To discuss Elagabalus, one thing must be noted before all other things; there are almost no reliable accounts of her life. An empress who quickly became known as one of the most reviled leaders in the Roman Empire has a lot of different sources saying a lot of different things about the reign of a bisexual transgender empress from the years 218 to 222.

He cheats on you with house

NEW FIXATION JUST DROPPED I WANT TO FUCK GREGORY HOUSE!!!

need to cuddle him so bad bye

my goal for 2025 is small simple and clear: change my whole entire life

you ever have situations that make you want to take people by the shoulders and go "you are not 15 any longer. this behavior is no longer quirky and cute. it is exhausting for you and everyone else to act like a teenager you haven't been in a decade or longer. knock it the fuck off"

Honestly so many of my insecurities got solved by realizing who the fuck cares and if someone does care they’re a weirdo for that

i wholeheartedly believe in the idea that people would still want to work if we had a universal basic income. i am unfortunately a terrible spokesperson for it because if you gave me enough money to cover rent and food i would spend every day playing video games, drawing fictional characters kissing and slapping my meat. but in theory i know there are people who like having a job. trust.

Robert De Niro in The King of Comedy (Martin Scorsese, 1982)

Cast: Robert De Niro, Jerry Lewis, Sandra Bernhard, Dianne Abbott, Shelley Hack, Margo Winkler, Kim Chan, Frederick De Cordova, Edgar Sherick. Screenplay: Paul D. Zimmerman. Cinematography: Fred Schuler. Production design: Boris Leven. Film editing: Thelma Schoonmaker. Music: Robbie Robertson.

Is there anything scarier than Robert De Niro’s smile? It’s what makes his bad guys, like Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese, 1976) or Max Cady in Cape Fear (Scorsese, 1991), so unnerving, and it’s what keeps us on the edge of our seats throughout The King of Comedy. Rupert Pupkin isn’t up to anything so murderous as Travis or Max, but who knows what restrains him from becoming like them? As a satire on the nature of celebrity in our times, Paul D. Zimmerman’s screenplay doesn’t break any new ground. But what keeps the movie from slumping into predictability are the high-wire, live-wire performances of De Niro and Sandra Bernhard as obsessive fans and the marvelously restrained one of Jerry Lewis as late night talk-show host Jerry Langford, the object of their adulation. And, of course, Scorsese’s ability to keep us guessing about what we’re actually seeing: Is this scene taking place in real life, or is it a product of Rupert’s deranged imagination? That extends to the movie’s ending, in which Rupert, having kidnapped Langford and engineered a debut on network television, is released from prison and becomes a celebrity himself. Are we to take this as the film’s comment on fame, like the phenomenon of Howard Beale in Network (Sidney Lumet, 1976) and any number of people (many of them named Kardashian) who have become famous for mysterious reasons? (Incidentally, the odd thing about Rupert’s standup routine is not that it’s bad, but that it’s exactly the sort of thing that one might have sat through while watching a late night show in 1982.) I prefer to think that we are still in Rupert’s head at film’s end – it seems less formulaic that way. I don’t know of a movie that stays more unbalanced and itchy from scene to scene.

Give that character a big nose. Give that character freckles. Give that character moles. Give them dimples give them acne give them big eyebrows give them a tooth gap give them eyebags please its good for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its enrichment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Furthermore whoever removed the audio jack from phones should be grilled in front of congress. The fact that I need a dongle to listen to music on a modern telephone while 20 years ago I could have simply plugged a universally standardized cord into the audio jack everyone knew how to use is an anti-human move that should be punished.

Having my own apartment is.... a very new feeling. As I'm buying all the essentials and making it into a home, the major thought is that it's nice to be away from having to navigate around living with my dad, and that I get to do things my way. My dad's not gonna make a denigrating comment as I grab that rose coloured towel because he's not there. I don't need to deal with him smoking or blasting the TV while I'm trying to sleep because he's not there. I get to decide what furniture I like and how I want to arrange my medicine cabinet, and I don't have to share the space at all. I could really get used to this.

i love how Gandalf invested in Hobbits in year one and has been pushing them ever since. Thorin, i hear you need help with a breaking and entering. Can I recommend one of these little cunts? Silent as fuck, trust me. Elrond my dude i know you're skeptical but these four chucklefucks just transported a weapon of mass destruction all the way here. Theoden, you've gotta get yourself a hobbit man, I've got a spare one here. Denathor you big prick, take a hobbit - literally this is the bottom of the range but listen to him sing. Beautiful little bastard.
