glass onion is set in the first three months of the pandemic and yet the fandom decision is for hugh grant to actually be into baking? my silly little ducks, phillip has never baked in his life before that day

So this little exchange here is Picture-Show-Specific, there’s no equivalent piece of dialogue in the original stage version. Cause the motorcyclists are all actually Frank’s Transylvanian guests, and they are a specifically movie-exclusive element of ‘Rocky Horror’.

The stage show calls the backup dancers ‘phantoms’, and usually treats them as entirely non-diegetic. Like, some productions do dress them up like the film’s Transylvanians (due to the movie and it’s iconography eclipsing the show in popularity) or sorta implies that they’re also part of the castle staff like Riff-Raff and Magenta. But for the most part, any piece of dialogue that implies there’s anyone in the Frankenstein’s Place outside of our main characters is movie-spesific.

(Show)

The movie is hardly grounded in reality, but I guess they decided that non-diegetic backup dancers was a flavor of unreality that only works in theatre - but also they still wanted an actual dancing crowd for like the Time Warp and stuff. So they wrote in the whole idea of the “Annual Transylvanian Convention” and added that line from the Criminologist about how the ‘other guests departed’ after the “I Can Make You a Man” reprise so that the castle is appropriately empty for the rest of the story.

And this is how it hit me, that that exchange about the motorcyclists isn’t just there to, like, foreshadow the Transylvanians and contrast them with Brad and Janet being totally judgemental squares. It also there to plug a movie-spesific plot hole.

Cause if Brad and Janet are in the Frankenstein’s Place just cause their car got stuck, and there’s a bunch of other guests around who leave midway through the story… why didn’t Brad and Janet just ask one of them for a ride back to Denton? Well, that’s because all the Transylvanians ride on motorcycles, and as that exchange clearly establish, Brad and Janet don’t like motorcycles and think they’re dangerous. 

The implications of that are hilarious to me. Like, Brad and Janet could’ve skipped the entire latter half of the plot if only they weren’t such big judgy weenies about motorbikes. 

Something about how it’s canon that Mike and Max shared a math class and they sat next to each other, and how when Mike was listing off their friends in Hawkins to Will in the bedroom scene he said Max’s name first, and how in Max’s flashbacks of “the light” when she was first escaping from vecna one of the memories in there was that first time she and Mike really connected in season 2… madwheeler bonding and becoming best friends between s3 and s4 is SO REAL guys so fucking real

"this reminded me of you" okay and you remind me of my future spouse, let's get married

tumblr could make 1 trillion dollars an hour by setting me up in an office with a beanbag chair and when they need a new feature just poking their heads in and i’d go like “idk let them turn posts into origami”

actually fuck what I just said, it's about the spider legs and telekinesis now

sorry, your boyfriend thought he had beef with me. yeah unfortunately i’m a vegetarian. yeah sorry but i’m not fucking scared of him

I think abt the left 4 dead 2 graffiti so often. Like they really had the human condition nailed huh.

these are tumblr posts

do you though?

isn’t this boring? aren’t you bored of living virtuously for tiktok clout? don’t you want to go apeshit and read some Louis-Ferdinand Céline or, god forbid, Roald Dahl?

wait Roald Dahl is *harmful*????

He had some pretty antisemitic views, yeah, which I’m obviously not a fan of, but at the same time there’s something slightly bizarre to me about tiktokers publicly throwing out their beloved copy of Matilda because they 30 years after his death discover this fact and need to show all their followers that they don’t “support” him

Also, to clarify, the tiktoker quoted above wasn’t specifically talking about antisemitism, they were just going by some seemingly arbitrary list of “problematic” authors they found online, containing among others, Roald Dahl, Margaret Atwood, Sarah J. Maas, Isaac Asimov and Lemony Snicket

Ritually cleansing my bookshelf of problematic authors by dragging it to the nearest Catholic church and apologizing profusely while I feed it into a wood chipper during mass

i allow myself one suicide joke a month because a well-placed “i’m going to kill myself” can be REALLY funny but like for real yall, if you’re suicidal or depressed in any capacity, or even if you aren’t, if you make suicide jokes constantly your brain will internalize it and you will actually want to kill yourself. which you don’t want to do. and if you stop making suicide jokes then you will feel better. same with any kind of self deprecation— stop doing it and you will start to feel better. i’ve been suicidal at several points in my life and i can guarantee you from personal experience that it fucking works. stop making kms jokes every day and your life will improve. and other people get uncomfortable when you make kms jokes constantly. be nicer to yourself

“it’s how i cope” it shouldn’t be. it is the opposite of a coping mechanism. i’m not a psychiatrist or anything but i can guarantee you that joking about killing yourself is not a coping mechanism anyone should be using

this is literally what I have to tell myself when I fall into these thought patterns. It sounds stupid but it works

i thought reigen was the name of a person that all my mutuals were mutuals with???? but its fucking anime???????

"The Temptations of Saint Anthony" by Robert Auer (1917)

you gotta love how whoever painted this clearly was into it. ive seen other depictions of temptation and they are always debauched and demonic and sinister but the painter was like "im going to make it look actually fun for real!"

"whoever painted this" gamer his name is right there
