AND ANOTHER THING: i personally subscribe to the "curly is australian" school of thought. reasons:

look at him. no way is he english. he's blond and built. that dude surfs. he eats at hungry jack's. drop bears and enormous spiders and cassowaries ain't shit to him. he says "no worries" with the same frequency that old telegrams say "STOP." but seriously, it (sort of) keeps the british slang he uses intact without sacrificing the general vibes of the character. plus it means i get to do my atrocious aussie accent when reading his lines

it's funny to imagine him casually calling things and people cunts, and funnier still to imagine him having to bite his tongue to stop himself from calling things and people cunts while around his coworkers (it upsets anya, it gives daisuke a bad impression of pony express conduct standards, jimmy thinks it's funny for all the wrong reasons, swansea keeps barking at him to watch his fuckin language)

i was talking to my husband and told him about the Great British Curly Reveal, and with no prompting at all he immediately remarked "y'know i always thought of him as australian for some reason." that's radar love, babey, and two radar lovers just can't be wrong

Time Travel Question 28: Murder and

Disappearance Edition II

Given that Judge Crater, Roanoke, and the Dyatlov Pass Incident are credibly solved, though not 100% provable, I'm leaving them out in favor of things ,ore mysterious. I almost left out Amelia Earhart, but the evidence there is sketchier.

It is deeply unfortunate that Anne Rice and white culture is hyperobsessed with Europe as the supposed hub of culture so all the "it" vampires flock to Europe and France specifically, because I genuinely think Louis and Claudia would have had a ball in Rio

HaSO: Humans are opportunists; they’re in your walls

Guang watched as its partner presided—and with the grace Hei watched everyone, presided was the only accurate word for xir—over the control room of xir new intergalactic spaceship. It was beautiful, a fully vetted and staffed gift from the Monarch Se’el in return for Blessings of Speed and Safety over Se’el’s fleet of trading ships. They were on their way to her galaxy now, traveling in absolute comfort.

Hei’s ear twitched as xe heard Guang come toward xir. Xe reached out and felt Fern’s presence and the presences of those around her, before turning xir attention to Guang, only to start away at the sound of a scampering from a far air vent. Hei focused xir attention toward the feeling being, following their soul away from the control room, resting rooms, and into the space between two far storage rooms, where they joined with other small presences. 

Hei opened xir black eyes and turned towards Guang.

“There are ones who are not mine, ones who are not Se’el’s either. I shall observe.”

Hei set Guang in the middle of the control room, better to be safe, and reached towards Fern again. Also safe. 

Hei followed the fading connection between xirself and the being. As xe approached, the feeling fled from xir. They were moving not along the pathways, but through vents and spaces in between. When Hei arrived at the storage rooms, xe carved open the walls to find the empty space where the beings were.

All that was there was a note reading, “thanks for the food” in a messy human script.

There were humans in xir walls!

People are always going on about how terrifying Australian wildlife is however I am quite certain they are not the real threat here. The animals mind their business, the actual danger is guys with mullets (bonus points if they have a ratty). Spiders leave you alone whenever possible, mullet guys yell slurs at you on the street. Snakes avoid conflict, mullet guys will blow vape smoke in your face and threaten to cause you physical violence. At least with a crocodile you don't have to smell axe body spray in your final moments.
