Also love that I can throw a time travel party and be like "Yeah dress for whatever era you want to! :)" and have a friend show up in heavily researched 3rd-2nd century BCE Scythian garb

pinterest aesthetic tag game!!

search [your name]+core on pinterest and post six pictures

I got tagged by @pucaantaibhse and @47witchyneurons

I think the most notable thing about this is that when I logged into pinterest it was considered suspicious activity

I am apparently cottages, rains, and cities at night.

Tagging @lafseanchai @siterlas @phonestrumpet @bookishwenchmeltha @shadowen

Was tagged by @astriiformes to name 10 songs I like with names in the title, which was a fun little challenge. Here’s my list:

Baba O'Riley - The Who. One of my all time favorite songs! The title refers to spiritual leader Meher Baba and composer Terry O'Riley.

Bela Lugosi's Dead - Bauhaus. The original goth rock track.

Michael - Franz Ferdinand. Half their songs have names in the title, but this is probably the one I like best.

Song for Bob Dylan - David Bowie. I could make this entire list out of Bowie songs, but I'll just stick with one.

MLK - U2. Bono has written so many songs about Dr. King, but this is the only one with his name.

Andrew in Drag - The Magnetic Fields. I love this slightly problematic song.

Lola - The Kinks. Also slightly problematic, but actually very sweet.

Jane Says - Jane's Addiction. What can I say, it's a bop.

Whatshername - Green Day. That counts, right?

Judy is a Punk - The Ramones. Can't beat a classic.

Last Sentence Tag

RULES: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

I was tagged by the lovely @staceymcgillicuddy. Here's the last sentence I wrote in that Hellcheer fic I haven't fiddled with in over a week but really do intend to get back to! (It doesn't help that it's about a heatwave and the heatwave here broke so I've been slightly less inspired than I was when I began. But we're only having Fake Fall, and the 90s are returning next week, so that may just motivate me.)

"How about a cannonball instead?"

I can't remember who all has been tagged to do this, so forgive me if I'm double-tagging! @gloriousclio, @handypolymath, @lafseanchai, @misscrawfords, and @mxkelsifer

Acquired something at one of the local Asian groceries that I plan on referring to exclusively as "The Beverage"

Bonus content includes more conversations about the show, legends, and how we’re still relating to these characters and situations today. Plus things that don’t even have to do with Robin Hood, because it is more fun that way! 

Remember - Never Forget The Outlaws, and We Are Robin Hood!

Come join us on April 26th when we drop the pilot episode, “Will You Tolerate This?” (a question which goes double for our podcast)!

Friend: I was typing Luca Marinelli's name into a tag, and I mistyped it as 'marinara'.

Me: Oh my god. He just had a minor heart attack and has no idea why. His grandmother felt that insult.

As someone who knows a fair bit of Norwegian, seeing written Danish and Swedish is so funny because like. Danish feels just a little bit uncanny, like just slightly to the left, to the point that I have gotten the two confused before. But Swedish just feels like you are messing with me on purpose.

Star wars meme: 1, 8, 10, 13

1. which era do you find most compelling?

The OT, I suppose, though also the time before and after it. The beginning and end and end of the Empire have so much fodder for the imagination.

8. if you found out you were force sensitive, would you want to become a jedi?

Depends on the era! The prequels weren’t really a great time for the Jedi, were they? Luke’s Jedi school was probably awesome…at first. So I guess I would maybe want to be a Jedi if it was a long time before the prequel-era. And if I could be the librarian or something. Did Jocasta Nu have a Padawan? ;)

10. how many times have you seen a new hope?

Oh Lord, I first saw it when I was five or six and I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve seen it in the 30+ years since.

13. if you could swap places with any character for a day, who would you swap with?

NGL, sometimes Obi-Wan’s hermit life really appeals to me. But he’s sad all the time, and while I can’t get enough of reading about our tragic hottie, it’s not what I want for my own introvert life.

So���I think the character who has had the canonically best day is Sabé, who got to spend a whole day with Obi-Wan. He wasn’t even sad! Just irritable and slightly disdainful of her clothes. Yeah, I’d totally like to swap that day with Sabé.

Ask me more!

That post about the smoothest person on earth that you just posted - I saw that the other day, and my first thought was I could totally seen Jonathan Queen doing something like this - going to haunted house with his college buddies or going with Abby and some other friends, and his Arrow instincts kicking in before he reins in it and just goes into flirt mode. It was a great image to add to the awesome story of the post.

It makes me ridiculously happy that Jon lives in your head too. Oh my actual goodness.

Ha, Jon or Oliver in a haunted house.

There aren’t a lot of pranks or jump-scares in the Queen home, because everyone knows that tripping their startle reflex is a great way to end up concussed on the floor. I’m sure they could rein it in for the duration of The Mortuary on Canal Street, but damn that would be funny.

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a good one, and here's to many more!

I’m just going to take that Hamilton in Dominos video that you posted just prior to sending this as my gift.

It’s awesome–and in the words of Maui: Thank you!
