percy, holding out his fist in his palm: ok wise girl. rock paper scissors time. if i win, i get to pick the movie for date night
annabeth, doing the same: fine, but if i win, we move back across the country to that house in westchester that i love
grover, looking over in alarm: what?! how is that even—
percy, nodding firmly: deal. rock pap—
#grover is so alarmed#im sorry but you cannot convince me that percy and annabeth don’t make huge life choices based off of little bribes and competitions#ok obviously they talk about things in depth before and have to both agree it’s right for their family#but once they’ve mostly made up their minds the final decision making process is extremely unserious#percabeth#percy jackson#annabeth chase#pjo incorrect quotes#grover underwood#incorrect quote#pjo#heroes of olympus#percy jackson and the olympians#rick riordan#riordanverse

Viago: *turning in their chair and flicking the light on* You want to tell me where you've been all night?
Rook: I was out with Teia?
Teia: *turning in their chair* Wanna try again?

having a lot of thoughts and feelings about this comparison
#arcane#jinx#praying this new look means she starts embracing both sides of her instead of quote unquote letting powder die like silco wanted#hoping silcos death means shes free to make her own decisions and decide who she wants to be without someone manipulating her#and changing her perception of herself and those around her

Love that Oppenheimer is a deeply disturbing horror movie about a man forced to accept that he is, in a person, the representative manifestation of mankind’s evil in committing one of the greatest horrors of human history - LITERALLY acting as the modern Prometheus, tormented by his sins for the remainder of time. Knowing that he will never be pitied and his actions will forever be utterly unforgivable because the blood of genocide and the potential of total human annihilation will eternally drip from his hands.
But also the simultaneous indictment by the film that to blame a single person for the Manhattan Project is to refuse to accept your own capacity for great evil if the ends ever seem to justify the means, and the culpability of every member of a species that lets itself create something so unspeakably terrible.
Hate that twitter’s take on such a nuanced and brilliantly handled examination of those issues is “movie bad because protagonist not evil enough.”
#what’s that quote about the problem with othering the enemy in media is that we can no longer see our own reflection in their eyes#oppenheimer’s motivations WERE sympathetic that’s the POINT#we SHOULD feel uncomfortable with our sympathy for him - the film goes out of its way to make us feel uncomfortable about it#we should be uncomfortable with the fact that we might have made the same decisions as him in his place#yes he’s evil but his evilness represents the evil that we might all accept in ourselves#twitter simply cannot handle nuanced takes on things ig (tumblr does though - the posts on here have been surprisingly excellent)#oppenheimer#(tldr - look if you walk out of Oppenheimer thinking it somehow celebrates the man then you may need to retake 9th grade Literature srry)#films

"The first thing that came to me was I didn't want to make something obvious for my solo...This solo album is purely, entirely mine, so my thoughts play the biggest role. The difference is that I have the biggest input in it...while working as a group, when we filmed NCT 127 music videos, there were many times when it was a lot about my face shot just close up. There are a lot of those moments, like 0.1 seconds of [a close up shot] of my face. I was that kind of member, so up until now, if I showed that image a lot, there are more things I can show beyond that as well. I've got lots more to show...so what I thought was I wanted to do something different from what I've been showing since debut, different from what people expect of me." - Jaehyun, "The Journey of 'J' | Part 2"

No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair.
- General George S. Patton
Patton never minced his words because he lived them out. The great World War Two general believed he could not lead his men effectively unless he got his hands dirty himself. That way he could understand exactly what he was asking of them. Hence his belief that a good leader should, “Do everything you ask of those you command.” His inspirational style and aura rubbed off on people fighting beside him, and it came from setting a personal example.

Ricciardo opens up on his McLaren departure: “I didn't care anymore" | Goodwood Road and Racing
#daniel ricciardo#m:sm#dan#red bull redux#HELLO???????#i know people have posted parts of this but it's NOT ENOUGH!!! THERE'S SO MUCH MORE!!!!#and even this i would say isn't all of it#the christian of it all!!! the simon of it all!!!! going back expecting ridicule!!!! so fucking loved and doesn't even know it!!! INSANE!!!#also that first quote about christian specifically mentioning simon is soooo like. simon IS coming back and daniel's gonna make sure of it#whether that's convincing simon to do it of his own volition or just reiterating over and over how impactful that was for him#to the point where OBVIOUSLY christian is going to have no choice but make the executive decision that simon needs to come back temporarily#just to help daniel ease the transition back#but of course all of this is happening knowing that the second simon gets a taste of that magic again there's no way he's giving it up 😈
