word vomiting for the 25th about the scene ever that i will forever care about till the end of time

A big idea in velvet goldmine is that we’re seeing everything from an outside (arthur stuart) perspective. We will never fully see from these characters perspectives because we are not them and never will be. If you’re not really paying attention to the movie, it becomes easy to interpret curt and brian’s relationship as superficial but with these short moments, you see how that might not be the case.

Everytime curt and brian have some form of genuine intimacy, the movie makes it a point to take it off screen, almost to preserve the privacy of their actual relationship. Them leaving the orgy to somewhere more private, us only getting two momentary scenes of their holiday together, and their fight being private up until the last second. Jerry makes them have this public image, but their actual relationship is just for them and no one else.

Bringing the conversation back to the holiday, this scene actually kills me. It’s this small short moment of them just standing there together, holding each other. It’s not for show, no one else is there, it’s just them, this is just for their own comfort. This scene solidifies their relationship in concrete. We don’t need to see the whole thing to see how visibly tender they are with each other. This is their private little getaway together, we only get a few seconds because this isn’t ours to see, this isn’t ours to ruin.

Another thing i think is important about this scene is that it shows that this relationship isn’t one sided. Even though brian was the one that gave up on the relationship, there was a point in time where he loved curt. and while people may not agree with me on that, i think it just makes everything a whole lot sadder, because his fame did truly take everything from him. I also find this crazy because he has a whole wife????

and obviously the most important part, THEY DYED EACH OTHER HAIR!!!! THEY GOT HAIRCUTS AND HAIRDYEE!!!! THEY CHNAGRD THEIR HAIR TOGETHER!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😪😪😪😪

i must not get takeout. takeout is the wallet-killer. takeout is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the kitchen, fridge, and pantry. i will make choices about what to cook and then execute them. when hunger is gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.

WE GOT IT

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

Reblog the fundraisers you mfs!!!!! I don't know why you all skip those to reblog some pic of a banner saying "FREE PALESTINE" or of news from Columbia University! Literally these people from Gaza have made an account on Tumblr and is writing in english to communicate what they need and you all are coming onto my blog or on the tag and not reblogging their posts. We have people both Palestinian and non Palestinian vetting the fundraisers! I mean more the reblogs, more the chance of the fundraisers gaining momemtum, the more there would be a chance of a donation. Please donate if you can and reblog!!! and follow them if it is possible.

@/mohammedayesh has posted about getting leaflets, telling them to evacuate Rafah. They are very low on funds. Go follow them and reblog their posts and donate if possible.

We have @/haneenatya too whose mother is suffering from eye stroke and need to evacuate. Please I have been following them for some days and it doesn't seem their own posts are getting much attention.

Follow them! They are on tumblr. Reblog their posts and donate. The protests in universities are being done on account of them. They should be our focus.

(EDIT: on re-reading my post it seems as if I am dismissing all that the students of universities are doing. I am not. I just meant, since all of it is to help Palestinians, we must not ignore them when they ask for help).

Like I literally have second hand embarrassment for Vox after seeing what Alastor ACTUALLY is like in a rivalry.

Like homie wishes he could be that close to Alastor 😂😂

the amount of ways we have to qualify the geoncide in gaza in order to get people to care is actually sickening to me. “it’s a feminist issue!” “it’s a disabilities issue!” “it’s an environmental issue!” like i’m sorry but even if this was happening solely to able bodied men and was causing no harm to the environment, it would still be wrong because it’s a genocide and these people are being bombed and killed and starved every fucking day. you shouldn’t need an extra label to give you a reason to care about people that are dying.

new niche just dropped

edit: there’s a pattern of something something wanting to protect their partners from what they know to be horrible

If true we HAVE to make this the biggest flop in gaming history, as in 'destroys the company' levels of gaming flop as in a 'lesson must be taught' gaming flop, as in 'E.T. destroyed atari' gaming flop

My baby daughter got her adorable puffin-print dress absolutely CAKED in mud crawling around the yard and my first thought was "oh no her beautiful dress"

And my second thought was "oh huh it really WOULD be easy to unconsciously steer her away from playing in the dirt. Unlike my son, whose outfits are usually some kind of solid dark easily washed pants plus a shirt that doesn't trail in the dirt like a dress does."

Anyway something something gender roles start getting shoved on kids from literal birth, but with a little time to think about things, YOU TOO can let your children of any gender absolutely destroy their clothes in the dirt pit they're digging in your garden

Watching how two dogs who love each other will sometimes still nip each other on the ear, bug them while they sleep, etc... watching how cats will snuggle with their buddy all day and then paw-smack 'em in the face, chase them, play-fight...

Makes me, as a fellow social mammal, feel better about my urge to be incredibly annoying to another human sometimes. Like, yeah. Of course I wanna bug you. Of course it's fun to annoy you. We're social creatures and annoyance can be part of play, something we all need. And I watch these dogs who get their ears nipped, cats who get smacked out of a nap, and despite BEING annoyed, they don't stop loving their packmate. After they finish play-fighting, they're back to snuggling and grooming and sleeping together. BEING annoyed is also just part of being in a social group and having relationships... and that's okay. It doesn't erase love or necessarily make them mad or affect them in the long term... a loved one being annoyed with me is a temporary feeling that's normal for social creatures. An annoyance that wouldn't be possible WITHOUT that love

we need to bring back inviting people over for cake and coffee. my grandma used to do that all the time and I think it's a lost art

Kinda crazy how my first cellphone didn't have a camera or internet and 17 years later this thing knows more about me than I do and gives people brand new mental ilnesses.
