yo shout-out to the best boyfriend of all time who took a day trip to connecticut to see star trek with me and my parents and who not only accepts my insane level of benedict cumberbatch fangirlery, but actively indulges it

four for you glen coco

you go glen coco

(and when the summer sun comes, you might shape up:
go back to being yourself
and to the ones you loved

and when the summer sun comes, you might just say,
‘i gotta find a way
to get away…’)

wait hold on isn’t this from that garfield’s nine lives book? where one of his lives is spent as a noir detective?

my childhood obsession with all things garfield has apparently not left my brain. well then.

I don’t think I’ll EVER stop being blown away by the brilliant subtleties of Disney animation… Look at this….
we start from a slight angle, just behind Belle’s head, with both characters making eye contact with each other. Belle moves in, putting a hand on The Prince’s back to pull him closer, while also directing his head motion with the other hand. They rotate in space while all this happens, so we get a nice profile view of the actual kiss. A beat after she pulls him in, he cups that back of her head gently —a cute contrast to fact that she has smushed his cheeks— and shifts her position, mid-kiss. It’s quick, and classy and happy, and when they shift away, slowly, maintaining eye contact, Belle drops down (because the animator realized she would have to be on tiptoe for this shot —brilliant brilliant) and the we rotate again to just behind The Prince’s head… And you never notice that this shot has actually shifted 180 degrees. It’s subtle, joyful and so well executed that you never think to remark on any of it.
Seriously, Disney. I don’t even.
I can’t..wow
