Richard Armitage on Cbeebies - there is no greater thing on this world, oh god
the way it should be, famous songs from animated movies performed in the language of the place the stories are set in or the character’s mother tongue {listen}

Arthur: “Why is it called that? ‘Ottery St. Mary’?”
Martin: “I have no idea.”
Arthur: “Do you know, Douglas?”
Douglas: “Certainly I do. You see, St. Mary is the patron saint of Devon and she of course was famously martyred by being eaten alive by otters.”
Arthur: “REALLY?”
Douglas: “Oh yes, rabid otters. So she’s always portrayed in pictures absolutely covered in otters.”
Arthur: “What, eating her?”
Douglas: “Sometimes, in the more fire and brimstone churches, elsewhere the assumption is: they’re all in heaven now and have made up, so they’re just shown milling about her, nuzzling her affectionately and offering her ottery kisses. And gifts of haddock.”
Martin: /reprimanding/”Douglas.”
Arthur: “Why would the otters go to heaven if they ate a saint?”
Douglas: “You put your finger, Arthur, as is so often your way, on the crux of a thorny theological problem. So far, our best guess is simply that St. Peter’s got a real soft spot for otters. He looks into those whiskery faces and goes: ‘You guys…I can’t stay mad at you’ and let’s them into heaven.”
I would be extremely okay with it if they just went ahead and remade the Lion King as an animated movie but with humans
I dunno, inspired by the broadway or something.
….Don’t think about the logistics. Just do.
This Stardust styled shoot is nothing short of magical! The details capture the enchantment of the book perfectly but my favorite part by far is the wonderful camera trick that turned the bride into a luminous star herself!

Wowwww.
This is pretty simple but really seems to confound some folks.
If you wish to enter a subway car, an elevator, a bus, an alcove - whatever small but key space - let those who wish to leave that same space do it first.
You see, human beings have mass, and take up space in the universe. Therefore, this elevator/subway/whatever will be better able to hold you once there are less humans in it.
This step brought to you by my fellow MAX riders. It won’t leave without you! Just wait seven goddamn seconds!
im pretty sure i go through life looking like this
Being Havoc is suffering

IT’S LITERALLY BEEN LIKE A DAY AND WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TRYING TO ACHIEVE WITH THIS POST
only a true tumblrite would understand. you just outed yourself as a yahooligan
For an art installation entitled Ballroom Luminoso, artists Joe O’Connell and Blessing Hancock created and hung six awesome chandeliers from a concrete underpass in San Antonio, Texas. The chandeliers were custom-made using structural steel, recycled bicycle parts, and custom LEDs that project a field of silhouettes of sprockets, gears, and other shapes onto the blank slate of an otherwise unremarkable industrial surface.
From the artist’s statement about the project:
“Ballroom Luminoso references the area’s past, present, and future in the design of its intricately detailed medallions. The images in the medallions draw on the community’s agricultural history, strong Hispanic heritage, and burgeoning environmental movement. The medallions are a play on the iconography of La Loteria, which has become a touchstone of Hispanic culture. Utilizing traditional tropes like La Escalera (the Ladder), La Rosa (the Rose), and La Sandía (the Watermelon), the piece alludes to the neighborhood’s farming roots and horticultural achievements. Each character playfully rides a bike acting as a metaphor for the neighborhood’s environmental progress, its concurrent eco-restoration projects, and its developing cycling culture.”

I’m a nerd, but not in the useful “you’ll all be working for me one day when I invent jet packs” way. I’m a nerd in the “I have very strong opinions about history and literature and will yell them at you if you give me even the slightest opportunity” way. And that one does not pay well.
It’s so weird when people are squeamish about seeing brains because that’s their own brain making a decision that it looks disgusting. Brains don’t like how they look.
self conscious brains aww
brains that don’t like what they look like because they’re not supposed to be visible
because if they’re visible something is deeply wrong
you might say it’s braingerous
