V Orange Pips

This is my personal/fandom blog. My other blog (mentalillnessmedia.tumblr.com) highlights the best and worst portrayals of mental illness in media.

Does the Gigantocypris remind anyone else of Hunson Abadeer?

After realizing that it was Ha Ji-Won in “Daddy” I stumbled upon her and Psy doing a Secret Garden spoof for a beer commercial. It makes both of them even more endearing.

The circle is complete. These two pictures make it look like a 19-year-old version of me peered through some bushes on my birthday and saw my children dressed up with me.

i’m reading an advance copy of clariel and i skipped ahead to the author’s note and OH MY GOD THAT SECOND PARAGRAPH

ANOTHER STORY ABOUT NICHOLAS AND LIRAEL 

MY TIME HAS NEARLY COME

[vorangepips]

Supernatural fans who "aww" over inocent first season Sam (compared to season 9) really ought to watch Gilmore Girls. Jared Padalecki is an adorable baby-faced cutie with dorky hair.

Apart from being a very cool project this raises a few thoughts…

What IF Clark Kent looked African American? How would he deal with being an alien and seeing people who look like him being persecuted simply for the color of their skin? What if Steve Rogers was an African American soldier, fighting against the blond-haired blue eyed Aryan ideal? And what if Peter Parker was a smart African American kid, fighting for the common man?

yeah but what if fred weasley became a hogwarts ghost

pulling pranks and flirting with seventh-years and telling an over-exaggerated version of his death to anyone who will listen, haunting slytherin first years and popping up in the boring classes and making faces at the teachers behind their backs

skip a few decades. george weasley dies.

fred’s ghost is never seen again in hogwarts

The most iconic commercial in television history? I think YES.

[vorangepips]

All I could think of the whole time I watched this was that one scene in The 10th Kingdom.

This is amazing. Now we just need it designed in SmartDraw so we can build it for real.

Remember Gingerhaze’s Party King Thranduil and Party Elk? My sister Cindy and I dressed up as them for the Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug premiere! And we met many lovely elves, hobbits, a Radagast, and even a Smaug while waiting for it to start! We both made our costumes by ourselves and Cindy will talk about her construction process on http://cationdesigns.blogspot.com/ as usual. My elk head was paper mache, cardboard, wire hangers, glow sticks, googly eyes, and battery powered LED lights. Much fun was had. My king passed out drunk. Also one of the dwarves looked like Nimona.

If only there had been a Legolas that we could take to school and embarass…

killingmonstershuntinthings:

this makes me sad.. he was such a bad father..

I hated it when John talked to Dean

[butterflydm]

And the thing about this moment that gets to me so much — John is mad at Sam, so he takes it out on Dean in a petty way. In an episode that was about replaying patterns of their family life, that was a very telling note. Insulting/belittling Dean is John’s way of letting off steam after a frustrating conversation with his other son.

[deathbycoldopen]

And what’s telling about that is that John raised Dean to be perfectly obedient and not to talk back; so when he’s taking his anger out on Dean it’s because he knows that Dean won’t say anything.  It’s the horrible parent equivalent of punching a pillow when you’re angry- except that in this case the pillow can actually feel all of the blows that land on it.

[vennstiel]

It’s also John’s way of blaming Dean for Sam’s insolence — for saying that Dean did an inadequate job of raising Sam, because Sam doesn’t respect John. Because Sam sees Dean in the father role, when John intended for Dean to be the mother.

When John says this to Dean, he isn’t talking about the Impala at all, he’s talking about Sam. He wouldn’t have given Sam to Dean if he’d known Dean was going to ruin him.
