hang on. last night’s megamind rewatch has me thinking. all this time, i thought megamind’s mispronunciation of random words was just that weird type of dreamworks humor where it’s funny because it’s wrong and, you know, “so random lolol”
but when he mispronounced “melancholy,” i started thinking about how i mispronounced the word “leviathan” until junior year of high school because i’d only ever seen it written down, i’d never heard anyone say it out loud before. and i started thinking that maybe the mispronunciation thing is supposed to suggest that he’s been so lonely and unsocialized his entire life that he’s learned the english language out of books, i.e. by sight rather than by interacting with other people?! was this the point all along?! has this been obvious to everyone else who watched the movie?! my god i’ve been so blind
I know none of y'all even want this advertisement, but I do run a discord server called tuberoses and tea. It's a chill place, and it needs to grow! It's new, and if you're interested its Lgbtq friendly, and you can talk about whatever there, were open to all fandoms. You can join here, but keep in mind it’s still in its beta stage! https://discord.gg/nZSq95

Gravity Falls + Vladimir Propp’s Morphology of the Folktale
I’m taking a class about fantasy literature, and Propp’s theories came up in our discussion. Propp came up with a list of 31 plot elements contained within Russian fairy tales. I got excited when I noticed many of the elements can be found in Gravity Falls, so I made a bunch of screenshot redraws to share with you. (And practice coloring. And give you more Stan twins feels.)
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
