idk if Murdoc would like Shrek or not because on one hand, Shrek was the start of the decline in voice acting. Ever since Mike Meyers played as Shrek, DreamWorks has really set the trend of hiring celebrity voices instead of trained/talented voice actors (this isn't to say celebrities can't be good voice actors, for example, Robin Williams was excellent. It's just that people like Justin Timberlake aren't cut out for it) So it was really the start of Celebrities starting to take over the animation industry (think the Trolls movie) but also.. it's about a green man being a dick to everyone, so maybe he relates, idk

yesterday, I was writing bios for my OCs, and I needed to find a middle name for an oc. I happened to find the name Isolde on a baby name website, and apparently it’s the name of a character from a Wagner opera. I decided it sounded great for my character, tho I know nothing about the Isolde character from opera lol X)
so Isolde from Tristan und Isolde is basically this Irish princess whose fiancé got murdered by this guy named Tristan. Tristan ends up escorting her on a boat trip from Ireland to Cornwall so she can marry Tristan’s uncle, King Marke.
Isolde is Not Having It With Any Of This so she tells her maid Brangäne to make a poison for herself and Tristan but Brangäne swaps in a love potion so they drink and BAM! instantly in love.
obviously, given that Isolde is getting married to his uncle, a lot of problems ensue, Tristan is mortally wounded and ends up dying after the longest death scene in the history of opera, and then Isolde transcends everything, sings the iconic “Liebestod” (go look it up, it’s FAB), and then herself dies THE END!

what's your love story with your husband? you two seem so cute 🥺
the whole story would take some TIME but I can reveal a little of it... @chateautae actually asked today as well and it’s a funny little tale so I’m happy to share it...
my husband was a quiet and brilliant underclassman with the most beautiful blue eyes... he told me once that he used to watch me sing with the acapella group (at the time I was dating his best friend’s older brother)... and he said I was always the girl he compared all the others to...
I didn’t pay attention to him. like. at all. (aside from acknowledging how gorgeous his eyes were)
when we were out of college he—uh—debauched his way through the majority of my friend group (it really is the quiet ones I tell ya) and I was royally pissed at him for (admittedly unintentionally) breaking all their hearts... so I asked him (in the middle of karaoke after poor Liz ran away crying because their FWB arrangement was never going to be more) why he couldn’t just pick one and stick with her and he said “because none of them are the girl I want”... I was very in my feels at that point and I snapped back with “so just date the one you want!”
he laughed right in my face and walked away.
on our wedding day he told me I was always the girl he wanted... but he never thought I’d give him a chance.
Guess he was wrong.

s1 jon's self esteem is so low that he derides the one coworker who looks at him with respect
#and yes its more like he craves desperately to be good enough for the position n so is gripped with the fear that he isnt n overcompensates#which is why martin's view of him feeds into his derision#but. anyway. oversimplifying for the bit#not to say tim and sasha think lowly of him but to them hes just a friend . an equal#martin ALSO has self esteem issues so. anyway love martins character arc over the seasond obviously hes aware from the start that#hes pining for a man who doesnt respect him but. over the course of the series the way he approaches jons past view of him changes.#interesting to think about ...#fuck this is a tag essay lmao i will make a proper jonmartin post w my thoughts on them that doesn't grossly oversimplify. soon.#seasons* not seasond lmao but cant be arsed to go back and fix the typo sorry

I’m so conflicted because on one hand I’m absolutely over the moon that folklore has gotten so many noms because it really deserves it, but I’m also really fucking pissed that After Hours and Manic got snubbed. Both of them are just as worthy of AOTY as folklore and deserve some kind of attention.
i totally get where ur coming from! i personally think that attempting to reconcile one’s subjective, celebrity opinions [ex. thinking folklore deserved aoty] w one’s like, politics/morals/etc [ex. racist grammys] isn’t a very realistic or productive goal; it’s really cool that folklore got nominated! and, simultaneously, it’s just a fact that part of the reason it got nominated was white privilege. i feel like it’s ok to be happy for an individual thing as long as that doesn’t take precedence over acknowledging the larger systemic problems that facilitated it...sorry this is so long and kinda off topic...i agree w u for sure that there isn't, and shouldn't be, an easy answer for this
#this is probably a longer answer than what u wanted sorry#mail#grammys#& grammys aren't a very good metric of who 'deserves' what but rather who has the respect of like. old white guys#which is grossly oversimplifying it but ykwim

kind of an interesting parallel how when Sides was captured & hurt by decepticons Sunny was like ‘hey :( this sucks and I wanna help my brother and make sure he’s ok also lets not be all friendly with Decepticons afterwards :/’
and meanwhile when Sunny was captured Sides was like ‘lmao fuck that hoe’
#its actually really sad but i find it so fucking funny#this is also a grossly oversimplified version of what happened#BUT STILL#olaya speaks

#this is grossly oversimplified but u get the idea#some characters u love to admire and some characters u love to dunk on!

I've read that Pisces is influenced by Neptune and Jupiter. I was wondering how Jupiter influences Pisces...
Pisces is traditionally ruled by Jupiter – its relationship to Neptune came much later, and because of it, modern astrology has forgotten half of Jupiter’s identity. Jupiter, as you know, is the planet of expansion and exploration, but it’s not limited to the curiosity & adventurous spirit of Sagittarius; it also finds a home in the boundlessness of Pisces, the open imagination which can dream up an answer to any question it asks. More so, Jupiter rules social values and enlightenment, which are not properly achieved solely by the fiery nature of Sagittarius without the watery nature of Pisces to reflect with compassion and reverence. Ultimately, there are are multiple facets to each planet. We need to remember traditional rulerships to preserve (and utilize) their complexity.
#answered#we're still learning about the outer planets and we don't have a full picture of our galaxy so#modern astrology can be grossly oversimplified sometimes
