Alice's Lantern

there were four rapunzels- one who only appeared in one episode and then was never mentioned again, and then three from the final season- one of whom was mother gothel in disguise (who is also a nymph and had a scene identical to the prom scene in carrie), one of whom was lady tremaine, and the final of whom was alice in wonderland, captain hook’s daughter

hades fell in love with the wicked witch of the west and also was that guy from ally mcbeal and we were supposed to take that 100% seriously 

maleficent got impregnated by a mystery man and laid an egg, out of which hatched a human baby. they went to find her dad and never showed up in the show again. we find out in the last episode that her dad was zorro and nothing else is mentioned of this 

the frozen characters were all there, completely based on canon with no alterations like everyone else got, and nobody questioned this. cruella de vil was also there and now is probably fighting with king arthur over custody of hell

mérida was there for like a season and a half and not once did she ever get a costume change. they were at a funeral and you can see her bright bluegreen dress just. there 

henry jumped on a lion in new york and gave a speech about how magic is real 

at the end they crowned the evil queen empress of everything just bc 

there was a musical episode

I don’t watch Once Upon A Time but every clip I’ve seen is like

Quasimodo: “And where is the amulet?” Edgar from Aristocats: “Safe and sound I assure you. Isn’t that right, Lightning McQueen?” *the sounds of revving comes out of the shadows*

A random influencer decided he'll listen to an anti cancer song on loop. People liked it enough times he ended up listening for 9 days.

He raised 90 million in these 9 days, and then 160 million more over the last 10 hours, for a total of 250 million.

Hundreds and thousands of people signed up to donate marrow.

Hundreds of celebrities shaved their heads in solidarity.

The Foundation receiving this money had to create a special commission to figure out how to distribute the money.

The national TV stations got highjacked to stream this for hours because it was better news than anything happening in the world.

Because we broke and DOUBLED the world record for this kind of thing.

They raised about as much as the biggest running charity event in Poland did in a whole year with three decades of tradition and a goddamn army of people.

Łatwogang refuses to collab with companies that only reached out to him now because of popularity or give interviews. He said any medals people wanna give them should go to the doctors and nurses and the cancer patients.

Someone offered to renovate that shabby little flat for him as a thank you. He refused.

Just love this headline phrasing.

The dance used in the vast number of 2d anime-esque caramelldansen vids has nothing to do with Caramell; it came from a gif on 4chan referred to as “Popotan dance” that started as fanart of an adult visual novel because of course it did. Speedycake was making his remixes at the same time as people were making popotan dance gifs of everything, and the memes converged into a compound supermeme that swept the internet.

The video above is yet another fan-made video, using 12 characters from the iDOLM@STER series. (Hint: the band that created the song is Swedish, so anything obviously Japanese did not come from them).

The first official video released by Caramell was this version, six years after the song was first released and two years after it started to spread as a meme:

Click. Spark. Deep breath.

The celebrations of the day had bled into the evening, the perpetual purple sky of Hallow Bast—Radiant Garden darkening with the sunset. While the A Team went to Destiny Islands together, the supporting cast gathered with the restoration committee to drink, talk, relax. Even if they lost their main character, Xehanort was gone. That was worth celebrating, right?

As a breeze came in through the window he swung open, Demyx remembered his awkward milling through conversations, trying desperately to find a single opening to chat, to convince Ansem or Yuffie or Dilan that, ‘Yes, he too, is a good guy.’ Maybe that would convince him as much too.

And when that was unsuccessful, he did what he did best: ran away. The silence was welcome, the spare room of HBRC was tucked out of the way and if anyone truly missed him (doubtful) he could easily slide back into frame and do his song and dance for them.

Demyx watched as stars took center stage, the muffled sounds of the radio through the floor getting quieter. He saw Cid and Lex—Aeleus turn the corner on the street to start their walks home, complaining of old bones and bed times. So certain of his ability to blend into the background, Demyx hadn’t heard the squeak of the door behind him until there was a soft ‘ahem’ a few feet away from him.
