New original 3D animated movie: Ducks. The secret life of ducks when humans aren’t looking.
Whenever ducks fly south in the winter, they’re actually flying to a big city of ducks where they talk and have jobs and have traffic lights with pictures of ducks in them and every billboard and storefront is a bird pun.
A generic duck guy is a young adult who feels inadequate because his dad is a big broker in the bread stock exchange.
He accidentally reveals the secret life of ducks to a human child, and now he must take her south with him to duck city. On the way they get into hijinks and find out about a big duck conspiracy or something.
I was thinking at first this was an actual movie
It will be if you just give me 3 years and $150,000,000
How many times would “duck” be confused between the physical action and the animal in question?
12 times for comedic effect. 1 time used ironically in a sad moment in the end of act II. And 1 time in the last act when the protagonist has to say something badass when he defeats the bad guy.
This winter, ditch the binoculars and rediscoverbird-watching with the hot new movie…….DUCK!!!!
If this post gets 100,000 notes I’ll start working on the script.
Well then…
Let’s get to work.
Without further ado, and over a year in the making:
PLEASE READ THIS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE NOT FROM BRAZIL/LATIN AMERICA:
I’ll try my best to keep it as short and to the point as possible.
This absolutely outraged me and a lot of Brazilians when it happened, in September of last year. Even the National Board of Psychology said that gay conversion therapy is a violation of human rights and immoral. But that didn’t stop ONE judge from making this decision. ONE. JUDGE.
Seeing your country go backwards in progress reaaaaaaalllyyyyy sucks. And that’s an understatement. However, things could be about to finally get better.
Brazil is on the brink of presidential elections. The currently most popular candidate, Jair Bolsonaro, is a bigot in every sense of the word. He’s racist, sexist, homophobic… I could go on and on.
Recently, a councilwoman named Marielle Franco got assassinated in Rio de Janeiro. She was an outspoken activist for the rights of black and LGBTQ+ people in Brazil.
At the time of her death, Marielle was suing the police for their violence against black women, especially in the favelas. Since her death, protests have arised in the whole of Brazil.
“Political murder! For the end of military intervention! MARIELLE LIVES!”
Bolsonaro, as expected, has barely spoken out on Marielle’s murder. All he’s said so far is that it probably won’t get solved. We don’t know yet who killed Marielle, and it has barely been 2 weeks since her death, but it has already sparked huge amounts of change in the country.
Marielle’s murder has catalysed the black and LGBTQ+ movement in Brazil.
Katy Perry brought out Marielle’s family during a concert in Rio, and dedicated a song to her.
WE ARE ON THE BRINK OF CHANGE. The politicians in power do not represent the Brazilian people.
And to my fellow Brazilians:
Por favor, não esqueçam de manter a luta viva. Nós brasileiros merecemos melhor. Merecemos um país que anda pra frente. O governo não nos representa.
I love the way online culture is slowly adopting a hieroglyphic-type system of words indicated by pictures. No, I’m not talking about emojis, I’m talking about the fact that I just saw a particular red-tinted image of Barack Obama’s eyes used in a conversation and read it as the words “then perish” with no hesitation.
it’s genuinely fine for people to be like 40 on tumblr the same way it’s fine for people to be like 40 on other social media sites. it’s just assumed that on twitter or facebook people will primarily interact with people their own age and in their social circles, or their interactions with people significantly younger than them will be apropriate (eg, ur weird aunt commenting “you’re a superstar! i know you can graduate college if you try!” on your selfie or something. dumb but harmless).
the thing that’s weird about tumblr is that people in their mid 30s and 14 year olds are both on here and in the same spaces, and those adults aren’t taking into consideration the power dynamic that comes with age or thinking about how appropriate their interactions with those children are.
modern fandom originated with middle aged women who were really into star trek, and that was fine because that circle was adults interacting with and making content for other adults. there isn’t anything fundamentally weird or creepy about grown women making fan media or really liking a piece of science fiction. the root issue is people having inappropriate dynamics with people significantly younger than them, which i really hate having to explain to begin with.
