseworlds]

you hit the hammer on the nail lol. this is exactly my thoughts when I watched s7. despite feeling really frustrated with Rayla, I can understand where she's coming from bc of her culture, the way she was raised, literally just losing 2 parents - and the desperation to piece her living family back together. the fact that she apologized in a very straight forward way helped a lot too - I'm not holding it against her, if that makes sense.

callum tho - yeah no. I spent like the past 24h in a boiling rage because of how shitty he was. immediately after ditching his kingdom and little brother in arguably their time of most need, he integrates himself into the moon elves' place and starts saying shit like "yeah I could live here, this is nice" and literally hugs Runaan, and tries to gain his favour/become part of the family. like tell me you don't give a shit about your murdered step dad, huh?

no thoughts about Ezran, no thoughts about Harrow just... nothing. no thoughts about how he attacked Ezran first too - with the ice pinning him to the ground. And then his little trip down memory lane during his apology- "I remember when you broke my toy and I was mad at you" that got me mad. so so mad. Callum's the one in the wrong here - it's Ezran who should be saying "ok I think we might be able to get past this" not Callum. he should be apologizing, not treating Ezran like a kid and dismissing the whole issue.

I really loved the complexities with Callum-Ezran-Hallow dynamic in s1 (it was the first thing that made me love this show), so seeing it completely gone and butchered has probably impacted my feelings about it disproportionately.

Looking for a fic!

Does anyone know the name of this fic?

It was on ao3

It took place around the time that the Batman inc/ Talia attacking Gotham things were going on (before Damian died).

The plot was that Bruce wanted to give Damian back to Talia to stop the attack/ maybe his vision about future Damian as batman from coming true. Dick wouldn't allow this, and he basically picked up Damian and went to Bludhaven. Bruce found some other way to solve the issue, but Dick didn't give Damian back and he basically adopted him.

I also remember Bruce and Dick arguing, and Tim came out of a room like: Do not wake Damian, he has a test tomorrow!

[tiredoftheseworlds]

"ezran considered killing callum-" from s7e2 is such a hot take. that's your opinion. your interpretation. ezran never says he considered killing callum.

what happens is that ezran calls for rayla and runaan to surrender - after she beats up 2 of his guards breaking runaan out. callum comes in and attacks everyone - pinning everyone, including ezran to the ground with his ice. in retaliation, aanya takes the first shot - a warning shot that skims runaan's bicep. ezran holds up his hand to tell her to wait, and callum stands in front of the moon elves, physically shielding them with his body. shielding his step-father's killer, ezran's dad's killer, with his body. ezran and callum stare each other down, before ezran signals to aanya calling off the shot.

no where does it say or explicitly show that ezran was willing to kill callum. he stares callum down, waiting to see if callum will move - if callum is really ready to sacrifice himself to let runaan (harrow's killer) and rayla go free. and when callum doesn't move and erzan realizes callum is actually putting his life on the line, he signals to cancel the shot and they get away.
