Look I super duper love that this crazy-ass eldritch menace only vaguely approximates a horse. Look at that eyeball. It’s NOT a ball. It’s some previously unidentified 4D shape that schlorps around in Thunder’s head and ignores suggestions like bone structure, viscosity, and vision related geometry. Chefs kiss 🤌

(In reference to: How long is too long for teeth to be in a horse)

He’s really only a horse when he’s doing it for the bit - HEYO, pun

Okay cool, but can we TALK about Janani K. Jha???

OKAY SO THIS LADY... OH MY GODS WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN???

Okay, so she is the youngest pun champion in the world.

Enough achievement for one person? No.

She was on a reality TV show 'survivor'

Enough achievement for one person? no.

She is an AMAZING musician, songwriter and singer.

Enough? NO.

Also, APHRODITE????

She also just... Wrote a book??? A whole novella ??? Hello???

Why is she not in the Guinness Book of World records for the most amazing person ever because she broke that record like???? So many times????

And OH MY GODS, I heard she's of Indian origins too??? Which, as an Indian, makes me SO PROUD. Like, what do you mean this super-powered amazing woman is also a part of the amazing people my country birthed??

I'm sorry, my heart is NOT built to contain so much admiration and respect ITS GONNA BURST, miss Janani, please tone down the awesomeness.

[no. Please don't tone down the awesomeness (I don't even think it's possible to tone down Janani k. Jha's awesomeness). We the fans love you to the end of the world (/platonic obviously) even if our hearts spontaneously combust with that amount of love and respect]

!!!NEW REVIEW!!!

this being the longest analysis i have ever written in the 5+ years i've been doing, surely this short is one of the most well-known and beloved cartoons in the entire Warner catalogue. ...or, it could be a somewhat forgotten effort by a Very forgotten director, with Daffy as the star being the only real link to the short's relevancy some 82+ years later!

but such is the price of love for Daffy! The Impatient Patient is yet another installment in a string of Warner cartoons parodying Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with telegram deliverer Daffy being the unwilling victim. Norm McCabe demonstrates a clear understanding and intimacy of Daffy's character like nobody else, continually expanding his emotional capacity and dimension in ways that are all too easy to take for granted. thankfully, neurotically dissecting every little bit of progress is exactly the purpose of this blog!

Little idle thought I've been having recently but I think Cyparissus' story is very important for characterising Apollo and Apollo's love. It's so easy to think of love and loss as two ends of a spectrum, likewise, so often, death is seen as an ultimate and tragic end in love stories - something final and inescapably tragic, the only force that halts love by separating the lovers.

Cyparissus' story is... not that. Yes, the deer dies and one can conclude then that death is once more at the heart of separating two lovers, but I think Cyparissus specifically requesting to die, specifically begging Apollo to let him grieve forever even after Apollo has done his best to help Cyparissus move on from the accident and Apollo letting him is a powerful thing.

Because Apollo not only puts Cyparissus' wishes over his own, he's also able to see past his own building grief to immortalise Cyparissus in such a way that both grants him his wish and allows other people to glorify Cyparissus as well! And I think such a beautiful thing is something criminally overlooked!

It's become something of a joke that 'all Apollo's lovers turn into plants' but from a functional perspective, flowers are the most brilliant way to keep the spirit of a beloved thing alive. Flowers are like stars - as long as there are humans, humans will always contemplate the nature of flowers and as the god of poetry and song, Apollo creating opportunities for his beloved mortals to be remembered eternally even if they never seized glory in the traditional way is such an intimate and beautiful thing. Even then, Cyparissus is elevated to a similar status as Daphne with Apollo's actions - not merely a plant or flower but one that specifically symbolises him, one that is extremely fragrant and beloved by him. Just as Daphne's laurels were synonymous with glory and victory, Cyparissus' cypress became a emblematic of grief and remembrance. Even today, thousands of years later, people still view cypress trees as mourning trees and plant them in cemeteries and use the ash in incense burnt in remembrance of others. How's that for Apollo keeping his word.

One of the perks of having a Tumblr post go viral is that sometimes you see AMAZING usernames in your notifications. I mean look at these, fresh from today:

Not gonna tag *all* y'all because IIRC that messes with a post, but I do wanna give a special shoutout to @tired-stressed-trying-my-best - girl same, @fabioafterdark - fucking fabulous darling, and

Excellent choice of username, @muppetsofficial

He's innocent, he's the only character on Wednesday who has done no wrong, but yet there's people out there who don't like Ajax Petropolus, and it just like really irritates me

If I ever met somebody who said they don't like Ajax Petropolus I'd distance myself away from them because something is not right

i reorganized and cleaned the entire bathroom top-to-bottom including under the sink & my hypomania brain is super down to take out the trash from that and then go reorganize n clean our other shower. however instead of doing that i am laying in bed typing this text post because as i finished scrubbing the bathtub, my body decided it had hit a HARD stop and that we will NOT be using our muscles for anything else for a while. currently cannot even move enough to get the painkillers on the other side of the room much less figure out, like..... dinner. the one drawback of hypomania is that i cease to notice physical fatigue. i anticipate that tomorrow might be Difficult.

however.

MY BATHROOM IS SO CLEAN :DDD

got curious as to why people were so desperately requesting stuff on my wemm-centric fic and realized that MOST of the duos requested have LESS THAN TEN FICS... flamebu's not even canonized.. wemmpear has 3.... wemmvit has 2.... fraud duo has 2..... nuke trio has 6..... watobu has 2-3.......

LIKE I FELT LIKE I WAS LOOKING AT A SMALL, STARVING, STRAY KITTEN/PUPPY..... MY FELLOW WEMMLINGS???? ARE HUNGRY!!!!! I NEED TO FEED THEM!!!!

but also realising maturity is way more random than anyone wishes it was & WAY too many people spend their entire lives at the same maturity level as like age 20. unfortunate

So an amazing thing happened this week…

[whitehartlane]

have a lot of time for trent speaking in spanish at his madrid unveiling. obviously not everyone can learn a language to that extent but i think especially english footballers who go abroad could be putting in a lot more effort to learn the language of said country. they have the time and the resources to do so. players from countries outside of europe are always quick to adopt the language of the european country they’re playing in so it shouldn’t be any different the other way around!
