I'm Caleb (He/him). Hi! I'm a gay English dude who has no idea what's fucking going on. Tune in for a spam of whatever has tickled my fancy at the time.

i do think it would be pretty fun to have blupjeans as a reverse orpheus-eurydice situation where lup is trying to live her life thinking her beloved is dead and barry is making repeated attempts to break out of the underworld for her and dying 1000 times

also though as soon as they meet the first time she starts trying to break INTO hades but shes too good at Not dying so they keep throwing her out the other end. they are repeatedly meeting each other partway through. it becomes a race to see which one's half they end up closer to each time. but they also really do want to be back together for real

kravitz does the thanatos thing (randomly popping up to give a boon based on a wager...)

the raven queen is the correct answer for hades (god of death) BUUUT if you want to give it some emotional weight it could be lucretia somehow. then RQ is nyx, which is still kravitz's mom and a very powerful entity. and lucretia's the final boss?

taako can't really be in the underworld if lup's up there (and he's probably the primary motivation for lup not just dying to be w/ barry) so he might be doing the olympian thing of granting boons. he does this chaotically and will absolutely grant barry advantages bc of the cain instinct and certainly no other reason

davenport would be in achilles' position i think... sidequest reunite him with merle maybe. orrr patroclus actually has more of a john vibe to me (it's the depression) for my 5 davenjohn likers out there

magnus n julia are another unite-this-romance sidequest probably. after they're united they set up shop somewhere and you get boons from how nice it is to rest in their awesome chairs. blupjeans truce agreement that they both have to stop to hang out with magnulia every time no matter if it cuts into their time b/c theyre friends and they don't want their competition to detract from that

i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said "we're not catholic here". now every time i'm doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.

So I read the book, and almost everytime Jim gave/made Freddie a gift, Freddie would always show it off and say “My husband got me those!” or “My husband made that for me!” It’s so sweet, especially for this one part when they first started dating:

today im thinking about the huge buff bread guy from kikis delivery service. highly underrated guy

Genuinely just a good man. Wife adopts teenage witch that needs a place to stay in the city? Sure. Even though you got a kid on the way? That’s fine. Cat too? Love cats.

My favorite moment with him is when he goes to get some prepped baking sheets and he does this fancy twirl with them in front of Jiji. Like, there’s no other people in the room, he does this to impress a cat.

I don’t think he ever says more than a whole word the entire movie, and I still love him more than most Disney princes based on this one moment alone.

And the part where he wanted to surprise Kiki by making that beautiful elaborate sign OUT OF BREAD to advertise her business and he was all anxious for her to get home and see it

But then when he sees her coming he gets all bashful and runs away 😭

the most underrated thing about the ghibli movies is how deeply they are love stories to working people, to the small folk, to moments of love and kindness. its not just about magic, many movies are about magic and fairytales. Its not only about the people in the stories, but about stories in the people. And they are just loveable.

“available with premium subscription” “will be removed on the 31st” “available free with ads” “rent 4.99 buy 20.00″ “not available in your country” “not available on this device” what if every streaming service fucking killed itself and films ran around their fields free and organic in their natural state

I pointed this out in a Discord server I'm in and thought Id share here:

Bob Iger announced that Disney is going to absorb Hulu, and Hulu will no longer exist next year. All shows will move to the Disney+ app.

Disney also announced they were going to remove shows and movies periodically from their streaming services.

I believe both of these moves are because of the Writers Strike.

Disney knows its going to lose the strike. There is too much public support. Specifically, the WGA is going to win writers getting more residuals from streaming.

So if Disney takes shows off of streaming, they dont have to pay the writers the residuals.

They are going to use excuses like "not enough funding for the server capacity" or "not enough views to warrent keeping the show". These are BULLSHIT. Its all greed. Its only GREED.

Pay attention to what happens in the following weeks.

And keep supporting the writers' strike.

This is similar to what happened with HBO - new owners merged two streaming services, and all of a sudden there wasn't enough server capacity for all the shows somehow. A total lie.

Time to start downloading EVERY Hulu show. Hoist the colors high.

And yell at your congresscritters about antitrust laws.

Download everything that isn't a major franchise. If its name isn't Marvel, Star Wars or The Simpsons, assume it's getting canned and get a copy in as high quality as you can store. Eventually your copy could be the only one.

This.

This is especially true for the weird stuff you’ve never heard anyone else mention. Lost media is a tragedy regardless of what it is.

But don't take a random tumblr's word for it, here's a verified source

I will pretty much instantly distrust a fellow leftist if they paint the enemy as being ugly (’all terfs have bad hair’, ‘all far-right bros are fat people with neck beards’, etc). It shows me they haven’t done some of the most basic work of un-linking appearance from character, which leaves them open to a vast array of bigoted tropes, from fatphobia, ableism and classism to homophobia, transphobia antisemitism and racism, because who we see as ‘attractive’ or looking ‘wholesome’ and who we assume to look ‘untrustworthy’ or villainous’  has been coded by all these things.

HERE IT IS

Concept: Fire Lords traditionally dress like the stages of the sun to match their reign.

When Zuko is first crowned, he dresses in the colours of dawn. Bright yellows and pinks and even purples. He starts to wear more traditional crimson-and-gold robes after a few years, the colours of midday when Agni is at his strongest. And towards the end of his reign, when he's getting ready to pass the crown onto Izumi, he starts dressing like the setting sun.

This concept has been living in my head since you posted it @captainkirkk so I had to give in and draw something for it.

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL???

my bf and I have started playing a game called Silly Scrabble

it’s like regular Scrabble except you can play words not in the dictionary as long as they make the other person laugh

this ends up exactly how you’d expect:

oh the one thing I forgot to mention is that you also have to come up with a definition for your ‘word’ >>>:)))

(shout out to @zukana24842 for the lovely poem)

in every workplace there should be a secret button you can press and if everyone presses it the workweek immediately ends and you can go outside and play instead of sending email

ok i made this post and this afternoon our server locked us out and i spent the rest of the day shooting the shit with my coworkers outside in perfect spring weather. i do believe in magic but mostly i believe in the secret button
