okay wait absolutely insane that brennan asks murph what riz is most afraid of, and he says “being wrong” and “not being able to save kristen,” but instead of yes and-ing, brennan hits him back with

no actually, riz is still working through his asexuality and is deathly afraid of everyone coupling up and forgetting about him in favor of their more important significant others

i think murph is so good at playing riz that he agrees that riz’s biggest fear is failure, but he truly knows it’s just the surface-level concern that’s covering the real fear of being left behind by all the people he cares about, because he’s not like them and he’ll likely never be like them no matter how much he wants to or pretends to be

Hayao Miyazaki could make a secret garden movie. He’d probably change things, he always does, but I don’t think I’d mind if it was him doing it. He understands children and grief and the restorative power of nature in a way that few filmmakers do

I had a dream last night that I was trying to translate something into Italian and I discovered that Google Translate had added several languages that weren't,,, actually languages?

Like they had one called 'Neurotypical' that took cryptic double-meanings and made them straight-forward, and they had one called 'Corporate' that translated bureaucratic bullshit into plain words, but the one that I remember most clearly was called 'Passive-Aggressive Asshole,' and it looked like this -

In the dream I also put in "You're so welcome" and it translated it to "You'd better be grateful, you fuck."

The Battle of Trafalgar, as Seen from the Mizen Starboard Shrouds of the Victory

Artist: Joseph Mallord William Turner R.A. (English, 1775-1851),

Date: 1806-1808

Medium: Oil paint on canvas

Collection: Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom

Description

This painting was praised as the first ‘British epic picture’ because it combines key moments of the Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805) in one composition. At bottom left British naval leader Horatio Nelson collapses on the Victory’s deck, shot by a French sniper seen high up in the right-hand ship’s crows’ nest. French flags are lowered, conceding defeat. These moments are set within a wider view of the claustrophobic, smoke-filled combat zone. Trafalgar was a bittersweet moment for Britain. Celebration of victory over the French and Spanish navies mixed with grief over the death of naval hero Nelson.
