It's amazing to think that there was a time before social media when, if you were a gobshite, everybody ignored you. There was no way to make money saying stupid, provocative things because nobody wanted anything to do with you.

Theory: you can put Brendan Fraser in any Tom Cruise role and it would improve the film; you cannot put Tom Cruise in any Brendan Fraser role without it making the film worse

Another mention that everything on my Etsy is currently 30% off! This is because I'm moving - and don't know if I'll be open for Christmas stuff in time.

So if you're after things from me, now is your best chance! Link in bio!

Because I came from an Evangelical home, my humanism and secular moral system are very important to me as I had to build my own. I will never be for the targeting of civilians anywhere. Basic human rights apply to literally every fucking human being.
Apply that wherever it applies.
War crimes bad.

As the kids say these days:

a knight with a helmet and a sword says " this is the way "

Alt: The armourer / blacksmith from the show 'The Mandalorian'. She is speaking their motto "this is the way".

As someone who grew up on Sega consoles I miss the crazy stuff like the 2 player co-op version of Syndicate and the wacky inventiveness of games like Alien Soldier. Newgrounds flash games did scratch that itch for a bit, but these days 😕 I mean there's only so much Mario Kart anyone can take, right?

Every photo I take is done practically with very little digital work, using household items to create special effects like cotton wool for fire & foil for water. Each set is meticulously set up for just the one scene then dismantled so I can set up another scene.

Thanks for helping me keep going.

I mean do things even *exist* if there isn't a funko pop of them? Turning all creative endeavour into mass produced soulless tat until plastic chokes the entire planet is surely the way we all want to go right?

Go moustache or go home 🤣

Seriously though I think you're spot on but maybe some of the seed stuff is a bit samey. I'd definitely put another vote in for Aerial as it has a very feminine vibe which really stands out from the rest.

Bridge to Terabithia gave me flashbacks to My Girl, definitely struck that same note as far a trauma goes - showing my age a bit there though 😁
I agree though, too many movies use doggos for a cheap pull on our heart-strings. Maybe they should give some other pets a chance for a change?

May the right fire burn within me.

There is hatred all around me.
But i wont let it win.
I can fight for what I love,
more than against what I hate.
