why do Ethan Rayne and Giles have the same relationship as Buffy and Faith??
"Homoerotic silk shirt wearing trickster and someone they accidentally murdered with, that trauma dividing them completely. post murder one began dressing conservatively and tried to forget the murder and their friendship ever happened, burdened by guilt, while the other goes off the deep end and gets even more evil and cunty."
it's them??????
“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know
There’s an emotion only unlocked when you live in a house with multiple stories. I call it “the stair emotion” and it’s when you realize the object you need is on the other side of yet another trip up and down those goddamn stairs. It’s the closest I get to transcending the desire for material goods. Maybe I don’t need that notebook. Maybe I don’t need anything.
Gandalf during the Hobbit: good god I wish Bilbo was more naturally in tune with his Took side I feel like I have to force it out of him
Gandalf during Lord of the Rings: TOO MUCH TOOK FUCK FUCK FUCK WHAT IS WRONG WITH PIPPIN
I don't get how online stores can simply just not ship to certain places. Put it in an envelope with my address on it and stick it in a mailbox dumbass.

the more i talk w/ leftist friends the more i start to realize that they think culture is only defined by food or "traditional" (i.e. "ethnic") garb and nothing else
mentioned how white americans do in fact have a common culture and they genuinely thought i was joking. culture isnt something only granted to the Cool People of Color. just feels like among progressive groups there's this dichotomy created in which only the virtuous oppressed minorities have culture and anyone who is privileged some sort of void cultureless being
As someone with a background in anthropology, culture is everything and everywhere. It's so all-encompassing it's hard to even wrap your head around. Everything you do, say, think, eat, wear is wrapped up in culture. Even being deliberately counter-cultural, by consciously defying the expectations of your culture, is still an engagement with culture (often by adopting a sub-culture).
Sure, it's the “simple”, “surface-level” things that people tend to think of, like
In your culture, how many meals a day are you generally expected to eat, and when are you expected to eat them?
In your culture, which clothes are considered “formal”, and when would you wear such clothes?
But it's also so much more:
If you were dating someone, at what point in the relationship would you be expected to introduce them to your parents? That's culture!
How much respect is given to artists? Are people like poets or musicians revered as an integral part of society, or is the predominant attitude “get a real job”? That's culture!
How much value is given to education? What's considered more socially embarrassing - academic failure, or academic achievement? What's the intellectual landscape? Do people tend to respect experts, or denigrate them as “elitists”? That's culture!
Which things are generally considered to be “high culture” or “low culture”? Which kinds of media and art are considered “for the masses” versus “for the elites”? That's culture!
How are politicians treated? Do people tend to respect them as their “betters”, their “leaders”? Or are they assumed to be lying, conniving, corrupt, the worst of society? What kind of thing would end a politician's career? That's culture!
What's considered more egregious behaviour - bothering other people, or asking someone to stop bothering other people? That's culture!
If you were attending a job interview, how would you want to come across? How would you be expected to dress and behave? Would it be better to come across as very bold and confident, or humble and subservient? That's culture!
If you found yourself in a tricky situation - say, broken down at the side of the road - would you confidently expect strangers to come and help you? Or would it seem really weird for some random person to come and involve themselves in your situation? That's culture!
How are you expected to communicate? Is it seen as rude to be very blunt and straightforward, or is it considered rude to beat around the bush and make allusions and try to soften what you're saying rather than quickly getting to the point? That's culture!
I could go on (boy could I go on). This is so not meant to be all-inclusive; this is just a tiny sample of the things that make up “culture”.
To put it bluntly, a lot of the time the word “culture” seems to be used to mean, essentially, “the things that make people of colour different from white people”. Oh, this guy eats this different kind of food; that's culture. This lady wears these clothes to a wedding; that's culture. But we white people, we don't have “culture”; we just do what's normal. But it's all culture! Everything! All of it! And culture isn't just the result of where in the world you come from - class, occupation, rural/urban location, minority status, political affiliation, all these things and more can result in cultural differences even within a small area. Multiple cultures often co-exist, blend, overlap, and borrow from one another within the same place, which is especially noticeable in places with legacies of migration. People bring different cultures from around the world, and these interact with the dominant culture in all sorts of interesting ways. But a culture being dominant doesn't mean that it ceases to be a culture.
Claiming that certain groups of people (generally, whoever is the dominant majority group in a particular context) “don't have culture” is just as dumb as when people claim they “don't have an accent” simply because their accent is the most common one where they live. There is no “default”, every deviation from which is “a culture” or “an accent”. Everyone has an accent. Every community, everywhere, has culture(s). If you aren't aware of your culture, or don't think you have an accent, you're probably just so used to being considered “default” and “normal” that it doesn't occur to you that no such thing actually exists.
tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it
this is one of my favorite bits about tumblr
the users seem to actually prefer text posts to anything else, and treat it as a chore to play a video especially with sound
wishing all christmas-celebrating cat owners a very Good Luck with keeping your tree upright <3
pro tip: if the surface you're about to sit on is the same colour as your noble eunuch, make sure to double check it to avoid any accusations of assassination attempts

My detailed plan for a Dracula adaptation that doesn’t inevitably disappoint people:
I get the movie greenlit. The budget is a billion dollars. Everyone wants to know why. That feels excessive.
The trailer comes out. It’s obscene. Explosions. Out of place sex scenes. Someone’s hanging off the side of a train at one point. Also the train is on fire. Quincey lassos Dracula at one point. Wait, there’s a cowboy in Dracula? Gun fights. Dracula with a glock. Those didn’t exist back then. Blood everywhere. Whatever other shit needs to be there to bait people into seeing the movie.
People see the movie out of morbid curiosity. This is the theatre exclusive run. They come in and sit down. The lights dim.
Then they brighten again. The doors lock. It was a trap. There was glue on all of the seats. Now they’re all trapped. The trailer was all that was filmed and the entire budget was used.
I come out with a copy of Dracula. No one is allowed to leave until they listen to me read the entire thing. I do this in every cinema in the world. When I’m done, they can leave. No one will believe them.
Bonus when it comes out on streaming: the victims of the cinema run start posting online. Everyone thinks it’s fake but they watch the movie anyway. They can’t help themselves. They press play. I emerge from the floorboards. They’re glued to the nearest surface. I hold them hostage in their own home and they listen to the entire novel. Then I release them.
Over eight billion people on earth. When I’m done, there will be no one left to claim Dracula is romantically involved with Mina. It’s foolproof.
Rewatching parks & rec and no wonder I loved it so much a decade ago when I first watched it. I'm soooo picky w my taste in straight couples in media but all 3 of the main p&r ones are just so good. Maybe bc they all very clearly and obviously like each other. Yeah there's conflict in them but usually bc one personality is overshadowing/blind to the other person. Or it's a will they/won't they but in an external way. More like a can they/will they risk it way.
Like Andy and April are pretty immediately in love with each other, and mostly just have to learn to act like adults about it. Ben and Leslie are pretty immediately in love but have to take their jobs/public images into account as far as having an actual relationship goes. Ann and Chris are also pretty immediately attracted to each other but have to navigate being pretty different as people.
But they all care about each other so much. At the very least they're all best friends at the end of the day. They all have so much respect for their partner.
April thinks Andy is so cool because he's so unapologetically himself. And he thinks April is such a cool funny badass woman.
Ben admires Leslie and her ambition SO much. And Leslie loves how sweet and nerdy Ben is while still being a force of nature when he puts his mind to it.
And Ann and Chris are both such lovely, beautiful, supportive people.
In a world full of "I hate my partner" tropes in media it's SO nice to have a show where that couldn't be further from canon. And even just as a group of people, they're all friends. There's no like ... Secret hatreds or love triangles* that undercut their friendships.
It's a show that took a second to find its footing, but it found a real diamond of kindness and optimism in a mine full of cynicism.
(* if the show doesn't acknowledge Mark's existence whatsoever after he leaves, then I won't either)
