cause' it did and it does

the truth of it is that i wasn't that drunk

i was tipsy when you kissed me

but that ain't why i kissed you back

i'll be honest, i've wanted to do that, to do that, do that

(oh so long and oh so bad)

then last night, it happened so fast

i'd do it over, i wouldn't think twice

(cause’ lying here sober, it still feels right)

there’s one y’all should read but i can’t remember the name or author 😀

theo and liam are a little buzzed and they play rock paper scissors and liam says that if they do the same thing, they have to kiss.

that’s all i remember but i know i liked it 💀

[kindest-little-fella-in-town]

forgive the general trashiness and the planner paper background, i did this on the train ride home and it was all i had. anyway, Walk With Me Here, Guys,

The next time you want to withhold your help, or your love, or your support for another for whatever reason, ask yourself a simple question: do the reasons you want to withhold it reflect more on them or on you? And which reasons do you want to define you forevermore?

SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVENT SEEN FAST X

FAST X is literally Avengers Infinity War.

-Dante is Thanos, but instead of collecting infinity stones he’s taking out Dom’s family one by one

-Dom asking Letty “is our baby here” is obviously supposed to mirror Tony telling Pepper he had a dream they had a kid (she’ll probably be revealed to be pregnant in the next one)

-“Former villain has to join the good side because we have a common enemy” trope with Cipher was also Nebula

-The team is split up into mini teams on their own little missions for the same big goal

-They all “die” in the end

In conclusion, Dominic Toretto is now Iron Man and Letty is Pepper Potts. Who do y’all think the rest of the crew is supposed to be?

'There are some trademarks that appear in every Christopher Nolan movie, firmly establishing the filmmaker's personal style over the years. Beginning with his feature debut, Following, in 1998, Nolan's filmography now includes Batman Begins, Inception, Interstellar, and Oppenheimer. Only Memento and The Dark Knight have been chosen for preservation by the National Film Registry, but all of his movies are largely critically acclaimed. As with any long-time director, Nolan's films are united by certain shared elements. Though some may not literally show up in every single one of his movies, most of Nolan's work actually has these elements in common.

Every Christopher Nolan movie is unique across a wide range of genres, yet they are all united by the director's singular vision and storytelling style, which in turn rely on particular elements, themes, and factors in order to be effective. This characteristic is especially true for a filmmaker like Nolan, who has achieved the status of an auteur — a director whose distinct artistic vision has been refined to the point that they are considered to be the primary author of their movies. For viewers seeking a better understanding of the director's filmography, there are at least 10 things that happen in most if not every Christopher Nolan movie.

10. Obsessive Main Characters

Obsession is a quality that can be observed in every main character in Christopher Nolan's movies. From Following's Young Man and his fascination over other people's private lives to the titular physicist in Oppenheimer haunted by the impact of his research, every Nolan protagonist suffers from obsession. While Inception's Cobb, The Dark Knight Trilogy's Bruce Wayne, and Memento's Leonard Shelby all have different goals, their actions are mutually defined by obsessive pursuit. This trademark quality is reflective of Nolan's own obsession with making groundbreaking films.

9. Psychological Thriller Elements

Only about half of Christopher Nolan's films can be technically categorized as psychological thrillers: Memento, Following, Insomnia, Inception, The Prestige, and Interstellar. However, elements of the genre are also fundamental to the entire Dark Knight Trilogy, Oppenheimer, Tenet, and Dunkirk. Nolan is a prolific director in the sci-fi, historical drama, and superhero genres, but through his obsessive protagonists and typically non-linear plots, the mind-boggling suspense of psychological thrillers is constantly present in his films. Among the things that happen in every Christopher Nolan movie, this is the most likely to be present in his future features as well.

8. Non-Traditional Plot Structures

Unorthodox plot structures have also become a Christopher Nolan trademark over the years. He famously refined this storytelling style in the non-linear structures of Memento, Inception, and Tenet. Even Nolan movies with mostly straightforward narratives such as Oppenheimer, Dunkirk, Interstellar, and The Dark Knight Trilogy films still contain elements that challenge conventional plot structures. This is part of Nolan's vision of crafting movies that are considerably distinct from mainstream cinema, which tends to stick to linear plots. Nolan's consistent use of non-traditional plot structures is also connected to what the filmmaker calls the "snowballing effect," which is another common element that Nolan employs in his work.

7. Nolan's "Snowballing Effect"

While this is one of the things that happen in every Christopher Nolan movie, the director described the "snowballing effect" particularly in the context of Dunkirk. "What I wanted to do was take what I call the snowballing effect of the third act of my other films, where parallel storylines start to be more than the sum of their parts," said Nolan (via ABC News). "And I wanted to try to make (Dunkirk) that way, and strip the film of conventional theatrics." Indeed, from his earlier movies like Memento, The Prestige, and Inception, to later features like Dunkirk and Oppenheimer, seemingly divergent storylines converge throughout Nolan's filmography.

6. More Practical Effects Instead Of CGI

The reason Christopher Nolan uses practical effects more than CGI is because it simply looks better and is more grounded in reality. This is a trademark of every Christopher Nolan movie that necessitates the use of visual effects. As Nolan explains, if the use of CGI is not built on real physical scenes that have already been filmed, “it’s going to feel like animation." From the zero gravity fight scenes in Inception and the strange inverted action in Tenet, to the otherworldly scenery of Interstellar and the atomic bomb in Oppenheimer, practical effects and principal photography lay the foundations for the believable and minimal use of CGI in Nolan's films.

5. Unexpected Twists

Many of the shared elements across Christopher Nolan's movies also lend themselves to setting up incredible twists. At the end of Following, the protagonist is unexpectedly framed for murder. Meanwhile, Memento reveals that Leonard himself is the killer he's looking for. In The Dark Knight Trilogy, the twists come in the form of the real identities and motivations of characters like Ra's al Ghul, Talia, and Harvey Dent. Even in the biographical thriller Oppenheimer, Lewis Strauss betraying J. Robert Oppenheimer serves as an unexpected twist, as it was a relatively unknown historical fact prior to the movie. Audiences actually look forward to Christopher Nolan's plot twists in each new movie.

4. Characters Sacrificing Themselves Or Others

The Dark Knight Trilogy revolutionized the superhero genre with its gritty and realistic take on Batman's story, which is ultimately based on heroism and sacrifice. In Dunkirk, the main characters sacrifice themselves so that others may survive the war. Meanwhile, J. Robert Oppenheimer is racked with guilt over sacrificing his principles for the advancement of nuclear fission research. Even the major twists in Tenet are about what the Protagonist and other characters are willing to sacrifice for their goals. Though the theme of sacrifice isn't as well known as most other trademarks found in Christopher Nolan movies, it's actually a uniting factor across the director's filmography.

3. Failing The Bechdel Test

In order to pass the Bechdel test for female representation in film, a movie must have at least two named female characters, they must converse with one another, and they need to discuss anything that's unrelated to a man. Inception nearly passed the test when Ariadne and Mal talk in the third act. However, apart from the fact that Mal in this scene is entirely imagined by Cobb, a male character, the women also essentially discuss Cobb during their short interaction. Although every one of his films has failed the Bechdel test, and most include dead female love interests, there are many strong female characters in Christopher Nolan's movies.

2. James Bond References

Another trademark of Christopher Nolan's movies is their subtle yet constant tribute to the James Bond franchise. “I love those movies," Nolan said of the James Bond films (via L.A. Times). "The influence of those movies in my filmography is embarrassingly apparent. There’s no attempt to shy away from that." Indeed, 007 was a heavy influence on The Dark Knight Trilogy, particularly in Bruce Wayne's suave billionaire playboy charisma and Batman's gadgets, elite military training, and dark past. Meanwhile, the suits in Tenet are actually directly inspired by Sean Connery's James Bond. From the overarching themes to the characters' wardrobe, James Bond references are hidden across Nolan's work.

1. Renowned Actors In Lead Roles

Only the cast of Christopher Nolan's first movie, Following, consists of unknown actors. From Memento onwards, Nolan has exclusively worked with stars. The biggest names included in Nolan's cast lists include Christian Bale, Guy Pearce, Emily Blunt, Heath Ledger, Al Pacino, Anne Hathaway, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Liam Neeson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Michael Caine. Casting renowned actors and A-listers is a common thread among successful filmmakers, and it's reflective of what Nolan has achieved. It may have only started in his second film, but the presence of renowned actors is one of the more consistent things that happen in every Christopher Nolan movie.'
