Random Galadriel moments: 127/?

my favorite part of mash is the random unmentioned probably ad libed background shit. i just watched bj empty a salt shaker into a sugar bowl in the middle of the conversation and no one even looked at him. similarly i’ve seen charles continuously add salt to his entire tray for 30 consecutive seconds. shenanigans like rubber chicken polishing or paper clip chain assembling/dismantling were more likely in the script, they’re happening in the foreground to be noticed or it’s mentioned in the dialogue, it’s the stuff that feels like genuine boredom and the actor messing around trying to make their costars break that feels extra special and even MORE organic than the winding of yarn we see more often than actual knitting. like real people trying to spice up the everyday repetitive drawl

THOR: THE DARK WORLD 2013 | dir. Alan Taylor

the thing about astarion is that i do think that he is COMICALLY his own worst enemy but i also recognize that the reason for that is that he hit a sharp genre shift at 100000 mph. one second you're the hot and kinda tragic but expendable minion of a d&d boss and the next you're the romancable companion in the party. this little man was built to have his lore discovered in a notebook while looting his corpse after you've killed cazador and all the sudden everyone's like hey astarion. do you want to sit by the fire and tell us about yourself :) we all like you and want you happy :) and he's like what the fuuuuck. what the fuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkk????

however i do still find him funny about it, sorry man

art theft isnt what it used to be. now you can just right click save. you used to have to break into a museum. there were lasers and stuff. you don't even have to have a grappling hook anymore.

✦ LINDON ✦ Part VI

[theshatteredsilhouette]

obsessed with star trek repeatedly writing themselves into a corner by creating alien races that are supposed to be The Bad Guys when that explicitly conflicts with their previously established notion that no group of people is inherently good or evil.

first it was the klingons—they’re originally supposed to be this cruel, bloodthirsty, war-obsessed people—and then tng comes along and it’s like wait no maybe war and violence is a part of their culture and actually ties back to ancient traditions and philosophies so we have to be woke about it.

hey these are the ferengi and they’re supposed to represent everything we hate about capitalist society; they’re greedy, scheming, profit-obsessed, and they look like ugly little trolls to emphasize how much we fucking HATE capitalism. oh wait fuck here comes deep space nine and we have to recognize that they’re PEOPLE. okok what if the pursuit of profit is actually part of their culture and ties back to ancient traditions and philosophies. so we have to be woke about it.

this is the borg, they’re a hivemind race of cyborgs who have no sense of individuality and their only motivation is assimilating people into their society. they want to assimilate humanity and we are completely defenseless against them because their technology is eons ahead of our own and they’re incapable of being reasoned with. oh sweet we have a borg prisoner this is the perfect opportunity to commit genocide against them. fuck actually we can’t commit genocide we’re woke and communists and in space.

hey these are the cardassians, they’re part of a cruel and vicious empire which is supposed to be a representation of fascism and authoritarian regimes, they’re a cold, bloodthirsty people with no sense of empathy or compassion, their society literally references 1984 on multiple occasions, and they’re known for the insanely cruel and inhumane methods of torture they use against their prisoners of war. we hate the cardassians…….. except, here’s a cardassian kid who grew up on bajor, and……. fuck. he’s a person. now we actually have to consider his humanity. and being racist is actually……. bad.

this is the jem’hadar, they’re genetically engineered soldiers who have no sense of individuality and only live to defend the state. they’re all born addicted to a synthetic drug that’s manufactured by the state and administered by their masters—this is how they’re kept subservient. they’re ruthless and powerful and they’re incapable of being reasoned with because their only motivation is violence and killing. so we should kill them all, right? FUCK….. what if they’re actually people. goddamnit. now we have to consider their humanity.

hey these are the romulans. hey these are the founders. the list goes on. i just find it really interesting

So I’ve been watching Murder, She Wrote and I paused partway through an episode when I went to work this morning.

It must have started playing on its own, because my partner texted me to tell me my computer started SCREAMING.

I had paused right after the murder 😅😅😅

A year ago today I got my first (and only) Galadriel swatch - and look how far we’ve come!

Yes, this costume has been a year in the making, and you know what, I love that timeline. I love working slow and focusing on the details, crafting something that will last for years and years, and holding myself to that high standard.

There will be more pieces added to this costume later this year (cloak, bracers, belts, quiver) but for now I’m sooo excited that version 1 will soon be wearable! I’m aiming to bring this to both ConnectiCon and Fan Expo Boston 🙌
