I'm watching Moulin Rouge for the Ewan Mcgregor Screentime Percentage and I don't think I can do this y'all. This whole speedy style of editing with the quick cuts is destroying me. I worked for 1 hour and only got 11 minutes done. The movie is over 2 hours! After another long ass minute of 1 second jump cuts I had to step away. At this rate it's gonna take me 12 hours to get through this thing. I know the movie doesn't keep this pace the whole time (thank god!) and I keep telling myself that. I think I just have to get through this establishing Moulin Rouge ensemble number and it'll be smooth sailing. Another light in the darkness is that, to my knowledge, Ewan doesn't have another movie where the editors were on cocaine. This should be a one and done. đ€đ€
Honestly I was gonna scroll past this until I saw the "I'm doing my part" addition. The propaganda did its part so now I'm doing mine đ«Ą

(Ewan Matchmaker Game)
After much deliberation, the Matchmaker has decided that your perfect boyfriend is Michael! (Perfect Sense)
You like the challenge of a fixer-upper and Michael is just the man for you! He's charming and oh so handsome, but doesn't think that he will fall in love again. Behind his kind smile are dark secrets that he's afraid will make you leave him if you knew. He will be a very gentle and attentive boyfriend to you. He will love to personally cook for you and give you the VIP treatment when you visit his restaurant. Just take things slow and let him know that you're someone he can depend on. Eventually, he will bare his heart to you and your love will be strong enough to withstand anything.
Thanks for playing!
What an interesting choice! Thank you for the game! It's fun!
It is sweet that you almost wrote a ficlet about our relationship! XD
THANK YOU!
I like wondering what a Scarecrow music video would look like. Also, it's the last song I listened to on Spotify today đ
I think my top choice for a music video would be DESTROYA. I feel like Gerard would make it a big spectacle filled production like Welcome to the Black Parade but...neon or something lol
What's a song from Danger Days that you wish got a music video?
Scarecrow or an actual plot video of planetary if thatâs a possibility :3
@ghostboyhood project to fill the semi-vacant hole of Velvet Goldmine merch inspired me to do the same! What do y'all think of these? Any tips? I love doing silly stuff like this đ€
I'm always wanting to talk about Ewan McGregor so I came up with an idea for an ask game! This is my first time making one of these so it will be a learning experience đ
Reblog this post if you want me to tell you what Ewan character I think you are in your ask box! It might be based on your blog, your personality (if we've interacted before), or just plain vibes!
I don't know how to tag this so I imagine no one will see it. I had to at least try to get my feelings out. I guess this is more for me then. For anyone who cares, I think this is goodbye. I'm so overwhelmed and brokenhearted and downright terrified of Trump's administration and what it bodes for the future. Everywhere I turn I'm being reminded of how terrible he is, how powerless I am, and that there is no hope for a better future. I can't begin to describe the emotions I've been feeling...that I'm currently feeling even as I write this. I feel backed into a corner with no way out. I feel so alone in all of this. I don't know what to do. Like, the responsibility for fixing all this is on my shoulders purely because of my age and I have NO IDEA how to help anyone much less myself. I don't have answers, or a plan, or some indomitable spirit. I've often joked with friends that I've never understood horror movies like "Saw." If I ever found myself in a situation where I was forced between excruciating torture or death, I'd choose death. Hands down. It's not even a question. "Who wants to go through all that? Who wants to live THAT bad?" That's how I'm feeling right now. I don't see how life is worth living. I don't know how to be happy. How to fight. How to hope. Not if I'm alone. And I am alone. A conversation at work sent me over the edge. I wanted to blow my brains out right there. It was then that I realized how naive I was to believe that anyone else cared. That change was happening. Was possible. I am drowning in a sea of hatred. I just can't do this anymore. I don't know what to do, but I can't. do. this.
I'm very obsessed with my body. Unfortunately, not in the self-love way but the self-hate way.
Ewan McGregor, my favorite actor, is also my biggest trigger when it comes to micro analyzing my body. This sucks turds. Like, I'm afraid the solution is to just stop looking at Ewan, stop watching his movies, just act like he doesn't exist.
I'd rather be trampled to death by a herd of horses.
He makes me happy and I love being part of his fan base! Why in the world would I give that up?
But I don't want to constantly compare my body to someone else's either. I don't know what to do, honestly. I feel like I'm at a pivotal moment where I'm still clear-minded enough to recognize that I'm going down an unhealthy road. Which means that I can still change course before I'm consumed with dysregulated thinking. I just don't know what that looks like.
The next movie on the list for review is "Black Hawk Down." A film about the United States' military conflict with Somalia. On principle, I do not watch war movies. I believe that there are much better ways to learn about the devastation of war than watching a movie that, despite even its best efforts, will glamorize the tragedy. For that reason, "Black Hawk Down" will be skipped. The next movie to be reviewed will be "Attack of the Clones."
there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you canât find any post on your own blog, itâs impossible, bluhrblub~
I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if youâre on desktop/browser and you know what youâre doing:
url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, itâs just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant
url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest firstÂ
url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isnât as perfect at finding everything, but itâs generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it âlook at my croissantâ) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it wonât necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find itâs still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order
url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case youâre taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memesÂ
url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now
url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if youâre looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc
url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if youâre looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quicklyÂ
url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I donât know why you have audio posts tagged croissant)Â
the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog!Â
caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or âcustom themeâ) enabled. a âcustom themeâ is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. Iâve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks.Â
if the person doesnât have a âcustom themeâ enabled, youâre beholden to the search bar. still, Iâve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else
if youâre on mobile, Iâm sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if youâre able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, youâll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and itâll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if thereâs no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)Â
