Thorin coming home in a bad mood because an ancient dwarf lord thinks He Knows Better, and the next day the said Lord gets a food poisoning. There are no susspects. Someone makes snide remarks about hobbits and their weapons get mysteriously stolen. They both just executing revenge on whoever offends the other one.

omg and people slowly learn. During meeting sometimes things get agitated and a bit out of control, voices are raised and fists pound the tables but they hear this tiny ‘clink’ and look over to see Bilbo is taking a sip of tea and has that look on his face that is perfectly calm, except that somehow it isn’t, and everyone slowly returns to their sits because there are stories, rumors that advice against angering the Consort and no one knows if they’re actually true but no one wants to be the one to figure it out.

oh and saying something mean about hobbits (or even insinuating it) in front of Thorin/anyone from the company is just a huge no-no. Terms in contracts become inflexible, parties are thrown and the offenders are not invited (the invitation must have gotten lost!), weapons disappear mysteriously (thorin probably gives this task to Fili, Kili and Nori) and just. Imagine them taking serious notes on how hobbits deal with annoying family members in the Shire and using those ways in the court, because they can’t really just cut connections with everyone, but they can make their message very clear without giving them strong, concrete reasons to turn hostile with Erebor.

It’s so great because they both influenced each other, Thorin learning a more diplomatic approach to things that he didn’t really had to bother that much with before (if he did I guess he left it to Balin, mostly), and Bilbo, who became more upfront and unlikely to deal with people’s bullshit for the sake of ‘politeness’, standing up and confronting counselors/dignitaries when they’re becoming an annoyance and are not allowing negotiations to continue

In Jurassic world when the pterodactyl picked up and threw down the baby triceratops I saw the exact moment I’d risk my life to save a baby dinosaur and try to fight a full fucking grown pterodactyl

[ at the shareholder meeting where indominus rex was pitched ]
them: bigger. scarier. more teeth.
me: cool idea, but 3 words: Mini Dino Land™

What also pissed me off is that Owen's and Claire's romance came out of fucking nowhere? Owen had more chemistry with the raptor! He wasn't even a lovable douche, he was just a douche what with that constant negging. Just so cringy to watch.

He reminded me of my douchey ex-boyfriend who thought he was way more charming than he really was.

Although if me and that ex ever got attacked by a swarm of pterosaurs, he would’ve at least had the sense not to try and make out with me in the middle of it.

The one bit of the film I did kinda like, from a feminist perspective, was the control room staff when the woman was being evacuated and the guy chose to stay behind and he went to give her a dramatic - movie-cliché - kiss… and she stepped back and was like, “Uh, no, I have a boyfriend.”

And when he said “Oh, you’ve never really mentioned him,” she was like, “Well, no, I’m at work.”

THAT I liked. Even though it was played for laughs, I liked the fact that the female wasn’t just going to swoon for the nearest guy because it’s a dramatic moment and that she has a life outside of work and that yeah, she doesn’t bring it up at work because it’s WORK and she’s being professional.

Yup! And the article I posted even mentioned that as being a great moment for women in the movie.

we all need to collectively unlearn the idea that certain achievements (i.e. graduating college, getting a job, moving out, etc) only count if they’re achieved by a certain age or within a “normal” time frame.

going through life at your own pace does NOT equate laziness or failure.

accomplishments don’t have an expiration date.

The queen began to see familiar faces. A bald man with bushy side-whiskers frowned down from a window with her father’s frown, and for an instant looked so much like Lord Tywin that she stumbled. A young girl sat beneath a fountain, drenched in spray, and stared at her with Melara Hetherspoon’s accusing eyes. She saw Ned Stark, and beside him little Sansa with her auburn hair and a shaggy grey dog that might have been her wolf. Every child squirming through the crowd became her brother Tyrion, jeering at her as he had jeered when Joffrey died. And there was Joff as well, her son, her firstborn, her beautiful bright boy with his golden curls and his sweet smile, he had such lovely lips, he… that was when she fell the second time.

We know that the majority of the clitoris is internal and that the external nub is just the tip of the iceberg, but you’d be hard-pressed to find that information in a sexual health textbook.

In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find many mentions of the clitoris at all in a sexual health textbook.

heyooooooo

I have so many feelings about this.

“Particularly prone to serious procrastination problems are children who grew up with unusually high expectations placed on them…or else they exhibited exceptional talents early on, and thereafter “average” performances were met with concern and suspicion from parents and teachers.”

Holy SHIT

WELL THEN

Yep.

They actually tested me for a learning disability in high school because I was consistently failing math.

They discovered that I actually scored in the 80th percentile in that sort of learning.

Problem was, in every other subject, I was in the 99.8th percentile.

I had never learned how to study because I never needed to—and then, when something proved to be even the slightest bit challenging, my brain went

“LOL nope this is impossible abort”

Meanwhile, this entire time I’m scraping by in subjects like English. The assignments I did turn in, I’d score top marks—but I’d avoid turning in projects I didn’t think were “good” enough.

Essentially, my brain had two settings: “100%” or “0%”.

This sort of Baby Genius shit makes kids and adolescents neurotic and self-destructive.

We learned about this in Child Development. And we learned to reward hard work and not good job. Like don’t say to a child, “oh you are so smart.” Say “Oh did worked so hard.” Be proud of the child, not the achievement.
