Changed My Blog 🤪

this is an act of terrorism

i just want to one day be loved like elle woods’ sorority sisters loved her

they all simply do not understand why elle wants to go to harvard so bad... yet they help her study, grade her tests, motivate her and all around fully support her from the moment she decides to go and never stop believing in elle not for a single second... like wow name me one sweeter moment in all of cinema, i’ll wait

sorry to be legally blonde blogging on main once again but i just wanted to talk about how easy it would’ve been to screw that movie up. the entire premise is based around a girl doing the most to get a guy, the main conflict of the film is the one between elle and viv, elle and her friends are stereotypical girly girls, etc - all that is just a perfect setup for a kind of passive aggressive lowkey misogynistic film that aims at actual feminist themes but falls short at #girlboss. but it doesn’t! while vivian is certainly catty to elle at first the insults aren’t sexist, vivian is just threatened but the confrontation is surprisingly and refreshingly... levelheaded? is the best way i can describe it. there is none of that one scene that a lot of 90’s movies seem to have where the two female protags have a fight where they insult each other’s appearance and then latch onto each other’s hair and yell bloody murder. ya know the one. there is none of that, none of the throwing around lowkey insults to women left and right, and in the end it works out quite beautifully because the only character we meet who is actually outright sexist is warner, which sets him up to be a gigantic asshole without having to have him like kill a kitten or something. it’s clever writing! and for a movie that came out in 2001 to toe that line between empowerment and sexism so well and come out the other side an enjoyable story with realistic women that does not fall under sexist tropes and stands the test of time is very admirable imo

anyway,

a lot of pieces of media will show characters catching fireflies with just their bare hands. in some cases they will just land on the persons fingers. to gently be placed inside of a jar..

for people who live in areas who don’t have fireflies, i want you to know that is not made up or exaggerated for those scenes. fireflies are really like that. they are slow and not cautious at all. while camping i would just walk up to one flying in the air and grab it. and it would sit on my hands like “oh ok.” they are my friends.

also i think it’s funny when fireflies are portrayed as round light bulb-ish shapes. they are skinny.

also their butts are yellow even when not lit up. they’re not just all black until suddenly lighting up yellow! they always got little yellow asses!

they are such friends

fireflies our beloveds <3

Thought people might appreciate this video I got of a firefly that landed on my mom’s ring and sat there flashing for about a good minute or two. They really are just like that

Now Peter Pan came out in 1928...

"This is why I bake" 😌👌🏼 what a mood

[Transcript:

“Peanut butter bread from the Great Depression.  Now the Depression was rough and while some people like it that way, the world of baking didn’t.  Butter, sugar, and eggs were scarce, but there was shelf stable peanut butter.

Start with two cups of flour, a pinch of salt, only a quarter cup of sugar, and four teaspoons of baking powder.  Is that a typo?  We want the bread to rise not generate thrust.  On this episode of bread goes to space.  Mix.

In goes one and a third cup of moo juice.  (That’s milk).  Now, the half cup of peanut butter.  You know, Peter Pan came out in 1928.  Brave king.  I waited until 2019.  Get in.  Fold.  I don’t know about this.  There’s not much to it.  Neeeow.

Bake at 325 for about an hour and 10 minutes.  Well, it smells divine.  [unpanning noises].  That’s a good crumb.  Man!  This is stellar!  It’s perfectly peanut-buttery and sweet.  Mhmm!  So good with so little.  This is why I bake.”

gorgeous gorgeous girls love talking to themselves in their room and living out their silly little scenarios until they realise they are exhibiting serious signs of mental illness

If I were a doctor and someone came to me to have a Pickle Rick tattoo removed I wouldn’t charge them. It would be inhumane for me to make them go on like that

im sorry the doctor made you pay for the removal but you dont need to subtweet him

All my followers do is own me on every post I make

I have zero interest in food. If it were feasible, my diet would consist entirely of flavorless beige smoothies containing all the nutrients required by the human animal.

it’s britney bitch

Okay, I know you’re testing them, you said you were going to be testing them.

did they ever track down the baby born at dashcon?

you know, the dashcon baby… the baby born in the ballpit at dashcon

what

Th e

the dashcon baby

at dashcon, a late term pregnant lady (there for a writing panel i believe) arrived, and while going around the “event”, her water broke around 2 months earlier than expected, and began to go into labour, there was a huge traffic jam because of, you know, and driving to the hospital was out of the question, so they called an ambulance. But the thing is, because of the traffic jam, it took over 40 minutes, and she was going into labour NOW. A nurse in training there took over and had to deal with the woman, so they took the ballpit, being the best thing they could think of in the mostly empty area, cleared some of the balls away, and had to use that as a surface to deliver the baby. Around 5 minutes before they got there, they managed to deliver the baby, (thankfully) in a safe state.

great post everybody

I helped!
