Cochran | he/they | too funny to be allistic | I am a magpie and this blog is my beloved hoard of shiny objects | current obsession(s): K-Pop (top groups: Enhypen, TWS, TXT, ILLIT, Red Velvet, &TEAM) & Big 3 Reality (Survivor, BB, TAR)
Look, I know the scene where Darcy is describing a truly accomplished woman is meant to be tense and stuff, but I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s hilarious that when Elizabeth told him off for it, he asked if she truly thinks so lowly of her own sex. That entire conversation is essentially
Darcy: for a woman to be accomplished, she has to live up to all these standards
Elizabeth: no one can live up to those standards
Darcy: wow, you don’t think women can be all those things? Sexist🙄
during tevin's exit press the interviewer asked him how he felt about hunter fighting for him to stay when q told him about the vote and tevin said - "to watch hunter immediately go 'no tevin is good for our games, this cannot happen' and watch him fight - cause nobody is obligated to be as strong of an alliance member to any person so for Hunter to get up and do that and fight for me and try to save me when Q was like 'yeah we can't stop it', like that was...that was really...beautiful to see actually."
for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal
before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"
and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"
my favorite part in attack of the clones is when obi-wan just fucks off to play space nancy drew on Clone Rain Planet with the alarming giraffe-necked aliens and swans in like “HELLO IT’S ME, the jedi who definitely… … was here before and probably, uh, spoke to you, and stuff” and theyre like “ah you are here for the order” and hes like “beg pardon” and theyre like “the order of millions of identical human men?” and hes like “RIGHT YES. ABSOLUTELY I AM HERE FOR THE ORDER OF MILLIONS OF IDENTICAL HUMAN MEN”
and then later when he SNEAKS INTO A CORNER TO FUCKING… facetime yoda… like “ok so we have these millions of identical human men who were apparently suspiciously ordered for us by someone???” and yodas fucking response is just “when countless sapient lemons life gives you…….. send those lemons into intergalactic battle you must”
so i've been listening to the warrior cats audiobooks and there's this scene where fireheart is explaining to bramblepaw and tawnypaw that their father tigerstar is a traitor and it's really dramatic and ends with bramblepaw getting upset and running away but at the beginning it said that fireheart tucked his paws under him so all i could think about was how he was loafing
I love it when people use "shrimp" to mean "beyond the human range". like "shrimp colors" but applied to other things. "shrimp emotions" "shrimp sounds" "shrimp morality", as if shrimp are living some kind of transcendent existence that humans can never comprehend
