pop culture intertextuality is just so damn *fascinating*

today a parody movie (50 shades of black) comes out, based on the 50 shades of grey movie, which was based on the 50 shades book, which was based on twilight, which was somewhat based on interview with the vampire (which anne rice based on an earlier short story she wrote), which was based on Dracula and other vampire stories, which originally came from Dr. John Polidori’s The Vampyre (even though Vampires were a thing in folk tales before then, he was the one who made them all classy, etc.)

so really, like so many things, this is all Lord Byron’s fault.

It is kinda funny how two different staples of the horror genre (the vampire and the mad scientist/monster combo) both have their origins in the horrifying experience of being trapped in a cabin with Lord Byron.

i never related to a tweet more

Olga Foroga waiting for Diego and Luthor like:

can’t wait for jkr to hit menopause and suddenly cease to become a woman because obviously the only thing that defines womanhood is blood coming out of a vagina.

I do not know this baby but I love this baby.

This is it. The singular most uplifting video I’ve ever seen in my entire life. When Sam said there’s good in the world worth fighting for he meant this.

And when Remus heard about it:

My favourite thing about lesbians is that we love ugly clothes. Totally unironically. We shop for clothes like: "Wow. That's hideous. How much is it?"

love how merry and pippin just join sam and frodo. they just literally run into him after stealing vegetables, see some nazgul, and go “oh, sick. we’re in!” without, like, any preparation whatsoever. no going home and packing, no letting their family know they’re gonna be gone for an indeterminate amount of time. just them, their carrots, and a grand total of one brain cell. legends.
