REMEMBER:

if you don't understand the post at a glance it's because op wrote it wrong and needs your help

if the post doesn't contain all the contextualising information you need to understand it, op is gaslighting you

if you haven't experienced the phenomenon the post describes, op is making it up for clout

if you haven't encountered the type of person the post describes, they're a strawman that doesn't exist

if the post doesn't address a topic you'd prefer to talk about, it's a distraction, missing the point, and talking over you

if the post makes a good point, it is your duty to contribute to human enlightenment by nitpicking it to be more correct

and most importantly:

every online conversation is a competition and you must win

METROPOLIS — 1927, dir. Fritz Lang

[edgar-allan-possum]

Watched Metropolis (1927), and enjoyed it a great deal. For as silly and over-the-top some of the body language is, it gets the point across without spoken dialogue, and I actually was feeling on edge during the third act.

Henry the eighth this Henry the eighth that for a lot of churches the loss of ornamentation was primarily due to Oliver Cromwell but I don't see any of us on his case.

Whenever I’m on the street children throw large pebbles at me and say “This is only somewhat due to your bad tumblr posts. There are multiple reasons for this.”

I started reading dune recently partially due to your posts about it and am concerned to discover that it compels me.

Dune is viscerally compelling without being traditionally good. It insists on its own sprawling importance but is starkly detached from emotion in a way that feels almost mythological in tone. Every single point of view blurs into each other until it feels like they’re actors in a play on their thousandth run of this thing. All the thoughts just read like asides to the audience. The narrative literally says you, look: what is about to happen is so important that it is gradually grinding the humanity of every character involved to dust under its weight. Captivating.

Realized the other day we got kinda Neville Longbottomed by Ferb. Couldn't let this thought go without including the entire, wholesome Flynn-Fletcher sibling unit!

Teenage Supergirl design sketch thing idk

Mostly inspired by her 2000s comic look and DSHG (g2) look because I think they're fun, although my favourite Supergirl comics are her older ones not the 2000s ones

Sakura: Hori-senpai, when you first met Kashima-kun, did you think she was a guy, even for a second? (recollection) Hori-senpai: Man, was I ever surprised! Sakura: Wait! What kind of timing is that to realize it?!
