Oh, I’m just having tea with Raoul before I go Punjab him and steal his girl….ya know….the usual.
What was Jesus Like I Wonder.
I know that Jesus was sinless.
Jesus was the perfect being
However......
What was he like?
Did he ever break his bones?
Did he perchance dislike his mother's cooking on occasion?
Did he tell jokes?
Did he have a sassy attitude?
Maybe he wrote poetry?
Did he even know how to write?
In fact, just thinking about it, I'm willing to bet money that Jesus picked his nose.
Jesus was the Son of God, and the perfect human, but I don't think that God's perfect is necessarily what people like to value.
Anywhoodles, With that I'll take my leave. Have a great night everyone!
2 Things I Appreciate about Princess TuTu
1. It's Respect towards Ballet
Barring that first episode, the main focus of the ballet is not as a gimmick.
Dance is an art form and a style of communication. As my theatre teacher once said, "When words aren't enough, you sing. When singing isn't enough, you dance. And when dancing isn't enough, you sing and dance together."
Throughout the show, the "fight scenes" are a "war" of ideas, and ballet is used as a conduit and punctuation for said ideas.
The ballet is used for expression, and while magical elements do occur (for example, Tutu dancing on top of water, or practically flying, or growing plants instantaneously. (which isn't totally uncalled for given that it's taking place inside a story)) the ballet puts the characters thoughts, feelings, and beliefs center stage.
2. The Character Development
Okay, confession time.
When I was first watching Princess Tutu, THIS guy made me really upset. I stuck around for a few episodes because I wanted to see Duck and Mytho end up together, but THIS GUY. EUUUGH......
I didn't hate him (To quote Swoozie, "My gang would never let me be a hater"), but I did dislike him to an extreme degree. Like, I loathed him. So I just quit watching the show and decided that I would look at some fanart to satisfy my desire for Mytho/Duck cuteness, except.......
All y'alls just had Fakir/Duck drawings everywhere, and to be honest, I thought you guys were crazy.
So I just swore off Princess Tutu, until one day I decided to give it another go.
And let me tell you....
I was not disappointed.
All four of the main characters grow in some way or another. THAT guy pictured above, went from being my most disliked fictional character to my most favorite fictional character.
The Heroine grows
The Villain-ess grows
The Jerk grows
The Prince grows
And all in ways that, to me, felt very satisfying and natural. I may be remembering this show through rose tinted glasses, but these characters were very human.
Even if one of them was technically a duck.

• Accidentally close a tab? Ctrl+Shift+T reopens it. • Bananas release dopamine, eat them when you’re sad. • CTRL+SHIFT+ESC is the one handed version of CTRL+ALT+DEL • Don’t brush your teeth hard, it makes them sensitive and removes enamel. • Don’t like spiders? Put citronella oil on your walls and they will not go there. • Drink one glass of water for every alcoholic drink you have, you’ll get drunk without getting a hangover. • Get clear ice cubes by boiling water before freezing it • Heal paper cuts and immediately stop the pain with chapstick. • If you accidentally write on your dry erase board with a permanent marker, scribble over it with a dry eraser marker to remove it. • If your shoes smell, put them in the freezer overnight, it will kill the bacteria. • Make bug bites stop itching with a banana peel. • Make a paper longer with 12-point text, but 14-point periods and commas. • Need to get around a blocked website at work? Try replacing the http:// with https:// • Never send your resume as a word file (unless asked) Instead, print it to a pdf file, it’s much cleaner and professional looking. • Pick a flavor of gum you don’t normally chew, and chew it while studying during a test. • Place a piece of bread in a container with your homemade cookies and they will stay soft. • Put a dry towel into a dryer with wet clothes, they will dry faster. • Put toothpaste on a pimple and it will dry out. • Practise fake smiling in the mirror every day before going to work/school, you’ll genuinely start to feel happier. • Rub canola/olive oil on knives before cutting onions, you won’t cry, alternatively chew gum and you won’t either. • Short on time with a wrinkled dress shirt? Hang it up in the bathroom to steam it flat. • The night before, place things you don’t want to forget the next morning on top of your shoes. • Use hydrogen peroxide to remove blood stains from clothing. • When cleaning windows use newspapers or coffee filters instead of paper towels, they will not leave streaks. • When microwaving bread products/pizza put a glass of water in with it, it will keep your bread for going spongy. • When you move into a new place you’re renting, take pictures of any and all damage, then post them on facebook (privately if preferred) so you can use the reference date as proof you didn’t do it. • When searching plane tickets online delete your cookies prior, prices go up when you visit a site multiple times.
Oh, hello!
I am unsure if I'm done with this or not..... Hmmmmmmm
(On a side note, I don't really know how to work tumblr. Is anyone willing to give me pointers? I would be grateful.)
I am majorly impressed by the edits in this video. It's just so pretty!
3 Princess Tutu Headcannons
Mytho Used to be Blonde
In episode 5 we see a picture of an old man telling a boy (that we can assume to be Mytho because the print on the previous page mentions "the Prince" talking to an old man) about Princess Tutu. In the picture, the boy's hair is colored a faint yellow.
Also, if we look at Mythos eyebrows (yes, I am referencing his eyebrows) we can see that they appear to be a very pale brown.
Mytho 's hair was probably blonde ( maybe turned sandy brown as he grew up), and then after fighting decades with the raven, his hair turned white from old age. even though he never grew older in any other way.
Drosselmeyer Used to be Married to a Ballerina
Drosselmeyer had children; therefore, we'll assume that he was married. His wife died before him, and he was devastated. To help cope with the sadness, he started writing the "Prinz und Raben" and had used ballet in the story to honor her.
Duck is a Duckling and Not Native to Germany
Most (if not all) ducks, that start off yellow, later lose their downy feathers and grow new ones with different colors. Duck probably still has her downy and is therefore still quite young ( either that or it's an artistic choice.)
Also, no duck's native to Germany have pure yellow feathers as ducklings. (that I could find) Likely, Duck was brought in by a foreign family and lost. This would also explain her lack of knowledge of the towns history, and her surprise at seeing Mr. Cat. If she had grown up outside of Kinkan Town, she would not be used to the world warping weirdness of Drosselmeyer's powers.
Anywhoosies, I hope you like my headcanons and a good day everyone!
These two are lovable dorks
I freaking love our Phanbase.
(Decided to do something a little different :3 I know it isn’t CGI but I thought this might be fun to post too!)
Taciturn and Trouble
Meet Calvin and Gene (but not in that order. :) ) These two goobers are my brain children for a graphic novel that I'm working on! I hope that you guys like them, Happy New Year, and have a blessed night! :3 <3
