yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

#psa #alt text #and how to write it #this seems like a nice simple rundown #queue will be dead by nightfall

my dentist thinks my chronic dry mouth might be due to sleeping w my mouth open and recommended an anti-snoring device and im like ok im game to try that but i do need to tell you that i already wear dry-eye goggles at night. this has no bearing on whether or not i can also use the anti-snoring device i just need you to know how ridiculous im gonna look

#laugh rule #also I might have to try that snoring device #queue will be dead by nightfall

I got the wonderful opportunity to see Labyrinth on the big screen last week (thank you Fathom Events) and I think this time around really helped me nail down one of the things that makes this movie so special to me: the ending message.

A story with a somewhat childish sixteen-year-old girl who immerses herself in magic and fantasy worlds who goes through a journey and a transformation and comes out the other side more mature could very easily have ended with the message of "Now that the adventure in the fantasy world is over, our heroine has grown and matured enough to leave magic and fantasy behind and become an Adult."

But Labyrinth doesn't do that.

Labyrinth says: "You might grow up a little. You might put away your costumes and your music box and your crown. You might give your teddy bear to your little brother. But that doesn't mean you have to leave it all behind. Every so often in your life, for no reason at all, you might need a little magic back in your life. And your friends in the fantasy world will always be there for you."

"Should you need them."

#YES #''well done for growing up...now the secret is you don't have to always act grown-up'' #tbh some of this website could stand to learn that lesson #adults don't have to give up the things they loved when they hit some arbitrary Too Responsible To Like This age #labyrinth

aragorn's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week:

the fellowship breaks on his watch

forced to choose who to follow

runs over 200 kilometers in under four days

thinks merry and pippin are dead

meets the reborn gandalf (a rare win), immediately has to do a 180 and ride to edoras

immediately after that needs to ride to battle

takes part in a battle which takes place over the whole night

gets maybe 20 hours of sleep over the course of the whole week

and, I cannot stress this enough, this is all still very far from over

#yeah that’s like…the middle book? #he still has a whole other book to go #I’m not sure he even stops until Frodo is back and safe #and cured #after which I can only assume he keeled the fuck over and they gave him his own room in the Houses of Healing #lotr #more and more convinced I need to reread #not cos I don’t remember them #but because I love them #or it

#going back to a version that doesn’t have weak-ass comments about the score #y’all don’t even see the beauty that is before you #the score is what elevates it from beautiful fantasy mess to unique brain-altering experience #the score is LUDICROUS and it is ART #don’t you touch a hair on her perfect head #ladyhawke #I have watched this five billion times #it was my go-to when I couldn’t sleep #poll

Don't get me wrong, I love the dreamy fairytale-ness of the Ghibli movie version of Howl's Moving Castle, but the book. The book. Sophie, first off, being so incredibly set on being the boring un-gifted un-adventuresome eldest daughter (as is right and fitting for an eldest daughter to be) that she doesn't notice she's working magic, like, constantly? And when a witch shows up like "hey girlie you are fully working SO much magic that I'm feeling threatened, so like I'm gonna put you in the old lady dimension ciao," she's like well. That was weird. Anyway I guess I better go find something to do as an old lady. And she reasons that this famously evil sorcerer who eats young girls' hearts is probably safe for her now cause like. She's old. What's he gonna do to me. And proceeds to bully her way into becoming his cleaning lady. And Howl, known flaky whimsical fuckboy extraordinaire, is like sure okay I guess that works for me. And just as well because it turns out he's also a fucking bottom who kinda digs this strong stubborn lady who's steamrolled her way into his life, kinda weird that she's disguised as an old woman but w/e he's not gonna question her life choices and like it's not actually a problem for him, and by the time Sophie's figured out that oh crap oh shit she's actually kinda into this flighty asshole, what am I gonna do, he'd never return my feelings in a hundred years, Howl's basically accepted that they're mostly married. And also how can you top "my extremely powerful and slightly fey wizard is just a Welsh grad student who wandered into a portal one day" for a character concept. You can't. It's the perfect book really

#minor correction: he didn't merely wander into a portal #Howl is basically: #a Welsh grad student *whose doctoral thesis was on charms and spells* #during the course of his studies #he accidentally discovered that magic was real #realised that he could be a wizard in another world #decided this was a billion times better than living in our world #full of rain and debt and a nagging sister who thinks he's a lazy over-educated good-for-nothing #and set up shop (literally) in fantasyland #best backstory ever y/y? #hmc #howl's moving castle

I know that with some of us answering yes it will depend on the activity and place and time and other factors too but my question is mainly about if you feel drained regardless if you enjoy spending time with your friends.
