there’s something really satisfying about the fact that sir arthur conan doyle was the most gullible motherfucker on the planet
sir arthur conan doyle: here is my oc, he is a super genius who solves all the mysteries using the power of deductive reasoning
also sir arthur conan doyle: i have deduced that these fairies are real as shit
sir arthur conan doyle: there’s only one way to determine if these fairies are real… i will give you girls these cameras, that i bought myself, and then i will develop the photos, so i know they haven’t been tampered with
some girls who took selfies in the woods with paper cutouts on hatpins: that seems reasonable
harry houdini, after showing his good friend how he got trickedby a con artist: so as you can see, anyone can make it seem as if they can talk to ghosts
sir arthur conan doyle: harry… i can’t believe you never told me you can talk to ghosts, for real, using actual magic
Doyle and Houdini’s relationship is the funniest thing in the entire history of the skepticism movement
Doyle was SO CONVINCED that Houdini had legit magic powers and could turn into smoke or some shit to escape things and Houdini was like “no seriously it’s a trick let me show you how it works” and Doyle was all “it hurts me that you won’t trust me with this secret”
If memory serves he eventually decided that Houdini was subconsciously magic and in denial
I had the unique opportunity to visit the inside of Box 5 at the
Palais Garnier in Paris, France, also known as the official box of the
phantom of the opera.
And though there wasn’t much time I managed at least to take some photos I’m happy to share with you here.
Mean Girls: you don’t let yourself be pushed around. You know what kind of love you deserve.
The Book of Mormon: it’s hard to find someone who matches both your sharp wit and your big heart.
The Phantom of the Opera: you’re waiting for someone who aches as profoundly for art and beauty as you do.
Waitress: as someone who always gives so much more than they take, you want to learn to love yourself first.
Be More Chill: your understanding of loyalty is well beyond your years; amongst your peers, you’re always the most mature. Also, you’re probably in love with your best friend.
Heathers: you’re a bit intimidating, honestly. But that’s only because you carry yourself with such conviction and unshakable knowledge of what’s right.
Newsies: you understand that, as de Saint Exupéry wrote, “love doesnot consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.”
Wicked: you’re looking for someone who truly complements your strengths and weaknesses, not just someone who flatters you.
Les Misérables: firstly, your friends always come first. Secondly, you’re looking for someone whom you harmonize with morally and spiritually. Thirdly, you sing very loudly in the shower and you’ve scared off all your neighbors.
Falsettos: you know that love is a journey, not a destination.
Sunday in the Park with George: you’re scared that loving someone would mean giving them your entire soul.
Dear Evan Hansen: you’re afraid that if people really knew you, they wouldn’t like you. (Spoiler alert: they already know you. And they love you.)
West Side Story: you’re already married to Chita Rivera.
Hamilton: Lin-Manuel Miranda fucked up your standards forever.
Can’t we both agree that my humanity was a hindrance? I was angry, depressed. A tragic poet full of darkness. Where’s the fun in reverting back to an inferior version of myself?
— You were a lot of amazing things, too. You were loyal, creative, and wildly romantic…
