They Cloned Tyrone has a lot of good twists but my personal favorite is in the first few minutes when they start talking about Spongebob and you realize that the movie does not in fact take place in the 1970s
#they really nailed that '70s aesthetic#I was so thrown off for a minute#they cloned tyrone#juel taylor

I swear this is gonna be my last polin post (no it’s not)
I neeeed a parallel to that scene in season 1 where colin says he was a fool to fall for marina’s trick (or whatever it was he said, haven’t watched season 1 in a hot while) and Penelope said he wasn’t and that he just thought he was in love and if one finds something like that they need to declare it assuredly, fervently, loudly. Preferably the parallel where he declares his feelings assured, fervently and loudly happens at their engagement ball
#bridgerton#season three#polin#penelope featherington#colin bridgerton#she fell first he fell harder#colin x penelope#like i need it#riots will be thrown if it does not happen#he’s just so proud to be her husband and penelope stands there blushing immensely#eloise would be off to the side moping because she hates this#like yes lady whisteldown and all but eloise please let then enjoy their five minutes of happines#we all know it comes crashing down anyway#are y’all ever sick and tired of me posting about them everyday?

mourning the fact that we didn't get my fave parts of the end of the book that i think would've worked great in the show :(
#namely lestat getting set on fire or thrown off a building and the louis/armand break up dialogue#like i liked the first 50 ish minutes but the tonal shift at the end gave me some whiplash so i'm gonna have to re-watch it for sure#and i know some of the plot gaps at the end are meant to leave ppl confused and will get answered in the future but that still means that-#i'm confused rn lmao#iwtv spoilers#vampterview

my self-insert ass would get killed if allowed within five feet of any angel though because im not a winchester and i cant keep my fucking mouth shut
#you put me in the same room as lucifer its gonna be three minutes before the words ‘daddy doesn’t love you so you’re breaking his toys?’#come from my mouth in a mocking tone and then im getting turned into meat chunks.#i do not respect them and my self-preservation comes second to my need to be an asshole to people with daddy issues#dean winchester can get away with saying these things because he’s a main character. i cannot.#if i show up in a trickster episode im gonna fucking end up looking gabriel dead in the eye and asking him if he misses his older brother#so bad he’s gotta torture his vessel! AND IM BEING THROWN!!!! IN A WORMHOLE!!!#i dont think id even have to say anything to michael i think he’d just sense my vibes are off and burn me to death#on the other hand im gonna call raphael a nietzchean trout of an angel and theyre not going to get that reference or know what the fuck that#means and thats why they’ll kill me. stabbing me to death for being annoying#akshfkfjskd selfshipping is OUT. how would your favorite characters resent you for existing and plot your murder is IN

The first and last time Ushijima lets either one of them ride a horse with him.
BONUS:
#click for better quality#in case tumblr doesn't like my rez and all that#haikyuu!!#ushijima wakatoshi#hinata shōyō#kageyama tobio#shiratorizawa#all three of them share a braincell#i LOVE them for that though#art#crnl's journal#VERY long tags#alright here's the pitch:#ushijima recalls their first visit and how obsessed they were with the horses and thinks#hm since they held their promise i should invite them over for a horseback lesson as a treat#ushijima loans them “borrowed” jackets and helmets and boots from the locker room for them to use#kageyama claims to have rode one before and ushijima doesn't think to ask about when#hinata has never rode one so ushijima sticks with him to explain the process#not even five minutes after letting kageyama out of his sight he gets thrown off his horse#hinata falls off his from laughing so hard at kageyama#and ushijima sits there looking at both of them for a minute#he's not sure if he's more disappointed in them or himself#both horses run away but he has to get them back to the maingrounds#obviously that means throwing them over his horse like sacks of potatoes draping a dazed hinata over an embarrassed kageyama#he won't admit it but out of the entire afternoon the first ten minutes were his favorite#to make it easier on him he asks for help from tendou and gets it from about five of the boys#simply put it did not go very well

The duality of life is so crazy. I was back on campus today, I’ve been feeling pretty ancient all week because it’s been frosh week which means I have to deal with the fact that this year’s class graduates in 2028 (that’s not a real year) and were born in 2006 and 07, years that I can remember writing in the margins of a school notebook.
I'm walking around campus for the beginning-of-year campus clubs fair, and it's all, people love me, people think I'm cool, people are coming up to me saying they like my fit, in the meanwhile I'm internally getting jumpscared thinking wait; these incredibly well-dressed kids are approaching me whilst I'm shovelling fucking peanuts into my mouth out of a bag in my tote bag
There comes a point when you officially get Older and become invisible to cool young tiny things, and then you can do whatever you want because they sort of stop noticing you. I've been feeling a bit old this week, I'm at Big Person work, everyone around me is like half a decade younger, we're at quite different stages in our lives, I've been thinking. But I also have the sort of face that would pass me for a 19 y/o clearly, because these kids all have pulled me in like I'm some sort of counter culture bohemian trendsetting cool kid, and whatever the hell that means, it's definitely instantly made me feel a lot younger and connected with 'the youth'
#it's funny saying that because I am literally the exact age that you'd call youth#but if you're in a student-y area you're bound to feel old the minute you hit 22 because you're now older than 3/4 of undergraduates#fellas. I am not 22. I feel fucking historic sometimes. The kids look at me in awe because I saw Greta van Fleet live in 2019.#That was not even their first tour but these kids were 14 when that happened. I was old enough to go alone#(This is also why I have been feeling like I've got to move eventually. Student towns are great at perpetually being 21#You go to a real city and the young people are 30#Also my planned city is where all my favourite bands tour so it's a win-win#it's just I've been So Scared because I don't know anyone in said city and I work remotely out of elsewhere#Eventually I will take the plunge. Maybe next year! It'll be a bitch to rebuild but you know. Can't stay stagnant forever)#chitter chatter#I'm still a little thrown off when cool-looking people think I'm cool. My mum thinks I dress like a slob lol

Also one of my classrooms got moved and its a lot farther now and it should only take 8 minutes to walk there so like 5 for me but like i only have 10 minutes to get there
#also one of my classes the dude locks the fucking door the second it hits 12 when the class starts i read the syllabus already#and like thats fucking weird imo i get respecting peoples time but like someone quietly coming in and sitting down 2 minutes after 12#isnt that disruptive hell its not disruptive when anyone comes into a class at an odd time imo#like we are in college are you gonna allow yourself to be distracted and completely thrown off by the door opening?#that seems like a skill issue#it'll be fine but it was all set up so nicely and now its not

I’m trying so hard not to cry on the employee bus rn
#I’m so fucking done with my job#I left work early because I’m not feeling good#and all my coworkers are giving me the passive aggressive cold shoulder#when I told them I wasn’t feeling good (I’ve literally thrown up twice in the 45 minutes I’ve been at work)#they basically told me to fuck off and get back to work#so I just left without telling them#let’s see if I have a job tomorrow!!!#fuck I’m crying#I hate it here

Stray Media Criticism(TM) thought I wanted to get down before going to bed...
I feel like you can really tell when a work is relying on its fanbase to do all the heavy lifting. They'll scatter disparate breadcrumbs of characterization and character dynamics, introduce ideas and themes that never really get followed up on, and either have a lot of buildups with no payoff or a lot of hollow payoffs without the buildup to justify them. You can hear them rushing to get to the good parts without doing the nitty gritty in-between work that would make them meaningful--prioritizing individual moments and grand gestures rather than the wider story. And I'm sorry, but that's just not an effective way to tell a story. Show, Don't Tell is a key creative writing rule for a reason. You can't just show your audience a cool scene in isolation and go "How did we get here? It doesn't matter, but write some fanfiction about it!" There's nothing wrong with encouraging fan creators, but you have to actually write a well-paced, fairly airtight story to begin with, not just rely on the Internet to connect all the dots you couldn't be bothered connecting.
#That's why I find 'mystery box' writing so annoying--because if you're a lazy asshole about it you don't have to *actually decide*#what the twist/solution is until the very last minute when people have already made a ton of tweets and theory videos about it.#You *cannot* outsource your foreshadowing and character development to your fans--you have to write that shit yourself.#Otherwise you've only written about half of a good story and just thrown up your hands and said 'fuck it' to the other half.#Brought to you by 'Amie is tired and needs to get off Tumblr for a while'... :P#the schemer speaks#media analysis

every time i go to take these goddamn pills i forget how to swallow what is UP with that .
#and it does NOT help that they taste so fucking bad. and dissolve so quick. i’ve almost thrown up like three times this week#also cause i wanted to comment on it but not make a Poast about it — the histal being a mild sedative would be somewhat worrisome if not for#the way the side effects annoyingly amuse me akxkskfnksc like i get loopy but not laughing gas loopy —#like i’m in control of what i’m saying but my inhibitions are much lower and i can tell my words are slightly slurred skdjskjd it’s what i#imagine being high/tipsy is like for you guys? i wouldn’t know so i can only guess#and i do appreciate the way they get me to sleep but i doubt i would ever take them solely for that purpose bc of how bad they are at it#like i do get sleepy but then i don’t even fall asleep for a good while like half an hour and then when i’m ready to get up it’s like woops!#you’re too tired! so i’m up for like 5 minutes and respond to messages or eat a nibble or whatever and then i’m knocked out for another hour#and it’s like that for the whole day and i’m like Okay. Thats Not The Point Here.#and for those reasons: you have been chopped. <- can you see them taking effect?#i said that and i meant to say it. but does it make sense#not much! anyways. off to take these other two pills. pray for me#stop talking abbie

Oh I found my original head bonking tags
More head bonking in tags
#the one I don't mention cuz he doesn't have a lot of residual damage from it is witj the minotaurs#he gets thrown against a wall from a minotaur backhanding him to the face#basically a giant minotaur about 4x his body weight smacks his head and he flies across the room knocked out cold#he is out for maybe 2-3 minutes tops but by then the two minotaurs already get to manhandle him however they want#so he is limited in how much of a fight he can put up#they finish with him and hes left with his head ringing and his body aching and mostly feeling bad because he believes he disobeyed a direct#order#like despite all that trauma he feels most bad for allowing the minotaurs to use him because it was against direct orders#King is furious when he finds out but not at Atumu#Atumu feels awful and ashamed and apologetic and believes King is mad at him#King is just so mad and he cant believe this has happened and he is also angry thst Atumu thinks he would be mad st Atumu for this#he is mostly mad at himself for allowing this to happen#Atumu tries to apologise and King cuts him off with one of my favourite lines#'Do you think I care so little for you--'#KingTumu

so in regards to the bat charm, esp in the hella awesome banquet mv!!!!
the tag itself is called ofuda, a protective talisman!!! there are many different types of ofuda (omikuji are also classified as a kind of ofuda for instance) and throughout the hella awesome banquet mv, we do see the bat charm used as said various types!!!!
here in these two shots, we see the bat charm used as a senjafuda!!! senjafuda are these talismans with personalised designs that, once upon a time ago in japan, were passed around in secret councils like trading cards. ofuda typically have a deity written on it to call for luck, wealth, health, whatever said deity presides over. senjafuda, however, tend to have the person’s name on it and when people would go on pilgrimages, they’d stick the senjafuda on temple shrine gates like a very decorative ‘we were here’ tag lol
fits with the journey to hell narrative that seems to be happening in the mv!!!
and this type of ofuda is known as fuin no ofuda!!!! this one is used as a type of seal to keep evil, vengeful spirits enclosed and away from humans. the more powerful the spirit, the more seals are required to contain in the enclosed space. it’s already a little worrisome to see imagery of kuukou getting killed but this puts a evil spirit/vengeful spirit spin on top of it 🤔
#this is vee speaking#and i want to say there’s a traditional buddhist ofuda in a shot with jyushi#where the will o wisps are blazing on the charms behind him#those ofuda are imbued with the spirit and virtues of different buddhas and buddhist deities#but will o wisps are dead spirits lingering so hm 🤔#and lol ofuda (お札) and bank notes in jp are written the same way (お札=osatsu)#so anytime the bat charm was falling on screen was bat making it rain—#i’ve been thinking if kuukou does have progressive memory loss that part in the mv could be a ref to it#it hasn’t REALLY been that long since we’d had kuukou associated with some sort of death imagery when the mv came out#like kuukou had thrown out the name of the tree gautama buddha died under in his cross a line verse lol#but MAN it feels like it’s been a minute since i had to think about it lol#still hoping all these death red flags kuukou waves around like a pro flag bearer don’t mean anything LOL#EDIT: posting as is but even tho this may have been only a hint to kuukou’s ability#i am still concerned WHY it needed to be depicted this way#it could be a red herring kinda thing to throw you off the trail and that might be what i’m hoping for lol#c: kuukou👑#c: jyushi#c: hitoya

sometimes establishing systems and methods between people is like pulling teeth like I am. trying. so hard. to make this system so we can communicate better but please please meet me halfway oh my god please this is so simple we've been over it together what do I need to do to make this click for you just tell me and I'll do it
#quil's unholy underworld#i KNOW i KNOW my parents mean well but oh my GOD#i have made this system so simple why are we still having problems I'm gonna screAM#context: i need transition time to switch between things and respond to things#so I asked my parents to stop knocking on my door to ask things (which disrupts me) and instead text me about it!#and they were like yeah sure! we can do that!#great :)#and then we encountered a slight issue so I established a thing#five minute rule. if you've sent me a text and I haven't responded in five minutes that means I haven't seen it and you can come knock!#you'd think that would be simple! at least I think it is!#text me and give me five minutes :)#except BOTH of my parents continuously forget?? or just straight up don't understand that?#20 minutes after my dad sends me a text I'll come out and he'll be like I just figured you were busy :)#like. that is considerate but i /told/ you five minute rule! five minutes means I haven't seen it!#which then means I get thrown all off because i'm scrambling to adjust to feeling behind and answering whatever he was saying#and my mother had a whole situation with it the other night where she came knocking three minutes after sending a text#which I didn't hear because music so then it really threw me off when she opened the door to wave her hand inside (didn't actually come in)#and then she thought that meant I'd /always/ take five minute to respond and was unprepared for another convo because#responded too early#like please guys. please. i'm just trying to make it easier to communicate in ways we're all comfortable and clear with#and I know they're not doing it maliciously! they're just not as meticulous as me#and so situations like these happen#but like. aeoiahweoifawne. please. it's so simple why are we struggling#it's been several months. we've done it like this for several months maybe even over a year#why are we still having problems please#and it's not a big deal but also GAH#rant in tags

when someone asks me if i manage to get good sleep while camping and i go into my incredibly specific sleeping setup that allows me to sleep like a rock without fail
#base: ultralight sleeping mat. 1/8’’ foam rubber that protects and holds inflatable pad in place.#then inflatable pad. blown to about 90% fullness#sleeping bag 3/4 zipped up. inflatable pillow blown up to ~60%#duffel bag/backpack thrown into left half of tent so my sleep kit is precisely wedged between bag and door#i’m precisely wedged between bag and door so i can’t roll off the pad. and the bag supports my back#boom. perfect comfort. i fall asleep in 10 minutes and do not wake up til the morning.
