I'm glad I decided to watch this one instead of just thinking I'd already posted it.

My son off the shits!!
certified iconic post
So I’m really really enjoying @mayhemchicken / @lxgentlefolkcomic ‘s comic “The League of Extraordinary Gentlefolk” which is everything I wanted the Moore comic to be (e.g. actually faithful to the characters personalities in the canon books) and so of course I had to design a fancy cover for it xD
The profiles are of the characters that have been said to make up the main team in the comic (not all have shown up yet) but there’s Irene Adler-Norton on top, the two happily married Harkers side by side beneath her, the Invisible Man in the middle with Dr Seward on the right and Dr Jekyll (with the shadow of Hyde) on the left and Capt. Nemo in the bottom!
Please go check out the comic @lxgentlefolkcomic , it’s on its first chapter and already soooo good!
We need like “unclench your jaw” posts but for eye strain. Like
Go look at something 20ft away for 20 seconds.
take off your glasses if you wear them for 20 seconds
Recommended by my optometrist
Look at something 20 feet away, then 10, then 5, then one, then if you can your nose.
Repeat twice, then again without glasses.
Face forward look out of the corner of your eye. As far as you can look. Slowly move to the other corner. Repeat twice.
Look down as far as you can. Slowly look up. Repeat twice.
Roll eyes twice.
Close eyes for five minutes.
I do this every day usually at my halfway point. My migraines went away. My vision go better. Honestly stretching my eyes as she put it feels great too.
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

My first fandom came back to punch me
me browsing this folder: omg omG I don’t know which one I’m more excited to watch, this Frontline episode from 1992 or this NOVA episode from 1984!!!
the NSA agent who can hear everything through my phone:
Yes… YES! fucking hell I LOVE this! Give them all to me!!
IMMEDIATELY hit gold, thank you OP, i am respectfully stripping for you (1987)
Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?
Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.
Now, it's just... Social media. That's it. Social media and news sites. And I'm tired of social media and I'm tired of the news.
Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?
Long collection of resources under the cut.
ALSO you should consider browsing Virtual Pet List and seeing if there are any pet sites you might be interested in playing. There is a whole genre of browser games right under your nose
Another one that I just found recently is this, which is a whole collection of blogs, organized by topic!
Look guys the real internet IS STILL THERE I'm going to cry
I will be 70 years old and I still will never have gotten over the time the Mythbusters used a rocket powered steel wall to - and I use this word as literally as possible - vaporize an entire car into red mist
If you haven’t seen this episode of Mythbusters I feel so bad for you because “What car?” remains to this day as a defining moment of my adolescence and my entire life
That was a near-religious experience
I made a gif of it for those of you who cant watch the video in your country. Or if you know you just want to stare at it mesmerized like me

Rereading actual Silm and the narrator (and also JRRT basically every other time he wrote about the character anywhere else) is more or less dotting little hearts over Fëanor's name.
Fëanor, losing his mind because Morgoth has just killed his father and running into the dark mad with grief:
The Narrator: 'His father was dearer to him than the Light of Valinor or the peerless works of his hands; and 💞😭 who among sons, of Elves or of Men, have held their fathers of greater worth?!!!'💕😖😭
Fëanor, still full of grief, rage and paranoia, about to invent elf-on-elf murder in his hurry to get out of Valinor: i hate the valar so much it's unreal. Viva la revolución.💣
The narrator: And they mourned not more for the death of the Trees than for the 😭marring of Feanor😭: of the works of Melkor one of the most evil. For 💞😌 Fëanor was made the mightiest in all parts of body 🍆 and mind✨, in valour, in endurance,💪 in beauty,😍 in understanding,💭 in skill,🙏 in strength and in subtlety alike, of all the Children of Iluvatar, and a bright flame was in him.🔥The works of wonder for the glory of Arda that he might otherwise have wrought only Manwe might in some measure conceive. 🔥💞🙏
And it was told by the Vanyar who held vigil with the Valar that when the messengers declared to Manwe the answers of Feanor to his heralds, Manwe wept and bowed his head.😭☠️
Me: h-hello?!!! Am I interrupting something?
JRRT through his spokesperson Gandalf several centuries after Fëanor invented kinslaying and cursed Oaths: oh to 😌💞perceive the unimaginable hand and mind of Feanor at their work...."🙏💞
alright then.
This is perhaps my new favorite video
I would like to state for the record i’ve ignored this post the last 50 times i’ve seen it bc i thought it would be some hyper cutsie anime girl voice and i’m overjoyed to report it is instead Weapons Grade Miku complete with war horns that fuck
