disney when they spend exactly $2 promoting their new movie and release it during a busy weekend and then it flops

@artist-heart83 There is actually a reason for this. A very disgusting and greedy capitalist reason but a reason nonetheless.
Basically, they are banking on it not doing well in theaters, but doing well on streaming services in October, over three months after the release date.
Most of the writers/actors/workers/etc paycheck depends on how well they do in theaters and the three months after the release.
Since it’ll fall in theaters and won’t pick up in streaming until after everyone has gotten (the majority of) their paycheck, they won’t have to pay their workers as much as their work is worth.
cool cool cool im making a molotov cocktail
this is pretty similar to the “fuck you it’s january” thing. january is generally a bad month for movies due to it being right after the holidays, so ppl have less money to spend on things like going to theaters. So if a studio has an upcoming film that they do NOT believe in, they usually drop it in january, tho nowadays they can also bank on it underperforming for reasons like the above.
as a kid i had one of those “there’s a monster under my bed” moments except real.
every night i would cry about a ghost or something trying to scare me by knocking on my bedroom windows and walls. like, really loudly, every hour or so, every night. only at night. so my dad was like “heh okay kiddo let’s check it out :) ah see? there’s nothing here :)” and left.
until years later he admitted to me that he did in fact hear the unexplainable knocking when he slept in that room one night, and it kept him awake with fear. and suddenly felt awful for not believing little kid me.
imagine your kid being like “daddy there’s a demon in my closet” and you being like ok son lemme just check that for you :). and you open the door and there’s a demon in the closet
By far the funniest transition timelines are the ones from trans men where the “before” picture is some teeny little guy with sad baby seal eyes and the “after” picture looks like Kratos
This is one of the top posts in r/transtimelines and it really sums up what I’m talking about
My irl saw this post and sent me this even crazier transformation today! The little guy to Kratos pipeline is real!!!
hey i want everyone to know something that i didn’t know until i took a class about judaism to convert
the conservative in “conservative judaism” is not the same as conservative american politics
conservative judaism has women rabbis. conservative judaism has a marriage ceremony for same-sex couples. conservative judaism supports transgender rights.
conservative judaism was, at its historical origins in the 1800s, which is fuckin recent tbh, a compromise position between orthodox and reform judaism.
anyway if you hear something is a conservative synagogue or a rabbi is a conservative rabbi, this does not mean they are the kind of bigoted asshole you could reasonably expect a conservative politician to be. “conservative” simply does not mean the same thing wrt to judaism. try not to be jumpscared by the word like I was at the beginning of my exploration of judaism
Its ‘conservative’ as in 'conservation’ because it was created to conserve and pass on jewish tradition and culture!
can i talk my shit again. yall love fat people when theyre like 200 lbs and “somft” but can we get some positivity posts for people who are like 400 and having trouble getting off the floor. who have tried everything and cant drop more than 20 pounds. yes fat people are beautiful and awesome but can we talk about 4/5x more instead of just xxl. for the love of god. can we talk about those of us who cant get merch of our favorite creators bc it only goes up to 3x.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT STILL FINDING YOURSELF PRETTY AS A FAT PERSON. CAN WE TALK ABOUT BEING 375 AND CUTE AS SHIT BUT EVERYONES FUCKING PUT OFF BY YOU. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT. IM FUCKING. THIS IS PERSONAL TO ME
Yes. Exactly fucking this. We live in a society. Larger fat people are treated like toxic sludge despite being cute and wonderful and funny and (not even needing to be all these things I’m just saying, yanno, larger fat people are WORTHY FUCKING HUMAN BEINGS THE SAME AS THE THINS OR LESSER FATS)
Here’s some amazing brands that are size inclusive. (This is not an ad. I am not affiliated with these people. They don’t know I exist. They’re just size inclusive brands.)
cass is blunt and perceptive and well-deservedly cocky and stubborn and perfectionist and self-punishing. and yet people love to put on their racism goggles when talking about her and say she’s the perfect emotional support and perfect daughter and sibling and always supports people perfectly like do you hear yourselves. she’s her own character with so much interiority and so many problems and also she wouldn’t fucking say that
I think it’s important to let guys be gender non conforming without telling them they’re a girl, cause actually misgendering people is still shit even when you are pro trans. “You’re a girl, an egg waiting to crack, and that’s ok” how about you are a boy and a man and it’s still ok if you want to do something that doesn’t align with traditional ideals of your gender. You can still be he/him in a skirt and makeup.
“If you wear pink/like floral scents/write with gel pens/whatever then you’re a girl” is not the progressive statement that some people think it is.
She’s been defending the Earth since the early 90s and she’s very tired.
My name is Tominaga Haruka. I was chosen by a magical talking animal, and for the last 29 years I’ve been Earth’s one and only… Wonder-Sparkle Princess.
she’s been fighting the same villains for three decades and they are also tired of it. Most of them aren’t giving it their all. Half of them are in a groupchat they’ve added her to where they schedule their evil plans to make sure they don’t interfere with each other, or more importantly, with *her*
Xalkrax the space demon from outer space decided to attack the city when she was taking her vacation time once, and now he’s dead, because even the power of friendship and redemption can’t save you if you interrupt her rare vacations
Demon Queen Eluria: Gonna fill the city people’s hearts with hatred on thursday to cause mayhem and discord.
Wonder-Sparkle Princess: Can’t, got a PTA meeting.
Demon Queen Eluria: Friday?
Wonder-Sparkle Princess: A birthday party.
Demon Queen Eluria: Damn. How about I fill just the mayor’s heart with hatred then?
Wonder-Sparkle Princess: That’d be redundant, lol. Maybe fill his heart with a desire to fix the fucking potholes?!
Demon Queen Eluria: LMFAO love you, bitch. Stay strong.
Wonder-Sparkle Princess: You too, gurl. How’s the husband? Still dead?
Demon Queen Eluria: Yep. Thanks for that, btw.
Wonder-Sparkle Princess: Don’t mess with my time off :p
Why are people tagging this ’#wonder sparkle princess’ like that’s a thing and not a name I made up exclusively for this post?
Congratulations on inventing a new tumblr deity!!
She isn’t 29 years old. She’s been a magical girl for 29 years. If she started at 14 (typical magical girl protagonist age) then she’d be 43.
She detests having to do the transformation spin because her ankles can’t take all that spinning around on the spot any more, and the last time she tried to lift her leg higher than her shoulder she nearly tore a ligament.
