The Meme From U.N.C.L.E.

@banemmanan / banemmanan.tumblr.com

Cymro. Spy shows, westerns, monkees. For the most part. My art blog is 'the-meme-from-uncle'. I barely tag for spoilers and triggers so approach with caution! Please talk to me about Girl from U.N.C.L.E. (I'm begging)

you will live to witness manmade horrors that are completely within your comprehension if you've paid any attention to a single piece of human history but are nevertheless still huge bummers

"In these Unprecedented Times-"

THEY ARE SO FCKING PRECEDENTED THAT IS WHY I AM SCREAMING

HEY, FELLOW HATERS OF INSANELY-BRIGHT CAR HEADLIGHTS, SOMEONE HAS STARTED A PETITION TO REGULATE THEM.

It's an official petition through the Australian Government's e-petition page, which means if it gets enough signatures, it will be tabled in government.

You do have to be an Australian citizen to sign it, BUT!!! PLEASE REBLOG THIS EVEN IF YOURE NOT, because these kind of things have a roll-on effect, and if Australia legislates LED headlights, then other countries may follow.

FYI, the petition asks only for your name and email, and once you've clicked the sign button, they'll send you an email to confirm your signature --- you need to click the confirmation link in the email to have your signature counted.

Posting this here because it could be interesting 🙏

Basically Lee did this interview for an Italian program ("Su e Giù") back in 1968 and there's no translation online whatsoever... being the good Italian I am I thought I'd translate for the people

a collection of my favorite tweets regarding the Ever Given in the Suez Canal

happy 1st bday to... this.

I personally am declaring this to be a new International Holiday 

Happy 2nd anniversary to the Suez Canal blockage!

Ever Given Week, 22 March to 29 March (observed)

22 March - Ever Given Eve. Many celebrate by completing some small task they’ve been putting off, symbolically clearing blockages in their own lives.

23 March - Blockage Day! The main celebration. The exchanging of memes.

24 to 28 March - Hilarity ensues. Memes continue to circulate. The best are saved for next year’s observances.

29 March - Clearance Day. Festivities wind down. A more solemn occasion.

what’s your most unhinged old Hollywood take

jean arthur built her career on movies that feel like fanfic premises

Avatar

selected jean arthur movie plots:

  • what if my oc was married to one man and he died so she married his best friend but then the first man comes back to life and there's only one bed (too many husbands)
  • what if my oc became a millionaire by accident and ended up controlling all of new york and she lives in a hotel and the millionaire's son is in love with her and this definitely isn't a self-insert (easy living)
  • what if my oc was manipulated into getting a roommate by an insane old man (who is also her roommate) and the new roommate turns out to be hot (the more the merrier)
  • what if my oc had a holiday home that a candidate for the supreme court was staying in but also there's an escaped criminal in the attic and it's the roommate situation all over again but this time twice (the talk of the town)
  • what if my oc is involved in forming a union but the corporate boss decides to pretend he's a lowly day laborer for kicks and giggles and then you convince him on the validity of pro-union stances and turn around his entire political philosophy in the space of about a week (the devil and miss jones)

One of the joys of old movies is how many of them shamelessly embrace plots that feel like fanfic (I'm looking at you, Random Harvest) and jean arthur took that genre and made it her life's work

What if my oc is kidnapped by Europe’s most famous head waiter (a thing that exists) to save her from her brutal ex-husband and they fall in love with the help of his hand puppet and then they end up on the Titanic (History is Made at Night)

i love antique stores you go to check out & theyre like “where the hell did you get this”

But there’s also the curses

I've been looking through the tags and I'm cracking up.

Common themes:

-antique store worker confirming they REALLY don't know how something got there

-other retail employee (especially Barnes and Noble????) saying this isn't antique store specific

-guy who is definitely going to have to call a priest

-tales of excellent thrifting experiences that I'm going to share in this and subsequent reblogs

there’s nothing wrong with overly self-indulgent shit like honestly

make that fuckin beauty and the beast au with your otp

draw your favorite character broken and bloody for no reason

make a self-insert that’s super important and powerful

write porn of that obscure ship centered entirely around your personal kinks

headcanon your faves as your sexuality, gender, etc

have fun man

i mean in the past i’ve made fun of all these things but i’ve grown up and chilled out and honestly? fiction is your platform to go nuts. have a great time. do what you want to

just respect other people’s boundaries and don’t go forcing your headcanons down other people’s throats, because they deserve to have a good time too

enjoy fiction however you want to and don’t let other people tell you how it’s supposed to be enjoyed

Watching Classic Who really makes some Modern quotes hit different

"An ageless god"

You mean the guy who forgot he was standing on an island that was about to be destroyed?

"They call him the Oncoming Storm".

You mean the guy who kidnapped his granddaughter's teachers because they saw his time machine?

"He’s like fire and ice and rage. He’s like the night and the storm in the heart of the sun… He’s ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time and he can see the turn of the universe… And he’s wonderful"

You mean...

You mean this guy?
