I watch Crimson Peak for the plot

The plot:

Thomas' project reminds me so much of real life engineering. It's a brilliant invention with a shoestring budget. He also struggles to get (honest) funding for it, and therefore, his project's most likely understaffed, over schedule, and over budget.

And of course the machine experiences a huge component failure when he finally gets it running because stuff usually never works right the first time in engineering. Then the project has to be scrubbed in the end, namely because Lucille got stabby (but that's another story).

Why do Ancient Astronaut theorists act like Machu Picchu is thousands of years old? Like bro, Cristopher Columbus was born around the same time it was built. What are you gonna tell me next, that the Villa Medici in Fiesole, Italy was built by aliens?

And that's not even touching the racist undertones that surround ancient alien conspiracy theories. Ugh.

i hate driving. here are the laws! if you break them there will be consequences! except youre also expected to break the law just a little bit. people will get mad at you if you dont. you dont have right of way but the person who does is waving you forward for some reason. here's the speed limit! it's not the speed limit, the actual speed limit is that plus ~5-10. the light is green but you're in the turning lane. can you go? should you have gone just then? the person behind you is honking at you. there's a weird noise coming from your engine; if you try to do the right thing and get it checked out, will you get scammed? you are driving a 1-2 ton metal machine rocketing at speeds unknown to humankind for most of history. around a million people die in car accidents every year; that's about one person every thirty seconds. if you take that seriously and try to drive safely then people get mad at you.

Oh my goodness, great catch! I am practically screeching over this theory that baby!Loki saw this random guard and eventually chose his appearance as his “default Asgardian” disguise without knowing why. It’s makes so much sense!

The same guard (Odin’s Executioner?) in

Thor 1 / Thor: The Dark World

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up. 

How it feels when I reblog memes I like:

No but why do an alarming amount of our WIPs have this exact premise?! 😅

Loki showing up half dead on Thor's doorstep and Thor wondering which other villain turned on him but it coming out that Loki had escaped a secret SHIELD facility which had been torturing and experimenting on him for months and never even told Thor they caught him
