…for the contingent out there who sneer at heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman and Captain America, those icons who still, at their core, represent selfless sacrifice for the greater good, and who justify their contempt by saying, oh, it’s so unrealistic, no one would ever be so noble… grow up. Seriously. Cynicism is not maturity, do not mistake the one for the other. If you truly cannot accept a story where someone does the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, that says far more about who you are than these characters.

Out and about in my pretty wig 🙂
Robin Thicke – “Defined Lines”
A few students from my university created a Feminist critique of Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines through a pretty damn hilarious parody of the video. Hope you all enjoy 🙂
This is everything.

i keep wondering if there were any jaeger pilots who, after a successful kaiju killing, just couldn’t wait a second to have a little victory dance. and thousands of confused citizens look out to sea and see a jaeger pelvic thrusting into the sunset.
#of course they did #of COURSE they did how is this a question #i’m sure they high fived other jaegers and did chest bumps too
after the apocalypse that wasn’t, mako starts dyeing her hair in different colors, and raleigh’s wardrobe tends to match. it’s not exactly conscious or deliberate… until it really really is.
inspired by this post.
ok though but a third viewing of pacific rim bestowed upon me this flailing shriek of a realization:
- as soon as raleigh meets mako he ditches the oatmeal knitwear for a navy blue piece and that’s literally the only other sweater we see him wearing for the rest of the movie
- he FUCKING WEARS HER COLOR FOR HER
Mako in turn wears that taupe cardigan when she’s in her room after they spar (“You felt it, we’re drift compatible”), the warmest color we ever see her in. It’s right after she tells Raleigh that she won’t be fighting the Marshall’s decision out of respect, but it’s clear that she expects (maybe even hopes) Raleigh will stop by to see her one last time before heading into the pilot test. But after their first drift goes horribly awry, Mako goes back to wearing the cold grays and blues of her memory.
I cannot believe Curvy Kate’s audacity to outright steal the work of a high school student for some insipid marketing message.
Shame on you, Curvy Kate. Shame on you.

SIGNAL BOOST RIP THEM A NEW ONE TUMBLR!
IT’S NOT EVEN A THING YOU SHOULD MARKET
NOT ONLY DID YOU STEAL THE GIRL’S WORK
YOU FUCKING HAD NO IDEA WHAT SHE WAS TRYING TO SAY
FUCK
FUCK YOU
goddamn
It’s been one hell of a day.
Thank god it’s a long weekend.
So, ahhyoulikeditsoyouputaringonit had tagged my previous Bob’s Burgers/Pacific Rim post as “stacker as bob” and I just went, “Heheheheh, yeah, Stacker as Bob, hehe, they even have the exact same mustache!” Then I stiffened like a pointer dog. THE EXACT SAME MUSTACHE.
And then I made this. And you know how before, I said I was a little bit sorry? I’m totally not even sorry anymore. I’m far too amused by Stacker having to actually articulate, “NO” “No, don’t do that” instead of Hermann not doing that going without saying.
Merry and Pippin are definitely Drift Compatible.
Their Jaeger is named Second Breakfast.
I thought their jaeger was named Treebeard
YES GOOD CORRECT <3
