forced immortality is a fun trope. unappreciated. someone/something wants you to remain so it makes you. it will not let you die
dry humping in its specificity as a term implies the existence of wet humping
not my best work
I feel like all the jobs for hot weirdos have disappeared. Where is a goth 6th year college undergrad supposed to work without a 24/hr photo studio? Where should a tired, old looking young man with big earrings work if not at the electronics parts store? Where is someone with the most asymmetrical and androgynous haircut you've ever seen supposed to work if not a record store?
stop earning advanced degrees i need you to finish your fanfiction
a depressing thing about hollywood is that the actors are still coked up and malnourished and emotionally abused but they can’t even dance like they did in the 1950s. like oh wow you’re gonna write, direct, and star in an eight-episode humorless comedy miniseries about the most difficult breakup of your life where you come to terms with the fact that you were partially to blame and love wasn’t enough to save you???? sooo cool. can you backflip off a wall three times? can you do fourteen hours of takes while having aluminum paint directly on your body? fucking dunces.
One thing I really appreciate about Into the Spider-Verse that I don’t see people talk about very often is how competent they portray Peter B as.
Like, in any other movie, you’d have a similar character whose live has become a mess, and they’re sad and kinda pathetic to look at, and when the time comes for them to step up, they just sorta…flop. They’re held back by everything, and they just become incompetent.
But Peter B is different. Yeah, he’s a sad, lonely, middle-aged man who cries in the shower while wearing a spandex suit…
But despite all that…he’s still shown to be extremely good at being Spider-Man.
He escapes from being tied up while still holding a casual conversation
He takes down Miles in less than 10 seconds.
He strolls along the side of a building like it’s nothing.
And when you think about it, over the course of the movie, he kicks a LOT of ass. He’s a badass super hero, despite his flaws.
You ever notice how, when he puts on the mask, his gut sorta disappears? That’s too big of a detail to be an oversight. That’s intentional. I mean, in-universe, it doesn’t make too much sense, but to us, it’s meant to show that it’s not holding him back from being a hero.
He’s not held down by everything. Yeah, he’s a jaded, depressed, mid-life crisis Spider-Man. But he’s still Spider-Man.
They easily could’ve made Peter B sort of pathetic and had him be more of a hinderance than a help during battles. But they didn’t. And I feel like that was a really good way to pay respect to the character while still showing that he’s a heavily flawed individual.
Congrats to @bisexualbeowulf for having the absolute worst response to this post in the form of this tag
Lex Foster is the character of all time. She can't spell. She saved the universe. She's the Stock Girl at Toyzone. She Bested Pokotho. She wants to be an actress. She's an honorary member of PEIP. She's her sister's primary caregiver. She went to prison for drug dealing. She thinks adults have more holes. She burned down the lakeside Mall. She held her shop teacher at gunpoint. She rips up her tests when she gets frustrated at them. She's trying as hard as she can to provide a better life for her family. She talked to wiggly without being possessed by him because she's just like that. She had sex with her boyfriend in a bounce house. She thinks she's worthless. SHE SAVED THE UNIVERSE.
So many things would be better if doctors could just say “yeah that is a real problem but there isn’t much we can do to treat it so our only real recommendations are other things that raise your general health level to compensate”
instead they just say “thats normal” or “oh theres nothing wrong with you”. Because in their mind “it wont kill you and i cant fix it” means its not worth mentioning.
Affirm the problem doc, it wont kill you. Knowing that something just isnt the kind of thing doctors treat will save your patients so much time, money, and stress, all of which will improve their health.
really fucking boils my cabbages when the right is completely correct that something is a problem in society they're just hyperbolically stupid about why.
eg falling birth rates are not a problem because something something the future of the white race and they're a sign that modern women aren't sufficiently interested in staying home and making babies. they are however a problem because a society with no economic safety net is not prepared to manage a demographic shift toward having more retired people than working people and they're a sign that millions of adults in 2026 do not feel financially stable enough to add to their families
In Knives Out, Ransom makes that comment about "our ancestral home" and Benoit bursts into laughter reminding him that his grandfather bought it off an oil magnate in the 80s
in Wake Up Dead Man Jud talks about how the fancy church is a lie, a story, it's built to mimic the old churches in europe and england but it definitely hasn't been around as long as the architecture implies
Rian tell me more about architecture and real estate please I am seated I am listening
my niche version of "he would not fucking say that" is "he would not fucking carry that baby to term" for mpreg headcanons. sometimes there is power in recognizing that a fictional man WOULD get a mabortion
