I just watched Into the Spider-Verse again, and I can’t believe I forgot how incredibly extra Doc Ock is in her first fight scene. An incomplete list:

Pausing to monologue whenever she gets a good hit in

Posing like a lunging predator when she hurls herself at Miles in spite of the fact that none of her flesh-and-blood limbs are in any way involved

Rampaging through the forest knocking over trees that are nowhere near her flight path, apparently just on general principle

When Miles takes shelter behind a large tree, rather than flipping around it or swatting it aside – both of which she’s demonstrably capable of doing – she takes the time to carefully bisect it lengthwise and dramatically gesture with the resulting halves

It stands out all the more when literally every other villain in the film is a manfully scowling hardass, and then there’s Olivia just pinballing around the scenery with that shrieking manic energy – like, did she not get the memo that this is a Serious Villainous Organisation For Serious People?

I love it.

What if Scotty is not actually Scottish, though? 

Like, what if his name just happens to be Montgomery Scott, so all of his friends started calling him “Scotty,” and then every time he was introduced to a new person, they would be like “Oh, are you Scottish? My uncle was Scottish!”

And finally, he just gets sick of explaining the situation, so he starts replying with “aye, laddie!” But then it turns out that the person he said that to was Captain Kirk, and he doesn’t want to admit that he lied to his new commanding officer, so he has to keep speaking in a ridiculously over-the-top brogue and commenting constantly on how much he loves drinking Scotch, and by the time that he realises that Kirk would have found humour in the situation, he’s in too deep and can’t stop pretending, and it gradually just becomes his normal speech pattern.

Then, years later, the Enterprise is being inspected by a Starfleet engineer who’s actually Scottish, and Scotty takes him on a walking tour of his warp engines and is all like “Auch! Here be me wee bairns!” and the other engineer is just like “what the fuck is wrong with you?”

I take the fact that James Doohan is Canadian as evidence of this theory.

Scotty hacking into his Starfleet personnel file to alter his place of birth.

Scotty soundproofing his quarters on the Enterprise so that no one can hear him teach himself to play the bagpipes from instructional videos.

Scotty making a great show of taking a shuttle down to Aberdeen to “visit his family” every time the Enterprise is in Earth orbit and then, once on the ground, discreetly site-to-site transporting himself to Vancouver or whatever.

None of these things are out of character or beyond his technical ability.

Yeah, but also in character: Jim Kirk has known since Day 1 that Scotty is not, in fact, Scottish, but is just sitting there waiting to see how far Scotty is willing to go to keep the story going. It started out as an “enough rope” situation but now it’s one of Jim’s greatest ongoing sources of entertainment and he wouldn’t admit at gunpoint that he knows. 

Honestly, Kirk would actively claim to have met Scotty’s Extremely Scottish Family/visited them in Aberdeen just to keep it going.

Frankly, as someone who’s paternal side is all Scottish, I simply can’t see any Scottish person not seeing this situation and running with it.

Next thing Scotty knows, half of Scottish Starfleet is claiming to be his brother’s sister-in-law’s half cousin twice removed and the Loch Ness Monster has been painted on the door to his quarters.

Kirk is busy dying of laughter.

cop: can you describe the woman who stabbed you

male author: lithe, spirited, outgoing, and not afraid to speak her mind. she was a raw sexual force and she knew it. she was dandelion fluff on a summer day, gone in an instant, leaving you with nothing but the memory of her touch and the faint taste of strawberries on your lips

cop: great we have a motive, but we still need a description

Since y'all posted the goddamn date in the smallest print imaginable, that headline is from 2015 and the trans flag in her office is from 2019. She has apologized for her earlier statements and has said she is trying to learn about and better understand the trans community. There are no pure candidates and y'all should have been trying to get that through your thick skulls as soon as Trump was elected instead of trying to drag all the candidates through the mud for things they’re leaving behind now.

I’ll probably add this image to any post I see trying to “cancel” a left-leaning candidate for not being a fucking saint. If literal perfection is the only alternative to Cheeto Hitler ya’ll will accept then we are all FUCKED!!

How to: break my heart. A tutorial by Mad Max: Fury Road

Let’s talk about this scene a little, because I noticed a particular detail in my last viewing that’s had me buzzing and buzzing crying a lot.

Let’s start with the obvious: the whole film Nux has wanted to establish his life has some meaning by dying “historic on the Fury Road.” Of course, all his previous efforts were attempts to continue things the way they were–in Immortal Joe’s terms. Thus, those deaths would not have really been historic. They would have been forgotten, just another blip in the status quo. In crashing the rig and allowing the wives to return to the Citadel, Nux does in fact fulfill his wish to die historic–without his actions, the wives likely would not have been able to return to the city and enact the changes they inevitably do. His death matters in a way none of the other deaths in the film do–it matters to changing the future, and thus becomes an important part of the future Citadel’s history.

Nux only knows how to do that in his own terms, though–the terms of the War Boys. Thus, his death only gains significance if it is witnessed. For Nux, the action itself is not as important as it being seen and acknowledged. This makes a lot of sense in terms of Immortal Joe’s world and its patriarchal structure. Individuals are not important, actions don’t matter unless they are showy and seen–all life boils down not to meaningful actions but to showing off.

But here’s why this film is a feminist masterpiece, and why this scene in particular cements that: Capable’s reaction.

Capable does witness him. She locks eyes and acknowledges the significance of his action, of his inevitable death. But she doesn’t respond like one of the War Boys–when the War Boys die asking to be witnessed, the others respond yelling “Witnessed!” This answer does say, “I have seen your action, it matters,” but hollered with usual the War Boy bravado, it also acts as an attempt for the witnessing War Boys to build up their own importance by making themselves part of the action.

Capable does not yell “Witnessed.” She responds with a gesture–holding her hand out and pulling it toward her heart. This is the Vuvalini’s gesture of mourning–a beautiful gesture that essentially mimics pulling the lost soul into one’s own heart. Capable has only just learned this gesture, but she seems to innately understand its significance. Thus, while she witnesses Nux’s death, she refuses to “witness” him in the sense of the War Boys and instead mourns him in the manner of the Vuvalini. Nux likely sees this–the editing implies he doesn’t turn the rig until after he’s seen the gesture. Thus, he knows he is witnessed, but more importantly, he knows that he will be mourned and remembered. With that knowledge, he finally has the strength and the worthy reason to sacrifice his life for a cause that matters.

This moment is also the moment Immortal Joe’s power is officially broken. Yes, Joe is dead, but Rictus and a whole gang of War Boys and their ilk are photon their wheels, ready to re-establish the status quo. In many ways it is a transfer of power–the last call to witness leads to the first time the Wives truly embrace the culture and ideology of the Vuvalini as their guiding principle. Joe’s power is broken not so much by the explosion–though that is certainly the blunt force that finishes the deal. Joe’s power is broken by self sacrifice–a self-sacrifice born not of bravado or the hope of becoming a legend, but one born of community, of love, of hope. Capable’s response guarantees that Nux’s sacrifice will be honored and remembered, but in a new way in their new world.

blue–green

I’m having emotions over the simple, quiet way he reaches out a hand towards her, and say “Witness me”. Every other time that line has been said, it’s been all cock-swinging showman testosterone. It has been screamed and bellowed and roared in pain and fury and violence.

And here, this lost War Boy looks into the eyes of the first person who spoke to him with kindness and compassion, and she is the only person he cares about in this moment: she is the only person he wants to witness him, because she is the most important person to him.

And her response could not be more perfect.

Goddamnit I’m crying again

Oh noooo :( Is a gofundme type thing out of the question?

I’d feel way too guilty to do that :/ So many people are struggling… What gives me the right to take from them?

(2/4)  “The application process was a nightmare.  It’s like a messy divorce where they examine every little detail of your life.  People try to scare the crap out of you about how emotionally damaged the kid will be.  The agency made us sign a contract acknowledging fourteen ways the adoption could fall through, and there weren’t any refunds.  They warned it could take two years.  And it’s so expensive, $32,000.  But at that point Miles’ picture was hanging all over our house.  We talked about him all the time.  He was already our son, but he was sitting in an orphanage.  We needed to get him home as quickly as possible.  I took out a loan against my retirement.  I racked up so much credit card debt.  I planned on using the reward points to buy his plane ticket home.  Miles spent his second birthday at the orphanage.  We filled a box with $300 worth of presents.  It cost even more to ship.  Inside we put his very first pair of walking shoes.  Hip-hugger pants to help with his posture.  A t-shirt that said: ‘Someone in Fairfax, VA loves me.’  And Mickey Mouse party favors for all the kids at the orphanage.  Then we ordered him a cake from a local bakery.  A few weeks later, the orphanage sent us a picture from the party.”

He committed to how pissed off he was

I love how petty this is

I hope he brought the video to traffic court to contest the ticket lol

I love the poetry that this gifset ends with him running into a police car.

This is a tactic called Uncivil Obedience: where you follow the law so stringently that it exposes the injustice the law causes.

Uncivil obedience is my favorite kind. It’s how I finally got out of having to take piano lessons when I was 15.

you drove a bike into a police car to get out of piano lessons??
