you have my attention

They really went and fixed every issue with the original in one go huh

My understanding is that it’s not even a reboot.

It’s just a continuation of the franchise without the “Jack Sparrow” character. It’s a whole world of piracy, magic, and adventures, so why limit it to revolving around the adventures of one dude and his friends?

From what I’m hearing, it’s going to focus on the character of Redd from the ride.

Remember the one part in the ride where the pirates are auctioning off the women? And a bunch of the pirates are chanting “We wants the redhead!” and sure enough, there’s a gorgeous redhead getting auctioned off?

Well, luckily, Disney recently changed the scene. There are now no women getting auctioned off, and the redhead, since renamed Redd, is a pirate captain in her own right.

The reworked character has become so popular that she’s actually a walk around character that you can meet in the park.

I really hope the rumors are true because we deserve a movie or twelve about female pirates

lmao on the edinburgh zoo site it says “there is a daily penguin parade at 14:15 but it may be cancelled last minute as it is a voulntary parade, we do not coax the penguins with food, and they may not want to go out” lmao anarchopenguinism

this is the cutest goddamn thing i’ve ever heard

I saw the penguin parade. It was a very slow parade, because the pingüinos take their sweet time and aren’t very fast walkers to begin with.

can I volunteer to be a penguin

I feel like the world needs to know the context of the edinburgh zoo penguin parade, becausr I’ve been going there my entire life and I only found out about this the other year.

So a while back (I can’t remember exactly when but I think it was some time around the 40s/50s), a bunch of penguins escaped. A keeper left the gate open so a bunch of penguins just… followed them. And the people loved it. Look at these adorable birds outside their cage just following that guy around! So they get all the penguins back inside and realise that none of them really ran off, they just followed the keeper and went back inside and crowd thought it was amazing, so why not make it a regular thing? Get enough people there that if one of them goes to make a run for it (which at least one has in the past), they can’t get past the people, and let the ones who want outside have a little wander. So every day, they get a crowd, they open the gate, and whatever penguins want to get out can go, waddle about, squawk at people, and then hop back inside.

Also, one of those penguins is Brigadier Sir Nils Olaf III, Colonel-in-cheif of the Norwegian King’s Guard. This isn’t really related to the parade at all, I just love the fact that there’s a penguin in the Norwegian army

Reblogging with Brigadier Sir Nils Olaf III inspecting his troops.

Carry on …

so i had to look up this penguin in the norwegian army to find out WHY there’s a penguin in the norwegian army and so, some choice info from his wikipedia page:

in 1913 norway gave the edinburgh zoo its first king penguin

in 1972 the norwegian kings guard visited edinburgh for a drill display, and adopted a king penguin. the penguin had not done anything special, penguins were not meaningful to this regiment, they just wanted a penguin. so they got a penguin. they named him after the man who had this idea, nils egelien, and the at-the-time king of norway, olav v

the penguin pictured is nils olav iii, as the original penguin adopted in 1972 is no longer with us

each time the kings guard visit the zoo he gets promoted. he started as a lance corporal and is now a brigadier

when he was knighted a citation from the king described him as a penguin “in every way qualified to receive the honour and dignity of knighthood”

nils is the only knighted penguin in the world, and the only knight of norway

When I first saw the coin with the tiny sword, I didn’t know it was a modern piece, or who made it. It’s nice to see an attribution for Roman Booteen’s work – it is amazing and he should be known.

@copperbadge

Oh wow! I assumed it was modern but I hadn’t ever seen any of his other work. Crazy good!

grown ass men are out here not eating fruit or vegetables or washing their face and having a list of things women must do to be attractive to them and thus gain their respect like grow the fuck up and eat a carrot literally no woman needs you

“No woman needs you” said the future cat lady lol

Newsflash. No man needs a bitch telling him to eat rabbit food and nagging him constantly.

I cannot wait to see feminism burn itself out.

u gonna die of scurvy in the name of antifeminism

The scurvy got him

I don’t get why ‘cat lady’ is an insult to women. 

My dude, you got this backward; welcome to the modern era, we have careers, money, we buy our own houses and cars, and we have easy access to a selection of vibrators our ancestresses could only dream of.  Companionship is great and everything, but as many of us discovered, it comes in many forms.

If a woman has a cat but you don’t see a guy, that’s usually because she did the math and overall, men scored lower than a furry animal that shits in a box and a Hitachi.

accurate.

@deadcatwithaflamethrower

Too bad he never ate that fucking carrot.

I have a headcanon that Hermione insists her children attend some primary muggle schooling before Hogwarts, just as she had done. Now, imagine Arthur Weasley attending his grandchild’s science fair, being the ultra proud grandfather….and yet also completely geeking out over absolutely EVERYTHING.

Canon

“That is a volcano, that is a VERY SMALL VOLCANO, how - young lady, how did you make this? Baking soda and food coloring? MARVELOUS!”

the kids would love him.

Never have I ever loved anything more than I love this

All the muggle teachers would think he was being so adorable, “pretending” not to know how potato batteries and mini-volcanoes work, fawning over the hard work the kids did on even the simplest the projects. And he comes every year, because after the kids have aged out (”gone on to some boarding school in Scotland,” the teachers say over bad coffee in the break room, “they didn’t seem the type”), he gets an honorary invitation to the fair every year, because he never stops making the kids feel smart and good. 

“And this airy-o-plane, it flies by means of a… rubber band? Did I hear that correctly? No magic at all? Doesn’t flap its wings like a bird? MARVELOUS! What an ingenious method of flight!” *looks around* “You, sir! With the ribbons! This child deserves one of those prizes!”

fun tip for cis people: instead of saying “back when she was a he” or “back before [birthname] became [preferred name]”, try not being a pile of shit by saying something like “before she came out” or “before she began her transition”!

Pls friends and thanks.

“before she came out” is so easy and preserves so much dignity, PLEASE

I’ve been wondering the best way to say this. Thank you. 

also if their transition is irrelevant to the story, don’t bring it up! just say “when X was a kid/ younger/ in college/ etc” and carry on using their current name and pronouns.

That last point is very important! DO NOT OUT ANYONE! Do not bring up their trans status or transition unnecessarily! And you trying to look more interesting/cool/whatever by having a trans friend does not count as “neccessary”!!
