*checks notes* so, you win...uhm... a quick sketch of the old Bertram in his iconic White Jacket TM.
"And wore it, sir?" "Every night, at the casino. Beautiful women tried to catch my eye." "Presumably they tought you were a waiter, sir."
This is one of the funniest lines jotaro ever uttered.
OK the joke is funny but. But. Listen. I wanna take a close close look at his face here.
Look at him. He’s terrified. He’s so so scared that everything they’ve gone through up until now will be for naught if he dies because he’s the only one who can defeat Dio. This child has his mother’s fate (plus the entire WORLD’S fate) on his shoulders and he’s so, so scared to fail everyone.
Jotaro was seventeen during SDC. My little brother is almost seventeen. He’s a kid. Hell, I’m almost 19 and consider myself a child still. They were all so, so young. Jotaro saw his closest friends die horrible deaths at only seventeen. He had to kill all those people at only seventeen. And he wasn’t allowed to be weak. He wasn’t allowed to be scared. Jotaro had to be the tough guy for the team because everyone leans on him even though he’s one of the youngest (youngest being Kakyoin who’s born five months after Jotaro).
Even his grandfather, who literally fought FOUR pillarmen, a fuck ton of vampires and is also literally the oldest and authority figure of the crusaders; dumps this responsibility on Jotaro.
And that frame hits me because his front slips. He’s facing death and it’s one of the only moments in the entire fucking series that Jotaro just. Allows himself to show fear. He has to be strong but at this point he just can’t anymore but he still pushes through it.
Jotaro is a tragic character. I understand people saying he lacks depth but I will defend him until my last fucking breath.
He was only seventeen.
okokok umm......i think mikitaka our autistic icon <33

“When you’re addressing power, don’t expect it to crumble willingly. If you’re going to say, ‘Hey now, look you guys, please look at what you did and look at yourselves and punish yourselves and at least try to square this thing, right?’ — well, you’ll make slower progress at that than you would expect. I mean, even the most modest expectations are going to be unfulfilled. Think about it. Today there are still people all over the world who maintain that the Holocaust didn’t happen. There are people in the United States—people among that power echelon we speak of—who maintain that all slaves were happy. There are those power symbols that always say, ‘Well, it was for the good of the states. It was for the cohesion of the political process.’ There are myriad justifications for denial. There are also people who say, ‘Hey, after thirty years of affirmative action, they’ve got it made. Black people—it’s their own fault if they can’t make it today.’ Yeah, well, of course they say that. And they say it not just about black people. They say it in every country. We did something for you people, whoever 'you’ are. And we think that’s quite enough now. That’s the gist of it: we’ve done something, and we think it’s enough. It may not be perfect, but it damn sure comes close to being okay. Now let us hear you applaud that for a little while. And thank us. And you can take that hat off your head when you come in here thanking us. That’s the way it is. But let’s not get stuck there. We have miles to go before we sleep. We have lots to do, and some things just aren’t going to get done, you know?” The Measure of a Man: A Spiritual Autobiography

Eugene Yang, after putting icing in his hair, mouthing along to Claire Saffitz speaking: [Drums and cymbals] Hi everyone. I’m Claire, we’re in the B.A. test kitchen. And today we’re going to make...Gourmet Lucky Charms. [Laughing] How do I do it? [Smashing Lucky Charms] But it feels good! It feels really good. I’m excited about this. Actually not that good. [sigh] God, it was going too well. [rolling the box] Aye...Ok. This is harder than I thought it would be. I can’t do it anymore, I quit. [opening vodka] I think tomorrow'll be...I’ll get most of it- If not all the work done. [starts to drink]
I don’t wanna get overly excited, because it’s only day two. But it’s REALLY good. I want you to know...that I can accept zero criticism right now. [brandishing knife] Would you say that I nailed it?
Keith Habersberger, mouthing along to Brad Leone: No.
Eugene as Claire: I...am going to IGNORE what Brad said. [sigh] The test. Strip did not [sigh] set. [feeling a grater] So...irritated. [posing with beer] I’m in a downward spiral.
Someone speaking off camera in the audio: So we’re gonna do this again tomorrow or...? What’s...What’s the deal?
Eugene as Claire: [pouring cereal into pot] Literally never again. [Never again?] As long as I live. [presenting] I made Lucky Charms :)! But there’s no one here to...pat me on the back...[somber piano music as Eugene lies in the road holding a box of Lucky Charms]
Thanks for the caption!!!
IM FINE! that movie did not emotionally destroy me in any way!!!
You were born with special eyes, the sea was as clear as glass to you, by the time you got old enough to join a ship’s crew, you were smart enough to not tell them about everything you saw below the waves
They all teased me for staring into the waves.
“That one is touched in the head. Spends all the time staring into the water, like it’ll tell the fortunes of one and all.”
I heard their scoffing remarks and bit my tongue, knowing they would tremble if they could see what I saw. We were sailing over a depth that let the ocean floor seem equidistant to the stars, and not far away swam a mermaid.
Not the delicate little sea blossom they dreamt of, this one had the rear half of a blue whale and the large muscular upper torso that could crush our vessel in a half assed hug. She was sleek and through her slightly translucent upper torso flesh, I could see teeth that could chomp through bone with ease.
As I watched her bite into a fish that seemed to have a small lantern suspended from its forehead, I smiled absently as my crew mates teased before moving on to the next topic, leaving me to stare more at the scenes they would never see.
ah, the beauty of nature.
[Pride (2014), dir. Matthew Warchus, wr. Stephen Beresford.]
stfu stfu literally nobody has an ugly smile or an ugly laugh its just not a thing. your smiles and laughter are the literal manifestations of your joy theyre gorgeous no matter what they look like or how they sound
someone having an unusual smile or laugh is the loveliest thing its just so them like their happiness sounds like nothing else on earth
