Douglas Adams is the best when it comes to describe characters

they need to teach classes on Douglas Adams analogies okay

“He leant tensely against the corridor wall and frowned like a man trying to unbend a corkscrew by telekinesis.”

“Stones, then rocks, then boulders which pranced past him like clumsy puppies, only much, much bigger, much, much harder and heavier, and almost infinitely more likely to kill you if they fell on you.”

“He gazed keenly into the distance and looked as if he would quite like the wind to blow his hair back dramatically at that point, but the wind was busy fooling around with some leaves a little way off.”

“It looked only partly like a spaceship with guidance fins, rocket engines and escape hatches and so on, and a great deal like a small upended Italian bistro.”

“If it was an emotion, it was a totally emotionless one. It was hatred, implacable hatred. It was cold, not like ice is cold, but like a wall is cold. It was impersonal, not as a randomly flung fist in a crowd is impersonal, but like a computer-issued parking summons is impersonal. And it was deadly - again, not like a bullet or a knife is deadly, but like a brick wall across a motorway is deadly.”

And, of course: “The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”

the one that will always stay with me is “Arthur Dent was grappling with his consciousness the way one grapples with a lost bar of soap in the bath,” i feel like that was the first time i really understood what you could do with words.

I will reblog this every time I see it because these are some of my favorite sentences in the English language.

“Yeah,” said the voice from under the table, “you go to pieces so fast people get hit by the shrapnel.”

80s fantasy movies have a very specific type of feeling to them that modern fantasy cannot replicate because they refuse to do what 80s movies did. Which is take 8 trees, a few puppets, a couple young actors, 1000 pounds of glitter and possibly a live animal stick them on a soundstage and build a dream

I just saw a story on AO3 tagged "pet p!ay"

TIK TOK MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE IT DESTROYS LANGUAGE

Ok, unless something's going on I'm not aware of (extremely likely), I gotta point out the term "Pet Play" is significantly older than Tik Tok, or most of its userbase for that matter.

Yeah, I'm not mad about using the term "pet play". That's a perfectly fine term. I'm mad because they didn't use that term: they used "pet p!ay", a censored version

Oh. Oh gawd I missed that. Objection withdrawn, that is objectively terrible.

To anybody who is new to posting on ao3, if you’re using a tag you have to use the correct spelling of that tag. People aren’t going to type in every version of a censored word to hide or look for your content

i hate you "pair the spares"/"everyone must be paired" tropes, i hate you forced last minute romances, i hate you implication that a happy ending means a romantic partner, i hate you amatonormativity

Neurotypicals will be like “I know you have a disability that affects your ability to stay organized, manage your time properly, socialize, or control what you’re able to think about or focus on, but that’s not an excuse to have trouble staying organized, managing your time properly, socializing, or controlling what you need to think about or focus on.” And then demand that they aren’t ableist. I’m tired.

This is mesmerizing to watch.

actually physically painful to watch because you know months were spent masking all those frames for each of the kajillions of transitions in this

Holy………..shmokes…….

I’ll try my best to describe this. It’s a video with a mash-up of a bunch of different Disney movies, set to a song that’s a mash-up of a bunch of other songs. That in and of itself wouldn’t make it praiseworthy, but this is DONE SO WELL that just, holy cow.

HOLY SHIT

To piggyback off @pomrania: remember the commercials during the Disney renaissance for the Masterpiece Collection? (Holy shit, I’m officially old.)

If they’d had modern levels of computer technology back then, this would have been one of those commercials.

It’s THAT smoothly done.

Also? As a person who’s hard of hearing: while the lip sync isn’t perfect if you know how to lipread, it is DAMN close. Like. This creator literally took the time to match the clips to the lyrics. That by itself is difficult enough, but to then do it AND time the shots to flow seamlessly into each other?

Someday I want someone to love me the way this creator loves Disney, is what I’m saying.

Next. Level.

I read it was good but this is amazing

writers strike + disney continuing to be a deeply weird modern superpower reminded me of back when ducktales 2017 was still airing and the writers revealed that 1. they would never address who was the biological father of huey, dewey and louie because donald duck stepping up to raise them was more important thematically, and 2. the writers wanted to feature mickey mouse in the show as donald’s old buddy who made it as a famous actor and was kinda too successful and out of touch because of it, but disney execs wouldn’t let them because they were worried about tarnishing mickey’s image

with all these newer satiric depictions of mickey as commentary on disney as a company, I feel compelled to share my wildly cursed ducktales 2017 headcanon that the reason mickey wasn’t in the show was because he was the triplets’ deadbeat biological father donald cut off because he refused to pay child support

like, everyone knew, they just ignored him because he was so sucks

still have this old meme edit saved from way back when

good things will happen 🧿

things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿
