flourish asked: ahhh you had the olive green shirt when your parents wouldn't buy Abercrombie too?! I thought I was the only one who tried to resort to that (totally pathetic and not-workable) little subterfuge!
Yep. YEP. Olive green, burnt orange and maroon. On the (really dimly) bright side, I guess there are worse colors for my skin tone?
Hansi Oppenheimer’s making a documentary about fanfiction. I’m one of her interviewees! If you think this project sounds awesome (which it is) help her get to Ascendio and do interviews there by donating to the project! (It’s on IndieGoGo, which is like Kickstarter.)
My friend Fox (Fox Estacado Arts) is selling these gorgeous Sherlock and Harry Potter fanart decorated pouches at the Whimsic Alley Craft Faire on May 26 to May 27 in Los Angeles, CA ($15 - $25) . Wish I could go. Her work is just luminous. I’m hoping she’ll start doing some BBC Sherlock stuff soon.

Scully: One day, you’ll ask me to speak of a truth - of the miracle of your birth. To explain what is unexplained. And if I falter or fail on this day, know there is an answer, my child, a sacred imperishable truth, but one you may never hope to find alone. Chance meeting your perfect other, your perfect opposite - your protector and endangeror. Chance embarking with this other on the greatest of journeys - a search for truths fugitive and imponderable. If one day this chance may befall you, my son, do not fail or falter to seize it. The truths are out there. And if one day you should behold a miracle, as I have in you, you will learn the truth is not found in science, or on some unseen plane, but by looking into your own heart. And in that moment you will be blessed - and stricken. For the truest truths are what hold us together, or keep us painfully, desperately apart.
X-files voiceovers were the worst. Am I right or am I right?
I still secretly love most of them though—especially the schmoopy ones.

OK, so it’s a cruddy camera version of the blu-ray deleted scene where Mulder & Scully actually kiss in Fight the Future, but I had never seen this before because my X-files fandom has been dormant and if I had seen this at the time the movie came out I might have exploded and frankly I might be about to explode right now.
There is a clear version of this kiss, HERE
1:10 JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL AND THE TONGUES
And people who know how to make gifs, should definitly make gifs of this video, just sayin’
Ahh, I can’t get over the music on that video—have to watch it with the sound off. O_O
…which is why gif makers go, I need all the gifs now

Oh Jeez. Gillian, I know this was almost certainly not your fault, and you’re workin’ it as hard as you can, but… what stylist ever thought this was a good idea??

I am no man! Easily the most badass moment of the Return of the King.
However, technically Merry isn’t a man either. He’s a male hobbit. Eowyn is a female of the race of Men…so apparently the Nazgul care about gender not species???
Always confused me.
No, they care about species. Most of the people fighting at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields were Men, except Legolas (the Dead that Aragorn brings with him were Men, too). So the Witch-King might well have not expected any non-Men to be there. (Note that he wasn’t fighting up North, where the Elves were a significant part of the battle.) And Merry strikes an all-important blow—a blow which a Man would not have been able to strike (in my reading).
This is the fragmented way I say ‘potatoes’ now. Thanks a lot, Sam!
Please please please tag your gifs as such. I love the show and its action sequences too, but fast-moving gifs can be dizziness/headache-inducing for me, and it is really helpful to have those tags so I can tumblr savior if I’m having a Sensitive Eyes Day. To say…
As someone who’s just recently gotten back into tumblr, this is a helpful reminder! Thank you.
Esquire Publishing Men’s Fiction E-Books - NYTimes.com
“His definition of men’s fiction? Work that is ‘plot-driven and exciting, where one thing happens after another,’ he said. ‘And also at the same time,…
Yes—and also then even genuinely plot-driven novels (like Pride and Prejudice, every Harlequin romance ever…) don’t get counted as plot-driven because LADIES + ROMANCE. Whereas people think that Cormac McCarthy is plot-driven even though… um… dudes, have you read him? Because DUDES and COWBOYS.
But I don’t think it is just LADIES + ROMANCE, actually. I think it’s that “people talking to each other and making decisions” does not mean PLOT for many, many people.
Remember back in HP days, people would talk about whether or not a fanfic had a “plot”? What they always meant was, did it have an action/adventure plot—did it include either how to defeat Tommy, or whatever new threat the writer made up. And those fics were (often very self-consciously) praised more than fics that “have no plot”, meaning, they only had a romance plot. People said this all the time. It’s one of the reasons I’ve always said that I have never, to this day, actually written anything with a plot, because I’ve never written a story driven by some kind of good vs. evil.
And then you get people who read something like P&P and say of it, quite seriously, that nothing happens. Some people go and stay at some other people’s houses. Some conversations happen. Someone runs away with some dude. Someone else gets married. That’s why there’s “space” in the story for a dumb zombie plot. People say this about independent films all the time as well.
So it isn’t that those DUDES and COWBOYS do that much, but when they do get around to doing something, they do something that people recognize as a thing to be done, if that makes any sense.
Shooting people = plot
Undergoing internal growth and changing your live accordingly != plot.
Maybe so. And THAT is super depressing—way more depressing than sexism!—so THANKS CLIO. :P
