Ocean’s Eight is like “heterosexuality? I don’t know her”
OK BUT WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT SANDRA BULLOCK CAN SPEAK A FEW WORDS GERMAN? No one takes a not at this and it drives me mad BC shsisbsj
Well, the thing is, Sandra Bullock is as German as it gets. She’s got German citizenship, because her mom was German. Actually, there’s a homage to her mother Helga in Ocean’s 8 when Debbie’s standing in front of Danny’s grave. You can see one tomb saying “Helga Meyer” The only thing that doesn’t fit is the birth date, but I think the day of her death is accurate. In Germany, children born to foreign parents were not allowed to hold two passports and were forced to choose one nationality over another between the ages of 18 and 23. That’s why Sandy had to reapply for a German passport, which she did in 2009 when law’s changed. Sandra doesn’t only speak a few words. Her German is fluent. She did a whole speech in German. She barely has an American accent. In fact, when she talks, she sounds exactly like someone raised in Southern Germany, as she speaks a Franconian dialect. It’s the purest thing ever, and I guess most people don’t talk about it, because they know all this.
“According to Deadline, Wonder Woman writer Allan Heinberg is working with Marvel and ABC to create a series of hour-long episodes focusing on more obscure heroes, potentially including those in A-Force, Fearless Defenders and Lady Liberators.
As well as Karolina and Nico, these comics include bisexual Thor: Ragnarok warrior Valkyrie and Dr Annabelle Riggs, who kiss in the same issue in which Valkyrie saves Annabelle’s life.
America Chavez, a queer Latina teenager with lesbian parents, who does her hero work as Miss America and got her own comic book last year, is also reportedly up for inclusion in the show.
The comics series also feature Mariko Yashida, an openly gay superhero who, in one reality, has a relationship with Mary Jane Watson’s Spider-Woman, and the openly bisexual Moondragon, who has been canonically attracted to female characters Cloud, Marlo Chandler, and Phyla-Vell.”
the dream: you’re living in the woods with the person you love. it’s fall, you’re knitting and drinking cider with cinnamon, black metal is playing. you’ve built a fire from the driftwood you found on the beach. your partner is making dinner from the food you’ve been growing in your garden. an effigy of bones and sticks has been woven and hung above the door to protect the property and the crops. you’re going to make a pie later. the locals are afraid of you.
I agree with 100% of this, but may I add: you and your partner both pull tricks, pranks, and illusions (albeit small ones) that fool local children into thinking you can do magic, so that when you and your partner have grown old, the now-grown children will immortalize you and your partner as literal witches/wizards and an entire population will debate whether or not you could do actual magic for generations to come, and long after you’ve gone, your house will be That House.
Now I’m trying to imagine an episode of a real estate show where the couple in question searches for this house.
“We need a three bedroom, two bathroom home with a huge kitchen for making potions and practicing herb witchery. We also need a large yard for growing our own vegetables and medicinal herbs, and for burying things. We keep chickens, sheep and pigs, and these are all free range, so they need plenty of space to roam. My magic is linked to the woods, so any green space with old trees is fine, but hers is anchored to running water, so a permanent stream or ocean nearby is a must. Our budget is $500,000, but we’re not afraid of hexing the property we want to drive down the price.”
