“you cannot kill me in a way that matters” is so raw and powerful but it comes from an incomprehensible shitpost about mushrooms
add it to the list boys
My favorite part of reading Les Mis is when Victor Hugo says “we must be brief” and then plunges into a 40 page description of the Battle of Waterloo
this is the most succinct summary of Victor Hugo’s writing style i will ever encounter
it really pisses me off how easy it is to get sad and then how long and hard it is to get happy again like what the fuck man thats not fair
writing any academic paper on psychology of any kind: as you might expect, freud had a theory about this and it was shit
Following gaud is like falling asleep: slowly, and then all at once.
it’s like getting mugged in a back alley
It’s like saying “oh no oh boy I hope I don’t get abducted by aliens” then laying in the grass outside, waiting to be abducted by aliens.
Tell me what “big _______ energy” I have
taika: here’s this neat symbolism of thor being sent down the same path of his father, shown by losing his eye and having the eyepatch, but instead he chose to be a better man than his father was. also his hammer gets destroyed because he never really needed it, it was just a channel for his powers, and he’s far more powerful without it.
russo brothers: ……………………………….. okay heres a robot eye and an axe
Reblogging for @iunia-kallistrate excellent tag commentary:
#the russo brothers are having the joss whedon problem#joss’ shit was innovative when he started#(performative) feminism 101 on TV in Sci-fi then#was huge#but now we’re all in (actual) feminism 405 and that 101 stuff is tired#the Russo brother’s were kings of the superhero scene when the only bar they had to surpass was Whedon’s#and so they went and did social and moral conflicts 101 stories featuring white men and their sidekicks#but then we got Tiaka and Ryan Coogler#who write social and moral conflict on the graduate level and not the undergrad freshman intro level#and both of them surpassing Whedon’s so called feminism to boot#not that its hard#but you’ve got Tiaka over her writing a female character who can go toe to toe with the boys w/o it being about how sexy she is#Valkyrie is on fire but its not about them#Even the Grandmaster’s little crush is meant to show us how badass she is and not how hot she is#Then you get Ryan Coogler out her writing a fucking dissertation on intersectional feminism and the patriarchy of the diaspora#How are we supposed to go back to the Russo brothers after that#When they refuse to accept that the game has changed and try to break what was built to fit their tired concepts#the same Whedon ignored their character building in Ultron#like kids who brake their own toys because they don’t want their siblings to play
