Rip Ted Lasso cheesy sitcom filler episodes. Roy’s 40th birthday episode where he grapples with mortality while everyone runs around trying to throw him a surprise party…Ted and Beard double date episode…flashback episode with the original actors but different haircuts…bottle episode in the locker room!!

YES LITERALLY LITERALLY LITERALLY ....

- X rated Will Kitman antics episode. Drugs. Sex. Booze. Gambling. And he shows up at work the next day looking cute as a button :)

- Team Bonding Trip to a countryside retreat of some kind goes horribly wrong. The boys end up sleeping four to a bed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory grandparents style, it pours rain the entire time, the power goes out, etc. Of course at the end they wind up having a great time and come out stronger as a team, but it's touch and go for a while because Jamie can't blowdry his hair

- Phoebe and Keeley girls' day out episode!!! Roy doesn't come up once, they talk about vampires all day in various scenic locations around London

- Anthology episode where the bus breaks down in a storm and Ted suggests they tell spooky stories while they wait for the tow truck. I know everyone hates anthology episodes but I think they're fun

(Bumbercatch's story is borderline incomprehensible and really more of a conspiracy theory about the Cars franchise than a story. Nate's story is about a guy whose dad is disappointed in the choices he's made for himself. Dani's story is about a ghost dog haunting the person who killed him by sneaking up and biting his nuts while he has his eyes closed in the shower, and it becomes increasingly clear that this is a very real fear he has about Earl. Roy's story of course is so violent and graphic that everyone is genuinely terrified, and Ted has to step in with a campy cowboy ghost story that culminates in a tense silence broken by Beard yelling out and jumpscaring everyone)

- 00s party boy Roy flashback ep (Brett Goldstein in a wig as you said. Obviously)!!!!!!! Near the end he scores some momentous goal and we see Georgie and baby Jamie in a Kent kit celebrating in front of the TV lol

Here's a genre crossover I'd love to see: a robot and a talking skeleton. They'd get along great. They have so much in common! And if their human buddy starts to get uppity, they can burn him to the ground by making fun of his squishy bits and need to eat.

one of my new year’s resolutions is to get back into reading like i used to but honestly i’m at a crossroads with my reading journey. i can finally admit that i’ve outgrown most of YA but i don’t even know where to begin with adult fiction. i’m most definitely not the target audience for romantasy and any other genre of “spicy” but thrillers and literary fiction and even fantasy all seem so boring to me man idk 😩

maybe i’ll just go back to middlegrade at this point

Race design for the Eudaimon Bloodline in My Cute Vampir. They are known as the Joutunn, giant Demons of immense stature. Unlike other bloodlines each Eudaimon Bloodline splits into sub-species that are relaxed but have such a different morphism that they are classified as a different species within the Bloodline.

Uncensored version for Patrons.

Izzy Reign: Defying Doubt, Embracing Chaos, and Building a Movement Through Music

Izzy Reign’s journey into music wasn’t born out of convention or industry expectations—it was a calling, a necessary act of self-expression that almost never happened. The first spark ignited when she saw Enter Shikari’s music video for “Sorry You’re Not a Winner,” a moment that set her on the path to forming a band and stepping onto a stage. But becoming the artist she is today? That came much…

[marlynnofmany]

Ah, but did they decide that before or after they learned the hard way?

The entire Galactic Council rarely all agreed on one thing, but teaching the humans magic, that they all decide was bad idea.

Beyoncé's latest album, "Cowboy Carter," isn't just breaking records – it's creating a seismic shift in the music industry. Since its release, the album has not only dominated the charts but also propelled lesser-known Black country artists into the spotlight. This unexpected outcome highlights the immense influence Beyoncé holds and the potential for her album to reshape the landscape of country music.

the genrebending in our flag means death is insane. you’ve got stede living his funny quirky little workplace comedy rom-com adventure and then izzy hands is over in a corner trapped in a startlingly sexually charged shakespearean tragedy. stede says something funny and looks into the camera like jim in the office and meanwhile izzy is live action reenacting how to be a dog by andrew kane

Canidtaur are not known to exist anywhere on Tethys outside of the Mirrored Mire. These pack hunters are highly aggressive and are known to assault adventurers. They have a tough hide and are quite intelligent. They are often found in jungle biomes, but it is unknown if they can yet exist outside of the Mire.

if you’re still taking them, top 5 songs to get people into industrial? i’m making a playlist for my friends who are curious about it

Omg I’m happy to take questions like this anytime! I love this question tbh.

This’ll definitely come down to individual preference since I know industrial is such a massive genre, so your friends may have different preferences for the sounds that’ll really grab them, but PERSONALLY if I was just trying to give a widespread introduction based on the stuff I love I’d say something like…

My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult — A Daisy Chain 4 Satan (Acid & Flowers Mix). This is THEE quintessential sound that drew me into industrial tbh. This song is transcendent and iconic and I feel like it encapsulates everything about the genre that excites me. I think this is the ultimate starter song for the area of industrial music that personally captivates me tbh.

Skinny Puppy — Worlock. Obviously have to pick a Skuppy song and I’m biased to Worlock as a starter because it was MY first Skinny Puppy song lol. It also continues to blow my mind even after 5 billion relistens.

Einstürzende Neubauten — Feurio! Such a classic. I feel like with how much Neubauten pioneered the genre they’ve gotta be there and I think this song in particular is iconic and a worthwhile entry point into that more classic industrial sound.

Ministry — Thieves. I think this one is so integral to show the genrebending of later stage industrial, the evolution that would give it the moment in the spotlight in the 90s, and it’s also just an extremely fucking hot and heavy industrial classic that never gets old.

Coil — The Anal Staircase. Choosing a final one was a HARD decision, but I feel like Coil is deserving of the spot. Such legends with such a distinct sound and vision and so crucial to the development of the genre while still being soooo timeless and magical, I think any introductory course to industrial would be incomplete without ‘em.
