People are messy, and love can be ugly. I’m inclined to always err on the side of compassion.

—Taylor Jenkins Reid, from "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo."

She’s so angry at the people who aren’t listening, and continue to be oblivious to her pain. 🥺

Who’s afraid of little old me makes me so angry at the music industry, and the people who allowed her to be closeted. IM SO SORRY THEY DID THIS TO you sweetheart.

The scandal was contained

Kiss-gate

The bullet had just grazed

At all costs, keep your good name

Taylor Swift™️

You don't get to tell me you feel bad

Is it a wonder I broke?

Let's hear one morе joke

Then we could all just laugh until I cry

…

You caged me and then you called me crazy

Gold cage hostage to my feelings

I am what I am 'cause you trained me

what is PR training?

Mildly bland unpopular opinion but tbh I don't care that much about Perry and Doof in pnf. Most the delight I get out of the show is the pure shenaniganery from the kids

Born on this day 111 years ago: high empress of kitsch exotica, nostril-flaring Dominican actress, Caribbean Cyclone and Queen of Technicolour Maria Montez (née María África Gracia Vidal, 6 June 1912 - 7 September 1951). Venerated by the likes of Gore Vidal and underground queer filmmakers Jack Smith, Andy Warhol and Kenneth Anger, leading lady of films like Arabian Nights (1942), White Savage (1943) and Cobra Woman (1944) Montez is a pivotal figure in the sensibility we now call “camp.” (Early Warhol drag superstar Mario Montez was christened after her). Aside from perhaps the young Yvonne De Carlo, did any woman wear a yashmak with more elan? “When I see myself on the screen, I look so beautiful I want to scream with joy” Montez once famously declared. Maria Montez, you make ME scream with joy! Here she is in Siren of Atlantis (1949) playing – what else? – an evil queen.

-PREPARE THIS ONE IS LONG-

Even though we all dislike the ending to some degree, BIA's ending still brings an interesting layer to the their relationship. It's a flaky plot-twist, sure, but we must not forget that:

a) Daffy isn't acting b) Most of Bug's reactions of/for/about Daffy must be genuine ( the inmediate ones at least)

So Daffy does want to leave for good (The stakes for Bugs are real), and Bugs does not believe Daffy is there just to highlight him(the emotional misunderstanding is real). He is actually surprised by this take, but unable to tell him how he feels. He can't go off script on in a meta, literal or personal level.

Uhm some other stuff, when Kate (the human co-star) and Bugs are driving on las Vegas, Bugs recognises Daffy by laugh alone. He looks up as soon as he hears it, Kate only hits the brakes after he is right on front.

They are all doing improv to some level. Daffy really had excellent timing for the joke, so Bugs really is just enamored with the perfect time Daffy came in. And Daffy in general

All in all, if Bugs orcheastated the whole bit, it means he really did all that to get Daffy on the movie, movie in which he praises Daffy constantly and goes far and beyond for…

At the end, the movie is for Daffy. Is Bugs VERY convoluted way of expressing his feelings without being direct or telling him to his face. funnily enough, this just bring back Bugs real issue, he can give the world to Daffy, but is it anything if he doesn't say so? works in meta too, the movie is fun, but the ending brings a lot of people a sour taste. and for some it ruins the experience.

TLDR: Uhhh...Bugs' gay, a menace, deserves the "least probable to open up about his feelings" award.

The shorts have always been in this weird limbo where it could be things happening to the Tunes in real time, we the audience are just there to witness it, or it’s actually a skit and the tunes exist as actors. sometimes the shorts don’t reveal it’s being filmed until a 4th wall break gag comes along and (kinda) changes the context of the short. I feel that Joe Dante might have risked the movie taking itself too seriously as “this happened to Bugs and Daffy outside filming” if it actually ended with Bugs and Daffy walking off into the sunset (hallway?) and so the ending we have was put in as “this was all a film ordered by execs and Bugs was in on it”. It doesn’t come as a surprise to me now and looking back it seems like a cop-out for the notoriously tumultuous experience of filming it anyways. Like a given up, hands in the air kinda “it was all just a movie. so there, the end”

It’s funny that although everything about the movie wasn’t “real”, the emotional conflict between Bugs and Daffy very much was, and that ends up being like, this entire movie’s saving grace jfkfjdhd

#looney tunes #baffy #bugs bunny #daffy duck #that and of course the iconic louvre scene #which was an integral part of Daffy and Bugs mending their feud anyways jfkfhd #like it’s funny on its own but it hits that it comes after daffy is like ‘everyone loves u not me you ignore me’ #and then BAM ‘bugs and daffy are working n perfect harmony to kick elmer’s ass’ hfkfkfj #and they go out to eat afterwards and literally are staring in each other’s eyes like???? #ok gay old couple

Hello! I just wanted to mention that whenever I see your posts or reblogs, I smile. It's always wonderful hearing (reading?) your thoughts on random stuff, and the TAGS!! I'm relatively new to Tumblr, but something that I really love about it is the tags. You can put anything! It's like a little farewell message with bonus stuff for people who bother to read the whole thing (like me)! Especially on your posts, the little comments in them make me laugh.

For now, I am only a spectator; no posts of my own. But this place is pretty cool. Lots of cool people. Maybe I can start being cool, too.

Sorry for the spontaneous long "ask", but I figured it'd be nice to let you know how much I appreciate this blog. Even if you don't read it, it's nice to have it out there, y'know?

P. S. I'm a big fan of Splatoon and your takes on Pearl and Marina are really great to me. Especially the dynamic between Marina and Acht... (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

Greetings and welcome, friend fish creature! Praise be that you have found the place of the tags, where we flop around muttering to ourselves for everyone else to hear!

i HIGHLY recommend sometimes checking out ALL the tags on a post also. Sometimes the resulting scrolling can be tons of fun XD

tbh coolness is not the word i'd use for this place or it's people- happily cringe more like?

don't bother about it, is what i mean, have fun and ruin the day of anyone looking through your blog by making them scroll past The Color Of The Sky or fifteen reblogs of Flat Fuck Friday or maybe a dissertation on squids <3 when i first came to tumblr, i think i mostly just reblogged pics of rocks? tagged "ooohhhh" and "aaaahhh".... tho, supposed i still do that too...

cheers be to the gay cephalopods! Can't BELEIVE there's new stuff for them after all this time- AND MARINA GOT A BUDDY- will NEVER be over dedf1sh getting brought back as Acht, Marina's old friend. that's just, an actual fever dream come true. amazing... ;_;

best of luck, o' tumblerina!

#. #.. #... #...... #......... #wonder where that old fanart of marina and dedf1sh playing piano together is.... #hmmmmm #can't believe how much i used to draw for pearlina #that was so fun #what an iconic gay inspiration duo

I've been stalking Javier Bardem's filmography, and I'm just dying at the fact that his typecast in the 90s seemed to be hunky male whore, I mean, well deserved but 😭

#i love two things: #a lot of european actors always seem to have some gay movie they starred in before they got big #<- i.e ewan mcgregor in velvet goldmine. daniel brühl in love in thoughts etc etc #2. so many european actors go from being typecast as sexy romantic leads to being cast as villains in English/American films #i mean think abt Mads Mikkelsen. iconic ass villain in american/british stuff like james bond and hannibal and harry p*tter #but in danish films i feel like hes often a quite sympathetic character????? #and then javier bardem. literally the same case #silva in Skyfall and I literally just watched him in his renowned villain rule in no country for old men last night #but then in these films i found 😭😭 sexy seducer!!!!!!! #this post is sponsored by the fact that i was trying to find gifs of him as stilgar in dune #and came across gifsets of: 1. just his crotch in tight underwear(😭) 2. very passionate kissing scene w another man #....my interest is peaked 👀 #catie.rambling.txt

William Haines in 1930.

Haines is commonly known as the first Hollywood star to "come out of the closet." He led a successful career in the late 1920s and early 1930s as a contract player for MGM, appearing for three consecutive years in the Top Ten Money Making Stars Poll.

In 1933, he was arrested in a compromising position with a sailor in Los Angeles, and was given two choices by the studio head, Louis B. Mayer: a lavender marriage as a way to save face or the termination of his contract. Haines chose the latter, and was promptly fired from MGM. Thereafter, he starred in two additional movies produced by a "Poverty Row" studio, before officially retiring from acting in 1934.

Together with his sailor, Jimmie Shields, Haines then started a successful career as an interior designer. The couple stayed together for over forty years, until Haines' death in 1973. Joan Crawford once stated William and Jimmie were "the happiest married couple in Hollywood."
