~ previously thekillianjones/rogermackenzie ~ semi-hiatus ~ Multi-fandom but mostly Marvel + NBC Comedies ~ I make gifs and sometimes other stuff. I'm always going to complain about tags, reposters, and people who don't put sources

me using a vpn I pay for (app 1) to be able to download an hd version of something i want to gif (downloading it via app 2) screen capping the specific scene I want using another app (app 3), opening up photoshop (app 4 i also pay for) as my pc fan sounds like it’s going to take off into outer space at any second, uploading the frames into scripts, reversing the screencaps, turning it into video timeline, cropping the scene, resizing the scene, sharpening the scene, spending literal hours over colorings, adding text if i wish which depending on the complexity could take more time, and repeating the process all over depending on how many gifs are in a single set just for it to get 93 likes and 10 reblogs, be saved and uploaded to twitter / pinterest / instagram without credit and on top of all that tumblr decides to yeet the quality

“Beauty was your armor. Fragile stuff, all show. But what’s inside you? That’s steel. It’s brave and unbreakable. And it doesn’t need fixing.” - Ruin and Rising

“We are soldiers,” David recited, low and shaky. He was unused to speaking in front of a crowd. “I will march with you in times of war. I will rest with you in times of peace. I will forever be the weapon in your hand, the fighter at your side, the friend who awaits your return.” His voice grew stronger and louder with every word. “I have seen your face in the making at the heart of the world and there is no one more beloved, Genya Safin, brave and unbreakable.”

The vow rang through the chapel. Genya’s face was shining, as if those words had kindled some secret light. Tolya, towering over the bride and groom, set a thorn-wood crown upon David’s head and then one upon Genya’s, as Vladim said the blessings. - Rule of Wolves

And there’s a hesitation. Bill hesitates because he’s looking, he’s just suddenly seeing how handsome this man is, standing there in the light.  And that’s something that Frank’s brain is incredibly attuned to.  It’s that fast.  There’s a moment there, if you watch that scene again, where he kind of smiles. And he smiles because in his mind, he’s like: I got you, I know you. And from that point forward, it was about, in my mind, about Frank thinking to himself: look, maybe I get lunch and I move on, I don’t know, but let’s just see where this goes.

Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann talking about the first moment Frank realizes that Bill is gay, on the HBO TLOU podcast

“Danielle was in my apartment and told me about a party she was planning where everyone in the cast has to dress up like someone else in the cast. Naturally, she gave me Amita and for the next few days I scrambled to find a way to make that work. A very serious conversation with Freddy comes to mind where he generously offered style advice and thanked God he had gotten Kit. A couple days later, I showed up to Danielle’s apartment only to realize everyone had actually dressed up as me. It was obviously surprising and ridiculous and hilarious, but also it came at a time where I desperately needed something like this. Danielle set up a whole party themed around me because she’s an angel, and all the cast was there and giving love. It’s difficult to put into words what that meant to me at the time, but it was everything.”

I've seen this before, but it's been years and it just came across my Twitter in its dying days. The words are from a favorite author of mine, Maggie Stiefvater, and they are the words I most need to hear when it comes to dealing with chronic pain and illness. I didn't need this the first time I saw it, six years ago. I need it now. Maybe you do, too.

We tampered with the stability of spacetime. Multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little. The problem is you trying to live two different lives. The longer you do it, the more dangerous it becomes. Be careful what you wish for, Parker. ↳ SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME (2021) dir. Jon Watts

the whole “i’m an evil monster because i have to kill and eat innocent people to survive :’(” angst in ‘regular human gets turned into supernatural monster’ stories is so stupid. like how is that even a problem??? there are also plenty of corrupt billionaires, abusers and cops out there for you to snack on

everybody’s like “eating the rich is the only ethical consumption under capitalism” until they actually have the opportunity to actually eat the rich 🙄 smh

what we do in the shadows is the only one that Gets It

you guys need to watch santa clarita diet. a woman suddenly only desires human flesh, so in order to fix it, her and her (wonderful, loving) husband find nazis, men’s rights activists and anyone else with immoral values for her to kill violently and then eat 

it’s great
