There’s something about his jerky, animatronic movements that makes him infinitely more adorable.
In this, he is akin to that amazing baby Ewok from Return of the Jedi. I kid you not when I say that the baby Ewok burying his face in his hands is my favorite part of the movie.

You know you’ve been playing Marvel Avengers Alliance too long when you start yelling “FUCK OFF WOLVERINE!!” repeatedly at your laptop.
I may or may not have vented my frustration by giving Boy a mini rant about why, sometimes, Logan as a character completely sucks.
I have issues with the…
I 100% agree! I never understood why Wolverine was so popular, based on the early characterization of the character.
I’m coming to a soft conclusion- I’m starting to think, but am not convinced- that one of the reasons Batman is Superhero Number One is because he’s a power fantasy, but one that doesn’t demand a truly nuanced sense of morality. Want to punch people in the face but still feel like a good person? BATMAN! He’s the pinnacle of human achievement! He’s something you to aspire to! It doesn’t matter that the Most Prepared Man in the Universe can’t figure out how to rehabilitate one city- he’s the Good Guy because he only hits Bad Guys.
I wonder if Wolverine is something like that. He’s a good guy, and sure he acts like an immature jackass, but really it’s just that nobody, not even he himself, truly knows who he is inside. He’s Misunderstood, not just Acting Like a Pissy Teenager.
“you have van gogh’s ear for music” hahaha follow for more seventeenth century impressionist-painter burns
I just got a sudden wave of new followers I really hope you guys aren’t expecting more seventeenth century impressionist-painter burns
i’ll pay monet for them
Slightly upset by the fact that both Van Gogh and Monet were part of the Impressionist movement in the late 19th century.
Also fully cognizant of the fact that I frequently make the same sort of mistake.

Maybe it’s because I work in a comic book store, and I hear about how great he is all the time. Maybe it’s because, as a character, he falls apart a little upon close inspection, an inspection which you are not allowed to make because that’s mean-spirited and fun-ruining, but which is… well, legitimate. Maybe it’s because “always being prepared” feels as lazy and overpowered as “I just have all the powers, okay”.
But honestly, it’s probably because I’ve always been a bit of a hipster. I like Superman now. Superman is cool. Until the movie.
Which is bizarre, because I’ve never liked ballet or dance movies. Except Stictly Ballroom, of course. Always <3 Strictly Ballroom.
At any given moment, you do not exist. Your body exists, temporary though it may be. Still, you are not your body. You are merely an electrochemical process of your body. The continuity of your separate self is manufactured every few milliseconds by a hunk of warm grey meat between your ears. In the time it takes you to read this sentence, your brain has created you a thousand times, and it has left behind a thousand ghosts of you.
Yup!
That’s like saying a computer doesn’t exist when it’s turned off. Our selves are not the currents running through our brains, any more than water is ripples in a pond, or air is the sound it carries.

#sobbing #because though aragorn was the divinely-chosen king descendent from the line of kings #boromir was the one who had grown to manhood among his people; grown up defending and loving them #to him they were not just a faceless mass waiting to be led #or helpless children in the face of the power of the east #they were the warriors that fought beside him and the women that sold their goods in the market and his brother and his father #the houses of healing and the white tree #everything boromir was or ever hoped to be was inextricably bound to gondor; to minas tirith #and here was this elf-raised numenorean who not only was rightful heir to the throne boromir thought defunct #but did not even have the decency to respect and care for the people he would be ruling from it #of course boromir is angry #of course he tries to make aragorn see #boromir you are my favorite until the end of time #the fleeting voice of falliable humanity amid a narrative of gods and heroes#humanity that loves and humanity that falls #ack (via notbecauseofvictories)
Still pissed that the narrative acts like Aragorn would be a better leader for his people than Boromir even though he doesn’t know them and his family hasn’t ruled them for generations upon generations and HE LIVED BY HIMSELF IN THE WOODS FOR DECADES.
Only in a fairy tale is a hermit a more qualified ruler than a man who has been a leader for the majority of his life.

Watching the Maroon 5 video for Daylight and really respecting their choice to go all the way with the cover concept. Who would have thought that you could do a video that had a different sound than the radio version of the song? I wonder how much this is a reflection of the really cool covers we’ve been seeing become an artform on YouTube, etcetera, recently.
