Rivet

I have a bit of a crush on her, and I drew this for my wife because this is her fave.

I can't be the first to make this connection

When your partner has a praise kink but you're Montessori trained so you know that praise is an ineffective way to encourage development and it's much more productive to acknowledge their effort so that they learn to effectively give themselves feedback so they can develop a healthy intrinsic motivation instead of deriving their self worth from labels put on them by other people .... "baby it's amazing how much you could last today compared to last week"

saw Elio...🛸💚🍕...The scream I scrumpt.

Make a plan to see this movie. Take a kid to teenager to see it. It's for everyone. I basically had an empty showing. But you need to see it in a big screen.

The scope. The absolute emptiness of the screen when it focuses on a big night sky and tiny Elio looking upward. The menace of the hologram Lord Grigon.

Spoilers under the cut. It's disjointed.

aunt Olgas's book is "parenting "spirited" kids". Oh yeah that's a neon sign that baby has the 'tism. And it fits so so so well.

This movie is for the weirdos (affectionate). Elio gets in a fight and bites a fellow kid. Lilo would be proud.

All of the voice actors killed it. Great lines, great direction and heart. Everything was sincere and had the right gravity for the situation. I missed that.

Aside from a few smartphone shots, this movie doesn't "feel" modern. It could have happened in the 80s - 00s. Which makes sense because before the rewrites it was more "autobiography" like Turning Red and Luca were.

I enjoyed that the kids were kids. Rowdy, angry, selfish, secretive kids that focused on themselves. Elio didn't even want to explain himself and flat out stole the radio. That kid has been hurt before.

Elio's room changed. In the beginning it was full of maps and posters and glow stars that he didn't even need a night light. When the clone was there...all sports. Olga moved the conspiracy board to her room and that's beautiful. I want a screenshot of it yesterday.

Elioese!!! Oh it hurts my heart when he keeps speaking it. And he has swear words! Good for him!

i like the subtle Latino bits. Listening to Latin music, the ofrenda that he yoinks the picture of his parents from to pack for his space trip.

The voyager golden disk being taken and analyzed. Love it when irl science is celebrated!

Glordon is a sweetie. No notes. And the way that Grigon was handled at first, "why try to impress people that aren't going to accept you anyway?" Was oof. Elio why does every other thing you say hurt? Why did you curl up to a skeleton? (Were you there when you lost your parents? Or did they just...leave and you are waiting for them to come back for you?)

and finally. There was breathing room. There was silence and quiet spots. Genuine moments where there wasn't anything trying to vie for your attention.

Great movie. Absolutely going in the dvd collection.

Ok. Bye. I love you.

i was playing pokemon blue on stream earlier at 350% speed and i got to thinking

what if the reason nobody in the pokemon world has any good teams is because its considered a dick move to have a proper team comp

like culturally everyone is like “haha pick the pokemon you want! if you’re happy with three geodudes, thats you and your life!” and then you’re supposed to just have a friendly battle with any other pokemon trainers and whatever pokemon they just happen to have

like the average trainer is probably just walking around with a growlithe because that’s their pet, or a hiker has three geodudes because the geodudes help him with hiking. and if this pet owner and geodude hiker meet, you’re supposed to have a friendly battle but nothing too serious

now imagine the 10 year old kid that has six pokeballs on their belt comes up. you’re like “haha, we’ll have a friendly battle!” and you throw out your geodude 

and they throw out a fucking gyarados, and it one-shots your geodude 

and then you throw out your pidgey you have because the pidgey helps you navigate mountains because you’re a hiker

and then electricity crackles around the gyarados and a thunderbolt flies off of this giant dragon and evaporates your pidgey 

so you’re down to your last pokemon. you tell them you’re gonna send out your bulbasaur. the ten year old is like “oh okay in that case i’m gonna pull out my vulpix.” like not only is this kid walking around with an amped-up super dragon, but theyve also got multiple pokemon specifically for making type advantage counter-picks?

this kid’s a fucking asshole! really, kid? what are you trying to prove here? this is a friendly match between strangers for fun! why are you composing real-ass competitive teams? what a fucker!

Making the Werewolf: The Forsaken/Wisher, Theurgist, Fatalist situation worse on purpose by running a game jam whose only rule is that each submission's title must abbreviate to "WTF".

if you are reading this i want you to stop for a moment and imagine a crab

[lazlolullaby]

so i've come to a realization that i'm still trying to parse what the hell it means if anything, which is why do so many characters i like have a blue/white/black color scheme??? like their primary colors are usually blue with white and/or black accents.

why.

it's baby time again

Round 1, Poll 22

Jim Abel (The Hurricane Job) VS Jim Cordozar (The Card Game Job)

Propaganda:

Jim Abel: Corrupt cop. Beat up and nearly killed a young man because he wanted a winning lottery ticket that the young man had. Took an inn hostage during a hurricane.

Jim Cordozar: Skyrocketed prices for a treatment to a rare life-threatening illness, sending families into debt and killing children. Also holds the formula to the cure, but refuses to manufacture the cure because it would take away the profit he gains from providing a 'treatment'.

You know that feeling of anticipation you get when something let's say a game, tv show, or movie gets announced? And then you get it and it somehow exceeds your every expectation?

I felt it once with Luca and Elio was the second time around. The smile I had on my face almost the entire time I watched this was amazing.

I don't make a habit of watching movies in 3D due to how uncomfortable they are on my face with my glasses but this movie was 110% worth nose pain.

I haven't been this stupidly happy in so long man. I love space, I love animation, mush them together and you get one very happy moviegoer.

I really really truly hate Disney for it's very late and very rushed promotion of this movie, forcing it's fans to pick up the slack and try to get people out there to see this. I also hate the fact that this movie would be so goddamn amazing to see in IMAX!!! Even for one night, this movie deserves the biggest screen possible man.

Anyway get out there and see Elio, it's cute, it's beautiful, it'll probably make you cry, and hopefully it'll bring us more space related animation soon. Also more original movies. Can't forget that one!

[lazlolullaby]

Elio is a really good movie and I really wish it existed in a world where it was given a chance because this movie could really have been some kids everything.

once you remember that you are not in fact catholic and do not actually have to confess your sins all the time things will get better for you. kill the part of you that wants to go into some strangers inbox and tell them why you don’t listen to rap.

Do not think for a moment that this admin is only going after trans folks. They are ultimately going after the whole LGBTQ community. They start small, like getting rid of a hotline option, then go BIG.
