Gotta respect Supernatural for how it always committed to making Sam be like "Cas is fine Dean, really, please don't kill yourself I'mbegging" every time Cas went MIA

Maurice girlies (gender-neutral) it's my duty to inform you that a Vietnamese LGBT movie channel have made a fan reconstruction of the 1987 movie, by adding all deleted scenes (which include establishing wayyyy earlier that Alec works at Durham's, establishing Alec's bisexuality, Maurice's beautiful ending monologue to Clive, and many more) resulting in a movie that's almost 3 hours long, and uploaded it to youtube (with English subtitles!) here!

old movies, public domain, classics, other such things: the read-more edition

this is a carry over of my original post but under a read-more for more extensive and readily available editing. updated whenever possible

the purposes of this post continue to be “eclectic” but to be “brief”, is for people who enjoy consuming Media and want to have online resources on hand to find them, especially when they are non-contemporary, non-mainstream, and/or on the obscure side (but not always!). it has evolved far beyond what the title says basically

feel free to send your own resources!

Spoke to a gen z person the other night and apparently the young folks don't know about the very legal sites from which you can access public domain media (including Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and other Victorian gothic horror stories)?

Like this young person didn't even know about goddamn Gutenberg which is a SHAME. I linked to it and they went "aw yiss time to do a theft" and I was like "I mean yo ho ho and all that, sure, but. you know gutenberg is entirely legal, right?"

Anyway I'm gonna put this in a few Choice Tags (sorry dracula fans I DID mention it though so it's fair game) and then put some Cool Links in a reblog so this post will still show UP in said tags lmao.

Here’s a playlist to explore the intersection between violence and sex and love and hate and the versatility of a large size family van that might not get you where you want to go, but always gets you where you need to go.

guys what does "bub" means??? because in the Spanish version every bub is translated as daddy so he just keeps calling Deadpool daddy and I just wasn't expecting that

arguably the worst take i’ve seen on sam and dean’s relationship is by someone who “doesn’t consider dean as an example of a parentified child” because, and I quote, “he was bad at it”. are they forgetting that dean was only 4 years older than sam?? of course he was bad at parenting a child who was barely younger than him… (and even then he arguably did a better job than john did) it was a serious take as well

A long time ago, I read a post where the OP argued passionately that we shouldn't evaluate Dean's "parenting" performance with Sam even when speaking of it purely in positive terms, because evaluating whether he did a "good" or "bad" job at parenting another child means—to a certain extent—perpetuating the narrative of parentification itself. Judging the child's "performance" at parenting necessitates sorting parentified children into categories of "good" or "bad" based on how well they shouldered their own neglect. That post has stuck with me enough that you won't find me talking about whether Dean did a good job parenting Sam or not. Parentification has nothing to do with whether or not you were "good" at being neglected and shoved into a malformed pseudo-adulthood. The simple, key fact is that Dean wasn't a parent. Dean was parentified.

One of the major wounds of parentification is that you are not qualified to parent a child. You are a child yourself. Despite this, you are held to the standards and expectations of an adult and parent. You are set up for failure and then when you inevitably fail, you are judged for your failure and the guilt of that failure follows you even though you could never have succeeded. In Dean's case specifically, this experience is the driving force of his overactive sense of responsibility and guilt.

I do think the fact that Dean tried so hard to fill the role of mother and father and be enough made failing anyway even more painful and traumatizing.

And I... I had to be... more than just a brother. I had to be a father and I had to be a mother, to keep him safe. And that wasn't fair. And I couldn't do it. And you wanna know what that was like?

I know Bridgerton follows specific stories because it is based on books (I haven't read them so don't know much about them) but I can't stop thinking this since season 1: I WISH Bridgerton had the Downtown Abbey style about telling the story of the servants alongside the story of the nobility.

I mean, Bridgerton is great but from time to time I just get tired of rich people and I'm so damn curious about some of the servants. Like Varley! I really enjoy her scenes and I would like to know more about her. Or Colson, Simon's housekeeper, she was motherly towards him, a very interesting character. Or John, Eloise's foot man, he is so cute. Or Rose, who was a honest friend to Daphne.

Sometimes I just want to know what's going on with them 😔

“They’d never been lovers, of course, not in the physical sense. But they’d been lovers as most of us manage, loving through expressions and gestures and the palm set softly upon the bruise at the necessary moment. Lovers by inclination rather than by lust. Lovers, that is, by love.”

— Gregory Maguire, Out of Oz
