GIVE ME MORE MILLER'S GIRL they say

A small audio play excerpt from Chapter 1 of Under Virgin Circumstances, plus 30 seconds of...a scary surprise at the end.

Do not turn up the music, your ears will be startled by the dialogue. Music is just all background for both. Never mind. Doesn't seem like I can fix the volume (I don't 🤷🏽‍♂️). Turn it up all you want. 🫴🏽💩💕✨

No foley, just dialogue and music.

Creature Awaits #223

Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )

A special feature for my husband - Hope he has a wonderful birthday this year! ❤️

The Antelope Jackrabbit

Scientific Name: Lepus alleni

Region: Southern Arizona southward into Mexico

Size: About 20.5"-22.8" (~52cm-58cm) long, not counting the head and tail

Interesting Notes: This beautiful hare is most active at twilight and throughout the night, but will occasionally be active in the day when there's enough cloud cover to shield them from direct sunlight. (Sounds like someone else I know……….Happy Birthday, Dear! ^^)

Golden Hare

[detailtilted]

I'm just going to quietly reblog this post to continue the saga of "ridiculous things I've read about on the internet because I'm trying to subtitle Jared and Jensen with accurate spelling".

This time it was Jensen's fault. The scene is a year later, at the CHICON 2009 Breakfast. He was talking about some lines he adlibbed in Changing Channels and he said, "sometimes I just get a wild [hair/hare]".

This is a phrase I've heard, but it's not one I've used myself or given much thought to. Now I had to figure out it it was "hair" or "hare". An internal debate ensued: "A hare is more likely to be wild. But hair can be pretty wild too, depending on the circumstances. But which one is more likely to cause Jensen to adlib something? Why would either cause Jensen to adlib something?"

So naturally the next thing I did was Google the phrase. What I learned is that this isn't the whole original phrase. The whole original phrase is, "a wild [hair/hare] up my ass". This really changes everything, right?

Believe it or not, there is still some debate on the internet (surprise, surprise!) about the correct spelling, but "hair' seems to be the dominant choice, implying that having an unexpected hair up your ass might result in some agitation or twitchiness and thus cause you to do something unpredictable.

But I now have images in my mind that I may never be able to erase...

I blame Jared for the fact that I just spent the past 20+ minutes of my life reading people's arguments about how to spell the abbreviation “mic” when used as a past tense verb so I could properly subtitle him. 🤣

Mic’d seemed to come slightly ahead of miked in the popularity contest by my non-scientific count. I saw F-bombs hurled at those who chose mic'd and slaps threatened toward people who chose miked. This is clearly a serious matter!

I also saw a few votes for mic’ed.  Miced, however, is universally frowned upon unless the subject in question has been pelted with rodents.

In the end, at the risk of getting slapped, I went with the only version legitimized by dictionary.com and merriam-webster.com. 😛

coworker asks "hey how are u" and I give them the casual "I'm alright, how are you" and they decide to be cheeky and give me the "just alright? Not excellent? Hahaha" and in my head my response is "I am on day four of my full time week, do you know how big the world is? It is vast and beautiful and that's because Hell is small. If damnation comes for us both it will be a cage" but what I tell them is "it's friday, Carl"

They do a bit - the biggest difference is between the "wild type" hares still used by nomads, and the "standard" stockier varieties you'll find in cities and towns. Standards have over time gotten shorter and more compact to work better as cart animals.

They are entirely black with red eyes. But try to tell someone haretouched this, and they'll insist they range an infinite number of colors, and that their eyes run a gamut from sparkling ruby red to deep scarlet. It's true that different pelts will shine different greens and blues in the light, but... the color naming can get almost fanatical.

Hares also can have some general individual differences like ear length, tail shape, snout length. To the layman though, they're hard to tell apart.

They're not bred for color. In fact, they're rarely bred for... many reasons. Hares have a long lifespan (longer than humans, sometimes...) and a haretouched human will usually only bond to one hare in their lifetime. They are difficult to breed too-- they get aggressive.

Hares are not purposefully bred in nomadic society. (You just go find one on the tundra, or sometimes a doe comes back pregnant.) In the settled north, they're bred only when too many cart hares have died in mining accidents or the like.

Still, if they were capable of coming in colors other than black, it seems like it would have happened by now.

...There are some old nothern legends about a snow white hare who only appears to those the "most cursed", but they're half-forgotten oral traditions at this point.

Due to some unfortunate technical difficulties I am sad to say that there will likely not be any WWSMP content from me for a little while :((

I’ve had a lot of issues editing the C.W POVs and at the stage I don’t know when/if I’ll be able to salvage the files.

There will also be a delay on the last handful of Virgil POVs for Skybound SMP, as I’m entering my finals period in university, and will be preoccupied for the next few weeks.
