goddess help me that bio was terribly out of datešŸ™„
Queer dehydrated theatre professional who should be writing but isn’t
I miss when this site had NSFW content

ā€œIf this hurts my shows I’m gonna riotā€ ā€œthey better not cancel my favorite showā€ ā€œthis is so selfish I NEED this showā€ ā€œwhat about my mental health now that theyā€”ā€œ

So you agree. Show-writers are important to you and to the industry and should be compensated accordingly for their important work.

Put in the tags please if you answered yes lets have fun with this

For example my childhood dog was named Cher after the singer and yes she had a brother named Sunny

Asher is literally named after an Anita Blake character ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ

I made a baby blanket for a pregnant woman at work and I went back and forth about it like ā€œis this weird? To like hand make something for someone when we’re like friendly acquaintances not like bffs. God why are you so fucking awkward.ā€ Anyway I gave it to her and she said she loved it and in the back of my head I’m like yea she’s nice and probably just humoring the weirdo. Well she texted me a picture this weekend of a scrunchy faced newborn at the hospital wrapped in the blanket I made her. And I’m like. Wow. She loved it so much she took it with her! To the hospital! To give birth! She wrapped her newborn it! I am just so filled with love and joy right now.

People will love the things you make them. Because you thought of them and you cared.

I love how the world perceives tumblr as useless platform. No world news here. No algorithm. No verified accounts. Ads are about Pikachu cosplayer and shoelaces. Folks that's exactly how social media should be

way overdue edit: OP too has learned everything regarding international politics through crabs and that meme but doesn't dare to consider these paranormal/parasocial occurrences as mere news. It's a moment, it's a bliss, it's the nightmare of future generations' history textbooks, you had to be there

Very interested to see how tumblr’s usual introduction-adulation-cancellation cycle plays out vis-a-vis Goncharov.

Okay, since nobody asked I will explain further.

Typically, a piece of media can only sustain popularity on tumblr for so long before users begin pointing to its flaws as proof positive that it’s morally bankrupt to engage with said piece of media at all.

Watching Goncharov’s upswing in popularity makes me wonder if it’s cracked the code to circumventing this phenomenon entirely. It may be the perfect piece of media for tumblr as its very nonexistence allows it to remain truly flawless and therefore uncancellable. I guess only time will tell.

Not dying a hero or living long enough to become the villain but a secret third, more hilariously stupid, thing.

"what's tumblr like?" "well currently the majority of the userbase are writing synopses and critiques for a movie dreamt up by an old shoe"

Scorsese’s last film will be to actually gift the masterpiece to us

My dad told me a Queen Elizabeth x 9/11 combo joke but idk if it works in English

It goes something like this

Q: Why can’t Americans play chess against the British anymore?

A: Because the British are missing the queen and the Americans are missing two towers (rooks).

To whoever unfollowed me for this: I didn’t even come up with the joke myself, you should unfollow my dad instead.

A lot of you in the notes seem to desire my dad carnally.

Dark but funny.

everyone’s talking about all of the heart wrenching quotes and scenes from goncharov, but honestly the ambiguity of the ā€œi knew i could never really have youā€ scene will never be surpassed in modern film. both katya and andrey are present in goncharov’s hallucination, and most people assumed he’s talking to katya then, but the quick switch to andrey makes me think it’s both of them? i don’t know

AND DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE ā€œoh. you’ve been shot.ā€ ā€œi could’ve figured that out myself actually.ā€ SCENE I REWATCH THAT WHENEVER I NEED A GOOD LAUGH AND CRY

ā€œOne wrong move and this boat will be sailing for red waters, Goncharov. Tick tock, detectiveā€ Goncharov (1973) Dir. Martin Scorsese

I’ve always loved the imagery in the ā€˜sleeping with the fishes’ scene - so glad ppl are giving this film the love it deserves!

Unpopular opinion: The theatrical cut of Goncharov is the superior cut. The extended runtime of the Director's Cut makes the pacing feel slightly sluggish and doesn't add much in return.

Ok but consider this: the extended cut tells us the names of Icepick Joe's cats

dragon age origins is truly the most Game of all time. we had a sentient tree that spoke in rhymes. an agender rock. a spirit-possessed gilf. sten, who gives you +18 approval points if you argue with him for five minutes. inquisition wanted us to be sated with hot people and pretty environments but i SHAN’T forget

Ok we all love Sofia's interactions with Katya but her and Ice Pick Joe?? Like they only interact directly once onscreen and yet it's so good. The whole conversation is perfect

Like Joe asking what happened to Sofia's leg and her deadpanning "your cats ate it" and he actually LAUGHS? Like come on, how can you not love that

honestly in an ideal world the two of them would’ve ended up in a lavender/friendship marriage, living back in Naples & caring for Joe’s cats together, giving Sofia a safe home for the first time in her life…

Unpopular opinion, I guess, but I actually feel sad for the bird app refugees. I’ve been on here for a decade and I remember how it felt after nipplegate, when so many people were leaving… there’s never another place with a comparable culture, and your friends may not all be there for the same reasons, so everyone ends up scattering and things are never the same. You lose track of some friends forever, and your interactions with others are permanently altered. Your comfortable routine, if you like comfortable routines, is gone. You may eventually find a new home, or you may live on amongst the wreckage of your old one (if that’s an option), but… it still sucks.
