Polish movie poster for Goncharov by Waldemar Świerzy. Due to delayed release behind the Iron Curtain, the film started screening year later in 1974, which is also the year this poster was made. A classic example of Polish School of Posters.

god im going to be fucking hallucinating this video for months ok there’s just so much to this to break down

  • the initial fact they’re talking through a hand puppet with the oobi eyes 
  • the horrible, horrible desynch between their words and the movements of the hand 
  • lack of any clear place the hand is looking 
  • “dwells in the depths”. just the whole sentence itself and the weird inflection on it.
  • the fact that the dude clearly already discovered this thing and was so moved by it they went to record it 
  • wuoah”, and the split second of open-palmed hand that no longer resembles a puppet 
  • the weird fade in on the music and the fact it sounds a little distorted at first 
  • the very specific but undefinable emotion conveyed by the music 
  • the inconsistent zoom

fantastic analysis but you forgot the banana in the chair which is integral to my enjoyment of this video

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

catmask

this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back

additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you

here are more terms! these are all from enérie. it is a really good blog that has lots of fashion terminology and it's a good mix of menswear and womenswear! they also have a book as well compiling all their diagrams. you could also look into getting a visual fashion dictionary for terms as well!

Fanfic is a free hobby.

It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.

Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.

You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.

You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.

Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?

Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?

I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.

Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.

Please don't ruin this for us.

Some of us need it.

Wait I’m sorry parent/child incest fic?????? Why does that exist? Why do you KNOW that exists?????? What the fuck 🤢

paperstorm answered:

I feel like you can sort of tell how long (or not) someone has existed in fannish spaces by how outraged they get about things like this. Like rings in a tree trunk lol. I’ve been in so many fandoms. At least one, but often multiple at the same time, since I was a teenager. I’ve seen just. Everything.

Sex pollen. Mpreg. Incest. Monster fucking. Tentacles. Pairings like Snape/Hermione that would be crazy abusive and illegal if they were real. Wild kinks. The babygirlification of all kinds of villains. So much RPF (the ‘I sincerely believe they are secretly a couple’ kind and the 'this is fictional but it’s fun to imagine they’re in love’ kind.)

You learn to just scroll past shit you don’t like or unfollow people or filter tags. The tldr of fandom is that humans are weird as fuck. And creative, and unhinged, and traumatized, and talented. And amazing. And every single thing that you clutch your pearls about 'well surely someone doesn’t want to read/write THAT!’ - someone does. Probably lots of people do. And those people are perfectly normal. In their offline lives, they’re parents and siblings and they have jobs and friends and they go about their lives and they don’t cause any harm. And that’s the sticking point. There’s this really concerning, frankly highly Evangelical idea that if someone enjoys the wrong kind of fiction, they are obviously a Bad Person. But nothing is that simple, and thought crimes aren’t real, and you definitely have some thoughts or ideas that someone else would find fucked up. You don’t have to like every kind of fic that exists. I certainly don’t. But shaming people for their harmless fantasies about fictional characters is so boring. I saw Goody Proctor enjoying a Toxic Ship! Good for you, I’ll alert the pope.
