hey my friends and I just all remembered the disney channel original movie “Luck of the Irish” exists so we found it and watched it (don’t do this) and it’s four messes and a half but at the end the main character challenges the enemy leprechaun to a wager and says “if you lose, you’ll be banished to the land of my father, to spend eternity on the shores of Eerie” and the bad guy corrects him and says “Éire,” thinking he’d mispronounced the Gaeilge for Ireland,

and when he loses he’s like “I’m going back to my homeland, and I’ll gain power once again!” and the main character is like “no. My MOTHER is from Ireland. My dad’s from Cleveland.”

and the bad guy gets banished to live on the shores of Lake Eerie in Ohio forever and I’ve been thinking about that for like two weeks now

One thing I really appreciate about Puss in Boots is that near the end, when Puss and Kitty decide to name Perrito, Kitty says:

And Puss replies with:

In English, this sounds a little bit janky - you would probably say "He doesn't look like a Jeff" instead. But in Spanish you would say "No tiene cara de Jeff." Which, translated word for word, means "He doesn't have a Jeff's face."

Not sure if it was intentional or not, but this little detail highlights Puss' Spanish heritage in such a subtle way that I can't help but applaud the filmmakers for it! I've seen so many native Spanish speakers make the same mistake of translating phrases word for word in order to match their Spanish counterparts, and I think it's so adorable that Puss does this too.

i’ve seen a lot of really messed up images in my time on the internet, weird fetish shit, even a few IRL gore images but nothing. NOTHING evokes such a deep seated, gut wrenching fear in me like this image of the fucking water slide from Action Park with the loop in it
