Alfie Allen on the evolution of Theon’s voice

“I’m sure I’ve heard somewhere that when a person is being held captive or has been in some sort of extreme situation, your voice can just change completely. So one thing I was trying to do for the whole series was bring the voice back and forth in terms of that bravado that he once had back in the previous seasons. I wanted to make the voice a bit more honest and a bit more genuine and maybe vulnerable. And the voice coach who was doing it with me actually came up to me and said, I can see what you’re doing and I really, really like it. So that was great.” — Alfie Allen on post-Reek Theon’s voice 

Some examples:

Season 1

Season 2

Now, let’s compare his voice in the early seasons with Theon’s voice in season 6…

kids these days with their favorite character as their lockscreens… when I was a youth you had to carefully arrange all your favorite anime pictures on a word document and print it out to carefully slip inside the plastic sleeve of your three ring binder

this just unlocked repressed memories in my brain

This is cutting out pictures from tigerbeat/j-13 and tape/gluing them to your composition notebook erasure

… will anything ever be so detailed, meticulous, and all-consuming as our middle school selves drawing anime eyes

brah

Shoutout to the U.S. embassies in Austria, Chile, India, and South Korea who have directly ignored orders from the Trump administration in flying the pride flag

They’ve found really clever workarounds, as they were banned from flying the pride flag on the flag pole. 

They aren’t ignoring orders: they are obeying the orders to the exact letter.

Malicious compliance

Also in Mexico City they couldn’t fly the flag but they didn’t said anything about a picture of a flying flag ❤️

chaotic good

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S FIRST FILM SOLELY PRODUCED BY THEIR STUDIO HAD TWO FEMALE CHARACTERS AS THEIR ANTAGONIST AND PROTAGONIST WHO, BY SOME FORM OF DEVIL MAGIC, HAVE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FACES

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S SECOND FILM NOT ONLY CONSISTED OF A CAST WITH FOUR CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTERS BUT INCLUDED AN ENTIRE TOWN OF DIVERSE CITIZENS OF VARYING RACE, GENDER, AND AGE. LIKE A NORMAL TOWN HAS.

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S THIRD FILM FEATURED SAME SEX COUPLES IN THEIR TEASER TRAILER

REMINDER THAT THIS IS ALL STOP-MOTION SO EVERY CHARACTER WAS DESIGNED, MODELED, SCULPTED, RIGGED, AND EVEN HAD TINY CLOTHES SEWED FOR THEM.

also reminder that they make chump change compared to disney who whines and cries that in all their years of experience they can’t handle the prospect of animating a girl with a face different than the rest and that it’s “too hard” because only females can express such a wide range of emotions that it makes them difficult to animate

if a studio with 20-30 years of experience can manage this then SURELY an established studio with NEAR 100 YEARS of experience can maybe, just maybe, include a female that ISN’T a part of their formula

LAIKA !

Also paranormal had a canonically gay guy in it just saying

I feel the 16ft tall skeleton from Kubo certainly deserves a mention

Laika are goddamn ARTISTS and MASTERS OF THEIR CRAFT. Look at the animation on Kubo and tell me it doesn’t feel more like CGI than stop motion sometimes because it’s so smooth.

I love them so much.

odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”

Oðinn spake:

Bright the sun shone | at the time of Þor’s birth, And bathed his count'nance fair. Loki, wolf-father, | the trickster, the liar, I found on the cold pavement While returning in glory | from a grand hunt For a 3 AM quesadilla.

@damn-fuck-i-burnt-myself-again

I need this framed on my wall it’s so beautiful. 

@theshitpostcalligrapher

ay @systlin hmu

@systlin

My husband complained that this was more Shakespeare than Eddas, and I challenged him to do better.

Solen sken, skönt gyllene

Dagen Tor föddes

På trottoaren, vid Taco Bell

Där låg Loke

—KJN

My translation:

The sun shone, sweet golden

The day of Tor’s birth

On the tarmac, by Taco Bell

There lay Loki

(For poetry reasons, Thor needs the Swedish spelling.)

@bold-sartorial-statement

ay yo show ur husband 

@bold-sartorial-statement no but hang on this should be in runes: 

(oops spot the typos)

i wanna translate this into icelandic so imma do it 

Sólin skein, björt og gullin við fæðingu Þórs á stígnum við Taco Bell Þar lá Loki

The amount of quality going into these shitposts is amazing

This is not shitposting, this is transformative work!

so fun fact yall. A certain someone splurged out the cash to get this remastered with illumination, what do yall think?

@thewitchofthenorse look at this gem 😭😂

me, every time my 11 o clock alarm goes off: oh fuck oh god gotta get to sleep before the curfew police catches me

every night is a fight between life and death

Oh my god I love him

P r e c i o u s 💛⚡

gay pride cat

someone teach me how to draw bears

Like this

i am a gay man unfortunately. this is still very sweet

friendly reminder that…

when the only poc in a character lineup is an antagonist, that has very racist implications whether they’re intentional or not. while representation matters and is important, it only counts when it’s positive representation. representing a marginalized group of people only through an antagonist, villain, or otherwise unlikeable character is negative representation, and might be harmful to the community you’re representing.

Just asking the important questions

FACTS

Full Recap

i think about this a lot

yup. 

I’d follow Sansa’s Snapchat 👀

When Safety Is Optional

Gay and same-sex couples can have messy breakups. 

LGBT people can be in messy relationships where there is screaming, crying, and angry nights. 

LGBT people can hate their exes and be in toxic and/or abusive relationships. 

LGBT people are people. 

Having a messy breakup, hating your ex, etc. isn’t some “hetero bullshit uwu”. It’s people bullshit. People can get angry, petty, jealous, etc. and LGBT people are no different. 

We are human. We make mistakes. Our lives aren’t perfect. Our relationships are not always perfect. 

And there is nothing wrong with that. 

bringing this ‘round in honor of pride month

Keep acting like messy relationships are “hettie shit” and you’ll be making other, younger LGBT kids think they’ll never have relationship issues ever, and they’ll end up unprepared for when it happens

And they end up in denial or having an even harder time leaving abusive and toxic relationships because they’ve been convinced and have convinced themselves that LGBT+ relationships and people cannot, in any way, be abusive or toxic because ~they aren’t like those gross hets~
