Falling with Style

like the first rule of cooking is to have fun and be yourself and the first rule of baking is to stay calm because the dough can sense fear

everytime I hear about children of the corn I think about the guy I met at comic con who actually lived in the town they filmed that movie at, and on the farm where they filmed in the corn. he was a teenager at the time and him and his friends would get drunk on moonshine and rustle the corn and let the air out of the tires of the production team’s trailers and shit. and now there’s Wikipedia pages about how the children of the corn set was haunted and they thought they angered god but it was really just drunk hillbillies

I don’t like adding to posts but I also have a funny story like this, so I was watching the movie the Blair witch which takes place in burkettsville maryland, which to me is so funny because that is were my grandfather lives and the town is literally just old people and cows with their main street consisting of a post office. Well anyway he told me that after it came out people were coming in like bus loads to the town to find the witch and my grandfather lives up in the Mountain area and people were up in his property trying to find the witch and it made him angry so he went out and hung up stick people and stacked rocks and it freaked the people out so they started thinking something was out there when really it was my 80 year old Italian grandpa who wanted people out of his woods.

We had ghost hunters come to a historic house in my town to film and if you think every high school kid in town respectfully stayed at home that night instead of going to fuck up that filming you’re dead wrong.

this is comforting, actually, sometimes paranormal things are just a bunch of bored people dicking around in the woods.

New favorite cryptid: locals

despite everything …. I’m grateful I got a chance to be alive… to experience love and good food and sunsets. isn’t that the point of it all really

The "nepo baby" discourse is kind of dumb because it should have always been obvious that most famous people were born into it, but it is fun watching nepo babies get very mad and upset about it. The entire world on their plate and yet they can't have the only thing they want: the myth of being self-made

I think we need more effective insults for the uber-wealthy in general. It's nice to have one that actually makes them mad.

This is an excellent example of thermal blackbody radiation. I especially love when they squeeze it the second time, and you can see it blowing out high energy radiation in the visible spectra. Somewhere between electric arcs and lightbulbs blowing out.

This sparks were radiation?!

follow up question: why the FUCK are they so close to that

Is the reason Victor Hugo didn’t give them first names because they didn’t succeed? History wouldn’t know their names so we don’t need to know them either?

Actually no, it’s the complete opposite! Hugo was a firm believer in the significance of names because they tell us a lot about a character’s place in society. That’s why Valjean changes names a lot: he’s not accepted for who he is! Fantine doesn’t have a last name because she’s not even acknowledged by society, because Hugo thought last names showed the characters’ place on the social ladder. Therefore, les Amis will be remembered because they were high society boys and so people knew who they were and would have remembered their deaths! They don’t have first names, though, because they will only be remembered for their actions and not their personalities, because history glosses over the normal lives of famous people. People remember the last name, not the person behind it.

Well that’s upsetting.

I am cis, and this is extremely valid and helped me understand. Thanks and I love you

wow this post really blew up, huh? I’m happy to know so many ppl can relate to this^^

you all expect me to take you seriously….talking about “soulmates aren’t just a romantic concept!!!! more platonic soulmates. uwu.”…..and yet REFUSING to stan how to train your dragon (2010)….i cannot fucking imagine

no no i’m not done. toothless loses his left right tail flap while fighting a human….hiccup loses his left foot while fighting a dragon. hiccup has a scar on his chin from a dragon….toothless has a scar on his neck from a human. they are both isolated from their kin for different reasons and in the fall out from their individual conflict and pain find one another………their separate species are natural enemies, yet fate brings them together as outsiders in order to live out the friendship of a lifetime and you all SNUB THIS? THE POETICISM OF IT ALL. you ingrates are like “haha bee movie company” so you cannot SEE the GIFT of TENDERNESS that you’ve been GIVEN? good fucking night count your blessings

Society as a whole was not ready for Megamind in 2010 and it shows
