“Pressure is a Privilege. And if you’re feeling any pressure or weight of expectation, you are breathing rare air, that very few of us get to live inside”.
Unbelievable piece of poetry .
Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

🚨 Pep Guardiola hits back at Jim Ratcliffe: "We treat immigrants or people that come from other countries like they are the ones causing problems for our country. It's a big problem because the fact I am Catalan and you are British? What influence did we have on where we were born?
"Everyone wants to have a better life, everyone wants to have a better future for themselves and their families. Sometimes the opportunities are where you are born and sometimes it is in the place where you go.
"The colour of your skin or the place where you were born don't make a difference.
"Most people run away from their countries for the problems that are in their country, not because they want to leave.
"The more we embrace other cultures, truly embrace it, then we will have a better society - I do not have any doubts about that."
What makes Frieren so good is not the demon slaying, as based as that is.
What makes it so compelling, so endearing are moments like this. Moments in which the characters live in this world and forge bonds with such sincerity that it rings deeper within someone.
This grants the world substance, this gives the characters their weight. This used to be the norm for many series, but we’ve traded that for a sea of “hype moments and aura” or thinking only some grimdark depression has any real meaning.
Not to say Frieren doesn’t have some of those elements. It does, but it also doesn’t forget to give the moments that grant weight to all the hype, to all of the stakes. It remembers that its characters are more than just vehicles for the plot.
I would take 1000 more scenes of characters dancing together in bliss over an empty fight scene any day.
And I write fight scenes all the time.
