love 2nd doctor era. black and white half the episodes are missing every single alien is a cardboard halloween suit. levels of weird old man weird young guy yaoi OFF the charts. previous to this the only tv guys named jamie that i knew were a) lannister (has never been seen in a kilt. sisterfucker. brienne obsesser. knight classic=jock who kills you and has an unctious voice about it. compelling but not a part of this conversation) and b) fraser from outlander (worse legs. worse attitude. worse all round. possibly POSSIBLY more historically accurate but whats the point when i couldnt even get through a full season of his show without being too annoyed by him. interestingly enough they both survive the battle of culloden via convoluted time travel hijinks and HEY WAIT. FUCK. DIANA GABABALDON . STOP RIGHT THERE. EXPLAIN TO ME WHETHER YOUR TIME TRAVEL HISTORICAL ROMANCE SOAP OPERA DOORSTOPPERS . ARE SOME KIND OF DEEPLY FILED DOWN FAN FICTION OR NOT.

I think one of the biggest reasons I enjoy jjba is because I envy this level of confidence and sincerity in storytelling. See, I would not have just said something as fucking stupid as "bullet-deflecting oil." I would've come up with some kind of Watsonian bullshit magic-science explanation that at least squared with the logic of the story instead of just saying "Oh, it's an oil that deflects bullets" and moving on to the next thing. But that is not because I am a better storyteller, no, quite the opposite. It's because I'm a coward.

Architecture is one of those fields that’s perpetually on the border of “You’re all full of shit” to me. This is an NYC office building that was built in 1977:

Apparently that little circular doohickey up top was, at the time, a revolutionary departure from modern design principles and had every prominent architect at the time absolutely furious for that reason. 46 years on and it’s seen as an architectural treasure that made the NYC Landmark list.

It’s. A circle. Literally just a circle. I don’t get it.

Someone has written Ethan Frome fic where the Other Woman is. A Minion. Yeah. Like from Despicable Me.

I am morbidly fascinated. I think I am going to read this.

It sounds more interesting than reading Ethan Frome

want to see a take on the greek gods that’s focused on like. all the olympians are complete whackadoodles because. zeus grew up in isolation on a hidden island with a centaur, training to kill his father.

and all his siblings grew up in their father’s stomach.

and then once they got out they leapt right into a war! there’s no way these people should be remotely well-adjusted! their formative life experiences were utterly whack!

poseidon hates closed-in spaces because Stomach. hades is agoraphobic for the same reason. (because people can have wildly different responses to the same trauma.) zeus doesn’t like being in small or dark or wet spaces because he was never swallowed but he sure grew up aware of the possibility.

(or if you want to be fucked up swap poseidon and hades’ issues and watch them lose their minds, since their jobs were supposedly determined by drawing lots, but hades is kinda noted for his stability so i doubt he hates being underground. the lots were fixed, come on.)

zeus is the only one with anything remotely approaching social skills, due to not having grown up in a stomach, and everyone in his family thinks he’s really smooth but in fact he is zeus.
