This beautiful smile needs to leave my heart alone.

Why are all the BP deleted scenes the ones that show some real humanity and love between these characters? I want to talk to the editor right now.

NOPE CAN’T HAVE THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PLOT MAN
libertarirynn
Honestly studios these days are too afraid to make their movies too long so they end up cutting out a lot of humanity to make room for action scenes and plot furtherance forgetting that establishing who these characters are helps us care more about the plot.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yo but like why cut this it’s perfect aaaaaa
Play that funky music white boy
Now this is what I'm talkin about

I can’t stop outdoing myself
Remember that post? The one that said “what if we all have super powers but they’re so mundane we don’t realize?” That post? This is proof that post was right

…And this is why when you’re writing and (being in the heat of composition) you use a “placeholder” term or phrase to mark a spot where you intend to come back and coin something more specific, you make sure to (a) make a note of the placeholder, and (b) actually do the coining in the “cleanup” pass on the submission draft. Otherwise something like “X and Y” may actually make it all the way to press.
(sigh)
And yet X and Y is a believable title for a modern avant garde Klingon opera
sorry i was so weird but you invoked a topic i am incapable of being normal about
Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
I haven’t stopped laughing at this
hmmm… there’s probably an INFINITELY more humane way to do this…
i get that they’re not killing them and they end up fine, but imagine the trauma of you, a mammal, going through a long ass tube, not knowing what’s going to happen to you, and you can’t breathe. 🤷♀️
They get misted with water throughout the thing, and it results in fewer injuries than the ‘ladder’ method. Also, it’s a fish. It never knows what’s going to happen to it at any point in time throughout its life.
Also, I, a mammal, have paid 80 bucks to get into a water park to get the opportunity to feel like that fish, and that motherfucker gets in for free every day is fish day at the fish waterpark
well the MOST humane thing would be to not build dams blocking salmon migration routes, nor create a society where there are only resources allocated to solving the problem at all because blocking the salmon endangers the profits of a segment of the food industry.
Buuuut since we’re past that already, here are a couple of additional thoughts:
1 this IS the more humane alternative, which was invented to lower injury and death rates associated with previous techniques. When a better alternative is revealed it will probably replace this one. But this one is a pretty huge improvement over the other methods, one of which killed off something like 80% of the fish involved. A study of the above fish tube was conducted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratories in 2017 on the Columbia River and showed a much higher success rate. In that study, only one fish died (“due to a human error during the system setup”) and only 3 percent had signs of injury. So. The next best improvement might have to be “remove dam”
2 they are on their way to die. That is where we are helping them get to. That’s the end goal of the salmon’s migration. They on their way to mutate, start rotting alive, have an orgy, and die. That’s where the tube is taking them.
So like, it’s not going to be the weirdest thing they experience this month, is what i’m saying.
thank you for that, @hug-your-face
it’s pride month so it felt appropriate to make screencaps out of the perfect scene in Galavant where an army of gays save the day

oh you think your life is hard? try being a gay rat living in france who hates your dad and just wants to cook
why did this post make me realize there are no female rats in this movie
deathdaydream
actually there is, she has one line at the end when she says “how do you know?”
ok I just skimmed though the movie again, and here she is in the beginning, she just doesn’t say anything, and you wouldn’t guess she was a girl because they didn’t do that weird humanizing, tits and longer eyelashes thing that most movies with animals do.
i’m pretty sure that all the female coded rats are the smaller rats, which is apparently accurate to real rats. Remmy is also really small. after going though the movie I realized that there are only five rats that have actual lines. Remmy, Emile, the dad, the really big bodyguard rat, and the rat at the end. whack.
>girl rats are smaller
>Remmy is smaller
>Remmy is trans
remmy is trans and his father accepts that but not his passion for cooking
loopityboop
remmy: dad i think im a boy
dad: sure son
remmy: also im tired of eating literal rotted garbage
dad: you w h a t
Dad: no daughter of mine is going to cook!
Remmy: actually dad I’m a boy
Dad: thank you for telling me I support you
Dad: NO SON OF MINE IS GOING TO COOK!
Happy birthday, Pete! Hope you’re flying high and partying hard today!

every time i see those posts like ‘what food from a show did YOU always wanna try’ i go lol none? but i just remembered im a liar
i always wanted the fucking soup brock made in the pokemon anime
Hello OP, i don’t have anyway to prove this is the same recipe they make in the shows but i make this to calm my inner kid from wanting the fictional soup:
- 300gr bacon, beef or chicken. A meat of your choice. These go specially well. I prefer chicken tights. Diced
- 1 medium onion, diced.
- Garlic minced (i used 2-4 pieces depending on size)
- 300gr carrot, cleaned, peeled and diced.
- 3 sticks of celery, washed and diced.
- 800gr potato. Washed, peeled diced in quarters.
- 1 head of broccoli.
- 8 cups of stock of your preference. I recommend using the bones of the beef or chicken, but veggies stock works too for a vegetarian or vegan version.
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour.
- 1 cup whole milk. (Almond or rice milk work fine for a vegan option)
- ½ cup heavy cream. (Skip it for a vegan option)
- Salt and black pepper to taste.
- ½ teaspoon paprika, use the spicy one to get the warmth up a notch in winter.
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped coriander. Optional.
- 1 cup diced gouda or manchego cheese. Optional but really ties all together.
Make sure you have all your ingredients ready and at hand for this one to make sure it comes out nice and tasty!!!
- In a pot put water and the bones to prepare your stock (chicken, beef, veggie) You can use premade or bouillon cubes, just make sure its 8 cups worth of broth. In a different pot boil the potatoes until soft.
- In a big pot put some butter or olive oil to fry the onion, when it turns a little transparent add the garlic, move constantly.
- Add the celery and diced carrots, moving constantly.
- The carrot will get a little brighter in color, add the diced meat. Salt and pepper to your taste.
- Meanwhile, blend the potatoes with enough stock so your blender wont have trouble blending. If you have a food processor, it’ll be easier.
- Ad the remaining stock to you big pot with the veggies and meat, add the broccoli chopped in bite size pieces. Add the paprika and taste for salt and pepper. Let over a medium fire for 10 min.
- Separate 3 tbsp of the stock to mix with the flour, set aside. This will be a thickening agent.
- Pour the potato mix on the big pot, move to integrate and taste for salt and pepper.
- Add the milk and heavy cream. Move with a laddle. Have a final taste and let over low fire for 5 min.
- Serve hot and decorate with a pinch of coriander and some cubes of cheese.
- ENJOY!
Notes:
I personally prefer to use chicken, love how it goes with potatoes and veggies. Also the tight is very tender and flavorful. With beef you have to be careful not to overcook it or it’ll get gummy and hard to bite, so make adjustments.
VEGAN: could also skip the meat, cheese and heavy cream for a vegan option.
I make it for my younger sister and she loves it. Instead of meat i add some diced, toasted nuts when served. Cashew, pecan and pistachios work nicely.
You’ll have to use 5 tbsp of flour to thicken up the broth a tid bit more without the heavy cream but you can still use a vegan milk.
You can totally skip the coriander, but it adds another dept of flavor.
Do try it with the cheese tho, i promise it’s GODLY. Gouda and manchego are my fave, the melt nicely and have a strong after taste, but i guess any cheese that melts could work.
Finally, if you are like me and like spicy food you can add chopped chili. Serrano and arbol chiles are my go to’s, freshly chopped sprinkled just after serving my bowl.
Hope y'all give it a try and if you have any doubts do ask!
Provecho!
this is literally the best addition i’ve ever gotten to any of my posts thank you so much
Hey I tried this recipe out and I can confirm that it tastes heavenly!!
Can confirm this soup is absolutely divine!
Substituted spinach for broccoli because my partner is not a fan of the latter and used chicken and bacon. Gonna try it again with a nice Italian sausage in place of the chicken next time.
neurodivergent and queer people how are we feeling?
we are fully crying
wishing someone said that shit to me 30 years ago, when I was fifteen
“Your ancestors are amazed at all your spices!”
“Your ancestors are impressed that you are an educated woman!”
“Your ancestors are proud that you are thriving in spite of what society did to them and you”
It’s all very sweet! But! Necromancy! Is! Still! Illegal! Your ancestors are going back in the ground!
Stop resurrecting them to show off!
Dear descendents, don't listen to the Wizard Council. If things get better, I want to know. I have a list of ancestors we should show up, as well.
