I’ve always been a fan of fairy tales, and not just the Grimm and Anderson stuff, almost all my life. Like the honestly faerie court stories. Themes you see in those reflect strongly in this movie, and comparing them side by side just makes it that much more stark. Often times you hear that if you get sucked into the fairy realm, you shouldn’t eat their food. It gives them power over you. More often than not, heroes finally escape the fairy realm after what they perceive to be a very short time (a night or a week)… …only to find that seasons or years have passed. ‘Hey, it’s all dusty in here. Is this someone’s idea of a joke?’ CRAPPING SHIT I WHY HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THIS This always freaked me out a little as a kid. Like the OP, I couldn’t help but wonder how long REALLY passed. I always pretended it was something like a week but… Judging by that moss, I can’t say for sure. A week? Try much MUCH /MUCH/ longer. The plants are a good indicator but a better one is the statue. We’re seeing it from the same angle in each shot. Look in the first one before she enters, it’s not NEW but you can tell what it is. Now look at the second frame. It’s so eroded it’s just a dull, flat stone. That thing is solid stone, that must have taken up to, if not more than, a DECADE to wear down that much. Not to mention that there are new trees next to the car. Just remember how long it actually takes for trees to grow real quick. Evidence is suggesting they were in there for maybe around 20-30 years. This was always one of my favorite things about the movie. There’s also the fact that the opening is completely different. It’s built from stones in the scenes where Chihiro and her family leave the spirit world. Which means that the wall had to have been rebuilt…which means the other one wore down too much and to keep the structure standing (it looks like maybe it’s a road on top? I can’t remember it’s been so long since I’ve seen the movie). But it looks like the original was built with some pretty study stuff. So to have that corrode enough to have to rebuild the structure…I’d say closer to the late 20s if we’re going by the 20-30 years.

OH MY GOD APPARENTLY TAKING AN ARROW TO THE KNEE WAS AN OLD NORDIC SLANG FOR GETTING MARRIED 

I THOUGHT THAT ALL THOSE GUYS IN SKYRIM HAD LITERALLY BEEN SHOT IN THEIR KNEES WITH ARROWS BUT I GUESS NOT

And at that moment, the foundation of that entire meme became something like this:

my life is a lie.

“I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I got married.”

IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.

fearbeforetheflames: limmynem: Gallium Gallium is a silvery metal with atomic number 31. It’s used in semiconductors and LEDs, but the cool thing about it is its melting point, which is only about 85 degrees Fahrenheit. If you hold a solid gallium crystal in your hand, your body heat will cause it to slowly melt into a silvery metallic puddle. Pour it into a dish, and it freezes back into a solid. While you probably shouldn’t lick your fingers after playing with it, gallium isn’t toxic and won’t make you crazy like mercury does. And if you get tired of it, you can melt it onto glass and make yourself a mirror.

Today I had the honor of speaking at the UNIS conference at the UN. After I was finished, three students recited original poems from the stage. One of them really blew me away:

Fluorescent Adolescence

Overqualified yet underachieving
It’s singing delightfully off key to the radio
Yet pitch perfect in the shower
It’s spending a half hour in the morning
Perfecting your messy bun
It’s gelling bedhead
It’s lifting weights yet covering yourself up in turtlenecks
It’s being a closet philosopher but blaming lackluster grades on “not trying?”
It’s tumbling, sharing, instagramming
The perpetual pursuit of cool but aloof,
hard to get,
wit,
sarcasm,
invincibility.

It’s the cycle of hurting
Fixing
loving
hating
wanting
lying… and then telling the truth.
It sucks.
But perhaps when we’re older
a new set of problems will cause us to miss those of adolescence.
So I guess we should learn to love the pain,
Since it’s pain that allows us to live and love radically,
feel monumentally,
and smell the coffee or watch the stars, or hear the music
that we might later pass by in the rush of the real world.

For now we are poets
And activists
Astronauts
Bloggers
Writers
Photographers
Teachers
Engineers and Inventors
For now, we are what we want to be.
Some say the grass is greener on the other side but I’d disagree:
I say our grass fluorescent.

The closest book to me was a book about Rolls Royces. So,

‘After testing the chassis were pressure washed with water and paraffin before renewed hand painting in brown chassis finish.’

Idk if that means anything, it appears my sex life may be confusing and somewhat oily. 

omg my book was an irvine welsh novel and it’s just ‘I can’t come.’

‘I CAN’T COME’ its not looking good for me is it really

“Few dared disobey him”


hmm

kinky

“Alcohol will:

  • give a false sense of confidence”

(Driving theory. I don’t know how I feel about this.)

“When she returned, she sat in the darkness awhile longer, waiting and listening.” Hm…. .-.

WHOA SINGLE!

“Chuck turned back and got up on his elbow. ‘You can forget that little thought right now.’”

Wut.

”Finally she found her voice” jesus fucking hell.

“We’re going to kill each other, aren’t we?”

… kinky?
