you need to be earnest. you need to tell people that you love them. you need to speak on how you’re feeling honestly. you need to be sentimental. you need to stop letting the fear of other people laughing at you have so much control over how you express yourself. you need to get over yourself. you need to be embarrassing but true.

I FUCKING HOPE SO !

Clarifying for everyone who doesn’t read usernames but the delayed release is just a rumor but an extremely LIKELY rumor right now. Considering how people who are working on Beyond the Spider-Verse say they’re barely in the animation testing stage.

A good movie is NOT worth unsatisfactory and mentally unstable, exhaustive, and dangerous working conditions. If you can support the artists who worked on atsv financially through commission or other means DO THAT!

I will happily wait another year or  two so that the animators aren’t worked to the bone. I want my entertainment to be produced as ethically as possible.

I have something I want to check, but the answer may scare me. Alright, here it goes:

Please reblog, though I'm pretty sure it's gonna be pretty conclusive regardless of sample size.

2023: Wonder bread is $3

A 12 pack of soda is $8-9 (I remember in 2010 when I worked at ShopRite you could get like 3 for $9 or 4 for $12)

Median rent is over $2k!!!

Eat the damn rich

today you, tomorrow me.

Nimona (2023) dir. Nick Bruno and Troy Quane, and based on the graphic novel by ND Stevenson

You know, it's kinda funny how much of high fantasy centers around kings and nobility and courtly intrigue considering that the archetypal high fantasy, Lord of the Rings, had the rather explicit moral of "saving the world is up to this backwater hick and his gardener because no politician, least of all inherited nobility, would have the ability to see past their own ambition and throw away a weapon". Oh sure, Aragorn is a great king and all, but there's a reason he's over there running a distraction ring while the hobbits do the real work. Sauron loses because he gets distracted by kings and armies and great battles (i.e. typical high fantasy stuff) letting Frodo and Sam sneak through his back door and blow it all to hell.

Just saying, maybe old Jirt knew what he was saying when he said that the small folk doing their best and holding to each other was more powerful than a dozen alliances and superweapons and we should respect him for it.

(No but seriously OP you’re exactly right)

On learning to feel.

TV show: This is a TV show called Shits&Farts. It is about shits, & farts. The main characters are two men named Shit, & Fart. They tell shit & fart jokes to each other for the whole twenty-minute runtime.

at least one person you follow on tumblr, instantly: omfg im WITHERING from last nights ep….. the dynamic between shit & fart is so fucking  tense and erotic……im still fucking sobbing i hate my sweet babies….. why do they treat each other like this im fucking BATHING IN ACID….. its so good…….. im EMBALMING MYSELF and then DESECRATING MY OWN CORPSE…..

i love seeing a tumblr post and knowing it’s from a person who sufjan stevens family contacted to tell them to stop making posts about fisting him

putting ketchup on fries is too permanent for me … i have to dip . i control the sauce

Many people are noting that Nimona isn't very subtle about its message and themes (cue the rainbow breathe weapon). And you know what, I think it's awesome. We're used to thinking subtlety is good, and even queer people frequently agree that queer stories should be "well made" and "not too preachy". That's not wrong in itself, but here's the thing: after spending millennia as "the love that dare not speak its name", we desperately need stuff that isn't subtle, but loudly, blatantly, obnoxiously queer... AND well made, because these are not opposites. Subtlety for its own sake becomes just another closet. After realizing it, I won't be comfortable writing queer subtext anymore -- not until I see queer text become commonplace.

My favorite part of Nimona's narrative queerness is the dichotomy of the trans experience and the cis gay experience explored in Nimona and Ballister's relationship. They're both queer people villains, but Nimona's villainy is seen as more innate, while Ballister's is something he can escape. Nimona is trans a "monster," but he is just a victim of circumstances who can reclaim a powerful position. Nimona goes to him as a fellow queer person villain, but finds that Ballister has just as many judgements to unpack and insensitive questions to ask as other people, though he is more willing to do the work. I saw so much of the community dynamics of trans and cis people in queer spaces in this. Outsiders think we're exactly the same, but internally many cis people either don't care for uniquely trans struggles or want to distance themselves from us completely.

there’s something so special about falling in love with nature every time you see a little detail like a fallen leaf on the ground that’s slowly turning brown... or spotting a tiny mushroom that’s sprouting from a tree... or just getting a warm feeling when you see the moon, i’m in love with the little things of life

So sick of this overly negative meme that shows up every single fucking month so made my own version.
