Fred Astaire & Gene Kelly being there for each other

Gene Kelly’s brother Fred recalled:

“When Gene’s wife Jeannie Coyne died of cancer more than 20 years ago, Gene withdrew from everyone and shut himself up in a back room of his house. One night there came a knock at the kitchen door. When Gene didn’t answer, the caller kept knocking. Finally Gene said, ‘There’s nobody home!’’

“‘I know,’ the visitor called back, ‘that’s why I came to be with you.’ Gene opened the door and there stood Fred Astaire, carrying sodas and sandwiches. The two of them sat together, without saying a word, all that night long.” Fred said.

“Turns out Gene had done the same thing for Astaire when his wife died several years before. They were really very close friends.”

In hearing of the biopic I read there was some doubt as to whether there was proof that fred didn’t want a film made on his life, so naturally I did some digging and...well...here it is....in his own handwriting no less.

The blue flames of Indonesia’s Ijen volcano are caused by super-heated sulfuric gases forcing their way to the surface. Upon hitting open air, the gases ignite, sometimes shooting flames as high as 16 feet.
Some of the gases condense into liquid sulfur, which continues to burn as it flows down the slopes, looking like blue lava.

How irresponsible of you Jupiter

This is even funnier when you consider that Jupiter is the Roman name for Zeus, who canonically…is a whore and had that many children both full and demi divine

THE MOONS ARE NAMED AFTER ZEUS’S LOVERS AND AFFAIRS

Don’t forget that the Juno probe is named after Jupiter’s wife. NASA deadass sent his wife to check on his side chicks

Honest Advice On Relationships And Life In General By This Balloon Artist 

 "I try to make commentary about, or poke fun at, social media. The balloons were a social media trope often used in bridal showers and gender reveals, so they were a natural progression of that idea. I love the contrast of profound, funny, or challenging quotes spelled in silly balloons. And since another common cliche is endless selfies, I tend to put myself in most of the photos. They often make people cringe, but the cringe is the point,“ Michael told Bored Panda.

I hate hate HATE all those 2edgy 4me theories about kids shows. Like Angelica dreaming up the rugrats, or the ed, edd, and eddy children being ghosts, or literally anything that takes a lighthearted and fun kids show and has to turn it into some tragic take of rape or murder or misinformed mental illness. So you know what? From now on I’m gonna do the exact opposite. Every cool grim-dark show is now because of a bunch of children. To get us started: Game of Thrones: A middle-school DnD campaign with the most angry, vindictive DM who has promised to kill everyone’s player characters (and their family) by the end.

The Walking Dead is actually a bunch of kids playing zombie apocalypse in their neighborhood and every time someone “dies,” it’s because their parents called them home for supper.

Breaking Bad is actually just a fanfic the students in Mr. White’s class write about him because no one has any idea what he does with his free time and the running jokes about it got wildly out of hand.

These are all officially my headcanons for the actual shows now

MASH is a group of war re-enactors who have been enacting the Korean war for 11 years. They are renowned for drinking heavily and refusing to take it seriously - except for Frank who wants to play proper war games. People entering their area at the event expect to get pranked. Finally they decide to disband and take bets on who can give their character the most dramatic tragic ending. Hawkeye turns up with a plushie chicken and a baby doll. “Guys, guys… I had this great idea!”
