this is genuinely amazing.

I turned on closed captions for the Swedish Chef and I just started weeping with laughter.
These captions are peak Muppet and Jim Henson would be delighted.
how can you post this and not link to the original on the official Muppets youtube
Just got around to watching this and I had no idea the Swedish Chef is playing a sick groove as well. I was dancing along, just boosted my mood 50 points. Wonderful.
Even as a zelink shipper whenever people refer to Link and Zelda as soulmates it makes me laugh, cause yeah you're not wrong they totally are but Ganondorf is also technically their soulmate in that regard? The poly shippers have gotten around that issue but for everyone else he's literally born to third wheel. No wonder he's pissed, not only does he never get to realize his ambitions he's gotta watch that awkward teenage romance over and over for eternity. It's like he keeps scrolling past his NOTP and the block button isn't working. Bottling the princess just pisses off the other one, and the other one has the invincibility of a Nokia cell phone. What's a born hater to do
It's an honor to stand with the Ukrainian President and people, but we need you to stand with us, too: https://donorbox.org/collins_demining
People back home keep asking me, “What can I do?” This is something we can all do. Please help us clear land mines from civilian areas of Ukraine to prevent thousands of senseless deaths.
This demining effort will save the lives of thousands of innocent Ukrainians. Every dollar will go to the effort with zero administrative costs. This is something you can do to really help Ukrainian families. Please give the most you can. It is tax deductible.
Contribute whatever you can & then please share this as widely as you can so we can make a real material difference for the Ukrainian people. Thank you. https://donorbox.org/collins_demining
Creole food becomes popular on Bajor after Sisko leaves to be with the The Prophets because of its connection with him, and they even innovate on it with local Bajoran ingredients.
Sisko’s Creole Kitchen in New Orleans becomes an occasional pilgrimage site for Bajorans who want to see the place that The Emissary was raised. Joseph is generally unfazed by this and doesn’t change the restaurant for the new visitors, but he does sometimes tell stories of Ben’s childhood if they’re really polite.
YES! 110% this!
FIC WRITERS RETREAT 2023
WE ARE BACK, BABEY!
(registration info coming soon!)
For the first time since 2019, there will be a full-on FIC WRITERS RETREAT again in August of this year!!
August 10-13, to be exact. We've had a slight change of venue, so we'll be meeting in Oakville, Ontario this year. Final cost and registration process is still being finalized, but the ballpark is really similar to what it's been: roughly $450-$500 CANADIAN* that includes all meals from Thursday night to Sunday morning, 3 nights accommodation (private room in shared 2-person suite), and all conference expenses. You just have to get yourself there.
(*Current exchange rate with USD makes this $331-$368 US)
For those of you who don't know, this event started in 2016 where a whopping SEVEN (7) people got together in Barrie, Ontario for three days of writing, writing talk, fandom discourse, and general shenanigans. None of us knew each other, but this little handful of folks took a chance and started an amazing community that is still going strong. Subsequent years we had just on 20 participants on average, from all over. We survived a three year hiatus and are keen to get up and running again!
Every year we've met, we've had a great mix of familiar friends and new faces, and every new addition has been such a gift. Please feel free to scroll this blog and contact anyone who's come to the retreat before. If you like what you see, consider joining us this year!
I will tag all new posts with #fic retreat 2023 or you can follow this blog for updates.
i feel like when i first started hearing the phrase “oh that fucks” it was in reference to something that had kind of a charismatic machismo to it and did sort of carry the sense of “oh that thing is sexual and can Get It” but it’s now transformed into something that just means “wow i really like that thing” and that’s so funny to me. like i just said “this rug fucks” what does that mean. can this rug get it
They call that shag carpet dude
Dick, texting: She came for the premiere of the new Indiana Jonas movie
Dick: Jones*
Tim, who loves messing with him: Ah yes, the Jonas Brothers
Tim: Nick, Joe, Kevin... and Indiana
This is Frankie Jonas erasure and I won't stand for it
ID: a sketchy two page comic of my tortoiseshell kittens, Maggie and Bunny.
From off panel, I hold my hands out to Maggie, who leans away
Me: Aw, Maggie doesn't wanna come up?
Maggie: Mother I am not a child.
Me: You're ten months old.
Maggie: I am a warrior.
Bunny pops up from behind her sister.
Bunny: I'm not! I'm baby <3
I scoop Bunny up while Maggie watches in shock and confusion.
Me: Aw, yes you are, Bunny. Who's my sweet baby?
Maggie flops on her back and shows her tummy. She has big blobby tears in her eyes.
Maggie: Mommy??? Betrayal?? You abandon your baby?? Your Darling Girl?? Your little Maggie-Pie?!?
End ID.
Maggie is a strong, independant kitten, so long as you never pay attention to anyone else, ever.
Your Dad has had a long day at work, boys. Don’t disturb him when he’s sleeping.
btw it's fantasy, you really don't need to worry about your world map making "sense" geologically or whatever. make that river flow backwards from the sea into the mountain.
Wait are you saying I don't have to take plate tectonics ocean currents and mineral deposition into account when I make this map? But how will I know where the mountains with gold mines are, or what shores would have the best fishing spots? If I don't map out this entire world in intricate detail, how will I know if this kingdom falls on a major trade route or is sidelined to the periphery of the classical empires?
TOLKIEN SPOTTED!!! C.S., OBLITERATE!!!!!!
