REAL LIFE DISNEY PRINCE TOM HIDDLESTON EXHIBIT
Always reblog the Real Life Disney Prince. Pay attention boys, this is how it’s done.
I’ve always liked Tom Hiddleston but this just made me fall in love with him
The most generous man… plays the most mischievous God👏🏿👏🏿
He is really actually the best
Do you ever cry because there needs to be more people like him in this world
Gomez gives out better relationship advice than like 90% of dudes.
Gomez Addams is a suave motherfucker who loves his wife more than his own life.
Everyone should want a Gomez. He’s p cool.
Gomez and Morticia Addams actually have a very loving and extremely healthy relationship, both in the old TV show and in the more recent movies. They were also one of the first television couples to be shown to have an active (albeit offscreen) sex life. Their frank attitude towards sexuality was shocking in its’ time, but their relationship and their family dynamic is actually more functional and more…dare I say it…sane than most families portrayed on TV.
The comedy in the show came from the family’s “odd” lifestyle, rather than from infighting and petty bickering, or worse, as was common on other shows of the time, thinly veiled references to spousal abuse. They didn’t make fun of each other or act like their children were creatures from another world. Were they strange and outside of social norms? Yes. Were they united in creating a loving home and being good, supportive parents? Absolutely.
These two support and adore their children, care for an aging mother and an estranged brother, put family before everything, and they love each other, wholly, fiercely, without reserve. They are every bit as much in love after at least a decade of marriage as they were the day they met.
Relationship goals. LIFE goals.
Just remembered in the second movie when their third child became “normal” for a period and although they were shocked and didn’t know how to handle it, they didn’t mistreat the child or love it any less. They accepted the difference, even though it was hard for them.
Reblogged for truth.

Posts about Gomez and Morticia Addams are almost always uplifting and I’m happy to have them on my dash, but I think my favorite bit about this conversation is what Gomez is actually saying to Fester.
It’s nobody’s surprise that many of the aesthetic and thematic elements of The Addams Family in its various incarnations are influenced by Gothic tradition (not goth, that mostly came later. And not Goth, that was much much much too early), and I think Gomez’s words are a dead bullseye in terms of Gothic mentality.
“Make her feel like she’s the most sublime creature on earth”
The sublime is a recurring theme throughout Gothic literature. Although the word (like “awesome”) has lost a lot of it’s original luster over the intervening decades, sublime doesn’t really mean elevated and lofty (or even heavenly) as it’s often used today, but rather something possessing the power and grandeur to induce awe and veneration in the mind of the beholder. Although less than divine, something sublime possessed a wildness and power that transcended human ability to control…or even to comprehend.
Sublime is standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon leaning as far as you dare over the railing and still not being able to see the canyon floor below. Sublime is warrior-queen Galadriel being tempted by the One Ring. Sublime is waking up in the middle of the night in the heart of a wild thunderstorm.
“Make her feel like she’s the most sublime creature on earth”
Gomez isn’t advising Fester to treat a woman he fancies like a princess, or even elevate her to pedestal of angelic nature (who’s idea was it to equate femininity with purity anyway? What a laughable and historically damaging idea. Shame on whatever dead (probably) white dudes promoted that!)
Gomez is advising Fester that if he truly loves a woman he must do everything he can to remind her of how she’s an untameable force of nature who’s grandeur brings him to his knees in awe and terror. Just like Morticia, for Gomez.
I’ll sign off with one of my most favorite quotes of all time, because it feels suddenly very relevant:
“When I find myself surrounded by so much beauty, I feel as if I am the eye of a hurricane.”

Reblogging for the commentary on the Sublime
See its posts like these that I love. Seeing this post and connecting it with mid eighteenth century literature is just amazing
Halloween is a good time for Addams Family Appreciation :D
I feel like when you’re writing, organizing chapters and dialogue is easy
but jfc, the amount of time it takes to constantly keep people moving and make sure they’re in the right spaces and trying to come up with wording for it is always such a shock.
Like, fuck, I made you pick up a coffee cup, you need to put it down at some point. also I can’t remember what I dressed you in, can you push up your sleeves? I don’t remember if you even have your shirt on.
and YOU. YOU OVER THERE, you got out of your chair earlier, but did you come back yet? Are you coming back? Where did you even go and why’d you get up? Fuck, I can’t make you sit down again already, you just stood up, go…over there. go get more coffee. Did you bring your mug with you? fine. bring the pot to the table and—wait, wasn’t the coffee pot already over here? shit, hold on, I need to go back and re-read and re-write
this is the most relevant thing i have ever read.
I think one of the most wild things as a writer is the sensation that you’re not actually directing your characters– they’re sort of directing themselves, and you’re scrambling around attempting to copy down whatever it was that they just did, but they don’t wait for you to finish copying. They just keep walking and talking and moving around and existing of their own volition and at some point you look up and you’re like “WHOA OKAY EVERYBODY BACK THE FUCK UP WHERE ARE WE”
It’s kind of like trying to write sheet music for an orchestra while it’s playing
^^THIS
you can be Clexa af and love Bellamy Blake at the same time, just like you can be Bellarke af and love Lexa !!! shipping and loving characters aren’t mutually exclusive ppl !!!
like, how could you not appreciate that this war-loving, gun-touting dudebro with an attitude problem:
turned into this soft, logical, kind-hearted, and war-weary grown ass MANS with a beautiful beard:
and that this seemingly cold, analytical, survivalist leader wth raccoon eyes:
turned into this vulnerable, gentle, hesitant, love-struck babe who just wanted peace (and Clarke) in the end:
nothing but respect for MY well-developed bbs 💕

What you need to know- Arya and Aegon are married and are the rulers, Gendry is Arya's Queensguard and let's just say that there are plenty of feelings to go around. ---------------------------------//----------------------------------"Lady Margaery, please do sit." Arya smiled and waved a hand to the chair in front of her while Gendry shut the door. "Thank you, Your Grace." "Please, call me Arya." "Then I must insist you call me Margaery." As she sat down Arya rested her arms in her chair while leaning back appraizing the proper lady in front of her, smiling as if this meeting was the greastest thing that has ever happened to her, even though both women know different. "Then if I may ask Margaery, what is your business here in Kings Landing? Seeing that your husband died I thought you'd return home to mourn your loss, unless you intend to take mine away from me." Arya smiled sardonically as Margaery's own smile dissapeared for a few seconds before coming back with even more force and brightness. "Your Grace that is prepostorous! I would never dream of doing such a thing!" Her giggles resonated in the solar but Arya was not smiling and only a small smirk rested on her lovely face. "Margaery we agreed no titles! There is nothing seperating you from me, we are merely two women sharing a conversation. Now that that has been cleared I wish to warn you." "Warn me? Are there any dangers lurking here Arya?" "I know who you are Margaery. I know what you want and how far you are willing to go to get it." Arya got up from her chair and placed herself behind it, holding the headrest with a graceful hand. "You wish to be queen and you havê succed twice already. I admire your preseverance, I really do but I want to make one thing very clear. You try one more time during our reign, if you try anything with my husband-" Her Queensguard, Gendry, flinched but perhaps not just from her tone and sharp words "- I will tear you apart." ------------------------------------//------------------------------- Hey guys, again, this is just a small sneakpeek, please tell me whether or not you liked it and if I should turn this into a real story/fanfiction! Thank you lovelies!

I snorted so hard I was not expecting that
This isn’t realistic for adults. I’m sorry it’s just not.
Don’t fall into believing that, “if they’re a true friend they’ll drop everything and run to be by your side!” crap.
As a responsible adult there will be times that your friends are hurting and you won’t be able to go to them.
There are times that you will have to go to work, or take your sick kid to the doctor, or do many other things that will prevent you from being there for your friend.
When your friend calls you and they’re falling apart and it’s ten minutes until you have to leave for work, you’re not a bad friend for saying, “Look, I love you. I’m sorry this is happening, but I have to go. I’ll call you back tonight when the kids are asleep.” Or “I’m so sorry this is happening. I love you and I want to be here for you but I’ve got to get to work. I’ll call and check on you during my lunch.”
Adult life is hectic and busy with important things all the time and unfortunately it’s also full of shitty things happening to people we love.
Do your best to be there for the people you love and ask for support when you need it but be understanding when being a responsible adult comes before helping you.
The idea that people need to be there any time you need them is really damaging and unhealthy, too. You can’t place value on a person or a relationship based solely on whether or not they’re available, no questions asked, whenever you need them.
In addition to the above: sometimes, someone simply does not have the energy to help. Maybe they’re coming out of a rough patch themself, maybe they have been busy all day,maybe a chronic illness is flaring up. There are a myriad of reasons someone may not be able to be there.
Obviously, if someone is taking you for granted, and never seems to care how you’re doing, that’s an issue. But to write someone off because their life and your life didn’t line up quite right at a given point in time, or maybe even on more than one occasion, is not a healthy way to handle things.
The burn from this is so real I almost feel bad for her…ALMOST!…SUFFER!
It’s sad cause it’s true , is so difficult to get money these days and is gonna get worst
It took me over 5 years of regular job hunting to find a solid full time job with actual benefits. During that time I was constantly submitting my resume - not just to my ideal jobs, but retail and low paying entry level things to just get SOMETHING - and I freelanced on the side when I was able to get clients, even joined a business networking group to help (which I wouldn’t be able to afford on my own, my parents had to help me with that). During those years I was a seasonal retail employee (laid off at the end of the holiday season ), a full time and underpaid without benefits graphic designer (laid off due to lack of work and the company struggling to stay afloat), and an emergency dispatch caller (resigned when hired at my current job that paid better and was lower stress).
Now I’m fortunate enough to afford a decent apartment on my own, with a job that pays just under $40k a year before taxes. And guess what? That’s the most money I’ve ever made in my life, and I’m almost 30. I have chronic tendonitis from all the work I do, both typing and art, and I work 10 hour shifts.
I’d LOVE to have a house, even a small old one. I’m lucky to put aside a few hundred every month for savings, most goes into living expenses, food, Internet, etc. Internet’s not even a luxury for me - it’s actually a job requirement. I live it a relatively cheap state, cost of living wise. And I still. can’t. freaking. afford it. My husband’s been looking for a job for ages, and he has over 8 years of work experience in the service industry - he still hasn’t be able to get something full time.
Few things make me angrier than ignorant assholes calling my generation lazy or that we’re just “not trying hard enough.” Fuck you, we’re dealing with the clusterfuck of a mess your greed and shortsightedness left us with.
