2. Still on this
my stuff

i saw this alignment chart meme on twitter and couldn’t resist because..it fits too well and too neatly

In Love with these scene ***
k why is this gif the funniest shit i’ve ever seen it makes me feel like i’m entering another plane of reality
ok guys I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this gif since I saw it and I just need to unpack its various elements for a second:
1. the central tension of this scene, obviously, which is thor realizing jeff goldblum dicked down his kid brother
2. the fact that jeff goldblum either apparently never learned how to wink OR is trying and failing to bat his eyelashes
3. the way loki opens his mouth as if to try to explain himself to thor and then looks back at jeff goldblum and decides, nah, we’re good, there’s no coming back from this one
4. the fact that whoever made this gif decided this scene wasn’t hysterical enough on its own and added dramatic telenovela zooms
5. the combined effect of all of these elements being that not only can I not stop thinking about this gif but also I hear the kill bill siren whenever I look at it
Also the fact that Thor and Loki are named as their characters, but Jeff Goldblum is Jeff Goldblum in every universe, fictional or otherwise.
Hello all! This is the first of many announcements for the Tolkien Video project I’m hosting. It’s the first time I’ve done anything like this, so it’s a learning experience for us all.
The
Tolkien video project is a video project specifically aimed at people of color. The purpose of it is
to recreate scenes from movies and books written and inspired by Tolkien. This
includes all form of media produced by Tolkien and inspired by him.*If you’d like to
make a fan video (your own story) than that’s fine too! It doesn’t have to align with canon.Requirements
- All actors must be people of color, as well as directors and those who’re
recording the movie. All players involved must
be people of color. The entire idea behind this is exposure for Tolkien
fans that are people of color.- You must be 18 YEARS OR OLDER to participate.
- A name and a bit about yourself. It doesn’t
have to be too personal. Include the names of everyone participating as well, and their parts in the project (did the direct, edit, etc.).
- Give me a small description of the scene, trigger warnings if necessary, and a
title.- When you send me the link or the file, save it as the fandom it belongs in
(etc: Lotr, Silmarillion, The Hobbit) so that it will make it easier for me to sort them.- You have till January 15th , 2019, to send me your video.
- send all videos (links/files, etc) to
diversetolkien@gmail.com (feel free
to send questions there as well, but I’m also on tumblr and I’ll respond faster
there).Share this post! Also follow this blog for more updates and flyers! Everything will be tagged under #tkvideoproject. Even if you’re not a person of color, sharing this around would be awesome!
At the end, I’ll compile the video into a
youtube play list and organize them accordingly! The link will be shared on this blog!Tagging @visibilityofcolor @witches-ofcolor @diversehighfantasy @nerdsagainstfandomracism to spread this around!
And again, follow the blog for updates and possible changes! This will be how I communicate!
*if you don’t have a tumblr, send me your email address and i’ll send a mass email of possible changes and updates*
“By the first world war, soldiers swore so much that the word “fucking” came to function as no more than “a warning that a noun is coming”. “

I will always remember Christopher Lee as that horrifying moment in the LOTR commentaries where Peter Jackson says he started to direct him on how to act like he’d been stabbed and Christopher Lee goes “no no peter dear, when someone is stabbed like this, THIS is how they look, they don’t make a sound, air just leaves them all at once” and peter jackson remembers in that moment that lee was in the secret service and just slowly backs away.
