ethically yes, you’re allowed to kill ants in your kitchen. but an outdoor picnic? another situation entirely. you came to their home and started barbecuing in their backyard, and now you don’t want to share? you’re embarrassing yourself

why aren’t there more mysteries that take place in nursing homes & retirement communities. i want to watch a group of deranged retirees-cum-amateur-detectives combine their powers of:

  • decades of life experience
  • boredom-fueled busybody shamelessness
  • access to the most gossipy next-door-neighbors in existence
  • “I am too old to be arrested and/or give a shit” attitude

and solve crimes. this should be an enormous subgenre.

flattered that my tags passed peer review:

#their sidekick/Watson/pet hacker is a 15 year old grandkid who hangs out with gram gram on the weekends. her only power is that she has above average search engine skills and flexible knees–which is completely sufficient to round out the group’s skill set.

#they involve her in heist style operations. on the rare occasion she gets caught housebreaking she explains her grandma locked herself out of the condo and asked for help getting in. then this sweet slightly addled old lady shows up and explains she got the address mixed up, it’s so confusing when you’re old & all the houses look alike and oh she’s so sorry to have caused so much trouble!……and meanwhile the teenager is rolling her eyes bc she’s aware gram gram was a highly successful career criminal & con artist for 50 years.

ANYway gimme a 80+-year-old con-artist-turned-amateur-sleuth who loves getting older because people are less suspicious of little old ladies (#this all takes place in florida naturally)

I think often about how when tempted by the ring gandalf and galadriel talk about the nebulous amorphous Great Deeds they would do while boromir talks almost exclusively about how he would save his people. like. dunno man, that’s the kind of shit that makes me want to fucking sob. boromir’s ‘corruption’ is still a desperate and all-encompassing desire to protect and defend. says a lot about a man, i think!

he comes into the story with a wish to protect his people he struggles through a wish to protect his people he dies protecting the people who are immediately next to him you can’t understand boromir at all if you don’t engage with what his view of power is and it’s a responsibility to protect the powerless the tragedy of him is imho that even such a good and honorable worldview can be twisted by the ring - tolkien-feels

#kings and rings#I have so many feelings about Boromir#‘the tragedy of him is that even a good and honorable worldview can be twisted’#that’s it exactly for me#and I think he didn’t fall to the ring first because he was weakest#but because his worldview was easiest for the ring to understand and work around#because it’s a familiar worldview in so many ways#how many elves fell to exactly this temptation?#‘you can save what you love what you are meant to be the warden of. you need only pick up the power to do so’

The older I get and the more responsibility I have, the more I appreciate and sympathize with Boromir.

His character and actions are such a great way to show how purely evil the ring is in that any good you want to do, even something as pure as protecting the innocent , will be twisted into something bad.

I just saw someone say the words “jokingly gaslight” this might be a good time to reintroduce the internet to the terms “lying” or perhaps “pranking” or even just “joking” on it’s own

Okay, say it with me guys…

If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they’ll believe that it’s true, then that’s lying.

If you are giving someone wrong information under the assumption that they’ll ultimately realise that it’s false, and that they will find this funny, then that’s joking.

If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they’ll believe that it’s true and that their response will be funny, then that’s a prank.

If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they will notice the differences between your presentation of reality and their perception of it, and come to doubt their ability to judge what is and is not real, then that’s gaslighting.

now dont leave this in the tags

If you are giving someone wrong information and you assume they will know it is wrong, in hopes that they will play along, then that’s a bit.

it’s so bizarre when animated American films are set in a certain location and then only certain characters have the accents of that place. It makes no damn sense!! like

WHY IS SHE MORE FRENCH THAN THE REST OF THEM???

WHY ARE THESE GUYS MORE SCOTTISH THAN THE KIDS??

image

(also, aren’t they Vikings or something?)

To be fair, almost everyone in Ratatouille does have a French accent. The real question is why Linguini and also all the rats sound intensely American

If it was just the rats I’d say it’s because the movie can be interpreted to mean that the rats understand but don’t necessarily speak human languages so the rat dialog isn’t literally taking place the way we see it but that doesn’t explain why Linguini has a rat accent

LINGUINI HAS A RAT ACCENT 

Do we ever hear like

For sure that Linguini grew up in France tho?

It could be possible he’s just an American immigrant

I mean his name is Alfredo Linguini so I always assumed he was Italian

I’m sorry his first name is Alfredo?

image

What

ALFREDO???

he’s American you guys his mother was American it was mentioned in the beginning

I’m sorry, I’ve moved on to the fact his mother was going through her cupboard for baby names

Alfredo was a name before it was a sauce let’s go over the movie from the top again

image

This is Alfredo di Lelio (right) the inventor of fettuccine Alfredo, he’d come out to the table and make it in front of you by hand

The chap on the left is an airport

I just realised I got my left and right mixed up, that’s happening more and more recently?

The chap on the right looks like John F Kennedy?

This post is a ripe mess and Gordon Ramsay is due to inspect in ten minutes…

neil “i have to be quiet this year” josten looked riko in the eyes while the entire stadium was chanting the foxes’ win and shamelessly said “i’d ask how it feels, but i guess you’ve always known what it’s like to be second, you worthless piece of shit” and i just think it’s beautiful
