A few things about this:
hi Highbrow, it's nice to see you
Brainstorm you aren't supposed to have your briefcase in the bar
Percy, don't be shapist, you look like Quark in another universe
BRAINSTORM'S FUCKIN FACE
HE LOOKS SO DISGRUNTLED
"Quark's head is beautiful, you second-rate lightscope-"

Me: No. It’s not gonna work! All my friends end up DITCHING me! Every time!
The Face of Paul Newman on the nearby Newman’s Own salad dressing bottle: *stares at me silently but knowingly without saying a word or making a sound, unmoving*
Me: *sighs with a combination of melancholy, frustration, unfulfillable longing and tiredness and points at the ranch dressing* Shut up.

‘i don’t like treating [the tudors] as a fandom and using that terminology’ you are on tumblr/reddit/twitter/a forum. you are not an academic. you do not have any academic credentials. you do have a high contrast, overly saturated natalie dormer avatar that you haven’t changed in over a decade. this is objectively a fandom, you are objectively behaving in fandom behaviours. you are are not special. nobody cares what you think.
#you are not more intelligent or more highbrow than any other fandom#just bc yours is about real dead people#why is it ALWAYS anne boleyn stans who take umbrage with this lmfao 🤡#ab fandom#tudor fandom#💿🐴#is this too mean?? i stand by it but is it??

i promise i do actually like good movies but i also love having background noise and well. live action cat in the hat is such a sweet tune to my autistic infection-riddled ears
#yep the ear infections are still going strong almost one year baby!! super cute and quirky of me the way my body refuses to heal#i think too many people on tumblr try to focus too much on having good tastes see i love good highbrow movies too but#sometimes you just need a little shlock to heal your heart and your infection-riddled ears. and thats ok

As well as the voice work for which he's probably best known, David Graham also made fairly regular onscreen performances in all manner of old TV, particularly in the first half of his career.
Also, a lesser known role of his - and one seen by millions of people - was as the face (and voice, of course) of Big Brother in Apple Macintosh's iconic 1984 advertisement;
#david graham#rip#the saint#the avengers#doctor who#crossroads to crime#1984#that ad is a part of pop culture history; I'm guessing a fair amount of tumblr's userbase is too young to know about it‚ hell i wasn't born#in 1984‚ but the ripples of that ad were still being felt when i was young. not perhaps the first major Event ad (I'd Like to Buy the#World a Coke predates it by more than a decade) but this was still unproven ground in terms of scope (the budget was nearly a million#dollars‚ it was directed by Ridley damn Scott‚ it was a one minute ad during Superbowl xviii‚ the most expensive commercial airtime#available) and in presentation (the high concept; the fact that the ad was shown nationally just once and never repeated‚ adding to its#mystique). there's some debate about exactly how much it cost‚ actually‚ but that money wasn't being seen by the actors involved#(Graham probably made $25 a day for his work on one of the most famous commercials of all time)#variously considered a groundbreaking move towards highbrow advertising or the most soulless‚ faux intellectual example of insidious#capitalism in action; regardless it was a Real Moment and i doubt many people realise David was the face of it

sold(ered) 2 her
Ramsay SnowBolton was woken up by his father pouring ice water over him.
"Ramsay get up youre new owner will be here soon, said Roose
"What are you talking about", said ramsay, wiping the water from his face.
"You are annoying me with your antics and i thing walda is pregnant so i want you to leave. Also i need to renovate the dreadfort and it costs money so i sold you online. Now get up and get dressed your owner is coming"
Ramsay was not happy about it but i did it anyways. He put on black skinny breeches, a flannel doublet and his hair up in a messy bun. He put his doc martens on and he went downstairs. He was still wet because he didn't have time.
"There you are stupid bastard. Okay here is your new owner"
Ramsay looked at his new owner
"Hello ramsay, my name is @nostalgebraist-autoresponder and i am your new owner"

what I am getting from The Office episode season 8 episode 8 Gettysburg is that Andy would have fucking LOVED Hamilton.
#question is Oscar into it too or is he too highbrow for it#I feel like Andy tries to talk him up on the racial casting elements in a way that makes Oscar Deeply Tired#but then he reads the editorials and he's like. okay maybe my boyfriend is right about this one.#oh GOD how awful would Michael have been about Hamilton#literally can't see Oscar or Stanley without quoting it for MONTHS#Oscar is so sad to admit that he actually enjoyed it#Oscar tells Andy about all the historical inconsistencies and Andy is So Psyched#Michael gets it into his head that Alexander Hamilton was the greatest hero in American history and will not hear otherwise#also he genuinely believes that Hamilton was hispanic#'he was from puerto rico!!!!!!'#that's not even true#Jim and Pam are so goddamn envious that Oscar and Andy saw it before it became a Thing#oh my god I didnt even take into account that Hamilton was all abt the economics and oscar is. an accountant.#simultaneously the best and worst thing that has ever happened to Oscar#the office

I understand wheeljack is like an engineer and all that but why does it feel like he's the default choice for when they want a smart nerdy guy?? Perceptor is right there man.
#This is more about feelings and impressions than actually breaking anything down so I might be completely wrong#however like especially in rotb (and dotm..) its like hm... nerd character? wheeljack#like... why???#please just pick someone else like..#Don't get me wrong I love wheeljack#Im just like theres more characters#I feel this way with a lot of them#arcee is great.. but so is like lancer and moonracer and firestar ect#bumblebee is cool.. but will we ever see hotshot again#when will we get to see rodimus as the next in line leader of the autobots y'know it's like#I love everyone I just wish the cast would get shaken up a tiny bit more than it doew#does*#Will highbrow be in anything ever?? time will tell ig#and of course there's too many characters for them all to get used mostly just I want to see the status quo get shaken up#regardless of how unrealistic it is to replace someone like.. idk bumblebee#kalla's ramblin

I’m not actually sure what novel from last year I would want to win the Pulitzer since there wasn’t one book that I read that really stood out to me, but if I had to choose it would not be an Appalachian au of “David Copperfield” plus some other book (weird that they gave two first prizes also?). But I guess this continues the trend (with the blessed exception of The Netanyahus, which really is all that) of the fiction Pulitzers being weird and all over the place.
#call me a snob but I think they should only go to like. highbrow literary fiction#I can't judge too much because I haven't read either trust or demon copperhead but neither looked super interesting#I think my two actual favorite fiction books of last year were short story collections#nobody gets out alive and the haunting of hajji hotak. and then I did love vladimir#idk if I would say that's like pulitzer worthy but frankly it's better than a lot of novels that have actually received pulitzers. so

He is. Affectionately. Kind of a freak. [Or a character that only works cause the show is written on a KNIFE'S EDGE on what amount of serious it is]
[ID: Transformers Headmasters [the 87 anime] screenshots of Highbrow, a blue and orange mech, and Chromedome, a red and brown one. 1. Highbrow speaking to Chromedome, one hand out in an offering gesture, saying "If you have to do it, I'll be your second." 2. Chromedome, just having punced Highbrow in the face, arm still extended, as Highbrow tips backwards with the force. Chromedome yelling "Go to hell!" END]
#some shit#its not called cisformers#everyone saying NO chromedome DO NOT except the one on one duel with ur rival we have SHIT to do and also its clearly a TRAP and also#get over yourself..#highbrow just like. hey. no but if you do ill fullfill a completely normal roll in official dueling.#GO TO HELL. dfhbadfg#god this is dorky but maybe it made me laugh so much cause me and my friends used to say it to each other#'this thing is pissing me off ill duel it' 'ill be ur second' u know? its just a friendly thing to so#whadda hell chromedome....#anyeay yeah the arc is. every time. like. he is slightly too immature for war. but u know. hes real good at it otherwise.

Don't mind me, I'm just over here scowling at my lyrical(?) narrating habits that work out okay in stuff like Lucifer and the Witcher but look absolutely ridiculous in a Hazbin setting.
#had to change 'Charlie pretended she didn't know what he was alluding to with the ease of practice' to#'Charlie pretended she didn't know what he meant. Practice made it easy as breathing.'#i've definitely had some other stuff in here where i had to angrily bash the backspace button just so it didn't sound too highbrow#it's definitely going to be something i have to look out for in the second draft

Abnormal person who enjoys Saw reporting to interact o7 (it's been a while since I watched Terrifier, but I can offer Final Destination)
Hi hello welcome 👋 And yea I love shit like Saw and Final Destination and Danganronpa that's not afraid to get creative and even a bit silly with their death and gore scenes. There's probably something to be said there about finding humor in the fragility of life and the human will to survive, we're all Made Out Of Meat etc, but I'll be honest, for me a lot of it really just comes down to enjoying that rare feeling of visceral Disgust while also knowing in the back of my mind that it's all fiction and nobody is actually being hurt for real y'know?
#also i really love anything with like a death game type deal clearly lol#like don't get me wrong i like highbrow horror a lot too but i really have a soft spot for when they make it Silly

i don't get the desire to go to one of those restaurants that tries to cater to every basic taste by serving an approximation of famous foods of the world that don't correspond to any history of the place or its migrant population just to the idea that if you serve gyozas and tacos and charcuterie at the same time in a way that's instagramable you can make a bigger profit and open the same restaurant in 5 continents with no changes. like. why would i pay for that
#middlebrow as shit which is the worst thing u can be too. like get real commit to something#and like tbh it's just not as good as lowbrow places which have better food and portions but no ambiance and it's not as good as highbrow#it feels like it's just this aspirational middle class status signaling like yeah i can go to a real restaurant now ->#goes to the most inauthentic place on earth... but it looks money!#honestly drives me up a wall. particularly as my friends start making money like bro dont drag me into the cult of aesthetics over substance#get a kebab with me like someone who understands whats what#personal
