has there been a scene in a corny action movie where someone in court is like “i plead…… the second” and then pulls out a gun and wastes the judge

I imagined this as a McBain bit on The Simpsons

Never mind the “Who shot first?” stuff; THIS is the defining moment of the Han Solo character:

Everyone else was just like: “Oh, fuck: It’s Vader!” and standing around in shock and terror when Vader was revealed. Even Chewie.

Most people, I suspect, would have that reaction. 

Meanwhile, Han’s first reaction, instinctively, in less than a second, was to grab a gun and try to flat-out end the guy.

He failed, of course. But God Damn if you can’t appreciate the effort. 

Moments I love: Being distracted at just the right moment to miss the loop, so it looks like Vader pulls his gun and he just whips out another one and keeps shooting.

Which is really the only way this could be more Han.

#The Great Tumblr Apocalypse #now available in quarantined format for your convenience #the more you know

paintedlandscape asked: Wait, wait wait. What is this intriguing Publish to AO3 Google Doc? I write all my stuff in Google Drive, but I agonize through fixing the formatting when I paste it from there into AO3. Have I been missing something magical?

THIS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

So, on the AO3 “Cool Stuff” FAQ, there is a link to this document under “Posting and Managing Works.”

THIS IS THE BEST DOCUMENT IN ALL OF HISTORY. Basically, it has a script in it that has a “Post to AO3″ option and it will go in and fill in ALL the HTML you need – italics, bold, paragraph breaks, you name it!

It has directions in it for how to use it, but it’s real simple. You just always chose “Make a Copy” when you start writing to make a new document that you can then re-name. Change the language to American English (or whatever language you use) and type away. Then right before you post, click the button, get all the code in there, copy, paste, AND POST. 

It is literally so, so glorious and I want to tell everyone. 

(Also, the AO3 Cool FAQ page has some other cool stuff too!)

THIS IS THE GREATEST THING I HAVE FOUND SO FAR THIS CENTURY.

Very Happy Cookie Monster

Oh wow, I spent forever writing a Word macro to do this.  This would have been SO MUCH SIMPLER.
