despite everything, we stay silly

The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because they’re hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.

crazy how there are only 2 hours of doing things every day before you keel over and die. if this werent normal id be worried

you’re not hopeless you’re just really really tired and in desperate need of a break and im shaking you by the shoulders and telling you that all is not hopeless but you do need to rest

you’re not an inherently bad person you’re just exhausted and you’re thinking about all of your mistakes but forgetting the good you do. fatigue is lying to you, just take a nap if you can for the love of god before you start apologizing just for existing

whatever needs to be said was said in iris by the goo goo dolls

#i was sceptical for a minute cause these illustrations don't match the plants in every case#(rounded dandelion leaves serrated willow leaves same leaves on crocus and aloe etc)#but these are the section headers NOT illustrations/representations of individual flowers#anyways. found a link. gorgeous book.

I am a huge fan of retiring to my quarters

In this economy you'll be lucky to retire to your nickels

I just learned that they filmed PHM in order, and I am weirdly excited about it. One of the things that frustrates me most about filmed mediums, specifically, is that it's SO much more difficult for actors to be in character, locked in, when they haven't experienced something yet. It also allows for less improvisation (something they held in high esteem for PHM and is yet another thing I love about this film) due to continuity problems. Filming it in order also meant that Ryan Gosling had already spent weeks filming alone before Rocky showed up, which he himself said in an interview made it so much easier to embody Ryland. "By the time Rocky shows up, I genuinely need a friend." Direct quote!!! The fact that James Ortiz and his team were in sync enough with the Rocky puppet to do improv, so much so that Ryan didn't feel like he was acting with a puppet. The fact that Gosling selected this film specifically, asked Chris and Phil to direct, and then committed SO HARD to the character. He was SO involved in making this movie and it shows! I thought I was over it but I am not. Film of the decade for me guys.

nobody else doing it like me. particularly because the way i’m doing it is needlessly difficult

Not OTP nor NOTP but a magical third thing: I’m indifferent to your ship but your fanart fucking slaps

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

Shakespeare is like this

happy pride to all the people who's identity or orientation is none of their own buisness. i see you.
