The Expeditions Trilogy

Don’t lie, these were three of your favorite movies in childhood. Unfortunately none of them had great financial success at the box office, which left them as stand alone films. Apparently had El Dorado done well there were going to be more Miguel and Tulio films featuring them visiting other marvels of civilization conducting various con jobs. Atlantis was going to have an animated TV series and Disney World attractions that got scuttled after the movie performed poorly. Treasure Planet apparently almost got a sequel too but that’s all we know about that. Thematically, all they have in common are expeditions to hidden places for legendary secrets, but dammit if they don’t fit together perfectly. One thing is for certain though, no one should have to watch Atlantis: Milo’s Return.

The Road to El Dorado (2000)
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
Treasure Planet (2002)

Is it me, or the closer we get to the end of Obama’s term, the more he turns into that uncle at the cook out who is quiet the rest of the year but is roasting EVERYBODY today.

Look upon the field in which he sows his fucks.
See that it lies motherfucking barren

what would you think of a woman who addressed a club meeting of men by telling them how charming, how well gowned, how pretty, they were?

This is why I really like books that are set in oldey times with people who have views like this, and why it annoys me when people say but that’s not historically accurate

tbh, half the time ‘not historically accurate’ is code for ‘i wish things were still like my imaginary version of 19th century England only minus the cholera’

This just makes me absurdly happy, especially because it’s written by a man calling out other men for this shit.

“But they didn’t know better” you sure about that?

dude was so mad about this he was snarking in all caps

Four for you, John!

it’s back!

After Cambodian Aki Ra’s parents were
killed by the Khmer Rouge, they made
him a child soldier and forced him to set
up landmines. He later devoted his life to
removing landmines, collecting and
defusing over 50,000 of them with
only a pocket knife, a hoe, a stick,
and his bare hands.

Ra spent over 22 years of his life ridding Cambodia of landmines.

Over the years, he brought home over 2 dozen abandoned child victims to live in his home so he could care for them.

He set up the Cambodian Landmine Museum, which is dedicated to telling not only his own story, but the horrific stories of other victims.

image

The museum exists to spread the message that the aftermath of war continues long after the shooting stops.

It also houses a relief center for young landmine victims, as well as orphans and sick children.

About 29 children currently live in the relief center.

Since we have replies back, I’d like to take advantage by asking you guys about pronunciations. Take the following names of people and places from a high fantasy foray @czarinamischa and I are working on:

  • Gelespri
  • Geles
  • Rhanin
  • Karel
  • Tiera

So how would you pronounce these, and optionally, where are you from/what’s your first language?

Just reblogging this since last time I posted at an odd time, and I was hoping to catch a few more eyes!
