its payment for every weeb who goes to japan and thinks anime is real

Actual encounters I had while in Japan:

- the exact one in the video multiple times

-a little old lady who literally followed me for two blocks excitedly babbling about how she had never seen anyone with such big boobs in her entire life and did not think anything over a d cup was actually a thing that existed and did all Americans have big boobs? And if so how did we find bras that fit? I was of course uncomfortable talking about my boobs with an absolute stranger so I did my best to pretend I didn’t understand Japanese very well. This only encouraged her to start MIMING her words while she spoke.

- a cultist who explained to me in broken English that George Washington had secretly been a member of her cult and that’s why I should totally join it (the cult in question was founded less than forty years ago and believes this one lady in Korea is the second coming of Jesus)

-a man who absolutely lost it and went positively giddy with excitement when he found out I was from Texas, proceeded to ask me many questions about Texas in surprisingly good English

-a fellow student who, upon hearing me mention that I had tried natto and enjoyed it, immediately assumed I didn’t have a very good grasp of Japanese and patiently explained to me that “suki” was not in fact the word for “hate”

-a lady who got excited and started talking to me way above my comprehension level in Japanese when she saw I had been reading the information plaques in a local museum with few problems. I managed to communicate to her that I was an exchange student but honestly I did not catch most of that conversation

-a terrifying phone call where I had to convey to a guy who spoke no English that I had seen his missing cat

this tiktok creator has a lot of great and funny stories abt his time in japan but my absolute favorite hsi him detailing a time he was standing outside at night eating spagetti and a very drunk japanese man saw him, stopped in place, held his eyelids fully open and said something to the degree of "me american, me like spaghetti" and then walked off

Hi again tumblr 

Do you ever go “ wow ok” and shut down entirely

PRIDE & PREJUDICE 2005 | Dir. Joe Wright

I’m super confident. But I’m also, like, an idiot. Which is just… I mean, it’s a brutal combination. But, I mean, the good news is, I get a big enough thump on my head, I can change, you know? I can learn. I can crawl forward.

hades isn’t a badass. hades named his three-headed-guard-of-the-underworld-dog spot. hades whispers to his flowers to make them grow. hades grows fruit. there’s no sun in the underworld.

hades isn’t a badass. stop saying this false thing

#hades probably double knots his laces

In myth, Hades’ most remarked upon traits are 1) how responsible/reliable he is, 2)how sober-minded he is, 3)how dedicated, implacable, and long-remembering he is, and 4)how boring and grim most of the other Olympians think he is to be around. Oh and notably, that if you play him a song he likes, he’ll basically give you anything you ask for(though not without conditions).

Hades is, canonically, a gigantic nerd. If they’d had trainsets, he’d have been the Olympian who collected trainsets, meticulously corrected with exacto knife and hobby-paints the errors toy-makers introduced to those trainsets, and then endlessly talked about those trainsets to anyone sat next to him at Thanksgiving Dinner :| When he wasn’t trying to rope them into an interminable discussion about gardening or divine law, that is :| :| He’s the sort of god who frequently handed out punishment like giving someone a million-piece puzzle where every piece is shaped the same, that resets itself at the start of every day if you don’t complete it, and then he keeps the last piece on his person at all times as a secret private joke for eternity because he finds you personally distasteful(not even because he’s mad at you or hates you particularly; he just doesn’t like you as a person) :| :| :| He is. A Gigantic. Nerd.

He’s also like one of the only gods who is faithful to his wife. And he listens to her like when she asks for a soul to be released and he’s like “But honey, the rules.” And she just gives him that look and he goes “Yes dear,” and lets the soul go with the easiest freaking instructions ever in a myth. And the human still fucks it up. Not his fault Persephone, not Hades’ fault this time. Essentially, Hades is sorta like the accountant suburban dad who collects really specific figurines and gets really grumpy when people mess up his lawn. Do you know how hard his wife worked on those roses? He is calling his attorney. Oh wait, he is also an attorney.

Everybody knows it’s Persephone that you’ve got to watch out for. 

I love this post every time I see it.

This is literally my fourth or fifth time reblogging this.

It’s still hillarious.

One of my favorite lines

I kinda feel like the writers wrote this line specifically to drive the kind of fans who want to figure out how sci-fi tech would theoretically work crazy. They’re like “nope! We’re not going to give you any techno babble to tear apart or investigate or mull over to tell us how we’re doing it wrong, or how it compares in effectiveness to similar tech in other franchises.”

I also feel like this is one of those times when the TARDIS’s translation circuit just gave the fuck up. Like the ‘physics physics physics’ scene, where he is imparting secrets of the universe and the TARDIS is like THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR THIS IN ENGLISH DAMN IT DOCTOR OH HELL FUCK IT.

OH MY GODS she TOTALLY edits his speech. I be he actually swears a fuckton but the TARDIS is like THERE ARE CHILDREN

I’M LAUGHING FOR LIKE 5 DAYS OMFG STOP

FLORENCE PUGH and her grandmother attend the “Don’t Worry Darling” Red Carpet at the 79th Venice International Film Festival on September 5, 2022

do you see it

Drunk thoughts: the biggest disappointment in cinema history is the fact that Universal made a Mummy 2 instead of doing another monster with the same gang.

Could you imagine if they did Dracula? You could slot those characters so easily into the classic Dracula story. Eve and Rick are planning the wedding but they haven’t heard from Jonathan ever since his new solicitor job sent him to some place called Transylvania months ago.

You could have had Ardeth back because he was invited to the wedding. And surprise Beni survived Egypt and is the Renfield stand in.

Bride of Frankenstein 1935

Andrew: One thing I absolutely love about this movie is that everything is only obvious in retrospect and everything that is foreshadowing doesn’t feel like foreshadowing. Like Grant telling that kid how raptors attack in a pincer movement seems like a scene about Grant hating kids but really it’s foreshadowing how the raptors will attack Muldoon later and set dressings like the T-Rex paddock having the no feeding or yelling signs come into play later.

Diana: Also the seatbelt thing.

Andrew: What was the seat belt thing?

Diana: When they’re in the helicopter and Grant can’t get his seatbelt done it’s because he has two female ends of a seatbelt, like how there are only female dinosaurs in the park, but he ties the ends together and he makes it a functioning seatbelt, because life finds a way.

Craig: This is the sound of my head exploding.

Diana: That’s why that scene is there.

Craig: Oh my god that is so brilliant, because it seems like just another scene to establish that Grant is bad at technology but yes, when you look at it it’s totally foreshadowing that life finds a way.
