every time a curator adds one of our iNaturalist observations to a project I feel like I've won some kind of award. I'm getting a good grade in spotting little creatures. we saw a mosquito yesterday and it's been added to a project tracking various mosquito species and their behaviour. fuck yeah

The number one most endearing thing to me about tgcf is the way the flashbacks make me feel like I’m watching Hong-er grow up. I feel like I’m watching a montage of that trembling little kid gather every ounce of courage and strength the world has to offer and slowly learn how to become somebody he can be content with. Somebody who has likes and dislikes, desires and preferences, and especially the freedom of choice, the freedom of anything, really. So now when I see Hua Cheng, legendary ghost king Crimson Rain Sought Flower, all I can see is that little kid who grew up. And that kid was always loved by the one he wanted to catch up to most in the world. He achieved exactly what he wanted and he deserves every ounce of power he’s acquired.

Peter Lorre: Monarch of Menace
"The story is the ground I walk on. If I know how to walk — understand the character I am playing — I must go in the right direction, and the character must be 'right,' convincing, interesting to the audience. If the ground crumbles under me, I am lost." -Peter Lorre, 1936
"A cordial, friendly chap, a bit past thirty, is this man who burst upon the consciousness of film-goers with his terribly realistic portrayal of the gruesomely warped creature in the German production, "M." Short, (he's about five-feet three), stocky, (his weight is about 160 pounds), Lorre has sandy-brown hair, brushed flat and close to his scalp from a part that makes a line as straight as a draughtsman's rule at the left side of his head. His is a beaming, smiling countenance..."
An adorable article. The errant quotes abound.
"Lorre's training for his art was most unusual, resulting from the application of his own very original idea."
and
"Three great psychologists have repeatedly tried to induce Lorre to abandon acting for psychology."
Are among the "Say what, now?" category.
From Screenland (May-Oct 1936).

I've spent so much time IDing things on iNat over the last few days that now when I see random photos of creatures on here I start mentally sorting them into the lowest taxonomic category I can identify them as being in before realising there's no button to suggest an ID because this is Tumblr not iNaturalist

I’m going to cry.
Is there maybe an ending where he got voted and we both survived and got out together? 🥲🥲
On the brighter side, I’m totally going to make this my computer background ^^ (I love making things that cause me suffering my background)
