why didn’t they just shoot count olaf

Those last 15 seconds are like something straight out of an Eric Andre skit

funniest thing would be if when Queen Elizabeth dies or steps down and Charles is all ready to assume the throne, here comes King Arthur, Excalibur in hand, sauntering back from Avalon like “oof what a nap! thanks for keeping the chair warm I’m back to be king again”

like, given that “King Arthur isn’t actually dead, he’ll be back to be King again someday” is, like, an actual aspect of the legend and a thing that a lot of people purport to believe, has anyone ever actually tried it? showing up to buckingham palace claiming to be Arthur Pendragon, The Once And Future King, and assume the throne? does the british government have a protocol for checking whether someone claiming to be King Arthur actually is? does parliament have a secret picture of the Real Excalibur kept under lock and key, only viewed if someone claims to be King Arthur, that they can use to confirm or refute the identity of alleged Kings Arthur? if not, how do they deter every jackass with a sward from pretending to be him? does filing a false King Arthur report constitute treason?

The rules are simple. “Arthur” has to show up with a sword. They give the sword to the Lady of the Lake, and if she throws it back to the claimant, he’s legit and gets to be king again.

So the test for King Arthur’s identity falls to the even less officially identifiable Lady of the Lake.  No one can even agree on which Lady, or which lake, is the official one, much less how to tell if you’ve got The Lady of The Lake.  All of which suggests that all you need to accomplish this is one (1) sword, a willing female acquaintance, and a nearby body of water. 

There isn’t even any requirement for “Arthur” to catch the sword, so the Lady can just javelin an epee right at him.

Well when you look at it that way, one might conclude that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

Found footage horror movie but instead of the monster attacking the crew it just steals the camera and the rest of the film is the crew chasing the monster to get the camera back

op your mind

totally normal and not deranged thing to say

For those who didnt realize it wasn't just a blanket statement, but actually made sense

I just need everyone to know that when I type 'i am looking' or just '👀' i am actually thinking about this

Let! That! Baby! Eat!!!!!!

absolutely LOST in the sauce

Shinjuku Boys (1995). Tatsu, a transgender man, jokes with his barber about his changing appearance, and his newly masculine features.

I love seeing this, because I've looked for many things about trans guys in Japan (in trying to understand how Japan views transgender people on the whole) and other than a few recent things, everything was exclusively about trans women.

@colorsofsocialjustice Hey, I highly recommend checking out this series too:

It's absolutely massive, utterly beautiful, and deserves more attention.

Images that make you enter a fugue state

My favorite tiktok account right now is the guy who uses color settings and photo manipulation to turn everything into the Polish flag

I never used to understand what “making connections” looked like but it turns out it’s standing at a party and saying “I’ve been thinking about getting into the film industry” and someone saying “Oh, Sarah works in the film industry” and Sarah yelling from accross the room “Did someone say my name?!?!?!”

You casually mention that you’ve been thinking about such and such and your professor overhears and is like “oh I know someone who works there. Do you want me to email them for you?” And you go “Sure.”

It’s the six layers of separation thing. Everyone is only so many layers away from everyone else. So if you stand in the correct rooms and say the correct things out loud once in a while eventually someone will say “Oh, I know a guy.”

And then eventually you turn into the guy that someone knows. I think. It’s hard to tell.

that literally just sounds like witchcraft

I mean what is witchcraft but just saying things out loud and hoping something happens

From the article above:

Set A Small & Easy Goal Every Month.

Another reason most learners fail — they aim for goals like “I want to be fluent.” Oh yeah? How soon? How will you get there? When they realize they set a goal that they don’t know if they’ll ever reach – because it’s so big and vague – they quit.

Set a goal for yourself that is:

📌 Small & Easy – why? So you can easily achieve it.

Example: Learn 100 Japanese words in 1 month.

📌 Measurable – why? You’ll know how much you have left to go.

Example: 100 words is measurable.

📌 Has a Deadline – why? You’ll know when to reach it by. Otherwise, you’ll be forever wading through the same learning materials and never making progress.

Example: If you set a goal for 1 month, make the deadline the end of the month (e.g. December 31st).

📌 Doing this will guarantee that:

My Thoughts

Same here! I’m not a beginner, but progressing in Japanese is the same no matter what level you are. And I find goals difficult to set and stick to (my brain seems to automatically reject them). But doing something fun (like a diary) consistently is a great way to make progress. I also lack the time to make a major commitment like “pass the JLPT” so just doing something that fits my lifestyle is the best way for me to fit in study time. I also have to be interested, and if it feels like a chore (e.g. memorize 100 words in 1 month) I will definitely NOT do it lol. 頑張りましょうね！
