Twisted&Tangled

I'm a college student studying history and art history with a serious of random fixations. I love finding beauty in the world and this page serves as an outlet for that. Mostly, I read a lot, watch too many Disney movies and spend entirely too much time talking to my cats.

The cover of the next Stern, a German news magazine.

The title Sein Kampf (transl. his struggle) is a play on the title of Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf (transl. my struggle).

The full translation of the cover would be

HIS STRUGGLE

WHEN THE GERMANS CALL YOU A NAZI

[ixiagrey]

if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, ITS A FUCKING NAZI

[nudityandnerdery]

To be fair, it’s called goosestepping, not duck- never mind.

Fact #1: laser sights don’t help your aim; they’re highly inaccurate at any range longer than a couple dozen yards and only good for rapid target acquisition

Fact #2: absolutely every precision shooter knows this

Fact #3: almost nobody else knows this because movies have erroneously taught people that snipers paint a red dot on the target’s chest before they shoot them

Fact #4: any nazi who notices a red dot on their chest while giving a speech is going to immediately stop talking and get off the stage, probably while shitting themself

Fact #5: laser pointers are cheap, legal, and easy to conceal, and unless there’s smoke or dust or something in the air, theres no way to know where it’s coming from

Eleanor Roosevelt and Lyudmila Pavlichenko.    Lyudmila Pavlichenko was a Soviet sniper credited with 309 kills, she is regarded as the most successful female sniper in history. She visited with President Franklin Roosevelt, becoming the first Soviet citizen to be welcomed at the White House. Afterward, Eleanor Roosevelt asked Lyudmila to accompany her on a tour of the country and tell Americans of her experiences as a woman in combat. Pavlichenko was only 25, but she had been wounded four times in battle. ↳ more х,х,х | gifs from Battle for Sevastopol 2015 trailer.

That movie is fucking amazing BTW and should be watched.

the main thing that i realized recently is that boba fett sucks, he’s a bumbling clown, and if the prequels ruined his character it doesn’t matter at all because he’s a dipshit

[splendidland]

me: all he does is stand around watching a strip show, then immediatly gets his gun cut in half and sent flying into the Suck Pit. i don’t understand why this character is popular also me: IG-88 is the coolest character in star wars

[dongcroncher]

Boba Fett survived the Sarlac Pit and was canonically considered the fiercest bounty hunter in the galaxy.

[splendidland]

Boba Fett died down there and was dissolved away like a soft biscuit for a baby.

[darkarfs]

He doesn’t even catch Han. He follows Han until they get to Cloudtown, where VADER catches Han. And then when Han unfreezes, he doesn’t even try to shoot at him. He aims his dumb wrist at something hundreds of yards away while a half-blind Han is standing next to him. Then Han shoots him the jetpack BY ACCIDENT and he rockets into a wall like Wile E. Coyote except screaming like a wiener and falls into the only place around for hundreds of miles that is a sentient death pit and not just sand.

Boba Fett’s popularity makes NO sense, he sucks and is a loser.

Flashy flamboyant cuttlefish aren’t fazed when found by a foe. In a blink they broadcast boldly, blinding bedazzled brutes with a bluff: 

“Don’t bother with this beast, because I could be your bane.”

everything gets so much better after you realize that idleness is strongly discouraged by capitalism, so you can now do both at the same time

CLASSIFICATIONS OF FAE;

The Unseelie

The fae of the Unseelie Court tend towards malevolence, and are guided by the lords of the Winter and Autumn Courts. The Unseelie fae are often merciless and are likely to be aggressive without provocation.

Most people in the Middle World know to avoid involvement with the Unseelie, though doing so can prove difficult when such fae may freely lie and mislead those they interact with.

A gameshow that forces male nerds into the unnecessarily sexualized outfits female video game characters have that they defend as “practical,” and then makes them do agility training

SIXTY NOTES

[favoritelatina]

Being a woman is hard af.

No boobs? Damn. Grow some. Boobs? Cover yourself. You’re so vulgar. No ass? Everyone will laugh at you for it. Ass? Well, better cover yourself cause you don’t wanna draw attention to that booty, right? Short? You need to wear those heels. Tall? Damn. You cannot be taller than men. Also, never wear heels. Skinny? Gotta gain weigh cause no one likes bones. Chubby? Eat healthy!!!! Nobody likes fat bitches. You like makeup? Hell no. Taking you swimming on the first date. No makeup? Please, take care of yourself. Don’t be so lazy.

We, women, are constantly shamed for everything so we, as well, might do whatever we want.

[dibellasagent-deactivated201707]

Want to have sex? Ew, slut. Don’t want to have sex? No one likes a prude. Want to be a stay at home mom? Anti-feminist. Don’t want kids? Selfish.

Literally every decision we make is criticized. That’s why building up self-love and confidence is so important. Live your life the way you want, don’t let other people control you.

“We were just there on set because we knew there was gonna be no dialogue. We knew it was just gonna play back in the museum as silent footage of them together so we shot it, they were just talking to each other, not even as the characters, they were just talking to each other as Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan trying to make each other laugh and have a good time just so we have this little moment between the two characters. We actually never had a script in terms of what was happening there in a storytelling level, it was just a moment to show the two were close and had a great relationship.”

Fun fact about William Moulton Marston’s original Wonder Woman comics: Wonder Woman frequently brought women from Man’s World back to Paradise Island with her so that they could learn to fight like Amazons too.  Because in the original comics, the Amazon’s powers weren’t magical, just the result of a ton of training.  The idea was that literally any girl could be a Wonder Woman.
