the A.L. Yoder

"Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions."

BEST ASSASSINATION PLOT.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS GIF

I keep my tax forms in JK Rowling’s Casual Vacancy. I have my receipts categorized and stored between each chapter. I figured I should involve her in the first adult thing I ever did, getting a job and filing taxes. I grew up reading her children/s books, I thought it appropriate to start my adulthood with her adult book :)

This brought tears to my eyes, because I know how you feel.

Sanctuary. by alexstoddard on Flickr.

ok let’s look at this closely

it’s 6 in the morning

you carried a massive fishtank which no doubt costs like a hundred bucks into the woods 

then you either dragged a hose or used buckets (since there’s no way anyone can carry that much water) to fill that thing up 

then you set a timer on your camera (or asked a friend) and got in it and had to keep submerging yourself in cold water at 6 in the morning until you got a good shot where you weren’t a blur and you weren’t drowning

this photo is beautiful but what

That’s what you do for art.

That’s what you do. For art.

“Lilo and Stitch” 2002

Deleted Scene

Lilo plays a trick on the tourists.

IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU’D UNDERSTAND

I desperately need to understand

WHY

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

Was this scene cut from the movie??!!

Fucking christ, do you know what this would have done? What this would have meant to SO MANY people??  The truth of this is devastating. And to think it almost found it’s way into a DISNEY film??

The inclusion of this scene alone would have made it the greatest animated feature the company ever produced. Easily. And if you think that’s hyperbolic clearly you don’t understand.

No, really, if anyone knows why this was cut PLEASE let me know. 

oh man WHY WOULD they cut this, this is so great, holy MOLY

It was clearly something the crew was very reluctant to get rid of if it made it all the way to rough-clean (and in a few scenes clean!), fully inbetweened animation. That is like, thousands and thousands of dollars and weeks (months?!) of labour. Maybe a reluctant producer decided they would alienate their white middle-class American audiences by making them feel “too guilty” and pressed them to drop it? It’s unfortunate, it’s one of the most honest accounts of racism in a Disney movie (which is why it’s believable that someone got uncomfortable and made a case to get it chopped)

Designing entertainment by committee for maximum marketability is probably the most heartbreaking process in Hollywood.

I’ve been seeing this around my dash and think it deserves some more recognition!

this though like even though I’m not Hawaiian I watched this happen to the locals when I lived there and seriously
Even though the tourist industry is a major source of income for the government there, the locals are treated like trash a lot of the times from the tourists.
“Do you speak English?”
Wow like that pissed me off.

This scene would have been great.

=\

I so agree with everyone on that, but can we appreciate the moment when she went “put your hands like that” 

His laugh though.

"I also had boyfriends right up until I was 20 and I honestly thought that my feelings for women, while intense and much more interesting, were just different and that I must be bi. It wasn’t until I fell in love with a girl that I realized that I would never have those feelings for a boy."
