“clichés are bad” ok then explain showing up bloody or bruised outside your enemy’s door because you didn’t know where else to go

got me there

I know y’all think Ryan clowned next to Blake but let me just say

I will argue that he was just as if not more on theme than her. He’s so far one of only a few men to actually wear a period appropriate suit that is to the dress code required!!

White tie events are the most formal events in Western/British culture and you bet ur ass the Met Gala is a white tie event— yet men rarely dress to this level because it isn’t what the general public wants or is aware of.

Not only that but his suit is mid-gilded age. The styling of the waistcoat with the pocket watch, the lapel and shoulder cut, the only modern aspects of it are the collar of his shirt and the lack of buttons on his jacket (but then again he’s allowed some personal taste).

In accordance with white tie formal, his suit is black but the material adds even more glamour, black velvet. Most men do just the front of the jacket and some silk or wool on the back/lapel with maybe their pants being the same (often cheaper). But his WHOLE SUIT is black velvet. Of course this prevents a nice front pleat that’s common in white tie suits, but due to the luxurious nature of velvet it is worth it because it comes off as even more extravagant and tasteful, a seamless transition from top to bottom (which a lot of suits struggle with)

And finally, a semi gloss black saddle boot with a tasteful gold wrist watch add enough luxury in a whispering way— making a lovely contrast to Blakes outfit.

He’s not dressed in competition with her, but rather in compliment. His suit is a warm black, which works beautifully with Blake’s color pallet, and the way velvet reflects light prevents any unwanted reflective shimmers from Blake so every photo together will look good and flattering. He’s her arm candy, in a way, by being well-dressed and complimentary without demanding equal attention. Because Blake lively is known for her Met Gala looks, and that is clearly important to her, so he supports her enthusiasm by simply being a perfect pair.

“When people say they just want ‘good stories’ and no politics of ‘SJW’ issues in their entertainment — what they are saying is that when they were kids, they completely missed the subtext of every story, movie, comic book, etc. they took in. These stories have always been political.
“Superman is a story of an immigrant coming to America, and we’re all stronger by him being here. Spider-Man is about using your power to benefit everyone, not just yourself. Star Wars is anti-authoritarian, Star Trek is a socialist utopia driven by exploration and science. Harry Potter is about racism, and the idea of ‘genetic superiority,’ and the insane idea of being better than someone else by the virtue of your birth. These ideas are not even subtext — they’re right in your damn face, if you bother to open your eyes.
“If anyone ever tells you that these new stories and movies have ‘forced diversity’ or are pushing ‘Liberal Agendas’ — what they are telling you is they missed everything about what made the stories they do like — great.
“Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, X-Men, Wonder Woman, on and on and on — these are political / ‘SJW’ stories. And the message, if you were paying attention at all is one of inclusion, deep compassion for your fellow man, and social justice.”

Hey, if you were in the UK in 1994 around Christmas, and you grabbed a ride towards Scotland in a black van, and in the back of the van there was a body in a coffin, a lady with a fiddle, and another lady with a newborn, and everyone was in weirdly high spirits, and you eventually had to bail just kinda in the middle of nowhere and you hopped off and disappeared into the night, can you let me know if you’re alright? 

I was the newborn and I’m really worried about you.

(Can folks share this post? I legitimately want to find this stranger, I have so many questions, and I think they do as well.)

Now with some corrections according to the lady with the fiddle!

THERE IS AN EXPLANATION. I’m so sorry for what ended up being a teaser of a post, but there is a story and it’s not INCREDIBLY WEIRD I promise.

Basically, around the time I was born one of my uncles was dying. I’ve been told that he saw how poetic it was, and that holding newborn me helped a little bit. But soon after I was born he passed away.

Now I don’t know all the details, and some of what I know might be wrong, it was 23 years ago now and I was a newborn but parts of the family (including my mum and a couple of my extended cousins) were transporting his body to Edrom, Scotland. My cousin had this van that was a huge part of her entire persona, so we loaded it up, everyone was settled, and away we went!

Everyone has their own way of dealing with loss, and if I’m entirely honest at least most of my family are the most interesting people I know. So it was kind of a really jaunty trip, everyone was in high spirits, and it was a long drive. We had to stop to refuel, it was quite late at night, and there was some bloke who wanted to hitch a ride (or we offered him a ride). Either way, we had a hitchhiker.

Now, if my cousin remembered it right, she did disclose that we had a body in the back. He was in his coffin but still. Mysterious Stranger assured that it was no problem, he’s seen a body before, it’s late, he just wants to get where he’s going.

So, the Weirdly Cheerful Road Trip continued with this new person! And I suppose it was just… too weird. Because at some point he just kinda demanded that we stop the van, he hopped out, and just… left.

And to be fair, if you managed to grab a lift with a small group of strangers with a body in a coffin, and everyone is just singing and having a grand ol’ time, it would be a bit unnerving to say the least. I certainly don’t blame him for needing to bail. But I hope he’s ok and he got where he needed to go. And now I’ve cast this frightfully specific weird post into the internet in the hope of maybe finding that person so I can be reassured that they’re ok, and they can be assured that we’re not dangerous folks. We’re just eccentric.
