John Lennon escorts a sick Paul McCartney after postponing their show in Portsmouth, 12th November 1963 - part 3 (part 1, part 2)

#the pic that launched a thousand fics #look at john’s widdle face #poor worried baby #I bet paul just hated being looked after like that (not) #our little damsel in distress #you just know the show wouldn’t have been cancelled if brian wasn’t in america #not sure why it’s headline news though #weren’t the beatles showing off all the time? #ba dum tss #john lennon #paul mccartney #john and paul #the beatles #november 1963 was just the best month #november 1963 #it was sixty years ago today

I noticed

that I haven’t really posted MoDos in a while. They are as voracious as always and take so many photos that I overlook them at times, but it’s show-off season, and this one did not disappoint. 😆 Have a great Wednesday!

My fav thing about TAZ is that any aspect out of context sounds fucking bonkers.

Like, in the balance finale there's a scene in which Garfield (who is very specifically never described visually bc most people imagine him as like. The Lasagna Cat. Who in this universe is the most powerful warlock in the realm and also has a hobby of cloning people, which is great for the one character that got forced into haunting a mannequin) is summoned by an alien spaceship that runs on the power of friendship so he could beat up some flashing balls. In D&D.

And that was just. Such a normal scene in the narrative. No one blinked an eye. I would like to bow down to Griffins clear unmatched talent for making me feel such big emotions over ridiculous shit like a goddamned umbrella or a regular ass pair of jeans or the idea of a taco recipe.

#taz balance #the adventure zone #taz #i have. so many drafts of this post decontexualizing so many different scenes. #merle killing a room of autism creature looking things by asking them to tell the truth which then summons god #also merle retiring from his retirement to run fantasy margaritaville under the title Earl Merle #magnus the mannequin telling taako and merle to find the baby voidfish bc the big voidfish sung at him real hard bc in the century he #just now remembered (bc hes a mannequin not a human boy) #he gifted an alien jellyfish with dozens of shitty wooden ducks. he forgot that century bc his friend fed the jellyfishs baby a book #the gnome version of Teddy Rucksbin turns out to be the universes most competent spaceship pilot. hes also a talented opera singer #a man named Barry Bluejeans is dead and uses his ghost haunting powers to gift the three heroes badges that they cant see #right before theyre shuttled off in a cannonball to save a space lab full of kitschy elevators thats snowing pink tourmaline #barry also uses his ghost powers to hold hands with magnus and make random shapes in midair like a dresser when theyre trapped in a #fantasy version of The Dating Game hosted by ghost Jesse and James Rocket who steal bodyparts if you lose their game. #or like in campaign how a dude who wiped out in the first three seconds of ninja warrior convinces a human wifi router #who owns a bible theme park to take the apparent King of America to the white house on their hovercraft to be trued for treason #after he announced his intent to take over the country in a televised debate with an inuit goddess who is sometimes trapped in the body #of an HR worker all Donald Blake/Thor style #anyways. this show is ridiculous and i love it So Much

So I’m not in the Hetalia fandom

But my best friend @roszabell is.

So that means that I get to use my extremely limited knowledge of the show to make the dumbest headcanons I can think of.

These are the headcanons of someone not in the fandom but cursed with too much knowledge.

Enjoy

- By accident, Alfred once unironically said “innit” in a sentence and his body induced a two day coma on itself in shame.

- Austria probably can and has twerked to eine kleine nachtmusik.

- Whenever Australia does any normal thing he’ll say “I learned that in 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫” and he never specified what war. Just, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫. (It was the Emu war of 1932).

- France acts like he’s super pretentious with perfumes and smells and stuff but goes feral for Bath and Bodywork’s sales. He has so many coupons 47 years past their expiration date that he insists will be useful.

- Denmark’s hairstyle is done every morning by sticking his head out of a moving car on the interstate like a dog.

- Matt has a maple flavored vape and he hissed at Alfred when he touched it once.

- Alfred knows the metric system but constantly acts like he doesn’t get it to watch England lose his shit every time.

- Gil has heelies he installed in his shoes that he’s been waiting to use for decades. One time he was trying to sweep Matt off his feet all romantic like but he accidentally popped out the wheels and they both went flying.

- Norway blasts the Frozen soundtrack in his car so loudly the windowpanes shake. He just sits there with a totally apathetic face and just says “good shit” while all his passengers’ ears are bleeding from the volume.

- Hungary can bench press both Alfred and Matt and does it at any possible opportunity.

- Japan has been making little paper airplanes and getting them to stick in the ceiling for years now and no one has noticed. It’s not until he misses one day and thousands of mini paper airplanes fall from the ceiling onto everyone.

- Germany would take Disney fast passes so seriously. That man would be up at 4 in the morning staring at his undimmed phone screen getting space mountain tickets.

- The countries always do Rock Paper Scissors for whoever has to explain to China that he needs to turn his computer off and on again to get it to work.

- Denmark has not tied his shoelaces since the day he got them. He just slides them off and on again because “I’m too awesome to tie my shoes” the truth is he doesn’t know how to tie his shoes. They came pre tied.

sometimes interpreting media through a shipping lens enhances it, on occasion even beyond the author’s original intent, but sometimes, you do have to accept that your ship was not in the heads of anyone making the source material and trying to force it to fit into evidence of your ship will severely hinder your ability to discuss the actual text.

#and also ill hit you on the head with a brick #posts that. im not going to say theyre about destiel. im not going to say that. #and im not gojng to say it because. i dont need to. you already know <3 #and to be clear: its not the interpretation thats a problem here. thats the fun of shipping. its then taking what youve interpreted and then #trying to backread that onto the media itself as intentional. as intended. #dismissing the actual themes and story for evidence of a ship is the problem. u get me? #shipping brainrot is not ‘oh i think these characters would kiss for this reason’. #its ‘this show is and has always been about these characters kissing no matter how much i have to ignore about the show to make that true or #pretend is completely different than its actually presented or straight up make things up to make my ship be a part of the intended reading’ #thats the brainrot. the brainrot is when u step off the train of reality. #this is not true about the best piece of art ever made Captain America and the Winter Soldier. btw. that movie IS about bucky and steve #kissing alsjfdjskdjg #(<- okay im being silly here but id like to make a real point here too. the thing about TWS is that. it is genuinely enhanced by a romantic #reading. its not *better* than a platonic one. its just different. being able to see it through that lens does make a lot of the original #movie’s ideas even more complex. case in point like: steve struggling with his dating life. because what shared life experience does he have #with other people who look his age. and the movie is. about. someone who has his shared life experiences. and his mission to get bucky back. #you can see how that lens would be beneficial to the original movie rather than fighting it to prove the ship works in opposition to the #author’s original intent.)

You think Halsin ever just ripped the logs apart with his bare hands when it was his turn to gather firewood for camp, or what

#BG3 Musing #Halsin Posting #Halsin #i can very clearly see him doing the captain america #once or twice to maybe show off #but he generally did the chop it most of the way split the rest of it #and the entire camp is just like :O #i imagine thats how halsin did most of his turn of camp chores - combine that wood elf with his strength #and you just have him dragging logs he found in the woods (already fallen! he doesn't cut down trees) #(only takes what he is given and all that) #with no effort #but also he mostly just pulls stick and brush bundles because again we're only taking what we need ok #he also strikes me as the type who would never complain when asked to do something #like oh absolutely whatever you need i'll get right on that

how many times do i have to say for now let's eavesdrop on the houseguests live from outside the big brother house i'm julie chen moonves love one another

#when did julie start signing off w the phrase 'love one another' #was it when she became a born again christian or was it after some kind of tragic event #because both make sense #this show was on before 9/11 even happened it would have made sense at any time #double eviction night tonight was pretty tame tbh #matt and jag got their final five they wanted #i was hoping america would stay tbh i thought that would make for a way more interesting next week of gameplay #if cirie and america turned to each other out of necessity... that would have been FASCINATING #if both blue and felicia were gone i feel like america would become the one cirie would really start talking to #i'd have honestly liked to see her revitalize her game but whatever #bb25 #big brother #big brother 25 #shut up kaily

A crossover you never knew that you needed...

(Please don’t re-post/share this video edit anywhere else. I worked hard on this sorry ass edit, so please just only reblog this video edit on Tumblr. Thank you!)

#considering this episode aired in 1993 perhaps Freddy D was inspired by Wakko #from the backwards cap fit all the way down to the flow off “Show Me What You Got” #I'm not saying for sure. I'm just saying it's BIG coincidence. #slapped this remix together because who wouldn't want to learn American cities from the help of LB and Animaniacs #but yeah “Wakko's America” song is basically Fred Durst recording “Show Me What You Got” in the studio #like it's just a glorified LB deep cut that aired on WB Kids in the early 90s years before Significant Other (1999) dropped. #don't ask me how time works. this is just how it happened. take my word. k bye. #Also Wes gives off Wakko vibes just as is. So the whole damn band are on that Animaniacs -ish... they are the Animaniacs of nu metal #Limp Bizkit #nu metal #Fred Durst #Wes Borland #Sam Rivers #John Otto #DJ Lethal #Song: Show Me What You Got #Album: Significant Other #lucy the rabbit's video edits #down the rabbit hole

love how harry’s like one direction was really overwhelming we were worked like dogs we never rested it was awful i was really happy to sign my solo contract bc i could catch a break and then he’s touring america 80000 times among other projects centered around america without even looking at the rest of the world, let alone resting for a while and i have to accept that that’s normal that it’s just what normal musicians do

#i’m sorry but i dont fucking care about any of it anymore esp after how the one night show has been handled i DONT CARE #fuck off for a while stop sucking america’s dick and then come back in a couple years with a clean slate #seedpost

—you know as much as I love and adore (and would fight the world for) Mike Wheeler: there’s no escaping the fact that he’s a upper middle class white guy who is fully comfortable using his privilege, because the audacity required to say something like this is crazy LMFAO

at least he uses it for good, cause wikdjdkdkdj ☠️

#my s4 rewatch #not a single other character has enough social standing to pull some shit like this off and not get punched out holy shit #I can’t even imagine doing this as a poc woman in America in 2023 #LIKE. I know we say his anti-establishment tendencies are cute and all but lmaoo the PRIVILEGE #but also—one day we’re gonna talk about how him being gay is the only way for him to deserve center character energy again LMAO #BECAUSE OTHERWISE he’s just #…literally some nerdy guy in a show about ACTUAL outcasts. #I said what I said #mike wheeler core

Modern aMerican Football au Stormlight

Kholin: a family notorious for their skill, domination and violence in professional football

Dalinar: a retired player turned coach. Has had many scandals including drugs/alcohol, a wild divorce case, suspected murder, and constant brawls. In his older age he has been attempting to change his public face and prioritizing the health of his players. He has high expectations for his two sons... all that Dadlinar stuff.

Adolin: a college football player who is widely liked. He plays the part of perfect son, but dreams of transferring to fashion school. All of his attempts to be apply have been denied because of his family reputation and how everyone kind of assumes its a practical joke. They don't take his genuine interest and intelligence into consideration. They think he would be wasting his athletic potential by pursuing anything else. Dalinar also probably shuts down or intimidates anyone that might consider letting his son change career paths.

Renarin: basically a bench warmer on the team. or a water boy. They only let him on because of his family name. He deserves better and is majoring in philosophy/literature.

Kaladin: His family are war refugees. He suffers from ptsd and depression from the violence he experienced and the death of his younger brother. He was raised with the expectation of being a doctor, but fell in love with sports and the teamwork after moving to America. It served as a coping mechanism. His high school coach, Amaram, sacrificed his teams safety to win a bet during state competition. Kaladin won the game for them, but was injured and cast out of the team. His record is permanently tarnished because of a fight he had with said coach. Now he is a field paramedic for his college's team and fighting to make more safety regulations for young players.

Shallan: A transfer journalism student from Europe. She thinks American football is stupid. But she also thinks some of the players are hot and makes fan art of them. Shes interning under Jasnah, a football commentator, and general critic. Who she also totally doesn't have a crush on.

Syl: I like the idea people have for her in a modern au being Kaladin's long distance internet friend.

Pattern: I think Pattern could basically be the same but rather than a magic spren thing, he is another part of Shallan's psychosis.

Moash: Came from a similar situation as Kaladin and they bonded heavily. He became extremely jaded upon seeing the privilege shown to certain players, Elhokar, and general racism in society. Infuriated with what they could get away with, he decided to take justice into his own hands. This led to a falling out with Kaladin, an attempted murder, a warrant for his arrest, and getting in with the wrong crowd. He now suffers from drug addiction, and is unable to seek help. He regularly harasses and stalks Kaladin.

Teft: a physical therapist/chiropractor hired by the college team. Has taken Kaladin under his wing.

Wit:... I cant decide what for him. I think it would be funny if he was like a frat boy, but isn't actually enrolled in the school. He's just strangely there. Everywhere. Also somehow was in Europe and knows Shallan. Is Jasnah's boyfriend bc that's too cursed not to include. He could also be a commentator.

Maya: lol what if she was Adolin's lucky football? Poor maya

That's all i got for now. Would appreciate any ideas on Szeth. Maybe he's an unprofessional football (soccer) player? They scrimmage against him and he kicks their butts solo. Russian assassin? Both? I have no idea ya'll

#i know nothing about american football #is my favoritism showing? sorry #probably not gonna actually write this but its fun to think about #thoughts over cereal #while i was talking about this with my sister #i missed the fedex guy #and he went to the wrong door and scared my land lady #oopsie #look just bc i said its in america doesnt mean that szeth wouldn't still be the only white guy #i will cut off a limb before i except a whitewashed stormlight #the stormlight archive #rythm of war spoilers #kinda #words of radiance spoilers #cremposting #cw mentions of abuse #cw mention of drugs

cuban hope lupin and italian lyall lupin who travelled the world together before they had remus, learning languages and cultures and meeting people from everywhere.

and remus lupin who's never gone further than newport, half an hour away, constantly reading of the rest of the world. imagining being able to go there, to explore the world.

#if the war didn't happen and no one died then 100% all four marauders went around the world together for a year #james keeping in touch with his partners through letters and meeting them at some places they went (france and india) #im kinda planning where they'd go in my head. like so far im thinking: #iceland. quick stop in canada. right down america stopping at like las vegas maybe. then to cuba for remus to meet his mum's family. #probably staying there for like 2/3 weeks maybe. #then to nigeria. maybe spend a little time in egypt. then up to greece. then romania. then to india where they stay #for about 3 weeks. and lily and regulus meet them there to visit james' family #they go to thailand. malaysia. and down to australia. then back up to japan then south korea. #then to russia. sweden. through germany to italy. they stay in italy for about 2 weeks for remus' grandparents. #marlene and dorcas would meet them in italy since marlene has a italian heritage and hasn't gone to italy since she was a kid so misses it #then over to france where lily and regulus and mary meet them all. mary marlene and dorcas leave after a day or so #to go to the isle of wight to spend a few weeks with mary's sister and her girlfriend #the others stay in france for about a week. regulus and sirius being very obnoxious and showing off ofc. #lily and regulus go home and the marauders go to ibiza for about a week before finishing and going back to britian (boo! britian sucks!) #anyway. rambling about this hc. #marauders era #marauders #remus lupin #hope lupin #lyall lupin #lyall&remus april fest #l&r april fest
