This is the best video in existence. Your argument is invalid.
Jesus christ, stop it.
I thought this was going to be some inspirational words or a heart-filled shout out.. I should learn to expect the unexpected with Barrowman.
what was my life before i saw this? john barrowman, there is no limit for my love of you.
Reblogging again! <3
THIS MAN IS PRECIOUS
JOHN. YOU ARE A GROWN MAN. PLEASE, JOHN.
this is the laugh i needed right now thank you mr barrowman

Crying
(via bladeofmasyaf)
I know a lot of us (myself included) are a little nervous regarding the overall quality of the Hobbit so let’s take a moment to reflect upon the reality that this is a real screencap taken from the actual first Lord of the Rings movie. Like this was a real transition effect that was used in your favorite movie and I think we have collectively suppressed it from our memories so I suggest that we now come to terms with it.
this needs some comic sans all over it and then it’s perfect
Yer welcome.
OH MY GOD I THOUGHT THIS POST COULDN’T GET ANY BETTER
