american blackbirds are icterids but european blackbirds are thrushes but american robins are thrushes but european robins are flycatchers and they are named robin because (checks notes) brits in the 1400s called them "robert" on account of they are just some familiar guy who shows up in your yard. hold on post canceled is that really why they are called that? what the fuck. they did this with jackdaws and magpies too? i can't even be annoyed. how human. "who's that? that's bob." fuck dude it sure is.

bye bye lil sebastian

Growing up, older folks would always get confused when I expressed familiarity with media from their childhoods and would act incredulous when I attempted to explain the concept of reruns. They'd be like "How do you, a child of this fallen era, know of Looney Tunes" and I'd be like "Because it has never not been playing on television" and this would seem to be brand new information to them

WHAT THE FUCK

I am resplendent with self-satisfaction if you must know

i have such a big issue with andy serkis saying that his casting for the hunt for gollum will be all white because he views middle earth as white. i think that comment and the backlash to it merits serious introspection from him and the producers on WHY you feel that way. comfortability in whiteness and surrounding yourself with other white people doesn't equate to middle earth being entirely white. tolkien described multiple characters as brown skinned, curly haired, tanned, and whatever other adjective you could throw out there. the assumption that all characters in the legendarium are white due to tolkien being inspired by norse mythology is just false and tells me that he hasn't read the books or has blocked out portions of it to make himself more comfortable. it's emerald fennel with healthcliff all over again. and i'm personally disgusted by the comment and probably will not be watching the movie. the original peter jackson movies were all white 20+ years ago and with all the love i have for those films, that fact is one of my biggest gripes with it. lord of the rings is not real, it is fantasy, so there is literally zero reason to exclude poc. and people have different colored skin due to fucking sun exposure. are we saying that these people who have mostly evolved outside all their lives and till the fucking earth outdoors all their lives wouldn't even be tan? like holy shit what kind of cognitive dissonance are we dealing with here

this plus the ick from "haha I stalked a real live woman in real life to get into character for a role, so quirky lol" Jamie Doorknob plus that MASSIVE FUMBLE of an answer to the "why is your cast so goddamn white" question put to Andy Serkis: I am feeling so gross about this fucking movie.

He doesn’t know his past girlfriends had hobbies because he never visualized the lives they lived outside of spending time with him. That’s the most charitable explanation for whatever this is.

lesbian with an overflowing craft storage room here. if I'd ever slept with a man the results would have been catastrophic.
