The Best Pictures Of This Year’s Japanese Cherry Blossoms

The Japanese cherry blossom, known as the Sakura in Japanese, is the flower of a cherry tree that is cultivated for its decorative features rather than for cherries (it doesn’t bear fruit). The overwhelming beauty of the cherry blossom bloom has been known and adored for ages. The blooming period is associated with Japanese traditions, culture, aesthetics, and is a bittersweet metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life itself.

The blooming cherry blossoms herald the beginning of the centuries-old Hanami festival – the traditional Japanese custom of picnicking under trees rich with flowering Sakura branches and enjoying this short but striking first breath of spring. The blossoming wave usually starts in Okinawa in January or February and progresses through all of Japan until April or May. The cherry blossom front (Sakura zensen) can be conveniently tracked every year using this calendar.

Gaston on women’s Lib.

You see this is the sort of thing I like. Because, especially at Disney, you don’t want to really discourage any of those ideals “thinking, having your own ideas” but you also have to stay in character. So you associate those ideals with the princess in the group, the one who the young girl is supposed to idolize. So, while staying in character, Gaston can announce his displeasure for women who read while also encouraging it in a young girl by giving it the good association of Belle. Idk, I always thought those work arounds that Disney villain face characters go through to not be overtly mean to children but stay in character were really interesting.

I just gained so fucking much respect for this Gaston.

No one’s sneakily a feminist like Gaston

FNaF Movie News

fnaf-theory:

As you may have heard, a Five Nights at Freddy’s movie is in the making. Gil Kenan has been set to direct the movie. Of course questions have been pouring in for him, which, to our delight, he has been answering in the best ways! The intimacy of the relationship between FNaF fans and one of the most important figures of the film makes for some serious excitement.

For those of you who aren’t keeping up with every tweet, here’s what you need to know:

The animatronics are REAL. In fact, they’re

In fact, have a look at the animatronics in the making! (I’m making believe the “ps” on the package next to the outlet stands for Parts & Services)

Best of all, they are sure to be made with synthetic fur.

This movie is going to feature FNaF lore, but follow an original plot with more than one Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria location.

Apparently he had gone straight to Scott Cawthon to get him involved in the process of creating this film, so rest assured: we’re getting the best stuff we could possibly get.

Perhaps he is also hinting something at the plot of the movie with this reply:

This might be suggesting that at least two victims in the movie, during which there will apparently be a lot of death, will be girls!

Also, Gil Kenan is just plain funny, in the best way possible: lighthearted and respectful. Bonus points for casting the Cupcake with the same name as my cupcake.

And I KNOW you all have been DYING to know, and I’m proud to say that YES, the most important question regarding the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie has been answered:

I don’t know about you, but we are so excited for this movie. 

fnaf-theory wishes the best of luck to Gil Kenan!
