I am a firm believer that the BBC Merlin fandom will never die, therefore neither will the institution of BBC Merlin. There are still accounts on tumblr talking about it, making content for it. And now there are tiktok accounts talking about and making content for it.

There will come a time, when the world is finally ready, when someone will pick it up again. It won't be a sixth season, though. It will be a new series, of Merlin in the modern world, looking for Arthur, or whatever version of Arthur this world could give him. And, if the stars are aligned, if the gods are content, if the moon allows, it will be gay. Hopefully.

if i had seen the transition from sepia to color in wizard of oz in 1939 i would have lost my shit i would've started screaming in the theater

Okay no but like, I am still SO ENAMORED by this transition y’all, ‘cause when Dorothy opens the door of the house onto the colors of Oz, the inside of the house is still sepia toned. And they did that by literally making the interior and the costume and everything SEPIA TONED. You had a double for Judy Garland in a specifically-created sepia-toned dress, in a sepia-toned set, opening the door, backing out of frame, and then the Dorothy that steps back into frame is Judy Garland in her full color costume and makeup, stepping out into the color set.

It’s just

Y’all it’s such a GREAT EFFECT, and this was before computer effects and green screen, it was all practical and yeah it feels like nothing now, but at the time, man, not only was technicolor new, but I’m pretty sure no other movie had done a transition out of b/w or sepia into color, and even knowing it was a technicolor film, that must have just been fucking wild to see! It still is wild to see!! It’s so good.

The technique of switching between double and main actor without an edit is called a Texas Switch and it's still used today, it's very neat to have something so simple yet tricky persist pretty much just because it genuinely looks better to do it with timing than with editing.

one of the worst feelings in the world is when you're playing a game with dialogue choices and none of the options are something you want to say. like i know it's not me, it's the character i'm playing, but he would not fucking say that. i know him better than you and the burden of this knowledge weighs heavier on me than you will ever understand.

I regret nothing

I can just imagine them having quick handjob while Racek is waiting for them you can say it’s…. Getting out of hand *dies*

My friend is telling me about guy he dated who was some hyper credentialed expert in nuclear science and was constantly getting turned down for jobs and people told him hey it’s probably your very explicit sex/kink Instagram publicly available under your real name and he said yeah probably but this is how I want to live my life

heavy is the neck that wears the collar

The whole nft thing is miles funnier than the broader cryptocurrency thing because nfts are about paying out of your asshole to buy a picrew illustrated by someone whose sole exposure to the art world at large was via viral animated cartoons uploaded onto ebaumsworld

Like don't get me wrong, attempting to own a jpeg is hilarious enough, but I cannot stress enough how fucking ugly these things are. Imagine paying a mortgage for a bitmoji designed by someone whose sole job is like, drawing the cast of The Big Bang Theory in the Family Guy style

My favorite part is watching people instantly getting art-thief bots to steal these "$8k NFTs only mine do not steal!!!" and put them on cheap t-shirts
