SHHH MUM, DAD LET ME HAVE A KNIFE!!! HE SAID IT’S OK!!!
Snape: What do you have there?
Student: A KNIFE!
Snape: Oh ok.
McGonagall: NO!
When you’re arriving home and you hear: “Do you want me to make/kiss it better?” From either of your parents and you know that all your siblings are out.. 😳
Guess I’m not going home..
I’m just curious to see how many people ship Elphaba and Fiyero.
Okay I’m gonna rant for a second about something I love and that thing I love is Mortal Engines
It absolutely flopped at the box office and I always see people complaining about how the premise (the traction cities) doesn’t make sense, etc. etc. and first off, yeah, the movie doesn’t explain it as well as the books do, that’s fair, but SERIOUSLY? People are willing to suspend belief for all the shit that Marvel and DC do (plus every other superhero movie ever) and enjoy those films, among countless others that have outlandish concepts with little to no explanation, but for some reason people just. Refuse to suspend belief for Mortal Engines long enough to appreciate it.
Because there is so fucking much to appreciate! The world-building is incredible, obviously (even more so in the books). But the themes. Mortal Engines is a fucking commentary on imperialism and colonialism and I don’t understand how people don’t see that?? They don’t see London, a city dominated by a wealthy white elite, literally devouring lower-class cities and not see that? They don’t see London attacking Shan Guo, an alliance of predominantly people of color, and see that? They don’t see Valentine blaming Shan Guo for London not having enough resources and see how it’s a deliberate depiction of racism and scapegoating by a colonial power?
All of these things are visible in the movie. It’s even more apparent in the books (go read the books), but seriously, there is enough of it in the movie to be easily recognizable and it just blows my mind that people fixate so much on how the concept is unrealistic instead of recognizing what an incredible metaphor Reeve built in his tetralogy.
Don’t get me wrong, the movie has plenty of flaws, including lots of changes from the book that I strongly disagree with! But I just wish people would move past their refusal to suspend disbelief long enough to recognize that there’s a lot of really good stuff happening in that film.
Man-well! Open! (I think, been so long since I’ve seen my fav film) Just his amazement by the opening mechanic or whatever is adorable too.
Things I realize while watching WALL-E for the thousandth time:
The reason the Captain’s never used a manual before is that everything on the ship is automated!
What if Charles had arrived whenever Spearchucker left??
Can i just become my family’s disappointment please? It seems so much easier to do that than anything the world expects from me.
Still love ya however old ya are, Dad. Just be alive when I get home that’s all I ask. 💜🖤💚
(I don’t ship Dad and his own son (Harry)
Professor Snape is 63 now.
He left Hogwarts a long time ago and started taking on apprentices. Being his apprentice is considered a great luck, and many would-be Potions masters dream of being trained by him.
He also has a laboratory, two tabby cats and Potter.
Professor hates 2023.
This is damn adorable! And I can totally see it happening!
- When WALL-E found out more than one movie existed, his mind was in a state 1000 times more overblown than the standard “Mind-blown” response.
- His iPod doesn’t work with most movies, but they can use the big computer in the building attached to EVE’s greenhouse to watch nearly any movie that’s ever been released digitally (see my fanfic “EVE’s New Directive” if you want to know more about the greenhouse. Okay shameless plug over :D)
- If WALL-E is picking a movie, he just reads the summary and goes “This one”. Conversely, EVE looks up the film to see how much box office it made or if the reviews are passable (she tries to act professional about it, but she actually relies on old social media responses)
- Of course, WALL-E adores older musicals. EVE found a pile made by anyone related remotely to Hello, Dolly-which led to the discovery of gems such as Singin’ in the Rain.
- He’s tried to reenact his favourite scenes before, and EVE LOVES that.
- EVE’s more of a Skydance movie person (Skydance is the studio behind the action scenes in recent Mission Impossible films and Top Gun: Maverick). She really gets into the action sequences and because of this, finds it a little hard to watch older action films as their pacing is rather slow.
- If watching a movie in EVE’s vein, WALL-E gets into the human subplots, no matter how badly written they are. EVE finds this adorable.
- EVE also likes watching horror movies ironically. WALL-E knows those films aren’t real, but the jumpscares can make him collapse back into cube form (even if he expected them). If this gets too bad EVE pauses and they just cuddle for a bit.
- WALL-E has no self-restraint and will watch seven seasons of a show in a day if he gets started.
- WALL-E also wants nothing but the happiest endings for the characters, and can’t help but feel a bit sad if an ending doesn’t end like that.
- Occasionally, if he’s really torn up about it, EVE would look around for a fix-it fic or a fan ending just to put it at risk. This is a task reserved for the most dire of situations, as EVE gets curious and sometimes accidentally pokes around in a fanfic that’s not exactly what she’s looking for.
- During the most romantic moments, they can be seen subconsciously holding hands again.
- Hal tends to sit in EVE’s bowl instead of WALL-E’s shoulder after one incident where WALL-E got jumpscared and accidentally squished Hal when retracting his head.
- There’s been talk of making WALL-E and EVE’s story into a movie, but everyone’s waiting for the technology to be restored and for the right person with the right vision to develop it. Both WALL-E and EVE are rather enthusiastic to play their own parts, alongside most of the other robots.
Feel free to reblog and add more!
🙄🙄🙄🙄 i know dad did some horrible things, mum has too but nothing as bad as these “marauders”.
Marauderfen: omg wtf is wrong with you asshole! Snape used a racial slur when he was 15!! Why don't you Snape apologists ever acknowledge his flaws???!
Snapedom: yes it was really horrible to do that and being sexually assaulted is no excuse for it but the Marauders did bully Snape for amusement and we just think you guys should accept your characters' flaws too.
Marauderfen: they're literally precious cinnamon rolls who have done nothing wrong in their life have you even read fanfics about them?
