Legit crying at that baby tapir the world is so beautiful
You are like if a watermelon was the night sky and had a magnificent nose

if vampires existed in real life i think there would be shady companies advertising "organic blood" sourced from "willing donors" who are coincidentally all poor people being paid like $5 per blood donation. and like haughty vegan vampires who only drink a synthetic blood drink thats brewed in a way thats actively worse for the enviroment. and radical traditionalist vampires who go on tiktok and claim that true alpha chads have to drain and kill people and anyone who leaves their victims alive is a liberal cuck. enter the world of hypothetical insufferable vampire politics with me.
books, being mostly made of trees, are also connected, and talk to each other through the lexical mycelium

I think I've said this before but you're really missing the forest for the trees if you laser focus on the meme and fanfiction references and label them as completely out of place, these books are dripping in intertextuality with sources ranging from high brow to low brow to middle brow to a secret fourth brow. this is a narrative fundamentally about necromancy and refusing to ever let anything die no matter how much it really really should be allowed to die, the constant references and allusions to contemporary earth culture are part of that. this is a society that died all at once ten thousand years ago and has been kept on life support ever since by one fucked up guy who really believes that he can get it all right this time and finally get back the world he killed if he just does it this way, no shit he references dead memes in the middle of conversations.
Im bawling
I have reposted this before but I am always impressed by how well-thought out every spot is. There is no good place to sit. “Oh, Eomer’s cool, I’ll sit with him” but then you will have to listen to Gollum and Bilbo the entire flight. “I’ll sit with Sam!” Pippin and Merry will be turning around the entire flight to talk to him. Sure, you can sit with Elrond, but you’re going to deal with him staring down Aragorn and Arwen. You may love Legolas and Gimli, but will you love sitting BETWEEN them? Just when you see a spot that seems okay, somewhere behind or across the aisle is a terrible option. This is so good. No good seats on the LOTR plane
no i think 17 looks good

Two favorites from my Shirley Jackson shelf.
i think when actors need to leave a show for whatever reason but the character is important and doesnt need to be written off / writing them off would make the story worse i think they should just hire a new actor for the character but, and this is the crucial bit, hire a similar-looking actor of a different gender. Yeppp they look different bc they transitioned between seasons. Obviously
my understanding and interpretation of Mary Oliver’s “Wild Geese” cannot be untangled from the fact that it was originally published to follow her poem about childhood sexual abuse, “Rage”
i just don’t think it was unintentional that these were presented flush against each other
The Locked Tomb tv show but every time they’re in a River bubble everything looks like props in a stage play. The skeletons are just people wearing Halloween skeleton costumes. The blood is all very obviously fake. They do magic effects with streamers and spotlights.
The only ‘real’ things are when the river water starts leaking in and destroying the cardboard set of Canaan house Harrow has created. You see the audience only one time and it’s empty except for the shadow of Gideon lurking far to the back of the theater. Abigail asks “is this really how it happens?”, the lights switch off, and stagehands can be made out moving the set pieces around in the darkness before the light turns on and Harrow is in a new au.
does anyone have the screenshot of the comment on the youtube video of molten iron slag being poured where it's a guy describing his experience witnessing the same thing written in the most beautiful prose imaginable
@f2tal @barabones with your key addition of 'seagulls,' i was able to find it!
