People are posting “You won’t see screamers on this blog” things for April Fools.

I will also not post obnoxious things for April Fools!

I don’t think it’s nice.

Also I won’t have electricity.

I’m getting my power turned off for April Fools.

(It’s not a joke).

(It’s a part of remodeling).

Officially joining the Safe April Fools movement, here.

(Also be told, errbody: if you post a screamer or assholeish April Fool’s joke, I will automatically unfollow you, no exceptions.)

*nod* This blog is a prank-free zone.

Things Odo should have done in DS9.

Don’t take this too seriously. It’s just a bit of fun!

#Star Trek #DS9 #yes this #they tried to pass off their insufficient special effects budget as saying something about him as a person #his unwillingness to make the most of his abilities #it may have been a necessary cop-out #but it was a cop-out

did you ever stop to think people are reading this sentence in different accents 

Tags:

#yes #yes I have #well not this sentence specifically #but I have wondered what my writing sounds like to my friends #particularly my British friends #(I think most of the ones with significantly different accents are British) #perhaps there are people reading this to whom it sounds like nothing at all #it is possible to lack a mind’s eye #(the obvious way is by being blind since before one’s earliest memories) #(but it is also possible to lack a mind’s eye while still having ordinary sight) #I expect it is also possible to lack a mind’s ear #accents #tag rambles #(the following category tag was added retroactively:) #is the blue I see the same as the blue you see

In all this talk about how great the Trek fandom is, I would like to just give a little shoutout to the Classic Who fandom, to which I do not belong in the sense that I haven’t consumed even a respectable fraction of the canon and can’t really participate in it but which cheers me up daily when its wacky, loving, creative, hilarious shit comes across my dash, and which seems like the same kind of kind and welcoming place that Trek fandom is, and which shares with Trek fandom the ability to laugh at its canon’s ridiculous campiness and be lovingly critical of its canon without getting its knickers in a twist, and which wins the award for Fandom That Has Most Made Me Want To Love The Thing It Loves because it loves it so well. Never change, Classic Who fandom.

. And, earlier this year, Brad Pitt acknowledged his face blindness.

Brad Pitt! If I ever met him, I’d love to swap some prosopagnosia war stories with him.

The trouble, of course, is that even if I saw him on the street, I wouldn’t recognize him.

Have We Met?- Mark Herrmann

My thoughts exactly, Mr. Herrmann.  My thoughts exactly.

whispering, “no,” at a character because you know they’re about to make a fool of themselves and kill you with second hand embarrassment

Tags:

#QFT #Castle #(reached 5×19 today in my first watching) #(breaking and entering to satisfy curiosity you shouldn’t have piqued in the first place: bad idea) #(I spent a lot of time hiding behind a pillow) #(come to think of it my ‘no’ was more of a whine than a whisper)

#hermione granger’s ruthlessness is so great though #like what an interesting flaw for your super smart overachiever bookworm character to have

#WORD #she’s SUPER SCARY and i love it#this photoset doesn’t even include like#turning a journalist into a beetle and keeping her captive#permanently disfiguring a fellow student for not holding up under pressure#erasing her parents’ identities without giving them any agency or choice

Tags:

#Harry Potter #yes this #I don’t think I really thought too hard about it for the first six books #but then she pulled a death-of-personality on her parents #that was when I became properly terrified of Hermione

Abigail’s Song is creepy after season 6.

When you’re alone, silence is all you know.
When you’re alone, silence is all you know
Let in the noise and let it grow.

When you’re alone, silence is all you see
When you’re alone, silence is all you’ll be
Give me your hand and come to me.

When you are here, music is all around.
When you are near, music is all around.
Open your eyes, don’t make a sound.

Let in the shadow, let in the shadow,
Let in the light of your bright shadow.

Let in the shadow, let in the shadow.
Let in the light of your bright shadow.

Let in the light.
Let in the light.
Let in the light of your sweet shadow.

When you’re alone, oh,
Silence is all you know.
Silence is all,
Silence is all around.
Silence is all
Silence is all around

But absolutely gorgeous.
