The Left white silence on this is not astounding. They were all for reclaiming my time, but as soon as she says some real shit it’s “you’re too aggressive. You’re so angry”

My restaurant is always full because I am, in all modesty, a great cook. But when I close my place at night, here come my favorite clients—stray cats from the neighborhood. I give them milk and feed them with the leftovers. I thank Saint Francis because during the day I earn money and get praised for my dishes and during the night I receive gratitude and caress.

Hobbits: what
i will never get over that you used an image of raccoons for this purpose because it is incredibly accurate
LOTR au but instead of hobbits literally raccoons
Gandalf: well this raccoon found the ring and has been carrying it around. unfortunately we can’t take it off him or he gets very bite-y. so I figure, the raccoon is the ringbearer now
Elrond: what are those other three raccoons doing here
Gandalf: he brought his buddies. I call this one ‘Merry’
Aragorn: *watching Frodo & Sam scamper off in the direction of Mordor* our hopes lie with those raccoons now
Legolas: do they… know where they are going
Aragorn: I sure hope so
Faramir: father why is this raccoon in the livery of the citadel
Denethor: haha doesn’t he look precious
Elfhelm: Dernhelm, is that a raccoon in your bag?
Dernhelm: *sweating nervously* Uh no, sir.
Eowyn, later: And I said no, you know, like a liar.
Denethor: WHY did you let a raccoon go off with the Ring??
Faramir: ….it just seemed like the right thing to do
Gandalf: he scratched you up real good huh
Faramir: ……………gouged my FUCKING arm and bit me on my face
Witch King: no living man can kill me – AUGH FUCK, RACCOON, RACCOON ON MY LEG ARGHHHH

Apparently Tolkien actually did have to specify that Hobbits look humanoid: “I picture a fairly human figure, not a kind of ‘fairy’ rabbit as some of my British reviewers seem to fancy…”
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER WHEN DISNEY MADE ALL THESE TV SHOWS BASED OFF THEIR MOVIES
AND THEY HAD LIKE RIDICULOUS CROSSOVERS
YES, THAT IS HERCULES WITH ALADDIN
AND THEY HAD THESE NEW VILLAINS
(Lady La from Legend of Tarzan)
(NOS-4-A4 from Buzz Lightyear of Star Command)
(Mozenrath from Aladdin)
AND THEY HAD LIKE DARK VERSIONS OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS AND IT WAS RLY TRIPPY. THAT’S LIKE DARK JANE THERE FROM LEGEND OF TARZAN
AND THIS ONE’S CHAOS ALADDIN
AND HERE’S EVIL BUZZ LIGHTYEAR
AND THESE WERE ACTUAL EPISODE TITLES THAT WERE RIDICULOUS PUNS
SORRY FOR THAT LONG POST BUT JUST
I REMEMBERED THESE TODAY AND I LOST IT
IIRC the Tarzan series also had 1. some stuff, like an underground kingdom, derived from the original Edgar Rice Burroughs books, and 2. a couple of recurring characters loosely based on Bing Crosby and Bob Hope in the Road to movies.
Look at this lad. Image: THX, Ltd.The Deep Note, the distinctive synthesized crescendo that is THX’s audio trademark, is one of the most iconic sounds in all of film. For the effects firm’s 35th anniversary, they’ve now shared the sheet music behind the sound.
thanks i hate it
how dare you i love it
I can hear this image and I’m crapping myself as is standard
Can you imagine a choir singing this and how chilling that would sound
The whoosh is in D Major!
It got better: in a capella (please make this guy famous, his talent is unmatched)
*bows to the acapella awesomeness*
That must have been the most unsatisfying thing to record with the MOST SATISFYING RESULT
Also how can Arthur Conan Doyle write a character like Irene Adler 1891 and have her 1. Outsmart Sherlock Holmes and get away with it and 2. Be in no way a damsel or love interest to Sherlock.. But every modern retelling not only has her be a sexual /love interest character but she is posed as being very very smart… But never smart enough to just outwit him, get away with it and move on? Women can be smart, sure, but no one is allowed to be smarter than Sherlock.
It’s been over 120 years and Irene is, at her best, never as decently treated as the original.
Arthur Conan Doyle: Here’s a story about male insecurity where the police underestimate her for being a woman and feel the need to get her because she’s a woman and Sherlock is ultimately beaten by a woman and in a bit of character development accepts it and acknowledges her intellect.
Sherlock fans: Uh no way Sherlock is smart Sherlock is so so smart she must have used her feminine wiles or her sexy things or her love to undermine him but he gets her in the end i feel a strange catharsis at changing this ending but I’m sure Doyle always meant to be this way, it just feels right.
Doyle was literally so scared of Irene that he killed her off in the same story in which she was introduced. Doyle sucks too, it’s not just the fanboys
Irene wasn’t killed off in her own original story, tho, as far as I remember.
She got to leave and head off to start a new life, far away from the King, with her new husband whom she loved very much.
The start of the story begins with a paragraph which states ‘’… the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.’’
The beginning of the story posits that she is dead. Late could also refer to the fact that her last name changed with her marriage, but it seems an odd way of putting it. I don’t think Conan Doyle was scared of Irene though, I just imagine that it’s more convenient. He always wrote his stories with few returning characters and many people in the course of his stories die as a side note. I do get really fucking tired of Irene Adler always being a fucking tease for Sherlock Holmes though. It’s tiring and inaccurate. She beat Sherlock at his own game and taught him not to underestimate women. She married Mr. Godfrey Norton and sailed away from England never to return and Holmes was lucky that the King of Bohemia was willing to take Irene’s word that she would not share the photograph otherwise Holmes would be in Deep. Fucking. Shit.
The original canon had few female characters, but several of them were quite good — I also like Violet Hunter, who solved most of the mystery on her own with only a slight assist from Holmes and Watson at the end, and Watson was literally hoping that she and Holmes would end up together but she went off and ran a girls’s school instead (I’m going to headcannon that young Jane Marple was one of her pupils.)
