the novel “Dracula” contains one instance of the word “leg” and one instance of the word “legs” and has no feathers

what is wrong with you people? Where do you get the time? Fuckin, ok. I guess.

���️ the novel "Dracula" contains no feathers

✅️ I'd say it's not bipedal because it doesn't have two "legs" but it also has one "leg" so legs plus leg equals legs now, or whatever.

Fucking, the novel "Dracula", as in the literal manuscript, by Bram Stoker is a Man. Fuck me.

"remastering" LOTR movies to 4K quality is my favourite example of execs' utter lack of understanding of artistic vision and clever filmmaking. WHY are you stubbornly undoing all the meticulous work pj's crew did to make the movies look fairy tale-esque and help the visual effects age more slowly

"this movie needs to look sharper and crisper" have you considered.......... that MAYBE.......... the glowy fuzzy filter is there on purpose................... to give the movies a more fantasy aesthetic and to mask the cgi better..........

but no we have to release the trilogy again and it has to look "better"

I can't believe it needs to be said, but visual effects like these are just as an important part of the movie (which you know. is a visual medium.) as everything else and by "correcting" them, you're doing the artists' vision the same disservice as if you started to rewrite the lines of dialogue

Jason is required to attend the Wayne Foundation fundraiser

It's a fundraiser so obviously Jason will attend it, even if begrudgingly.

Alfred gives specific instructions that he has to look presentable. But he's outnumbered and unfortunately gets hit in the face.

Red Hood: Ugh, that hurt.

Spoiler: Um...Jay...

Red Hood: *has a big bruise across his cheekbone* What?

They try their best to reduce the swelling but can't get rid of the bruise itself. So, they seek help from someone who won't make a fuss about it.

Babs: That's gonna take at least a day or two.

Jason: But the fundraiser is in three hours!

Babs: Hm, you're gonna have to cover that.

Steph: Our talent lies in giving people bruises, not hiding them.

Babs: *texting* Good thing I called a professional.

A couple minutes later, someone bursts through the door with a full-fledged professional makeup kit.

It's Dick.

dick took the news that a strange thirteen year old broke into his apartment while he was away at the circus pretty well, I gotta say

Poof! You've been turned into a random Magic: the Gathering creature type! Spin this wheel to find out which one.

You can find all official art of that type by putting it at the end of this Scryfall search (immediately after "type:", without a space in between).

(Feel free to interpret your results as you'd like within the breadth of that creature type; for example, if you get Cat, you can be a housecat or tiger or leonin, etc.)

got a message out of the blue about that 'why Batman doesn't kill' explanation I left on someone else's post like two years ago but it was just "wait is Alfred dead????" and I sort of forgot that most of tumblr Batfam fandom doesn't actually read comics and so largely has no idea that Bane killed Alfred back in 2019 and he's stayed dead since

Man, if there was any justice in the world, Valvert would be the biggest Les Mis ship by a long shot. Seriously, they're the protagonist and the antagonist. They're FOILS. They're enemies (?) to lovers. They're based on the same guy. They're soulmates. They're old men. They're sad and dead, but have the capability to live and love if they just saved each other. They're toxic. They're the most loving couple out there. They've been alone for so, so long. They're the only people who truly know each other. They're virgins. They're kinky.

And they only have 2500 fics on ao3🤡

This glorious old man yaoi was Victor Hugo's original vision. Let us not forget it.

Taking the current topic as an excuse to ask you to tell me all the reasons you love Rarijack. Your art for the ship is so sweet and intimate I'd love to hear any in depth thoughts you have.

Breathes in.

I think what makes their dynamic really strong is that they have opposing personalities but aligned values. It's deeper than just "opposites attract." Rarity's fancy, prissy, and femme while Applejack's modest, rough, and "masculine." But both value hard work (to the point of being workaholics), their families (both have guardianship over their little sisters), running successful businesses, and eventually each other. Their relationship can be boiled down to, "Despite our differences/disagreements, I still like you because we value the same things."

We see their relationship develop so much. In the first season, they can't stop bickering about surface-level differences. By season four, they still bicker, but will mend their relationship because they can't help but do nice things for each other. In Trade Ya, they start off arguing over personality differences (Applejack likes old junk and Rarity likes useless crap). Then they pivot and start arguing that they value their relationship more than the other. In the end, they mend things by sacrificing their needs and buying each other a gift. Even if they don't understand it, they know it'd make the other happy. And that's all that really matters. It's a genuinely sweet moment that shows how arguing can be healthy and necessary for relationships to strengthen.

We even see them dropping their hang-ups about each others' personalities. In Made in Manehattan, when Rarity runs off in dramatics about someone's fashion, AJ doesn't roll her eyes or scoff, she smiles. Oftentimes, their conflicts are very common domestic conflicts romantic couples face. Applejack's Day Off is about a woman's inability to balance work and life and find time to properly spend with her partner, causing her partner to feel neglected.

By season seven, they're actively participating in each others' interests. Any problems or conflicts that arise are dealt with, and they come out the other end stronger and closer. In Honest Apple, AJ pretty much spells out why their relationship works so well: even though she doesn't understand fashion, she can recognize and appreciate how much work it takes and wants to respect that. When she realizes her mistake in the episode, AJ goes above and beyond to fix things and apologize to Rarity. They care about each other so much.

The two go out of their way, sacrificing their personal desires and beliefs and doing things they normally wouldn't, to make the other happy. That's just love.

There's Simple Ways, where AJ gets stuck in an unwanted love triangle between Rarity and her hipster crush. And her frustration and anger can be so easily interpreted as AJ finding herself in a terrible position; the girl she loves wants another man, and that man wants her.

I dunno. I've always had a preference for opposites attract ships, but Rarijack's stuck with me like a brain worm because they have the perfect chemistry. The way they show they care, or do things for each other, I've always read it as the truest representation of romance in the show.
