I JUST learned that this shirt cost them $10,000 to put into this movie… but they refused to compromise because they were like: he’s the hugest Golden Girls fan… this has to make the movie… so they paid $10,000 to use Bea Arthur’s likeness on this shirt…  Ryan Reynolds, you’re doing Deadpool so right.

They traded all the guns in the final climactic showdown for Bea Arthur’s face. Worth it.

Reynolds paid it himself, out of pocket. It didn’t come from the budget. He talked with Bea’s sons and they agreed to it for a donation to Bea’s favorite charity. ☺️

I did not know that. That’s so much better than I could have imagined.

love how into yokai you are, ive recently started getting into them to incorporate into my DnD campaign (a lot of the more nuisance-y monsters are based on benign silly ones, with stuff like bugbears getting the actually spooky yokai). i feel like i only have a surface level knowledge of types of yokai, so whats your favorite most obscure kind? either from yokai watch or traditional lore!

I still like the Sazae-oni because she’s a sea snail that became a sea demon and traditionally her head is just a shell with eyes (but she’s also emerging from a second, even bigger shell)

A legend goes that a sazaeoni took the form of a beautiful woman to be captured by pirates, then revealed her true form and she magically removed all of the pirate’s testicles

She only gave them back when they agreed to give her 100% of their treasure and this is all just the setup for a bad joke because there’s apparently a pun on “testicles” and “gold” you can make in Japanese so it’s like “Give me your GOLD for your GOLD haha get it I’m a large snail okay I’m pretty bored”

Media portray these tales of perseverance as uplifting and inspirational. They’re actually horror stories.

These four examples all come from just the past five months, but there are countless additional articles and segments that share the same lessons about never giving up, going the extra mile, and taking care of others. The articles are framed to make you feel good, to illustrate the kindness of others, to show you that things can work out when tragedy hits, and yes, to “restore your faith in humanity.” These are excellent messages that we could probably all benefit from having in our lives, but there’s one thing that gets left out on an all-too-regular basis: the underlying causes.
