people who are complaining about chappell setting boundaries and asking for privacy with "she's not ready to be a pop girlie yet" make me so mad. why does she have to tolerate harrasment and stalking to be a pop girlie? why is your definition for a pop girlie of someone whose private life is all out in open for you to dissect? why should you have access to her family? why should she be someone who has to nod, smile and say yes to whatever you want fuck off maybe

Hate (affectionate) how it's made so clear from the very beginning of part 1 just how loved Paul is by his family and household. Both his parents, Duncan, Gurney, Thufir, even Dr Yueh all clearly care so deeply for this kid, and we're shown that time and time again.

Cut to the end of part two, and almost every one of those people is gone. The only ones who remain are a weird, came-back-wrong version of Jessica, and Gurney who has gone from mentor to worshipper. Paul goes from someone deeply loved and valued for who he is by a small but caring group of people - to someone followed and worshipped and feared by thousands. They're obsessed with him in a way, as a leader and "messiah", but nobody loves him.

The only one remaining who loves him for who he is is Chani, who leaves him because in the end that love isn't enough to bring who he is back.

One thing for those who have watched The Boy and The Heron or will watch it. The Japanese title for it is How Do You Live? And Miyazaki stated he was leaving it for his grandson, saying, "Grandpa is moving onto the next world soon but he is leaving behind this film".

The deaths of contemporaries and friends such as Satoshi Kon and Isao Takahata and also the expected successor of Yoshifumi Kondo were things that have always weighed heavily on the back of Miyazaki's mind.

He recognizes the industry and the occupation for how soul crushing it was, grinding up either the spirit or the physical body of those who work in it. He loves and hates the industry he stands on the peak of and fully recognizes how it will probably be the death of him. And he knows it'll leave him unable to say a lot of things to his Grandson.

So How Do You Live? is a lesson. For his grandson. For himself. For his two sons. And probably for anyone else willing to pay attention.

Hayao Miyazaki is a flawed man that makes things so important to so many people. And I think more than any other film of his, in this you get to pull back the curtain a bit and see him at work. And what should be this giant unblemished titan can be seen for what he is, a sad old man who had higher hopes for himself and has even higher hopes for the people he makes his work for.

It's a beautiful thing to see another's humanity in their work. To look past the artifice and glam of commercialized art and find humans behind it. And humans willing to show their humanity and mortality is even rarer. And something to be celebrated. So when you watch it. Or if you've watched it already. Understand that this film is Miyazaki kneeling down, weary after years of weaving dreams and making mistakes, reaching out and saying to you that he hopes you can do better. It's an old man who's made all the mistakes of the world passing it on to you, hoping you do better, and making sure you know it's okay if you don't.

How do you Live? By making mistakes. By messing up. But still moving forward. And still reaching out.

Tim has found his soulmate (not a soulmate AU, just in the like “i think we’re totally meant to be together” way). Well, okay, it’s entirely one-sided so far, but he’s sure SpecterNova will reciprocate once they’re in proper contact.

He’s already found everything he publicly can on the youtuber, but he’s still digging deeper. It’s weirdly difficult—his love must like his privacy!—but he’s making headway.

On the other end, Danny is getting nervous about the dedication of his new internet stalker. Even with Tucker’s help in setting up his online security and the scrambling effects of ectoplasm, they can tell that the person is still making progress. They don’t seem like they’re a part of the GIW, but that doesn’t mean their search can’t harm him in some other way.

He really hopes he doesn’t have to change identities again. Having to do it the first time to flee the GIW was bad enough, and he’s been liking his current life.

People forget that while yes, Hozier is some kind of heartbreakingly poetic ancient God, he is also just some random Irish guy in his 30s named Andrew

Of course, she was completely missing from the "On Tour" reboot along with Spring Bonnie and Fredbear. Perhaps they considered it poor taste.

(More Info under the cut!)

So here's my final version of Cassidy for my AU! She's completely fictional, only created for the Fredbear & Friends cartoon. Though she began as a simple TV character, due to her popularity with the children of Hurricane, (and by proxy the MCI) Cassidy began to appear in the realm of the digital dead as a genuine living person. She's effectively a personification of the MCI, being a human child in a world of animatronics. She functions as both guidance and as a mouthpiece for their desires, similar to the golden Freddy kid in the movie.

Once the kids move on, Cassidy is the "demon" left haunting the halls of UCN, with the title of "the one you should not have killed" being more of a nod to each child than being about one in particular.

ok obviously im not against to blocking celebrities and influencers that are silent about palestine but the issue of centering celebs in the palestinian liberation movement is not just when people get really annoying about proving their fav is good from one retweet.

the little blockout thing wasnt a bad idea at first- it did pressure a lot of people with platforms to speak up and whatever, but its a problem when im seeing FARRRR more posts on instagram and tiktok talking about how important blocking these random celebs is over actual news and actual gofundmes.

like seriously hundreds of thousands of lives are at stake in gaza! sure, ridicule an influencer in the comments, share a post or two encouraging people to unfollow/block, whatever. but when you get so obsessed with tracking celebrities instead of uplifting palestinian voices on the ground, fundraisers, educational content, and info about organizing, you have to ask yourself how is what your doing benefitting the movement? this isnt an opportunity for you to sit here and judge morals from the comfort of your own home just so you can pretend you're an advocate to feel better about yourself.

put your energy into something productive. there's plenty you can do to support palestine with that same effort and time.

every time a tumblr post mlb rewrite mentions the fact that they're taking out marinette's 'obsessive stalker' characteristics an angel gets run over by a steamroller and fucking dies

dan and phil don't know what they've gotten themselves into by acknowledging the tumblr posts we put in the phlit. it's like we have discovered a new technology to communicate with them like we've domesticated the carrier-pidgeon or something. australia and the uk take note
