Life ultimately ends in decay

I fucking love the "the Colonel calls me Riza when we're alone" scene for a lot of reasons because come on but I need to specify that one of them is that this is Roy and Riza we're talking about, they probably have thousands of secret codes and passwords that they could use on eachother that no one else would know and yet Riza decided to try with this particular method that insinuates she's getting it on with her boss which makes me believe she just thought it would be funny and wanted to fuck with Envy, like, "aw, you know what would be hilarious, actually? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)" and it totally worked

The older I get the harder it becomes to vibe with other anime fans because at this point I can only commiserate with anime fans who also deeply hate anime.

I meet someone who's an anime fan and I aks what they like and they list off like every isekai and harem to touch the airwaves in recent memory and it's like, buddy, I'm not even in the same dimension of media consumption as you.

When I say I'm an anime fan what I mean is there are about 7 anime shows I genuinely like, another dozen or so I'd recommend but with caveats for some specific reprehensible element you can't just skip past, then about 1,000 I'd never touch with a 10-foot pole, and finally another 3 or so which fill me with enough hatred and violence to believe I should be allowed to cast any fans of them into the nearest body of flowing water.

"I like anime!" That's really cool but like do you enjoy animation as a medium breaking past the limits of what live action can accomplish in order to tell complex, insightful, beautiful, fantastical stories or--like--do you love pedophilia and misogyny?

"climate change isn't the fault of individuals for making Wrong Choices" and "climate change isn't an inevitability that already cannot be changed unless we destroy every political and economic system on the planet, and individual efforts can help change the future" are both true y'all

i need y'all to get that headlines about climate change are supposed to spur people to action, and scientists sound the alarm because humanity still CAN do something, not because it's inevitable and Literally Everyone Will Die

you are NEVER too old to nestle under a blankie and get so cozy and warm. remember this

I think one of the most important parts about film and tv analysis is never forgetting that no matter the genre or setting, the story is probably being filtered through the perspective of a person who lives in California

Like if you’re watching a tv show and you’re starting to feel alienated by some of the motivations and worldviews the characters all seem to share, consider that you aren’t the weirdo, they are, because they’re being written by people who are at any given moment no more than five minutes removed from a kale smoothie

So, there's apparently research coming out now about microplastics being found in people's bloodstreams and the possible negative effects of that and I feel the need to get out ahead of the wave of corporate sponsored "be sure to recycle your bottles!" or "ban glitter!" campaigns and remind everyone: It's fishing nets. It's fishing nets. It is overwhelming fishing nets It always has been fishing nets. Unless regulations are changed, it will continue to be fishing nets. The plastic in the ocean in largely discarded nets from industrial fishing. The microplastics are the result of these nets breaking down. The "trash islands" are also, you guessed it. Mostly fishing nets and other discarded fishing industry equipment. Do not allow them to continue to twist the story. Do not come after disabled people who require single use plastics. Do not come after people using glitter in art projects and makeup. These things make up a negligible amount of the issue compared to corporate waste, specifically in the fishing industry. Do not let them shift the blame to the individual so they can continue to destroy the planet and our bodies without regulation.

“FMA is bad because it portrays war criminals as sympathetic, likable people” bro that’s the point. That’s the whole point. That is THE point. Did you think Ethnic Cleanser is some kind of special category of person that gets separated away from all the Good People at birth? Did you think there’s some kind of barn full of Genocide Doers that only gets deployed into the general public during world wars? Did you think assholes who do terrible shit in real life are never charming or likable or capable of doing good things and helping people? One of the best parts of FMA is how we the audience realize that some of our core protags have made irredeemable choices, and we have to reckon with the fact that they’re still people, with the unalienable rights and qualities thereof. Sorry if the Problematics aren’t constantly wearing a dunce cap and a list of all their crimes and this makes the media incomprehensible to you  

light yagami is so fucking stupid in like a month they narrowed it down from like it could be anyone in the world.. to it could be anyone in japan to it could be anyone in the kanto region to it could be any student in the kanto region to its honestly probably one of the family members of these two policemen and my god this mans son is so fucking weird whats wrong with him like honestly i think L should have just taken the risk and hit light with a car one day and been like huh funny the kira murders stopped right this policemans son got hit by a car i asked my chauffeur to drive into him funny how that works out

I don't know who needs to hear this but you've probably got vegetables in your fridge that are starting to go a little off so you should probably plan on making a frittata or a pot of soup in the next couple days.

I don't know who needs to hear this but almost every bit of fresh produce you've got that might be about to go off can likely be safely frozen for use later if you want to keep it, and that the amount of waste generated by consumers is a tiny portion of food waste generally and you're not a bad or wasteful person if you forgot your veggies or you weren't feeling well enough to cook.

Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.

Meanwhile Emily Brönte just said “We can make each other worse.” 

Mary Shelley said, "I can make him
