i will never forgive hale appleman for tearing up during the coronation scene. never has a tiny quirk of the mouth conveyed so much love or understanding of a character and for this i will loathe him forever.
The FACT that Eliot “Everything was beautiful at the ballet” Waugh, who considers himself an art project, whose darkest secret as revealed in the trials is his uhhhh entire life history, literally breaks down and cries when someone seeshim and tells him he’s gonna be great is transformative. It’s a moment that literally inflects and reinvents every phase of his character for the next four seasons. It makes the character and thereby the show drastically different from what it would have been without that keystone insight.
absolutely not, can you imagine growing up only to find out you’re fuckin. arctic blitz flavor. and you just have to live with that forever. i’d get a mastectomy.
the power of this piece is so intensely raw and honest…. Children absorb EVERYTHING. they notice absolutely everything, but they lack the vehicle of self expression and autonomy to convey their feelings. That’s why the art they make is so important to me
Makes me mad to think of all the teachers who would have stopped a kid from making this. I love that it’s been kept for so long.
In response to this event, some redditors created r/charityraid, with the goal of concentrating the power of thousands of users into a single charity at a time to hopefully break a few more sites.
As of 9/21/21, the site has updated with more wishes. The incredible spike in donations is amazing, but if you want to and are able to keep the momentum going, there are over 300 waiting to be filled at https://www.onesimplewish.org!
a lot of these are very basic, small things. i just spent 17 dollars to buy a kid water shoes for a lake vacation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Since I came across this post the first time, I try to go to One Simple Wish semi-regularly and buy a foster kid something. There’s a wide range of wishes and prices available–you can pick something as little as a book to put under the tree, or as important as a set of pots and pans for a kid transitioning to their independent living setting, so you can pick whatever suits your budget and tickles your fancy. Help some kids who could use a good turn in life.
