the funniest thing we do to alligators is duct tape their mouths shut when we need to handle them. imagine being a creature so ancient and undefeatable that you haven’t changed in thousands of years being rendered basically defenseless by a piece of plastic
im watchin django unchained and at the scene where candie is introduced and he does the head nod
i was hit with a flashback of when i used funnyjunk and then reddit and how that gif was used as like. the “gentlemanly nod of approval”.
and then i thought “wait why was this guy always used as an example of a gentleman? in that scene he’s literally having two slaves beat each other to death for fun? why is he seen as so cool and not schultz???”
and then i remembered what websites i was talking about
How dare you mock funnyjunk. I created no post sunday once and I can unleash it again you fucking peasant.
ah a fellow gentlemen
you win the internet today, good sir
The point is irony. The guy is a sleazy sadistic slave owner with nasty ass brown teeth who would’ve fallen for Schultz’s ruse if it wasn’t for Samuel L Jackson’s insight, yet he struts around in nice suits talking about southern etiquette, and he just can’t resist bringing a skull to the table to rant about how much smarter he is because he’s white, as if HE was the one who saw through THEM. Candy is a textbook example of a poser and a wannabe, he NEEDS to see himself as clever and cool and oh so high and mighty or else he just can’t cope. His racism isn’t just a symptom of his upbringing, it’s a manifestation of his own numerous, woeful inadequacies.
In other words, it’s a perfect reaction image for the average internet dweller.
Here’s the whole video. It’s called “Don’t Be A Sucker” and it’s 17 minutes long.
don’t just scroll past this actually watch it, it’s only 2 minutes long. If you re-recorded this today word for word with modern actors and places, it wouldn’t even look out of place as a PSA
If you didn’t think men couldn’t stoop so low, you got it wrong. This is probably the saddest thing I’ve had to read in 2019.
……………men are disgusting
🤦🏾♂️ Jesus
When we say men are trash, y’all get mad about us targeting you.
THIS IS WHY WE FUCKING SAY IT!!!!
this actually happens more than you think.
I saw a foreign film that went like this. I think the girl who showed it to me was trying to see what my reaction would be. It was wrong. It was just wrong.
If I visit a comatose friend in the hospital and the nurse insists on being there the entire visit, I won’t even be mad.
Just read Green Lantern: Earth One. Interesting take from Gabriel Hardman.
Here’s a fact: Green Lantern | Earth One is the blueprint for the Green Lantern movie we should have gotten, instead of that mess Ryan Reynolds found himself wading through.
Their version of Hal Jordan was more interesting, and had a better arc, the premise of a rebuilding a shattered corps is a better story to run with, and the characters are more compelling for people who don’t have the advantage of knowing them for years. In the film, the corps was two real actors in an empty room with a thousand digital cartoons and no real characters to connect with. The first moment they stood together should have been inspirational, but it was boring. Here, it’s any jerks who happened to stumble onto an old fossil, trying to live in a galaxy run by murderbots. It has atmosphere, character, and grit, everything that cgi snoozefest was missing.
Our Pearl is the perfect, model standard pearl. She belongs to White Diamond. Pink Diamond has a pearl. This pearl is her total opposite–she’s loud, jumpy, treats her diamond like a friend instead of an owner.
Pink Pearl and Pink Diamond play all sorts of games when alone. Pink shows off her juggling, dresses up with the help of her pearl, and is flirty with her. Yellow and Blue constantly check on her to make sure she’s not goofing off and acting improper.
One day, they play a game of pretend, and Pink Diamond is tired of deciding every detail of what happens in the game. She wants her pearl to play along with her own ideas too. “What do you want to do?” “I don’t know, I just wanted to do this for you. I don’t want you to just do whatever I want.”
Pink Pearl suddenly stops, and starts to break. A confusing order to not do what her Diamond says makes her mind confused and she short-circuits.
This alerts Pink Diamond, and she runs to the other diamonds to try to get an answer for what to do, she accidentally did something to her pearl. The others then learn of the nature of their relationship, and White comes in with a proposal. She will trade pearls with Pink, give her a more sensible pearl that won’t go along with Pink’s antics–a model, perfect pearl. They swap pearls.
White erases her pearl’s memory, wanting to give Pink a clean slate with a perfect personality, and with the help of the other diamonds to give her some color, she is custom delivered to Pink as a replacement. White takes Pink Pearl, and washes her out with her light, breaking her eye due to how blinding the light is. (Alternatively: she is thrown into a pitch black chamber, washing her pink color out and ‘bleaching’ her in the process, breaking her eye.)
Pink’s actions haunt her for the rest of the time she has on Homeworld before she gets a colony after righting her immature ways, finally “proving” herself in the eyes of the others as a diamond to give her her own colony. Pink is easily bored and unhappy with the new pearl. She words her orders carefully, not wanting to again break her pearl.
Eventually, they go down to earth, and Pink is amused to find that her new pearl is the instigator for imagination and having fun.
And you pretty much know the rest.
do y’all think that all this foreshadowing is actually canon like
its there so that steven has “seen this before” in a more “innocent” way (an early s1 episode) and knows how to react in the future like we’ve seen in Familiar relating the diamonds to the main Crystal Gems (thinking emoji)
Rebecca Sugar and company have completely mastered the art of foreshadowing to the point where we probably learned everything we need to know about the entire future of the show in the first season, we just don’t have the correct context to frame it in.
i like korras wintery look so i kept the baggy pants and fur !! her spider symbol is raava ofc and her webs are water based so that means she can freeze them too 👀👀

Scattered thoughts of the terminally confused.
