I will never understand why this Christmas song goes so hard.
OKAY MOTHERFUCKERS LISTEN UP
BECAUSE THIS SHIT IS NOT CAROL OF THE BELLS
IT IS CHRISTMAS EVE/SARAJEVO 12/24 AND IT IS SO MUCH FUCKING MORE THAN CAROL OF THE BELLS.
so during the bosnian war (which was this nasty-ass conflict in bosnia and herzgovina) there was this badass cello-playing motherfucker named vedran smailovic. He was from Sarajevo, was upset about all the shit and nastiness that came about through this war (this was full-on brother-killing-brother shit!) that he went around to bombed-out, blown up buildings and funderals––where he was at risk of FUCKING SNIPER FIRE––and playing the cello. This guy was so set on providing one tiny spot of beauty in a seriously nasty war he was risking being fucking SHOT OR BLOWN UP.
AND THIS IS THE GUY WHO INSPIRED THIS SONG.
He’s why there’s the calm cello part at the beginning before everything gets all violent-sounding. It’s THEMATIC.
THAT’S WHY THIS CHRISTMAS SONG GOES SO FUCKING HARD.
Knowing and understanding history makes everything better. :)
Sometimes I remember Melissa Benoist was born in Texas and I’m like, “Yes… I claim her.” Something else we did right besides Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce.
Jeremy Jordan and Mechad Brooks are also from Texas, actually. That Supergirl cast, though!
unrelated to Supergirl but Demi Lovato is also from Texas and she’s fantastic
I was going to add this later!
Also Lindsey Morgan and Candice Patton.
Sarah Shahi
YES! How could I forget her?!
I worked with a girl who went to school with her.
Amy Acker is also from Texas. Both parts of Shoot!
please get me these pants, because i want pepe the frog to carry the weight of my fucking sins, as if he were some kind of peasant i hired so my royal feet needn’t touch the ground
my mom has a friend who has a failed program-service dog and he’s literally my favorite creature
He’s a really smart lab, he learned all the commands, but he just has an affinity for doing them whenever he wants
So this lady’s dog literally turns on-off lights, opens doors, opens the fridge, etc… at his own wishes.
Her house looks like its baby-proofed, with kid safe locks on everything and stuff, but really she just has a dog that’s learned all the mobility service dog commands but has a mind of his own.
