Never gets old seeing posts that so earnestly and genuinely explain something that is 100% obvious to anybody who doesn’t spend their life hopelessly online
“You have to bring your own moral framework to adult stories”
“There’s more to media than shipping”
“We NEED to get comfortable with disliking people without pretending they’ve done anything wrong”
“Sometimes people on the internet LIE so always check donation posts!!”
i’m both dumber and smarter than you think so don’t underestimate me because i’m actually smart about a lot of stuff but also don’t be surprised if i’m dumb about some other stuff hope that helps
Me: Did you know that medieval cathedrals weren’t actually supposed to be dark and rundown places with only stained glass as color? They were bright places full of light… the reason they look like that now is because of the centuries of accumulated grime and dust, here look at this restoration of the Cathedral of Chartres in France:
It’s based on actual paint from the times, and when you think about it, it makes a lot more sense, after all a church is supposed to be a bright place of hope. Yet when we think about the middle ages we think about grimy and dark cathedrals. I wonder how much of our conception of history is shaped by our current visions of historical buildings.
My Goth GF: listen, I don’t think this thing between us is working,
Marlene Dietrich is detained at a train station in Paris in 1933 for violating the ban on women wearing trousers.
As with all german actors in the 30’s, you always gotta check the World War II section of their Wikipedia page. Well im happy to report that Marlene Dietrich was in open opposition to the Nazi regime, and in 1937 donated her entire salary for a film (over 9 million dollars in todays money) to helping Jewish refugees :)
you DON’T need to know where your favorite celebrity/artist/athlete lives, who they’re dating, where they go grocery shopping, what they are doing at any given moment when they are off camera actually. just an fyi
I don’t want to know, either. All I want to know about them is their work and their public life: what they put out there on screen etc. / by choice / in plain view
What they do on their own time is their own business and it’s not interesting to me tbh. All my hyperfixation is reserved for roles and performances
