DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES 2023, dir. Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley
obsessed w internet speak but specifically these two recent inventions:
1. statement (directly contradictory statement)
ie: “i’m normal now (lying)” or something like. “doing homework (scrolling tumblr).” it’s like a text version of looking directly at the camera. sarcasm but slightly to the left. amazing
2. wacky thought <- reactionary/self aware comment
it’s like?? the closest thing i can think of is movies where the characters break the fourth wall to pause the show and talk to you about it? like emperors new groove or lion king 1 1/2? self aware ironic kinda talk show-esque. whatever it is it’s brilliant.
love the way we’re bulldozing english keep it up team
The breadsticks thing to me is hilarious I think it must be another Europe/America thing bc my whole life ‘breadsticks’ have been these hard crunchy thin stick things you buy them at the supermarket and it says breadsticks on the box Never in my life has anyone around me referred to an actual stick of bread as a breadstick lmao But then we don’t have Olive Garden either
samfuckingvimes
wait, that’s not what they’re talking about?

Are you telling me this meme is not about grissini? My life is a lie!
I… did wonder why there would be such a focus on going to somewhere with unlimited dry wheat twigs. Googling ‘olive garden breadsticks’ does seem to suggest a tastier thing.
Huh.
this changes everything

I mean, I thought it was odd that they everyone was so excited about breadsticks… but then I thought, well, it’s America…
Wait they’re talking about actual bread???
grissini:
breadsticks:
… I want American breadsticks. ;_;

Omfg same
wtaf why did nobody ever tell us they were talking about actual bread?!?!
We literally did tell you. We. We used the word BREAD.
but………… those aren’t breadsticks!
They are sticks.
Of bread.
🤷♂️

We didn’t know you had breadtwigs instead.
OH the joke is funnier than previously thought because those are bigger and therefore it would be harder and more socially awkward to shove them into your purse! Lol
I feel like this is explaining a joke to Vulcans who are totally game to try humor, and I’m loving it.

my daughter texted this to me with 'i had a realization abt myself today'
[Image Description: A version of the 'omg hi!' meme. In the first frame, heavy gray clouds are visible through an outline drawing of an open door, and inside the room there is a kneeling stick figure facing away from the door, obscured by dark scribbles nearly covering the whole room. There is white text on a black background floating over the stick figure's head, which reads: "the world is a loveless and terrible place and i will never feel joy ever again, food is worthless for anything other then fuel and sleep is a hollow void of nothing and i have forgotten what happiness feels like." In the second frame, a smiling cartoon sun in a clear sky with a couple of puffy clouds are visible through the open door. The black scribbles are completely gone, and the stick figure is standing, facing the door with its arms open wide and pink blushing cheeks. Black text floating over its head reads: "omg its the sun!!! hi!!!"

SJM is... a bad writer.
She is constantly recycling plots and characters because she's just not that creative. Feyre was a blank slate throughout the entire ACOTAR series, just letting the men around her project a shiny new personality onto her. But Aelin and Bryce and Rowan and Hunt and Rhys and literally every other angry, angsty, powerful male love interest are all the exact same character. She physically cannot write different kinds of characters, hence why Nesta was beaten into submission and made into a warrior and why we hardly ever some of the most interesting characters (Lucien, Eris, The River Queen's Daughter (she doesn't even get a name??), HYPAXIA). Nesta was her chance to do something new with a type of character she wasn't used to and she botched it HARD.
But actually what makes her a truly bad writer is how she is ALWAYS CHANGING HER BOOKS. The first book of ACOTAR is a completely different book from the rest, the setting felt more uncanny fae and strange, terrifying ancient magic and an evil queen. The rest of the series is just... generic fantasy with generic magic. ToG also changes it's plot and tone entirely half way through the series. The two Crescent City books might as well be standalones taking place in alternate universes.
SJM does not allow the reader to form their own opinion. If she likes something you have to like it too. If she hates something you have to hate it too. Tamlin's character was killed in broad daylight because she couldn't have anyone thinking that there was anyone better for Feyre than Rhys. She tried so hard to make the River Queen's Daughter seem like an unlikable spoiled brat (when really Tharion came across as a useless jackass for how he treated her just because he felt like he was shackled to her, which was HIS FAULT BTW). And she wanted everyone reading ACOSF to think that Nesta was being a willful bitch and the IC were doing her a favor.
Recycled plots. ACOSF is the same plot as ACOMAF. Both women "healing" from trauma and training with their mates while traveling around Prythian to collect ancient artifacts from the Cauldron that only they can find because they were Made. Both women are paraded around the Court of Nightmares for no reason other than to make them look sexy. Nesta deserved better than Feyre's plot hand-me-downs.
Sorry for the rambling I just had to say this.

Can't believe this. There are email chains that take literal WEEKS that can be resolved in a single ten minute conversation. Every email that enters my inbox is my enemy. And 57 percent of you are wrong.

now seems as good of a time as ever to tell the internet about "vanilla extract friends," which is a phrase I made up to describe friends who are great but only in small doses and certain contexts.
like, that friend who you can talk to about a specific fandom you're both in and absolutely nothing else.
that friend you can go out to lunch with maybe once a month and have a great time but any more and it's just Too Much.
that friend who's helped you through some really difficult emotional shit but whom you can never, ever discuss politics with without having it end in tears.
vanilla extract friends!
