#that was a terrible comparison

[the-woman-upstairs]

For anyone who likes romance and spies and yearning and a short king being completely head over heels for a woman that can (and does) kick his ass, Argylle is the movie for you. Feel like the marketing team is leaving money on the table by not appealing to the romance crowd that is crying out for more genuine love stories on film and the one in this movie is actually really sweet and features an attractive couple with actual personalities.

#argylle #argylle spoilers #i am notoriously harsh on m/f couples in film especially modern ones #but i really liked this one and loved how it felt like a real partnership #this movie is not gonna win any awards but it’s very cute and the action was fun #and bryce dallas howard getting to play a whole woman instead of a terrible string of misogynistic cliches in Jurassic World was refreshing #plus sam rockwell >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> chris pratt any day #i guess he’s only a ‘short king’ in comparison to other guys but you know what he’s basically an inch taller than bryce dallas howard #so i’m letting him keep the epithet especially since the other guys are much taller and more built

This system does not require faith — only accordance.

Alt text: Screenshots from Revolutionary Girl Utena with overlaid text. 1: Dios on a white horse, standing up high on a broken bridge. Text: An innocence is infallible.

2: Dios and young Utena looking at young Anthy, suspended in the air on the swords of hate. Text: The decisions made by one are not decisions.

3: Anthy's silhouette against a pink background, pierced by many blades, hair flying. Text: They are inevitabilities —

4: Touga looking out the tower window at the stars. His shirt is open and he holds a potted cactus. Text: what would have happened anyway,

5: An apple with a slice cut out, pierced by many forks. Text: only accelerated.

6: B-ko the shadow girl in Prince costume, taking a heroic stance. Text: An Innocence is a continuous, compressed event, a sacred human being.

7: Akio, dressed as End of the World, holds Utena, dressed as a rose bride. Text: It is an honor and a glory to live when one is in office.

8: Closeup on young Utena and Dios's feet, standing at the edge of a sheer drop. Text: YOU — Is one in office now?

9: A dark, empty stage with a rose design on the lowered curtain. Text: No.

#revolutionary girl utena #disco elysium #shoujo kakumei utena #dios #akio #utena #anthy #touga #kanae #csa tw #for clarity in case this doesn’t read the way im intending for it to read #the comparison between akio and the innocentic system is the idea of like. why they’re called innocences to begin with #the idea that they are ‘’innocent’’ in that everything they do is 1) inevitable 2) a reflection of the will of the world and everyone in it #akio and the prince archetype both have echoes of that idea #the prince as someone who is infallible and sacred and a necessary part of the world #and akio as someone who uses that rhetoric of infallibility and of only being a reflection of the way the world works #to write off his heinous crimes a la the innocenses and their war crimes #and ‘’we are alone’’ is utena recognizing the death of the prince. she is alone. she has to do this herself #in sacred and terrible air miro says something like ‘’be at peace. i am innocent and so you all are as well’’ #in the same breath as he launches a nuke #i feel part of utena’s arc is about rejecting the idea that something is acceptable just bc everyone else around her seems to accept it #bc the truth is more that her peers have resigned themselves to their fates… it’s not truly what they want. they just cant imagine smth else #and so rather than say ‘’i am innocent and so we all are innocent’’ #she learns to say ‘’i am guilty of many things but i can change. and so can you. and so can the world’’

"Ned doesn't know how to talk with Sansa" Okay but like…where though? Where is it actually anywhere in the books that Ned has trouble speaking with Sansa? Or that he doesn't know how to handle her or "what to do" with her? The conflict people try and invent between them is just so...forced. I wish people would just let it go and stop trying.

#and if we're being honest it's because they're trying to copy and paste Catelyn and Arya's dynamic onto them which doesn't work #cause Ned agrees with Cat + also expected Arya to conform and made that clear multiple times throughout AGOT #so there was no favoritism going on cause Arya is /masculine/ or whatever nonsense and he didn't treat Arya better then Sansa lol #he let her have lessons as a distraction and he thought of them as temporary...in comparison Sansa was adjusting well to KL #Arya and Ned's relationship was more important/plot-relevant yes but Sansa and Ned just didn't have any issues like that 😭 #I'm tired of people just making things up and passing them off as canon #+ Ned getting thrown under the bus as a terrible father because he was nice to Arya and didn't warp his entire existence around Sansa #but then how are people going to blame Ned for Sansa going to tell Cersei of his plans I guess? #people can't cope if Sansa isn't the most pathetic little meow meow ever so that means everyone else has to be demonized

Latest statement from KP: William is focused on “work” and not social media.

Also William: hasn’t been seen working anywhere all week.

Meanwhile The King did in-person audiences with ambassadors today. His team don’t need to make statements to confirm he’s alive or working…because we can see it.

Just what are KP’s comms team playing at? How do they think this is going to end well? The Uk media might lick his ass but the internet and other media won’t.

And he met with Canadian PM this week.

But yes, doing the work of being the head of state.

I think this comment from the RoyalsGossip subreddit was quite informative. It's a fairly neutral subreddit where a LOT of people like Will & Kate.

Plenty of people can see that Kensington Palace is a train wreck right now, except for the Wales fandom.

PR win for King Charles & Buckingham Palace officials.

PR FAIL for Prince William & Kensington Palace officials.

There shouldn't be American comms/public relations professionals on reddit slamming the handling of the Waleses' current crisis. Yet, here we are. William & KP do not know how to complete easy pr wins. The UK press has to engineer it for him. And if they don't, well, then it's time to "exert huge pressure" on the UK media.

[Marigold's phone begins to ring again, the third time in the past twenty minutes. A yawn escapes her, old floorboards creaking as she walks through the shoddy curtain into her bedroom.] Marigold: Yes, Mama -- You know, it's been almost three months now...I think I can remember to buy my own groceries. [She laughs, pacing around her room as her mother's lovely voice fills her with a certain homesickness. Not that Marigold will let her know that, it would only make her worry more.] Marigold: Nine more months, and I'm home...if they don't end up hiring me! [Marigold's heart melts as her mother reassures her, pressing a few kisses through the phone.] Marigold: I love you always...I'll be sure to facetime you and Papa tomorrow morning. [Mattress springs squeak as she flops down onto her bed. She can't shake the melancholy, despite living her dream. To describe her life in the city thus far, the two words tied are fulfilling, and lonesome.] [But Marigold isn't the type to wallow. She was raised with optimism, and her heart blazes with passion. She turns, cheek squishing in her palm as a sweet breeze passes through the flowers outside her window.] Marigold: What do you say, Teddy? Do you think we can do this for nine more months? [She doesn’t expect a response, but she giggles to herself regardless.] Marigold: Yeah, it'll be a piece of cake!

Just found out electric eels a) technically aren't eels, they're just fish that look like eels and b) swim in a special way that make them extremely fast swimmers (with average speeds of 62 mph)

So anyway, merperson au where the speedsters are electric eels

#lightning! speed! aerodynamic! #it's perfect #well #brighter colors though #in my head im thinking that the eel mers are bright colors to warn off predators hence the neon red and yellow #natures warning sign #but i also think that their main food source is sharks #because sharks can sense electricity and its attractive to them. so I think the speedsters pack hunt like velocoraptors #one in front with the static turned up to act as bait #and at least one other hiding with the static off for an ambush #apex predators #but the trade off is they have terrible vision. like normal human vision but terrible vision in comparison to other mers #they can't see in the dark at all so they're usually in higher waters where it's sunny #which is accurate btw eels can't see shit #they have electrolocation apparently #so i guess the speedsters have that too but im going to say that they still prefer to see #and that while they can get around in the deep with electrolocation they don't like to #also eels breathe through their mouths and their gills are mostly vestigial #and eels can live for hours out of the water because they won't suffocate #so uhhhhhhh. they're very familiar with the surface imma say. #little mermaid mentality

a lot of people wildly overestimate the control the average Jew in the diaspora has over the state of Israel (literally you cannot imagine how little) or how much the state of Israel cares about the diaspora (it does not) but they also overestimate the extent of control the average Israeli esp a young leftist on tumblr is going to have on a right wing government that’s spent the last twenty years cementing power and is acting under war time governance

anyway go harass people in political office right now

#Like. I hate to draw comparisons but u remember the Iraq war bro right u remember? #It’s a profoundly terrible situation on all levels but I think a lot of hurt and angry people are lashing out at the targets they can see #Which are not in any way the targets actively doing war crimes right now

Fire Emblem Three Houses and Fire Emblem Engage are like the sun and the moon, or odd and even. They're so different in such deliberate ways and I love them for it. Let's have a little ramble! This time on design:

Byleth and Alear's colour schemes could not be more different. First Byleth's: black, grey, bone-brass and silver for metals, and muted turquoise-y green hair.

Then Alear's: White, black, bright golden for metals, and vibrant red and blue hair.

The purple created when you mix Alear's hair colour is a brighter version of the complimentary colour of the turquoise/grey that is created when you mix the two hair colours of Byleth.

Their inverted colours are (nearly) the same as the other, minus being brighter/ more muted than the other.

Byleth has a short wolf cut (male) and a long(ish) wolf cut (female) with side swept bangs both times, Alear has massively long hair with central hime bangs (female) and a wolf cut with central layered bangs (male).

Byleth wears black, Alear wears white, Byleth's hair is green, Alear's is red and blue.

Their designs speak so well to their games, one muted and dark, the other vibrant and light. Both so well made, honestly I feel like they were made for each other with how opposite they are! I love it!

Part one:

Part three:

Part four:

I got very strong night fury vibes from the cat🥰😩🥰🥰

me too! i think toothless is a slightly inauspicious name for a cat since she cannot retract hers at will, but she does hiccup after i give her milk… 🤔

so far we were thinking Frodo (on account of the literal sopping wet kitten vibes) or Apollo (because we watched a moon landing documentary tonight) or Artemis (because we watched a moon landing documentary tonight and this makes one think of the mars missions). i did my due diligence and suggested we call her Sushi but i was shot down fall of icarus style 😔

#some terrible suggestions i had to suffer through included ‘Bat’ (when she is. not one??) Shadow which is too on-the-nose and Needle #which yes arya stark i know but also. she’s only a bit stabby with those tiny tiny claws #one person was ‘we should know the gender 100% first’ okay and who do you live with?? 🤨 #but yeah she is very small and very furious with me for making her go to bed so i see the night fury comparison #artemis is growing on me because you know we’ll end up just calling her Art. which yeah she is #anon #she’s solid ground to me rn i love this little beast

Arya watched them die and did nothing. What good did it do you to be brave? One of the women picked for questioning had tried to be brave, but she had died screaming like all the rest. There were no brave people on that march, only scared and hungry ones. (Arya VI, ACOK)

--

The night she was caught, the Lannister men had been nameless strangers with faces as alike as their nasal helms, but she'd come to know them all. You had to know who was lazy and who was cruel, who was smart and who was stupid. You had to learn that even though the one they called Shitmouth had the foulest tongue she'd ever heard, he'd give you an extra piece of bread if you asked, while jolly old Chiswyck and soft-spoken Raff would just give you the back of their hand. (Arya VI, ACOK)

Arya: *restrains herself from acting out when captured by the Mountain and his men because she knows fighting back/being brave wouldn't accomplish anything*

Arya: *takes note of the temperments of several Lannister guards so that she can learn how to navigate around their behavior*

Fandom: Arya is a feral idiot with no self-control uwu 🤗

#arya stark #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #this is really just a small portion of her intelligence and self-control and yet...people can't stand the idea of Arya being more than #the brawn to somebody's brains. They literally can't handle her being her own character or not comparing her to somebody else #mind you this is all on top of how calculated she us when helping with the coup and planning her escape from harrenhal #none of these takes are even judging her based on the books it's all about her in comparison to [x] character...usually Sansa #Ned's /Sun and Moon/ quote has had a terrible impact on this fandom and their perception of the Stark sisters #Arya HAS to be the /wild + reckless/ counterpart to Sansa's cool + collected/ side lol and it's such a joke #even if you thought Arya was reckless for defending Mycah which is debatable she's gone through so much since then #and she would've been dead several times over if she was really as rash and impulsive as fandom wanted her to be #why people can't comprehend both sisters sharing qualities I don't know but it's hilarious considering this fandom's #/don't pit the Stark sisters against each other/ attitude...guess that only counts when it comes to propping up Sansa #at what point can we start calling this out for the misogyny it is? #fandom nonsense
