If the fact that Glinda sings the alto part and Elphaba sings the soprano part in for good (because they’ve both taken from each other) in For Good doesn’t make you tear up a bit then I don’t know what does.
The only time in the play. Every other time they sing different notes, Glinda gets the high part, all dancing superficial sunshine, while Elphaba gets the deep supporting shadows; in “For Good”, Elphaba gives value to brightness and Glinda value to depth, because they do believe they have been changed for the better in knowing each other.
(Also note how through the vast majority of “Loathing” they share the same note, because neither can give up her hold on the starring melody, but “For Good” they can sing different melodies and words in perfect harmony and balance because they trust each other.)
venom is getting bad reviews because clearly no movie critics are monster fuckers. send tweet.
like honestly though you know these plain ass bitches were going into those theatres hoping to have some film about how eddie brock overcame the scary slime monster to take down the evil scary bad business man and then he and miss blondie would ride into the sunset on the back of his motorbike and i just have to ask like… did they all seriously watch eddie “big bitch energy” brock and venom “big slut energy” symbiote in the trailer releases and think “oh yes, this is going to be an intellectual piece of film”? No! this film is for horny people and people with taste so bad it’s good. no i won’t elaborate.
One of my favorite things about history is how little bits of it are preserved through traditions and mythology and we don’t even notice it. Like how we still say “’Tis the season” at Christmastime. Who says ‘tis anymore? No one, it’s dead except in this tiny phrase. I had a friend once tell me that she noticed the only group of people who could consistently identify a spinning wheel were girls between the ages of 4 and 7. Why? Sleeping Beauty. There are little linguistic quirks that have been around for centuries, bits of slang we use that people 400 years ago would recognize, but unless you showed someone a 400 year old dictionary, they’d never believe it. Whispers of the past are always there.
precisely! There’s far more of them than you’d realize. A pothole is from when potters used to harvest clay from the side of the road. Pot. Hole.
Your phone goes boinkey bleep but we still call it ringing, from when phones had actual bells on the outside of actual boxes.
Have you ever had to explain to a Gen Z why we “roll down” a car’s window?
Lowercase and uppercase are from typesetting, storing lead letters into boxes or cases for print.
The daily grind is from when a day’s use of grain was ground for bread.
“Fire!” as the command to shoot, in English, only picked up with gunpowder, as you’d light or fire the guns. To fire is to set fire to something. Prior to that, the command for a bunch of archers isn’t and has never been Fire, it’s Loose. Notice this little anachronism in most medievaloid films.
full offense but why does the bnha fandom act like dark skinned asians cant exist. every time yall see dark skinned edits of the characters yall whip out the “UWU U THINK BEING JAPANESE ISNT POC ENOUGH!!” argument like do u think just coz theyre dark skinned u think it means they arent japanese anymore?? do yall actually think that all asians are pale? do u think mixed asians dont exist?? guess fucking south asia and west asia dont exist anymore then!! all of you are so fucking stupid and racist. shut the fuck up. and YES im putting this in the main tag because you guys fucking suck and im an angry southeast asian full of spite
