As The Banana Splits were looking through a recent tranche of fan mail

FLEEGLE, as leader of The Banana Splits, looking through a predictable-sounding batch: Fellow Splits, doesn't it seem at time that much of the fan mail we receive can turn out to be predictable, sounding more or less the same? BINGO, looking at one particular specimen therefor: Well, I have at least one letter that begs to differ with what Fleegle said just now! [Reads] "Dear Splits: I could never stand that God-awful way you were depicted in that awful and reechy horror film! And know, I still like you the way I remember you from younger days! Need more be said? {signed} Not One for Horror" SNORKY: [Incessant honking of approval of the letter's sentiments, which Drooper notes in so interpreting] DROOPER, reading another specimen of fan letter: "Dear Banana Splits--Have you ever performed in some one-horse town's 'Opry House,' and not managed to look like fools in the process? {signed} Can't Stand Branson" [Responding] Whoever you are, ye who signed yourself "Can't Stand Branson," I have to agree with your sentiment expressed by your signature; those shows in Branson are just twisted appeals to the most basic of patriotic feelings these same one-horse towns are conditioned into accepting, for the most part ... as to your question, there have been several instances of our performing in what you call "one-horse town Opry Houses," and have managed to come out none the worse for wear. BINGO, adding some insight: Though in such instances, we admit to imagining whether our mere appearance would cause heart attacks in certain among the more conservative elements, unaware of the oblivious that such communities seem destined to be wanting of any serious help whatsoever! FLEEGLE, exuberantly: Well-put, Bingo; well-put! SNORKY: [Exuberant, yet incessant, honking of approval] BANANA VAC: Now THAT was fan mail I like hearing!!

overt flirtation won't get you anywhere if it's illegible

I was thinking if we have liushang then we can have moshen and since SQQ is taken we have Binghe open so I propose bingfan gets thrown into the mix

(I just saw your liuhhang/moshen post while looking through the liushang tag)

🤣🤣 either you’ve seen my Bingfan tag or you know me too well! I’ve been a sucker for their dynamics for a while (and I’m incredibly allergic to Bingqiu of any variety so…yeah) And I am completely down for this au—tho I usually lean towards rogue cultivator!SY and/or SY adopting LBH, so I would be interested to see how this plots out esp when Cang Qiong finds out he’s half heavenly demon and his stepdad is also a demon. I can see Ming Fan being incredibly conflicted but ultimately choosing to follow LBH when he’s forced to flee the sect (and maybe stumbling into SY, who helps them?). I can see Liushang being the team chosen to hunt him down—unsure if this is transmigrated SQH or og!SQH, but either would be incredibly confused at the turn of events (for veeery different reasons lol). Cue a mass manhunt (esp once Huan Hua Palace gets involved when the OPM finds out LBH’s existence 😰) and the entire jianghu is turned upside down and certain skeletons get dragged out of the closet (ie Tianlang-jun’s wrongful imprisonment, SXY’s betrayal and death, etc) which SQH digs up for his own use against his enemies (…actually I’m starting to lean towards og!SQH, more of a toxic snake and I’d love to see his interactions with the righteous LQG hehe). I can only speculate a possible plot from here, since this au is getting out of hand lmao 😅

Apologies for the rambling but you made my brain start to gnaw on au possibilities which are my favorite 💕 Thank you!!

Helloooo pacer!! DID YOU GET ANY NICE GIFTS THIS YEAR ^_^!???!! What's the pacer haul? It's sooooooooo crazy that you're so open with your fans. You're like this century's meowdonna and her documentary truth or dare!! But on tumblr!!!

The Pacesetter holds out each gift as he mentions them.

"Buck got me a black jack kit. During the party he opened it and started playing it with the rest of the guests, even though it was my gift. Brian's was a calculator. I feel like he was mocking me in some way, but I didn't get it. I threw it away, obviously. Mary made me a shell bracelet. It's a nice gesture, I guess, but I won't be caught dead with something so ugly around my wrist. Misty's was alright, at least she put in the effort. It's a pretty high quality pink guitar pick. I don't really use picks, but it will look nice in my collection. Holly got me a...dusty old manuscript? I don't know, it's just a big book with some illustrations. I've been trying to clean the dust off, but it's just making my room dirty. I don't have Prester's with me. It was just a...torch...a flaming torch...Flint seemed excited about it so I gave it to him. Ben gave me some high quality tea. I'm not much of a tea fan, but I can appreciate the quality, must've been expensive. I like that. Oh right, Cathal's... It's a bag full of very expensive food items that I just know he didn't pick out. I'm sure his dad was the one that did. It wasn't even wrapped. This album came from Dave. You can tell because it's his new album actually. I was planning on getting it anyways, so this saved me some cogbucks, I guess. Belle brought in some cookies. Flint told me these were pretty good, although they do look a bit burnt... Cosmo got me a coupon for a large pizza. I don't like going to his establishment so I'm not sure what to do with this. I also feel like he just looked under his desk and got me the first thing he saw. Chip and Spruce made me a wood carving statue thing. It would look nice if it weren't bear shaped. I don't know why they couldn't sculpt something that I would like, such as my face or my guitar. Tawney's gift was some acoustic foam panels. I'm not sure if I should put them up, how else are people gonna listen to my sick guitar solos?" "And the best gift, of course, was Flint's. Apparently he's been going to knitting lessons with Belle, so he knitted me a sweater, made to match his scarf. It looks perfect, it's pink, purple and it has guitar motifs. It does look burnt in the back though, something that Flint apologized profusely for, even offering to trade with his scarf. But nope, I would say the burn marks make it look even better, reminds me of him when I wear it." "Meanwhile, I gave everyone at the party a sick performance. They were absolutely wowed by me, of course. I also gave me them some other gifts but this one was the best, for sure. For Flint I gave him an extra song, a private performance just for him. And..." He trails off, squeezing something in his pocket. "No, yeah, that was it..." DAY 22

Martha Wells and John Scalzi at Joseph-Beth Booksellers!!

Y’all GUESS WHO I GOT TO SEE!!! In real life!! With my own two eyeballs!!!

It was an absolutely delightful chat (I took two pages of notes! scribbled in All My Margins!), very cozy, AND neither of them had signing limits! I love hearing authors talk about their Authorial Woes and Process Quirks, because it’s always hugely validating and just neat to hear.

South Park

HI THANKS

💔 controversial but i HATE sheila her bitchass just pisses me off so muchhh i mean you have to suck pretty bad to have an entire movie where you’re the antagonist for declaring war on canada and the movie features a song about how much of a bitch you are and aside from the movie she’s not much better in the series itself?? i mean there’s definitely worse moms in the show than her (liane 😨) but at least they’re likeable characters i guess? idk man. i will say tho that i liked her in its a jersey thing that was her one redeemable moment

📌 my birthgiver was a huge south park fan (back in the 90s apparently) so i was probably bound to watch it at some point. but specifically my lovely mutual toki was into it during the summer and i was like damn i better actually check this shit out. and i did.

💎 *clears throat* ☝️🤓 in 1992 and then 1995, students at the university of colorado boulder trey parker and matt stone created 2 stop motion animated short films with paper cut outs. these shorts were titled “the spirit of christmas: jesus vs frosty” and “the spirit of christmas: jesus vs santa” and many today consider these to be season 0 of south park. jesus vs santa was made for a friend who loved the first video, and wanted a second he could send to his friends as a christmas card. it was copied and passed around, going viral in a pre-internet way, it caught the attention of comedy central and the first episode of south park — cartman gets an anal probe — was made!! and then they got a series, and stopped doing everything with paper cutouts and instead moved to computer animation. jesus vs frosty is referenced in season 6 by tweek and stan in one of my favorite line deliveries of the whole show. jesus vs santa is referenced in season 4’s episode “a very crappy christmas” in which the boys recreate it. okay im done. im not proud to admit that all of that information came from the top of my head really i know too much about this.

💕 tbh i have lots of favorite characters and there’s very few that i don’t actually like but my ultimate favorite character is my pathetic loser skrunkly son kyle<33 i love him he is literally meeee bro is literally the only guy in the show with more than two brain cells he knows what’s up fr 🙏🏻🙏🏻 he’s an angry little bitch he’s always preaching about what he learnt in some gay little speech and he actually has one of the most annoying voices in the history of ever how can you not love this guy. you’re a ginger, a jew, and from jersey that’s three strikes kyle you’re out 🫵

As The Banana Splits begin the second part of their concert with the fan mail segment

BINGO, rather stunned at the fan mail in hand: Does it seem rather surprising, fans, that we've received fan mail this go-round with United Nations postage stamps? FLEEGLE, somewhat bewildered at the revelation: How did we know that the United Nations actually issued postage stamps in the first place, to begin with, let alone know such stamps would wind up on fan mail for us? DROOPER: I was about to ask that same question Fleegle had only asked just now....

lol, the clocks again

a lot of things are reversed, backward, like the books supposedly in alphabetical order. how do you make them correct? reverse it.

but if you swap the hour and minute hands, reading the hands in reverse, they are still not in the right places. they aren't correct.

if you instead flip the image vertically, you do get correct placement.

why vertically?

well, turn that frown upside down.

it's been staring us in the face the whole time. IN THE CLOCK FACE.

"Froggy, my love. You are my light in the darkness." | @infernal-blaze

Really, too tall for their own good Sins should wait to say the most sweet earth shattering things after he spits out his toothpaste. Choking on a mix of water and mint he manages to get most of it into the sink before rubbing the rest off in his boyfriend's chest.

He immediately felt warmth fill his body from the tip of his highest horn to his stomach. " Ozz, you big fuckin' sap. " His voice went quieter, more earnest and real, " You're my light too. I love you. "
