#it was SO good actually

[theromanticrationalist]

Just found out that a super secret third “Big Bang Theory” spin-off show could be in the works. If it isn’t a Sheldon and Amy domestic dramady, then I don’t want it! I seriously could watch Sheldon Cooper’s entire life Truman Show style. 😭

ok ignore how im watching youtube shorts SLOP!!!!!!! at 6am.

look. the colour scheme :/ man of st.eel & ba.tman vs su.perman were such UGLY looking movies (not just in the costume department) like i get the vibe of this scene i guess (but even then the colours dont fiiiiiiit) BUT THE WHOLE MOVIE IS LIKE THIS. ITS HORRIBLE

and im hust sat here gigglinf and kicking my feet at this little cl.ois snippet. and i really do think this guy had it in him to be a good s.uperman. like... he LOOKS the part (not his fault the costume was fucked.) LOOK AT THE CAPE ON THE FLOOOOOOOOORRRRRRREER okay. pllease.

ITS KIND OF AWESOME and the way hes surrendered sitting in handcuffs. but. still showing off his superhuman power 😏 I SEE YOUUUUUUUU AND I LIKE IT i do like this little moment. (mostly because cl.ois)

but ughhhhhhhhhh yeah nothing could save those movies. maybe. maybe if there was more focus on cloi.s id like it more BUT A LOT OF THEIR SCENES JUST PISSED ME OFF BC S.NYDER CHANGED SU.PERMANS ORIGIN STORY IN THE MOST BIZARRE WAY POSSIBLE. WHAT WAS GOING ONNNNN i understand rhey were trying to modernise the character but what? so much of it was so stupid and cringey and unnecessary and just made me ANNOYED!!!!

also it pissed me off so bad that lois knew straight off the bat that clark was s.uperman WHERE IS THE FUNNNNNN :((((

Had a dream last night and like??? My brain just made up a whole SONG in my sleep??? And it was good, too. Like really moving and beautiful. I can't remember any of the words but the title of it was Rhapsody for the wanted, I think, and it was this very beautiful sounding duet with a very good sounding string backing track for the words and I want to listen to it again, but I can't because my brain MADE IT UP.

Behold, one of my best friend's Halloween costumes, recorded and uploaded by a complete stranger with over a million views on tiktok! (I'm so proud!!)

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names

"hey why are all the barrier garments like linen shirts or chemises or combinations going away?"

"oh we have more washable fabrics now! you don't need to worry about sweat reaching your outer clothing when you can just chuck it in the washing machine!"

"cool!"

[100 years later]

"so uh all of those new washable fabrics are leaching microplastics into our water, and the constant machine-washing wears garments out faster. they're also not really sturdy enough to be mended, so we keep having to throw them out and now the planet is covered in plastic fabric waste that will never break down. also it turns out that the new washable fabrics hold odor-causing bacteria VERY well. so could we get those barrier garments back please?"

"sorry babe linen now costs $100000/yard and since it's been so long without them, nobody knows how to adapt barrier garments to the current styles anyway"

"..."

"maybe try this new $50 undershirt made of Special Sweat-Wicking Plastic Fabric! :) :) :)"

Y’all want Taylor Swift to be gay so bad but you won’t even write femslash about her

[I.D. an edited version of the "is this a pigeon" meme. A man with glasses, captioned "my overstimulated ass" points at a butterfly, captioned "someone making an annoying noise". At the bottom of the image, a dialogue caption reads "is this a crime deserving the death sentence?" end I.D.]

The day FNAF Charlie Emily was shut out..

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

There is something really, uh, telling, about how Jimmy Carter’s presidency was widely considered to be a “failure,” and he also is INARGUABLY the U.S. president who has done the most to promote human rights around the world.

It’s extremely telling, about the U.S. nation-state as a political project and institution, about the federal government as a structure, about the nature of imperialism.

To reference a friend of mine, he was the only U.S. President alive in our lifetime who could avoid the International Criminal Court.
