If you are too young to have experienced the brilliant, amazing, text-based games of Infocom, you missed out on an amazing era of games. I am sorry for your loss.

Filled in the wedding invitation template by @heyneon with Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect! One of my all time favourite ships and one i currently enjoy a lot <<<3 I imagine they'd get married really late in the canon timeline if they were to do so, tho realistically it's hard to imagine. In an AU or alternative timeline I'm sure they would ...

I imagine this looks like crap on mobile so pleaase click images for better quality!

“This must be Thursday,' said Arthur to himself, sinking low over his beer. 'I never could get the hang of Thursdays.” The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams

[angels-in-overcoats]

Big fan of when an author's preferred genre matches up with their personality

For example, Douglas Adams wrote comedic stories because he was a funny guy. Edgar Allan Poe wrote poetry because he was a tortured soul. And JK Rowling writes fantasy novels because she's fucking delusional.

i wanted to introduce you guys to one of my ultra-obscure blorbos: Humma Kavula from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 🙈💖 John Malkovich did not need to go this hard for a movie-only character, and yet!!! and the design slaps so much...the fake eyes and the mechanical spider legs, oh my God 🔥🔥🔥

Ah yes.

Majikthise and Vroomfondel.

"The Somebody Else's Problem field is much simpler and more effective, and what's more can be run for over a hundred years on a single torch battery. This is because it relies on people's natural disposition not to see anything they don't want to, weren't expecting, or can't explain."

― Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe and Everything

i cannot help but have zero respect for slimy politicians, executives and their supporters who destroy the planet for profits while demanding we ‘think of the children!’ in their conservative rhetoric and contentedly erase the accomplishments of our ancestors while revising history to suit their biases only to claim they are ‘standing up for traditional values! make america great again!’ it reminds me of this one douglas adams quote from young zaphod plays it safe that has stuck with me since my tweenage years:

“they claimed it was for the sake of their grandparents and grandchildren, but it was of course for the sake of their grandparent’s grandchildren, and their grandchildren’s grandparents.”

i sincerely wonder if these authoritarian assholes know that the selfishness and greed beneath their surface statements has been utterly transparent to anyone with eyes since 1986.
