You know what I've never really seen realistically depicted in fiction? The way that people in places that get a huge amount of snow deal with said snow. Specifically in the cities. I get that it's probably not exactly an intuitive thing to think about if you've never lived in a place that gets a lot of snow, and even if you do, you probably figure that they must have some really sophisticated infrastructure systems specifically for this purpose. It's not like they'll just scoop the snow off the streets and gather it into huge piles, and then just climb over the progressively larger and larger snow piles every single year for months while waiting for the piles to melt in the spring.

We do. There's no point in planning more sophisticated systems to get rid of something that'll eventually just go away on its own. So they just pile the snow into randomly designated spaces that cars or people aren't supposed to go through, and let it pile up. There's significantly less street parking available in the winter because some spots where you could otherwise park a car are currently the parking spot of a snow pile three times taller than a car.

You get used to it. And if you grow up around here, it never even occurs to you to think of it as something strange in the first place.

while gathering pictures of edwin covered in blood i noticed something!!

pretty much the whole time he’s in hell, it’s like THIS ^ with his non-bloody side in shadows, UNTIL charles comes

and then it’s like THIS ^ with his bloody side in shadows

i haven’t studied cinematography or anything but that’s definitely intentional

Characters: Darrel ‘Darry’ Curtis, Sodapop Curtis, Ponyboy Curtis, Steve Randle, Two-Bit Mathews

Summary:

“Dally’s dead. Johnny’s… Johnny’s dead. Maybe I am too. Maybe I really burned up in that church. Maybe I’m dead and this is just another dream. ‘Cuz if this is real life… it’s awful.” He starts to sob and both his brothers scramble to hold him close, “God, it’s awful.” --- In which there’s more time between Johnny’s death and Dally’s, more time to realize what exactly has happened to them in just seven days, and more time to learn that there’s no family stronger than the one you create.

Today I learned that Van Halen have that rider in their contract about “a bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed” in order to know at a glance if the promoter read the entire contract.  And the reason they do THAT is because they once had a stage collapse because a promoter hadn’t read the proper way to set up all the specific technical stuff.

So if the band goes in the dressing room or catering and sees brown M&Ms, they know they have to double-check the stage setup for safety.
