So I have officially moved blogs. I will not give out my new url here because I want a fresh start with a new name as well. I will not delete this blog, I will keep queuing stuff so it will be active. Consider this to be an archive of my posted stuff and resources. you may send asks and refer to me as kamala here.

a request to people who know my new blog url: kindly do not reveal it to anyone please, no matter who it is. if someone is asking they themselves maybe are the reason why i chose to do this.

people hate on twilight but it is THE only movie ive ever watched where the 17 year olds actually act like 17 year olds, complete with awkward silences and overall dumbassery. nobody is smooth or clever at all, everyone is uncomfortable, half of bellaโ€™s responses to anything that happens to her areย โ€œumโ€ and tbh thatโ€™s true to life! thatโ€™s cinematic realism baby like it or not

I feel like nobody talks about this but remember Jayโ€™s โ€œjob interviewโ€ in the original Men in Black movie? Sure, they play it for comedy, heโ€™s a smartass cop surrounded by all these elite military graduates. But he was also literally the only one in the room smart enough to bring the table over so he had something to write on. And he offers it to the other guys too!

And in the shooting test, on the surface it just seems like a goofy joke when he shoots the little girl cutout in the head, but look at the way he responded to the situation.

The test starts immediately without any warning, we can see that everyone is caught off guard. The other candidates immediately open fire on what they perceive to be threats, but Jay takes a second to assess the situation. He sees he isnโ€™t in any immediate danger, and in a handful of seconds heโ€™s able to scope out several minor details about the targets and hit one with a near-perfect headshot. Jay showed he was an innovative, quick thinker with situational awareness, attention to detail and high-level marksmanship skills, and they never say it outright but I think thatโ€™s probably why Zed picked him. (Zed never actually says anything negative about Jayโ€™s performance, just that he has a problem with authority.)

This is highly underrated writing but, then again, this is also the movie where Tommy Lee Jones saysย โ€œA person is smart. Peopleย are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago, everybody knew Earth was the centre of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat and 15 minutes ago, you knew humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what youโ€™ll know tomorrow.โ€

Listen if you outright ignore the opinions and research of psychiatric and psychological professionals in favour of pearl clutching and threatening people with bodily harm and imprisonment... I really think you need to rethink your priorities. I don't care what the topic is about or how bad it upsets your delicate moral constitution.

I honestly donโ€™t know how to tell you these shocking facts but fucked up things in stories were not invented by AO3

I literally saw that someone replied to a post that talked about content in public libraries saying that that content should be regulated as well and Im just like when your statement canโ€™t be distinguished from something a Southern Baptist pastor would say you really need to take a hard look at what kind of belief system youโ€™ve let yourself fall into.

When fiction deals with difficult material (as it almost inevitably will) and itโ€™s available for public consumption, you have the choice to ban anything controversial or teach people from a young age how to analyse and interpret literature and media. Only the second option builds valuable thinking skills and is actually possible.

โ€œWhereโ€™s your carrd?โ€ย 

โ€œI canโ€™t find your DNI.โ€ย 

โ€œI know you listed your race, age, gender, and sexuality but how come you didnโ€™t also list your triggers, your diagnoses, and your traumas?โ€

โ€œIf youโ€™re shipping to cope, why donโ€™t you tell everyone what youโ€™re coping WITH?โ€ย 

Ah, well, Entitled Randoms, thatโ€™s very simple. See, Iโ€™m an adult. A grown-up who votes and pays taxes and is getting a masterโ€™s degree. And I inhabit reality as well as social media. So, I donโ€™t feel the need to violate my own privacy for the amusement and satisfaction of strangers.ย 

In the subversive masterpiece Avengers: Endgame (2019), directors Anthony and Joe Russo made the bold artistic choice to film scenes with a camera, which is why you can see things on the screen.

this is how marvel fans talk about the movies
