“Practical Magic” Is 20 Years Old And Just As Relevant As Ever

buzzfeed:

During the climax to Practical Magic, witch Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman) lays exhausted and resigned on the old wood floors of her family home. She’s drenched in sweat, red hair pooled underneath her, her voice choked with tears. Her sister, Sally (Sandra Bullock), pleads with her, begging Gillian to stay strong. The moment plays like Gillian’s last gasps, her final moments as herself before she fully gives in to being possessed by the spirit of her former lover — Goran Visnjic’s Jimmy Angelov — a man who had abused her when he was alive and who won’t let go of her even in death. “Just let him take me,” Gillian says, too tired to keep fighting. There’s a whole community of women standing around them in that moment, but everyone is breathless.

But Jimmy does not triumph over Gillian. Sally, using blood magic and calling upon their family line, presses her bleeding palm against Gillian’s and blasts the abuser right out of her sister. It’s a pure and exhilarating moment — a blast of light exploding from the both of them, the breath reentering Gillian’s body, a wide smile spreading across her face. Practical Magic is a well-crafted movie from top to bottom, but this is the moment that makes it great. It’s also the moment, 20 years after the film’s release, that is the starkest reminder of how timely the film remains.

“Practical Magic” Is 20 Years Old And Just As Relevant As Ever

Tinny!

Her hair always made me think of medieval plaits so I made it so. I drew Lissa with braided plaits before so for Tinny I used twists instead.

To be honest I didn’t even really use her in game because I couldn’t level her up fast enough to keep up with the rest of my army but I love her anyway.

yooo everybody. my mom and i were goofing around and found this seriously FUCKED UP site. all your information, (phone number, nam, address even) is available for 2.99. like everything. please watch this video on how to remove it. (im not sure if it’s there for minors, but if you’ve ever owned/rented a house you’re definitely there. it’s worth checking it out to make sure.)

psa over.

SIGNAL BOOST THIS SHIT

YES THERE ARE MINORS ON HERE ALSO I JUST CHECKED ME AND IT HAS MY ~PERSONAL~ INFO ON THERE

This is very concerning. I just spent the last ten minutes removing my entire family (including my 14-year-old sister) from the site.

Cool Mom Tech has a guide on how to take your information off the site if for some reason you can’t watch the above video.

Just to inform everyone, it’s American only, but it’s real. I’ve found 3 of my friends already with this sight and the only reason I knew it was them was because I happen to have their address. PLEASE CONFIRM IF YOU ARE ON THIS SITE AND IF YOU ARE, REMOVE YOURSELF. NOW.

Hey guys, I was on here a few years ago and removed my info. When I checked this time I was back on there and had to remove again.

This is something you should definitely take the time to do!
