What do you think of Rook's savanaclaw card? <333

I didn't get him (and I need to save my keys for Silver's birthday, sob) so I looked up his groovy, and I'm not over how incredibly dramatic and epic and cool it looks in direct contrast to the absolutely ridiculous context. just look at that dynamic action and his majestic sparkling tears and keep in mind that this is pretty much right after a bunch of characters have been dance battling for his soul.

and then even the actual moment of the groovy is just like

this is NOT a negative in the slightest, I love it all, this truly was an incredible update in so many ways

Favorite part of book of bill??

All of it.

But one thing I felt smug about was how it generally reaffirms a post I made years ago about how Bill's main motivation isn't violence - it's fun. Violence is just one of the things he finds fun! I hadn't put the pin in the 'escapism' aspect at the time, but I was in the right area code!

thank you for the ducks, me and my home country also really love Donald Duck and other ducks and Don Rosa is a celebrity to us

i'm so bummed that the ducks aren't very big here in the uk! the rest of europe has it right. the ducks deserve to be beloved. whenever i travel to other european countries i gather all the duck i can find. i have so many books in different languages just because i physically can't resist a book filled with ducks.

the first scrooge book i ever scored on an english bookshelf was don rosa's life and times of scrooge mcduck and it's one of my favourite books i own. i just fell in love with scrooge. i love him so much, he feels like family to me. i love his family, and i love how funny and weirdly honest the familial relationships are. i just... augh. i want to hug every duck book i own. they literally are like serotonin on a page, for me. life can't be so bad, if i have ducks.

i think the thing that makes me love the ducks so much vs a lot of other media is that donald and scrooge especially are just. so. they're defined by their flaws. scrooge is stingy. donald is quick-to-temper. those are their defining characteristics but they're still the guys we love and we root for even though their defining characteristic should make them unlikeable. but we LOVE them. and they're at each other's throats but we loooove them we looove them we love them. they're jerks to each other but we LOOOOVE them...

i think i remember reading something about the success of donald duck overseas vs the success of mickey mouse being that - mickey is the poster child and kind of has to be sweet and sanitised, but donald can get messy and that's why we love him. and i love him.

love a little cutey ducky with anger issues from birth

sighs.. family...

Thinking about the birthday cards from that Learn With Thomas book.

How cute are they?

I hope the engines got him cards.

Henry: The smiley one is mine, I made it myself.

Thomas: Wait what? How?

Henry: I have my secrets.

Gordon: He's bloody good at circles if you ask me.

James: He even coloured inside the lines!

Henry: Thankyou, driver helped with that.

Toby: Any money in the card?

It looks just like him.

Gee, I hope he got wheels for his birthday.

The animal he bestrode was a broken-down plow-horse, that had outlived almost everything but its viciousness. He was gaunt and shagged, with a ewe neck, and a head like a hammer; his rusty mane and tail were tangled and knotted with burs; one eye had lost its pupil, and was glaring and spectral, but the other had the gleam of a genuine devil in it. Still he must have had fire and mettle in his day, if we may judge from the name he bore of Gunpowder. —The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving

God bless Shannon Messenger for putting out the KOTLC graphic novel cause my little sister is reading it right now and she never reads

[markantonys]

we've almost certainly got our morgase!!!

[chiropteracupola]

one thing I keep thinking about wrt temeraire is the surgeons... as far as I recall, it's implied that the sort of mid-battle doctoring that would happen aboard a ship is going on Onboard A Dragon and honestly I would read a whole series of books specifically dealing with the logistics necessary for in-flight bullet removals and amputations.

Well, I now know what original story I'll be writing for Freedom February ...

Can't wait for people who use l33tspeak or are greek mythology nerds to immediately realize what is happening with the lore and are excited to see how it plays out.
