Hello my Lovelies :)

I’m still somewhat convinced that someone sold their soul to create the special effects in Jurassic Park because that shit is over 20 years old and it still really, really holds up, better than the stuff in a lot of current movies, even.

Literally see this post flying around with a few different responses added to the bottom each time so I’ll say it for this one myself:

They used animatronics and detailed costumes for most if not all of the dinosaurs in the first movie.

One of my favorite anecdotes I’ve read on tumblr is how the t-rex robot from Jurassic park would malfunction while it was drying out. How did it malfunction, you might wonder?

So, I knew about the animatronics bit but I did not know the raptors were guys in suits and the malfunctioning t-rex sounds terrifying.

i mean ok but why has nobody posted this:

What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim? Well - life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!

me: *remembers that out of the three main protagonists of the new star wars movie not one of them is a white man. that the most shipped pair is an interracial coupe with a black and latino man and that we are gonna get a female jedi as main hero*

To anyone who is starting the new year on a low, I am here for you. I care about you. You are never as alone as you think you are. You matter. You are enough. Maybe it doesn’t feel like it today and maybe it won’t feel like it tomorrow but you are the most important person in the world to someone. You are made up of raw potential, whether you are 13 or 83. You are made of stardust and what if’s and endless possibilities. And you may not be able to see that right now but I do. And oh my, you are spectacular.

An archeologist is just a thief with patience.
