I don't even know anymore

shoutout to They Might Be Giants for writing very few songs about romance and instead making music about cool, relatable stuff like being a drum-playing fake doctor/real worm, former us president James Knox Polk, a statue that makes you die, or wanting to buy a big prosthetic forehead and wear it on your real head

Look at this! Look at this fucking thing! This was done in 1986, and used absolutely no CGI whatsoever. It was ALL practical, and ALL done through puppetry. Look at the last gif. Over a dozen vines are moving at once along with its head, lips, and tongue! In interviews Rick Moranis has stated he often forgot he was working with a puppet, as opposed to a really ugly guy. Even today it looks so real. Audrey ii is nothing short of miraculous

IM SORRY WHAT

WHAT

It took over 60 puppeteers to operate Audrey II’s final form in the film. You can read more about the puppet’s creation and operation here.

It’s no coincidence that the movie was directed by Frank Oz, whom Jim Henson called the best puppeteer in the world.

We need to embrace the fact that the tumblr userbase is aging. What’s everybody’s favorite kitchen appliance?

This is super cool

For non-Americans: this is actually accurate and reflects how Americans understand ourselves and regional identities. These aren’t official labels, but they’re not totally made up either.

reblog this and in the tags, write the band that comes to mind first when you think back to being 13 years old

FedEx: shits on my box, stomps on my box, kicks it, dumps gasoline on it, throws one of my chickens into the back of the van UPS: whispers at my front door “is anyone home” as quietly as possible before leaving a “we missed you!” note, tries to gaslight me into thinking my address doesn’t exist USPS: sets my package down gently where it’s not visible from the road, knocks on the door and kisses me directly on the mouth

This is not remotely true

Honestly I really wish instead of losing all her memories post season 4 Donna had been like temporarily displaced or some other handwavey scifi bullshit so that she could’ve been a River Song or Master type character where she just shows up sometimes and The Doctor is like DONNA MY BEST FRIEND DONNA and their current companion(s) is like “Whomst??? The fuck????” while Donna is just like “ey oh what’s POPPIN”

#god this #can you imagine catherine tate #just showing up in a fucking nebula #doctor’s all like DONNA SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN! #HOW’S IT GOING #same old same old seeing the wonders of the universe through involuntary and unpredictable time-space travel #you? #oh you know seeing the wonders of the universe through voluntary but still unpredictable time-space travel #new companion’s like *what are you* #Donna: I’m a temp

Temp is short for temporal anomaly.

I cannot stress this enough the fact that Rebecca Black overcame the absolute inundation of internet harassment and bullying after she released a kind of bad song that she didn’t even want to make, because people love to hate teenage girls, and NOW just dropped a new single with a killer mv about being wlw is SUCH an iconic plot point of 2021

sorry wait i know i'm reblogging this twice and with a comment but this information changed my entire worldview on particularly teenage girls in music when i first found it out which was at a thing called "music fridays" at my high school, where we'd spend 5-10 minutes at the beginning of every friday going over pop culture or even obscure music things Friday came out and after like a month of resisting, my teacher just walked up to the board and wrote "is Friday a bad song?" we concluded, after listening, dissecting, and discussing the song, that yes, it is. and then my teacher pulled up information about the company behind the whole thing. "any of you could have sung this song. Rebecca Black did not write this. It was a gift. and her gift, from well-meaning parents trying to give a girl a taste of her dream, went viral." lots of "oh fuck"s went around the classroom. not out loud, bc the teacher would have given us Looks at that, but like. he talked about how often young people are eviscerated for decisions that might not be their own. how often that happens particularly in the arts, and how that can destroy the essence of a person, because at that young, you ARE your art, even if you didn't WRITE your art. he talked about justin bieber, britney spears, hilary duff. it definitely went over that 5-10 minutes, but goddamn, it changed my mind about a LOT of things.
