sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

Yes! When I first started watching Willow, I was like OMG. THAT'S ELORA and of course, I was really happy that that curly red haired character was Jade and not Elora, but it really is such a coincidence...

Okay, this is a little off the wall but bear with me...

So, it must be a bit of a known thing that Elora Danan has red wavy hair, because otherwise why go to all the trouble of having her dye it?

And what if to keep Elora Danan secret and safe you needed to divert attention elsewhere?

What if you found a little girl, with red curly hair, who was just about the right age, and insisted that she stay by the princess' side, almost like one of your own children? What if you wanted a decoy?

We don't know why Sorsha decided to kidnap a Bone Reaver child, but this one would certainly be convenient...

basically the whole willow cast and directors wants to have a season 2, disney. the fans want a season two. what's the holdup?

if cinderella dropped her cowgirl hat instead of a glass slipper

Kit: If I die put popcorn kernels in my body Airk: Why? Kit: Have my body cremated and leave the funeral home a fun yet tasty surprise :D Airk: No??? Why the hell-

Oh shit, Tim Walz.

“I know basic gun safety isn’t a threat to my rights. It’s about keeping our kids safe,” Walz said last month about his evolution on the issue. “I had an ‘A’ rating from the NRA. Now I get straight ‘F’s.’ And I sleep just fine.”

He was beloved by the NRA. When Parkland happened, his daughter was 17. She asked him to do more. I guess he doesn't do shit by half because not only reformed gun control, he donated all the money the NRA ever gave him to charity, and now has straight Fs. In 2016 he was a 'top 20 politician for guns' He turned it that fast.

I know this is the website of catholic guilt structures, but the idea of a politician that changes their mind, doesn't pretend it was different before, admits he was wrong, and then gets shit done? I adore that.

I did not expect him, so I have not done my learning yet, this was one of the first things I saw. And Damn.

Tony, Ruby, and Erin just cracking up in the background XD

This must have taken so many takes for no one to laugh.

this video has been going around for a while but the English subtitles didn't match the energy of the spoken French at all. i had to fix it.

kill the narrative that The Acolyte didnt perform well compared to other Disney shows. The other shows were based on established characters and already had a dedicated fanbase and audience to start with. In contrast The Acolyte introduced us to a completely new era of Star Wars in live action with new original characters. And against all odds, it still performed well. Don’t be misled - The Acolyte is not a failed project. The real failure lies in Disney's reluctance to take risks and allow original ideas to flourish.
