Anonymous asked: are you planning to go see 'the beatles: the lost concert' film?
I was not aware that this was a thing that was happening. I live under a rock. Ultimately probably not - I don’t tend to go see things in theatres. If it wanders across my netflix instant stream I might check it out.
My name would be the same, but I’d be married to Ellen Page.
Fuck yeah.
I’d be married to Rainbow Dash.
His wife? A horse.
my name would remain the same but our ectobiological offspring would be the glorious cruisecontrol-pyropes
Uh, my background is a picture of martian sand dunes, I’m not sure how that would work out, unless we’re talking a ‘married to your kingdom’ sort of thing.
I marry Deep Space Nine! what
I WOULD MARRY GLaDOS
and suddenly my day got a lot better.
My background is a monkey riding a bull.
Myself and Hannah
hm
Kerri C? XD
um
it’s a squirrel
i’d be married to damask pattern
ok cool
Both Jim Moriarty and Michael Fassbender as Sebastian Moran. Sometimes dreams do come true.
Lucienne Mormor is probably my real name anyway.
WILLIAM WESTWOOD.
Jacki… Amaterasu?
Or would that be Jacki Okami? WAT

Joss Whedon’s Equality Now speech (by TheHey)
I’ve blogged this before and maybe you’ve watched it, but I’ve been spending a lot of time lately (ever since someone described me by saying “she’s really hot, but she’s a feminist”) thinking about how I see myself, how I’m perceived and how I’ve become so interested in how women are treated. It’s something that can completely pass you by if you don’t pay attention to it. If you watch popular movies and music videos and never question the things presented to you. If you think ‘I believe in equality, but I’m not a feminist’ is an acceptable attitude.
I never expected have the label stickered on my forehead, but I guess it is. You couldn’t have said it about me a few years back. Maybe it was comics, or the internet, but part of me still sort of believes it was Buffy.
I grew up with this show and I loved it like nothing before or since. I always thought that Willow was my favourite character, what with the lesbianism and quirky nerdiness, but I relate more and more to Buffy as I get older. She was such an amazing protagonist. Buffy was strong, independent, willful and brash. She was faulted, she had terrible luck with men, she was a bit flaky. She was also a warrior, but she wasn’t just a girl playing a man’s role. She wasn’t Tomb Raider. She didn’t fight in her underwear. I remember so strongly an episode in which she’s wearing this long dress and rips it into a miniskirt - but not to be sexy, just to be able to kick harder and move more freely. I loved that even when I was too young to understand why.
Joss created these women from a place of love, respect and total devotion. Yes, Buffy’s a dorky show about vampires and monsters, but it also gave me the best role model I could have possibly asked for.
THIS.
Couldn’t agree more, with the video and the inestimable Kate Leth’s thoughts on Whedon and his characters. As another who hold’s Buffy somewhat responsible for her feminism, I salute you, Mister Whedon, and your brilliant characters.
(also you guys should follow Kate because her writing is always this awesome and her comics are fucking ah-dor-able and amazing).
- Backpack loaded up with bikelock, dayplanner, wallet, other essentials and sitting on a kitchen chair
- Plastic bag containing (healthyish) chips and cookie snacks and an apple on the kitchen counter
- One sandwich, packed and waiting in the fridge next to a tupperware of celery and a second tupperware of carrot soup
- iPod loaded up with podcasts from Nerdist, Rooster Teeth, My brother my brother and me, Radiolab, and Throwing Shade
- a few loose dollars in my wallet to get my ‘hey it’s monday, treat yourself’ bagel from brueggers (or if I’m feeling good, a tasty muffin from ze CoffeeHaus)
- Fancy verk clothes, hanging up in the bathroom to dress into straight after the morning shower
- Bike, sitting by the door with full tires and helmet hanging off the handlebar
This rigorous preparation procedure ritual of my evenings is the reason why I can wake up to the alarm at 7:15 AM and be strolling into the office just a bit before 7:45 every morning (or on days when I can get away with coming in later, 8 AM to 8:30). Takes a little extra time, but I can steal a few more winks and thus somewhat preserve a portion of my sanity.
Monday’d better bring it, ‘cause I’m gonna punch it in the FACE. BAM. /pumped
| Jeff: | I saw boobs. |
| Me: | It's my tumblr feed, it's not surprising that there are boobs. |
lostwithoutmyconsultingdetective:
1) George Smiley (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (the novel because I am currently reading it and I haven’t seen the movie yet but Gary Oldman still comes to mind))
2) Sherlock Holmes (BBC Sherlock)
3) Thor (Thor)
So I get two great minds and a demigod? Oh I think we would survive quite nicely so long as none of them fight each other.
1) Harry Potter (since pottermore counts I guess)
2) Shepard from Mass Effect 2 (femshep)
3) Um… Jon Stewart? I guess he’s the protagonist of the Daily Show
If it’s book 7 harry, I got this. If not… well, hopefully Shep will just destroy all the zombies and the rest of us can cower behind a barricade. >.> <.<
