Also, guess I'll include the deets: Fluid/poly/panromantic/demi/26/currently stuck in the US oh and I've now got a lovely side blog for all my kpop fan stuff @ryudeistanning
The amount of serotonin it gave me to watch this grandma react to her new galaxy light 🥺

It’s dark in here- *gasps in excitement* OHH SARAH!

OHH SARAH! *giggles like a little kid* OHhHhH!!

My ceiling is filled with blue lights… and stars and everything!!

OH Sarah! I can go to bed at night looking at this. OHHHH it’s beautiful!

ppl forget the innocence of the elderly… if there was ever a glimpse of them as a child, this is it

“I can go to bed at night looking at this!” 🥺✨

I love grandmothers. I miss mine every single day. This is beautiful.

I have one! I’ll deadass be in my room with it on listening to music and disassociating for hours 😂

It has a buncha colors but these are my faves

Purple bc insanely gorgeous 100/10 just beautiful

Then the light blue/green makes me feel like I’m underwater, 11/10 love to imagine I’m drowning

And then dark blue bc it feels like I’m in space, 10/10 would love to go there and stop breathing

hot take: 

Gloin is the sexiest dwarf by dwarf standards.

Kili is the sexiest dwarf by elf standards.

Thorin is the sexiest dwarf by human standards

& Bombur is the sexiest dwarf by hobbit standards

further take: Kili is straight-up ugly by dwarf standards. Thorin is like, the dwarf equivalent of Benedict Cumberbatch. Some dwarves think he’s an absolutely dreamboat, others think he is super weird looking, there’s very little middle ground.

omg now i’m like. what does this make frodo by hobbit standards

by hobbit standards, I’m afraid Frodo is probably. not conventionally attractive at all.

Frodo is the sexiest hobbit by elf standards

@femmefaramir this is some fucking galaxy brain level tags and im crying out of sheer horror

Angst fics can help people come to terms with their own grief, begin healing, or give people that good cry that they need.

Smut fics can help people affirm and accept their sexuality. It can help them explore their sexuality in a safe way. They can also just be fun, and having fun is a drastically undervalued way to improve your mental health.

Dark fics can help people face their fears or process their trauma. It can make them feel safer and more secure. It can help them find their courage.

Fluff fics can give people rest and respite and comfort. It can give them hope that soft places exist and that maybe there is one out there for them. It can bring up their mood, which, if they have depression, can be a life saver.

And every fic people write makes someone feel less alone.

Point being, just because a particular thing doesn’t serve you, doesn’t mean it lacks value.

This is not to say that we have to consume all fic uncritically. Of course not. It is just to say that entire “genres” aren’t trash or lacking value just because they don’t serve you.

yes!

kaiba made it real weird real fast but yami kept him in line

im glad this post is getting notes because it still makes me laugh

“kaiba my friends were kidnapped what the fuck bruh”

Kaiba is living alone in his own separate more intensely anime universe than everyone else

My favourite thing about Gong Yoo is he does almost zero press, comes out of his lair like once every three to five years to star in a drama and win all the daesangs and still every time he breaks the internet over whatever project he's in. Coffee Prince is to this day one of the most iconic, forward k-dramas ever made. Goblin is STILL in the top 10 dramas with highest ratings of all time and it aired well before Netflix invested the big money in korean shows. I don't even need to mention the impact Train to Busan has had all across the globe. And now my man does a five minute cameo in a show, doesn't show up again, and the whole internet is immediately losing it (as is proper and right). Five minute cameo. Gong Yoo more like King Midas - everything that man touches is gold.

This made me think about how Gong Yoo is SO appropriate for the salesman in Squid Game because the man is in every commercial for everything in Korea, all the time, for years now. My water filter? My grocery delivery? My mix coffee? My podcast app? Gong Yoo. And it WORKS. We are all simping for this hot salesman.

When Juwon comes into town early in ep1 and asks Chief Nam who his partner is going to be, I think he fully intended to mine this future partner for info that would incriminate and further confirm to him that Dongsik is the culprit.

But you can't tell me that Chief Nam didn't pretend his computer died just then because he already fully intended to pair this city boy with his 'dear Dongsik' because Chief Nam always pairs the newbie with Dongsik.

He knows Dongsik has a reputation and he didn't want to deal with a temper tantrum.

@unexpected-nightview with the important tags:

Nam Sangbae: Where is that paperwork already?
Dongsik (smacking the computer): Oh noooo, it's not working, whatever shall I do?
Nam Sangbae: Don't even try it, I'm the one who taught you that!

beyond evil being helmed by a female writer (kim soo-jin) and a female director (shim na-yeon) simply tells you a lot about the show honestly. shim na-yeon knew exactly what kim soo-jin wanted when she wrote the drama, especially when it came to kim's sole purpose of making the story about the victims and not the serial killer or the crime in general.

as said by many people, directing these type of storylines could easily be swayed into a some sort of murder porn, or providing humanity into the killer by adding in sentimental shots when filming them which would then utterly defeat the writer's intentions. but shim na-yeon kept that in mind when she directed 16 episodes of this drama. not once did she ever strayed from this. during the scene where ds and jw were interrogating * shim mentioned how she tried hard to focus the cameras mainly on jwds and not * because it was simply unnecessary for us to listen to * when they talked about the murders. they simply didn't deserve to be heard or seen because their story didn't matter. this decision may seem trivial and overlooked by viewers but it was so important to the message kim tried to relay.

and then there is the writing itself, there's dongsik's line

and how it's not exactly common to find stories where it is outrightly expressed that sex workers are human at the end of the day, because they are usually sidelined, especially through the perspective of a male character. there's the characters constantly bringing up the names of the victims in each episode because we should never forget their names, and this is just kim's way of reminding us we should always say the names of those who've lost their lives simply because the world didn't try hard enough to protect them. there's juwon and his pure intentions behind solving the case; to bring justice to the victims and especially lee geum-hwa, the woman he'd led to her death. we see him visiting the morgue in the middle of the series because he knew no one would collect her body. throughout the drama, he remembered her, he tried hard to be punished by the law for her death and each time he made sure to bring up her name even though the officers didn't give it a single thought. he never ceased to emphasise on her importance and it's one of the things i truly respect him for besides his immense character development. we also have jihwa's firm dialogue regarding the killer

and that this is the most transparent way of kim relaying her message.

just to clarify, i am not boiling down kim soo-jin and shim na-yeon's talents to their gender or in any way appreciating them as a creator in the industry simply because they're female. they are truly worthy to be praised as a whole for the justice they've brought to this show regardless of whether they're a woman or a man. but when it comes to shows or any piece of media riddled with crime, there's a stark contrast with how male directors bring out their visions in terms of the killer and the murders compared to female ones.

tldr: kim soo-jin deserved every single bit of the baeksang award for best screenplay and shim na-yeon deserved the nomination and having her name displayed to the world in such a way.

The Pistol Shrimp is capable of snapping it’s claw shut so rapidly, that it creates a bubble which collapses to produce a sonic blast, louder than a corncode's sonic boom ,The imploding bubble for split seconds also generates temperates of 4400°C nearly as hot as the Sun ,video cr: BBC EARTH

Stunning!
