Anonymous asked: Ferrits have the moth girth big dick energy Bc they’re like big floppy dicks and I’m not sorry for saying this and no you won’t get that idea out of your head

I’ve had ferrets for 18 years AND I’m the creator of Demon of the Underground.  You don’t really think I’ve never noticed how ferrets are shaped before, do you?

But the fact is, ferrets can be any shape they want to be!

They can be short, or long

or extra long, or extra unbelievably impossibly long!

They can be equilateral triangles, isosceles triangles, parallelograms, right angles, or parabolas :O

They can be a roll, a loaf, or raw dough you dropped on the floor

They’re a Botticelli Venus, a Rubens girl, or a Dali clock

They transform from chihuahua to samoyed in a single year

They’re every sock you thought you lost

They combine to form brand new never before seen shapes

But above all else

they are shaped like friends

i watched “crazy rich asians” and im mad i didn’t see it in a way where i could directly give the creators money to keep making movies like this: a review

beesmygod:

i’ve been flying 6 hours back and forth on a plane recently to go apartment shop in the exotic and very sexy local of rhode island and to celebrate, i decided to introduce myself to a new culture that i’m typically cautious of: romcoms. the plane was STOCKED with oscar bait and romcoms, but i was really only in the mood for something light and breezy to ease my quaking stomach and addled mind.

pals, i liked this movie a whole heck of a lot. its a B+ movie, held back by a single, solitary, yet very important thing. otherwise the movie is a truly delightful story about a woman coming to love herself against a new kind of adversity that a lot of us have had to deal with growing up: a cold and unwelcoming family that is obsessed with keeping up appearances.

THE PITCH: constance wu and her boyfriend, henry golding head to singapore for a family wedding, only for her to discover that his family is one of, if not THE, most rich family in the nation. she is not welcomed with open arms.

PERFORMANCES: constance wu is a terrific and wonderful lead lady and i really desperately want to see her in more roles as a protagonist/central character in a romantic comedy. she plays the role perfectly, balancing a tightrope of both being vulnerable (due to being uprooted temporarily and having her legitimately impressive credentials as a new york professor stomped into dust by the financial success of this family she had no idea she was every going to come in contact with in her life) and standing firm, refusing to concede any ground to the family trying to drive her out,

henry golding is a very handsome and extremely charming man who was done dirty by the script. more on that later. he elevates the role just by being naturally charming and pleasant, radiating a warmth through the screen that makes you be like “hell yeah i wish i was learning to make dumplings with henry golding”

and last but def not least: michell yeoh takes the cake for the best villain ive seen in a movie in a while. she’s perfectly well rounded, her motivations are distasteful but not cartoon-ish to the point where you wonder why henry golding wants to be around her at all, and she glides through every scene so frigid you’d think she’s carved from ice. she’s poised and cool and collected and unflappable and proves to be a legitimately disruptive force in the plot that doesn’t make you frustrated as an audience member to watch so much as “rightfully furious” on the protagonists behalf. watch for that scene that takes place in the stairwell to have your socks blown clean off by her speech.

A SIGNIFICANT DISAPPOINTMENT: dont get me wrong: henry golding the man himself is great in this movie. the character of nick young, (who he plays) is kind of a dud. he’s not a monster (doesn’t even APPROACH being a bad guy in any sense of the term) and passes every boyfriend test thrown at him by the plot (a part where a person at the bachelor party makes fun of his girlfriend’s body results in golding standing up to knock his ass out and i was like YEAH DO IT) but hes.

boring.

he’s just really boring. its too bad because rich people should be at least a little neurotic (look at the rest of his family) but hes just like 100% perfectly well adjusted and says the right thing at all the right times and does everything right and after a while you just kinda wish he’d trip and fall on his face or something just to make him feel a little more human. he never really says anything too funny. he never really does anything too spectacular that isnt induced by the other people in his life. he’s great! he’s just, you know. a little too perfect.

we’re still perfecting the tech needed to make truly Great male romcom leads. we’re almost there. we just need to implant personality technology.

THEMES: but, ultimately, crazy rich asians is about constance wu finding her own worth in a sea of people telling her she’s nothing; and proving to them she’s worth more than all of them combined. and that? that’s fucking entertainment to me. THAT’S a story i love and can get behind.

NEAT STUFF IF YOURE IGNORANT AS HELL LIKE ME: a friend linked me this really great breakdown of the final scene (spoilers, obviously) that added so many legitimately interesting layers to a scene that worked perfectly well without it, but if you had the cultural and gameplay understanding to know what was happening, it really knocks it right out of the park. im one of those people that breaks out into a cold sweat when a videogame has anything locked behind a mahjong game so this article was cool as hell to me

4/5 stars its good i’d watch it with both my mother, and my grandmother.
