I dreamt that there was a show called “Dadbeard the Pirate” which was about a middle-aged pirate captain who suddenly had to raise two daughters that he didnt know he had. 

One was the daughter of a noblewoman and was classically trained in swordfighting and sailing, the other was the daughter of a tavern wench and had a lot of practical experience around shipyards. 

Dadbeard himself was bewildered at his role as a father but supportive of his new family. Episodes focused on the castmembers learning how to get along with each other while engaging in typical pirate activities, I.E. attacking trade ships and searching for treasure.

No. He is a national treasure.

If you don’t know about Macaulay Culkin’s childhood other than “he was the richest child actor of his time” please take a minute to read this

When Home Alone was at the height of its fame I saw him on a talk show saying he slept on the couch at home. His dad, who’d insisted on being on the panel with him, laughed it off as “we’d fallen on hard times but we’ll be moving to a bigger place soon.” Macaulay later said “He wanted me to know and my brother to know that he was in charge and that if he didn’t want us to sleep on a bed, we weren’t going to sleep on a bed.”

His father, Kit, was also a child actor but never made it very far. He insisted on being Macaulay’s manager and simultaneously hated him for being talented and pressured him to be famous so he could get rich 

Macaulay has said he has scars from his father’s physical abuse

All the kids were forced into acting but Macaulay and Keiran were the most successful. Thier father would book them for acting work without discussing it with them, and after long days on set they’d have to sit with their father for hours planning for the next day’s work. They rarely had any free time 

When his parents filed for divorce the custody battle focused mainly on who would get to be the kids’ manager because that person got 15% of their earnings. It’s unknown if his mother’s motives were financial or trying to keep their father from having a position of power over them, but his father’s motives were definitely financial

Macaulay hasn’t spoken to his father in 25 years and doesn’t know if he ever will. In response, his father told reporters “I no longer consider him my son”

All the stuff about Macaulay being a has-been who can’t find work is untrue. He’s still persued for acting parts but is very selective about which projects he gets involved in. He’s turned down roles that went on to make millions, including a lead in The Big Bang Theory. He has no regrets about passing on those roles and says his happiness is worth more to him

- Britney for making fun of her when she had her breakdown

- Monica Lewinski for judging her when she was a 22year old temp sexually assaulted by the most powerful man in the world

- Ke$ha for ever thinking she was trashy when all she wanted to do was make party music

- Kristen Stewart for ever thinking she was dumb when she’s actually one of the coolest people ever

- Megan Fox for ever thinking she was just a slut when actually she was an actress being harassed by her employer. 

- Hating all the women who made a career out of having a hot body. Being is shape is hard, beauty is a weapon and auto promotion is hard work. 

- All the Mary-Sues, who exist because young girls everywhere want to be part of a story they love so much

- All the female characters I ever snobbed because they got in the way of my ship.

Me, the second my alarm goes off:

no idea how it came up, but my programming prof was talking about his friend who works for Nintendo Japan who’s secondary role is The Loud American, and my prof explained what that was and how it came about

see, in Japan you do not talk back to your boss. you just don’t, even if they have stupid ideas and want the company to act on them. Like Nissan did sometime back. But since the other employees couldn’t do anything about this terrible idea that would ruin the company, they called in an American who had no reservations about telling the boss that their stupid idea was a stupid idea
