can u please hang him with care

this happens in the columbo world and not the magic lupin world where physics dont matter and lupin probably breaks all the bones in his twiggy body to slide out the prison window bars 😢 (original by @/hausofdecline on twitter)

This is such a fucking powerful day

Out of touch thursday

420, aka the day Snoop Dogg is most powerful

Thursday the 20th from Simpsons

Columbo also has a specific reference to Thursday the 20th in an episode

Bakugou's birthday is today

SPACE X ROCKET EXPLOSION

please add more to this day. This is amazing coincidence after coincidence

To me Columbo is like if a basset hound became an Italian-American man

My aunt has informed me that her favourite TV network has "Columbo Sunday" where they play nothing but Columbo all day and I can't stop thinking abt it. It sounds like a Tumblr holiday.

Everywhere I went, I took a picture with Columbo

૮꒰ྀི∩´ ᵕ `∩꒱ྀིა

I spent the last weeks traveling for the holidays, and it’s adorable to look back and see what I did with him in my pocket (portable clumbo), he was also easy to incorporate with my outfits, we went to a live blues bar, saw fine art, a basketball game and so much more!

It made the holidays more fun for me… sometimes it’s the little things in life…

Get Rec'd - Astreiant

Do you like immersive worldbuilding? Are you into astrology? Would you prefer urban fantasy if it was more gay and also the urban environment in question was 17th-century Amsterdam? Then boy have I got the books for you!

According to my research, this series is a Sagittarius. The Onion is a reliable source for horoscopes, right?

Astreiant is a series by Melissa Scott and Lisa A. Barnett, set in a Frenchy/Low Countries-ish/Europeanesque world where magic is real and women are the favored gender, like if Barbie World was in the late Renaissance. (This is obviously a refreshing change, but the authors don’t ignore the fact that any unequal system is, you know, unequal.) The books focus almost exclusively on the experiences of the middle and lower classes in the titular city (also a refreshing change) and they’re packed full of the less-glamorous but still-interesting historical details that often get left out of fantasy series drawing on European cultures. I really enjoyed the authors’ approach to exposition, i.e. use your context clues because there is none. There is only a whole bunch of astrology, contemplating the expense of purchasing clothes before mass-production, and thinking about where to get dinner. 

Our heroes:

Nico Rathe, pointsman (aka proto-cop), doing his best to find justice in a very imperfect system. This is additionally hampered by the fact that he is one of the few people who doesn’t accept extra money for solving crimes, because even in fantasy Europe tipping and service fees are out of control. Nico dresses like Columbo, has strong opinions on the theater, and gets along surprisingly well with Astreiant’s criminal underworld because apparently they appreciate being treated honestly while saving money on bribes.

Philip Eslingen, immigrant mercenary looking for a new gig, which is annoying because his most recent commission ups his social class and thus means he is too qualified for entry-level commoner positions. His job search puts him in the path of Nico, and the two team up to fight crime and eventually, date. Philip dresses like an influencer, has strong opinions on using the theater as a place to hook up, and gets along surprisingly well with Nico considering the number of times Nico gets him fired and/or arrested. 

Nico and Philip are very competent and frequently nope out of potential melodrama in favor of the actual, far more bizarre drama going on in the plot. Their romance is soothingly low-key, by which I mean it typically focuses on resolving relatable issues like “Is it too early in our relationship to move in together?” or “How should we discuss boundaries about my boyfriend’s flirty co-worker?” while they try to figure out who’s murdering people in the big holiday pageant or whether or not an ancient cult is trying to reinstitute human sacrifice. I personally find this both adorable and hilarious. 

At their heart, though, these books are mainly procedurals: procedurals with a PhD in history, dealing with all sorts of magical crimes involving but not limited to astrological child trafficking, pirate murder, Tulip Mania, loose change, and really big fish.

The first book is Point of Hopes, which was conveniently just re-released in the US. The rest might be harder to find, but under no circumstances should you skip Point of Dreams and not just because it’s my favorite. Ghosts! A lack of ghosts! The language of flowers! Death by theatrical OSHA violations! 

In conclusion, read them.

my gf had never seen the kids show reading rainbow and i was showing her a random ep, watching the opening credits and it said “todays book is read by peter falk” i just shouted “holy shit that’s fucking columbo!” anyway i don’t remember what episode of reading rainbow it was but it was pretty cool! i thought you might be interested in checking that out. the whole ep is free on YouTube and it was a book about a robbery so kind of like a mini columbo episode for kids :)

also happy holidays if you celebrate! 🎉

holy shit indeed! i watched reading rainbow religiously as a kid and i never knew he did a read. thanks for the tip!

(I don't quite know what exactly "comfort shows" is supposed to mean so I chose those that I've already seen numerous times in my childhood, adolescence or in my twenties and I often know some episodes by heart but still wouldn't mind to watch them again. And every time I hear the intro song I'm a kid on holiday morning once again❤)

(On the other hand - there also are shows that I did not mention even though I love them with all my heart. It's just that for some reason they make me feel too much emotionally engaged to just start watching in the middle of a random episode - like Due South, House M.D. or Sherlock)

OMG, 10 people to tag?! Alright then, I'm either inviting or just saying "Hi!" to: @imaginatorofthings , @obludanat , @rockandrolldisgrace , @bobateahrt , @zorilleerrant , @parttimereptile , @chrisoels , @notasapleasure , @cinnamoncountess , @msblueberrybi
