GPTim would really like the Thrilling Adventure Hour/Welcome to Night Vale crossover, well, up until Croach fixes things. But the NV citizens hate the moon *so* much that they make it disappear, but not in their time in the future. So there’s moon destroying and time travel.

On a related note: Aurora would *hate* the TAH/WtNV crossover since the NV citiz-

In celebration of the 7-year anniversary I went back through my CR tag. Here’s 25 of my own favourite personal tags, with very little to no context, in no particular order:

#goodbye Vox Machina #you will be mist #(for 8 hrs at a time with a flight speed of 300 ft)

#I like how half of the Nein is basically a book club #and the other half values libraries almost as much as that rotten manticore head of theirs #and Beau is somehow both

#I have no idea why I love this character so much #but I'd probably transform into a goldfish and jump from a cliff for him

#Matt in Fun Buns questioning the logic of the story gives me life

#the fact that Sam's shirt says 'logic' makes this even funnier

#Wil Wheaton going through the five stages of grief and then some more

#Artagan from under the giant plastic cup Melora caught him under #planning to release him in the backyard later #'see you guys? we AREN'T that different!'

#nothing will teach you about magic like getting assaulted by polymorphed turtles amiright

#this is a weird ship to take away from the final episode #but I sure as fuck did lol

#dicks out for Traveler Con

#it's so beautiful I'm gonna cry #can't wait for Raishan to crack open that pretty white wall with her dirty lil' claws

#I will fucking climb into my screen like Laudna could never and single-handedly kill all of the others

#I'm just saying #Eshteross fucked either Delilah Briarwood or Anna Ripley

#has there been anything more savage in CR history than Taryon Darrington's existence #I personally think not

#whenever Kima is doing a Thing #some part of me keeps helpfully providing AC/DC guitar riffs

#Sam Riegel was like #how can I call out VM for all of their combined flaws #and then call them out AGAIN but with fairy glitter sprinkled on top

#I'm so unnecessarily attracted to Fjord while he's threatening Caleb and Nott

#I aspire to have the same energy in life as Ashley Johnson while shouting 'GAG ME WITH A SPOON MRS HENDERSON'

#I feel like 80% of Beau's character concept is just #*Teenage Dirtbag playing in the background*

#there needs to be more cuddling #the last time people cuddled in this campaign #it was Nott and Caleb sleeping in a cellar with a skeleton

#don't @ me unless the physically weaker half of your otp has pulled the stronger one in full plate armour out of the fucking ocean #while holding on to someone on a flying broom

#if I am sure of one thing #it is that no PC or NPC #god or DM or otherwise #is ever going to get the Chaotic Good out of Travis Willingham

#*puts up a sign that says* #'it's been 121 episodes since the last cliff dive incident' #with 121 crossed out and 0 written above it

#anyway I wish Vilya of the Air Ashari and only Vilya a good morning afternoon and evening

#this is not a spoiler this is desperation on my part

Marvel Girl: Every Dwell-Motion Costume Ranked From Worst To Best

Read on to seek out out which actress wore the best Surprise Woman costume. Next yr a model new Surprise Woman film is being launched and it options yet another new costume. Since her first look in 1941 Diana Prince, aka Marvel Lady, has appeared in dozens of reside-motion films and Television reveals. Some costumes have been great. Some have been terrible. Read on to seek out out the perfect and worst live-motion Marvel Lady costumes of all time. In 1967, a pilot was partially filmed for a Surprise Woman show. The episode was referred to as "Who’s Afraid of Diana Prince?". The show was presupposed to capture the campy really feel of the popular "Batman" show starring Adam West. Diana was performed by Ellie Wooden Walker ("Easy Rider") and has powers from the Greek gods. However she suffers from delusion. When she appears in the mirror she thinks that she's a ravishing woman in her Surprise Woman costume played by Linda Harrison (Planet of the Apes) in the mirror. It has an unwell-fitting skirt, top and pathetic tiara.

It is from an unproduced pilot so it most likely would not signify what the ultimate costume would look like but it is a poorly designed and deliberately goofy disaster. It isn't just women dressing as Marvel Lady. Within the season three episode "The Wheaton Recurrence", Sheldon (Jim Parsons) loses a bowling game to Wil Wheaton and his group. He has to gown up as Wonder Lady and show up at the comedian guide store. Moreover the truth that it is a dude the costume itself is terrible. Baggy and sick-fitting. It is most likely intentional although. This made-for-tv film solid Wonder Girl as a global troubleshooter. The designer Kerry Herron had additionally labored on "The Bionic Lady", the "Dr. Unusual" Television-movie, and "Blade Runner". The costume ditches the tiara and bikini. Instead, it features a star-spangled pants go well with with knee-excessive boots. Within the age of feminism, it was a conscious move away from the costume some considered misogynistic. But the 12 months before the primary subject of "Ms" journal featured the superhero on its cowl with the caption Surprise Lady for president.

It cemented her place as a feminist icon. If you enjoyed this information and you would such as to receive more info relating to superheroine costume for women kindly go to the site. The film was much less acquired and received dismal scores. This time Penny wears the iconic uniform. Within the season four episode "The Justice League Recombination" the group is headed to the local comic e book shop to compete in the brand new 12 months's Eve costume contest. Penny has to fill in as Marvel Lady to complete the group when Amy and Bernadette drop out. It is clearly alleged to be a fan made costume and is very simple. It has all the basic necessities of a costume but is fairly boring. Erica Durance played young Lois Lane within the prequel tv collection "Smallville". In episode "Warrior", Lois goes to the Metropolis WonderCon sporting a costume clearly impressed by the Amazonian warrior. Durance wears a Grecian outfit with bracelets, lasso, and tiara. Although Marvel Lady wasn't established as a hero in that world so they kind of fudged it. It's a strong look and Durance really makes it work.

However it's a little too busy and would not have the iconic eagle on the chest. Durance got to wear the costume once more in a brief-lived comedy legal show. Durance guest-starred within the episode "Gorilla My Goals" as Annie Billson. She's a vigilante who likes to gown up in a Wonder Girl costume to battle domestic abuse. It is pretty faithful by way of colours and magnificence. It has the eagle on the chest and the tiara. The most notable change is she's wearing pants as a substitute of a skirt or bikini backside. This matches the type of the nineties when her costume went by means of a drastic redesign due to Jim Lee And Adam Hughes. Since Billson is not supposed to be a seamstress it intentionally seems to be like an off-the-shelf Marvel Girl costume. But it's an excellent one. Within the early a part of this decade, WB produced a pilot for a planned Marvel Woman Tv series. Adrianne Palicki performs Surprise Girl as a savvy businesswoman with no secret identity. It reflects a extra trendy take on the character and her costume matches that style.

How to Succeed in Fangirling Without Really Trying

[Insert nervous laughter here]

I guess we should start with the basics like introductions and the more important things you need to know about me. Hi, my name is Grey. I am a person of the adult-ish variety who is, more importantly, a fangirl. Very soon, I will be graduating from college with a degree in history. And yes, just history. And no, I do not want to be a teacher. (This is important to the overall narrative I’m trying to create here, but we’ll get to that later.) I am a Hufflepuff and I take almost as much pride in that fact as I do about my remarkable ability to eat and drive at the same time (my friends might say otherwise, but they’re lying to you). My idea of a “lit” night is when the light radiates from my Netflix account. I love a good book and a bottle of dry, red wine. Preferably together. If there is one other thing I know for sure about myself at the ripe age of “almost-22,” it’s that being a fangirl is all I really know how to do. Maybe through this blog, I can take people on a journey they can relate to. Maybe if I share my story, it can help someone else who is out there feeling the way I’m feeling. Maybe they’ll even start a blog. It’s what I did.

To kick off this shindig, there is a little bit more you need to know about me. Like where and how my story starts. From a young age I was encouraged to be the best I could be. Not the best out of everyone, but my parents knew what I was capable of and they wanted me to do well for me, not anyone else. However, I was an awkward kid. No matter what my parents say. Isn’t everyone? Throughout my K-12 education, I somehow managed to stick myself right in the middle of the herd. I guess the more appropriate description would be “average.” I played one sport in my four years of high school, so I was not jock material. I was in choir, but not a soloist. I was in the musical, but felt more comfortable being part of the stage crew. I spent most of my lunches in my school’s library. The average high school student will experience some form of bullying and I was no exception. Not to the extent that others were, but it was enough to scar me so that my goal for that part of my education was just to get through it with as few waves as possible. So, I adapted and figured out that being stuck in the middle of everything is what made me happy. I didn’t want to be the center of attention. That would’ve been my worst nightmare. I hated myself back then and I had already given people enough of a chance to hate me in my earlier years. It might not have been bad, but it was enough.

I, also, might not be able to remember all the details, but I can pinpoint the moment I knew I was a fangirl. I was in 6th grade and I held in my meaty little hands a copy of The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. I read the opening part of the first chapter entitled “I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher” and it is, to this day, the closest thing I can equate to finding myself. Tiny little me, reading a book about a kid not much older than her who feels it in every fiber of his bones that he is different and can’t do a damn thing about it at that moment, it just felt like coming home. I inhaled the words on those pages. I injected them into my bloodstream once every month. No other book could ever compare as I reread it over and over and over again. It was Wonderland and I was Alice, falling, falling, falling down the rabbit hole and but with no intention of ever stopping the free fall. And as I grew older and wiser, and my tastes expanded, I started to realize that I had always been like that. Disney movies were (still are) the pinnacle of my movie tastes. I wouldn’t watch anything other than animated movies until I was well over the age of 12. My mom begged me to play outside as a kid when all I wanted to do was sit down and watch Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, or the Disney Channel. Percy Jackson and his journey finally put it all into perspective for me. And I’m still spiraling. I started to consume knowledge about Greek Mythology more than my studies. I read anything fantasy based that I could get my hands on. Harry Potter, Fablehaven, Peter and the Star Catchers, Oh. My. Gods., House of Night, the list is as endless as it is ongoing. As I grew, my tastes expanded. I got into anime, sci-fi, comics, crime, true crime, literally anything that took me away from the normal life I was leading. What I wanted more than anything in the world was to be there.

All of these things carried me through my high school career, but not in the way I was expecting. I loved my stories, my otherworlds, more than I ever loved the real world, but it beckoned. Not so much like a siren’s song, more like the annoying alarm clock in the morning that you just perpetually want to turn off, but somehow end up hitting SNOOZE so it keeps waking you up every few minutes. High school was a time where the answer to the question “So, what do you want to be when you grow up?” was finally starting to be the most important question you could answer. I’ll give you three guesses as to what girl never, ever had the answer to that question and the first two don’t count… Yup, t’was me. I’m pretty sure every time someone asked me that, my answered changed. The only thing I really knew, at least at that point, was there were two things I loved. History and what I’ve come to now realize is my all-encompassing, heart-stopping, soul-crushing love for the creative process. Everything in this world that is created has a story that I need to know. I fawn over fan art just as much as Picasso or Van Gogh. I think fanfiction and their authors can sometimes be written better than the original. I have music on at all times during the day. If I am not reading, I am watching something. If I am not watching, then I am trying to hone my own creative processes. Everything about being a fangirl appeals me like a drug. Where bullying knocked me down, I bathed myself in fantasy and used it as my armor. When the only thing I wanted to do was just get through, my fandoms taught me how I should live. Whenever I felt like I wasn’t loved or good enough or whatever enough, somehow, some way, fiction would wrap its arms around me, remind me that I was, and lift me up to carry me home.

Sounds like a wonderful thing to make a career out of, right? But if bullying had taught me anything, it was that I wasn't good enough. I was never going to be a content creator. It was always going to be my destiny to be a content consumer. I could never be J.K. Rowling, Chris Hardwick, Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day, Lin Manuel Miranda. If I could go back and tell my younger self anything, it wouldn’t be any of the clichés like ‘it gets better’ or ‘just stay strong.’ I’d tell that little punk to stick it to whoever told her that what was making her feel whole wasn’t worth making a life out of. I would tell my younger self to be brave enough to prove them all wrong. I was constantly told that I could not make a sustainable career out what I loved.  So, I did what I do best and adapted. History was the only other thing I really loved. It was the real stories, the non-fiction that inspires fiction. If I couldn’t create the stories, I would learn everyone else’s. That would surely solve that problem? It’d be a good enough substitute, right?

While I love history, it was like going from Ferrari to a Honda. The Honda will most definitely get you from Point A to Point B, but more so because you can’t afford a Ferrari in the first place. Which kind of brings me to where I am now and the whole reason I started this blog in the first place. Here’s me, about to graduate college with a degree in a field I love (even though it doesn’t sound like it) feeling like I’m doing nothing more than staring into a deep, vast, dark thing called The Void of Adulthood when the only thing I really want to do is take a nap. Or curl up with a good book or a new TV show. Forget the horror genre, adulthood, or the precipice of it, is the scariest shit I have ever encountered. And I am looking at this Void, wanting to take a ForeverNap™️,  neck deep in a big-girl-full-time job search, wearing a Captain America shirt, Prisoner of Azkaban clutched in one hand, sonic screwdriver in the other, screaming my throat raw about how I am just not ready.

But getting back to the present. I mentioned that my degree in history would somehow be important to the overall narrative I’m trying to weave here. This is why. It goes back to being too scared to do what I really wanted to do. While I love history, it just doesn’t compare to the other thing. But, I was also too scared by real life to ever do anything to change it. I was too scared to tell everyone: “DAMN THE CONSEQUENCES AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR COLLECTIVE ASSES, I’M GOING TO DO THIS.” I never wanted to shake it up, challenge the status quo, and now I’m kicking myself for it. History was a safety net I didn’t realize was there until it was too late. All this suddenly came into perspective because I found my dream job. Given the chance, it would be one that I would be really, really good at… but I can’t get it. I don’t have a degree in a relevant field, I don’t have the job experience. I’m not prepared. And it sucks royal hippogriff.

And that, dear readers who have stuck with me all the way to this point, is why I am here. I started this blog to finally break out of my shell. I am no longer content with being a consumer. I want to be a creator. I want to contribute to the discussions. I want to write things that matter and that people can relate to. I want to be fully qualified. If writing this blog and finally, finally being able to contribute something to the worlds that have loved me when I thought no one else did is the only way I can give back and get experience, then so be it. If it is the only way I can be apart of the things I love right now, then I’m going to do it. This is how I stick it to those people who told me I couldn’t. This is how I throw it back in the faces of people who tore me down. I hope that I can take people along this journey with me. I have some fun things planned. And if there are people out there who are listening to the voices of negativity in whatever forms they take, I hope I can help you realize that you are strong enough to face those demons and win. I hope that together we can find a way to forge our own paths. I don’t want anyone to ever feel like I felt. No one deserves to feel like that.

Hi again, I’m Grey. Welcome home. Here, you will always be encouraged. Here, I promise to help you in whatever way I can. Here, you are safe. And here, above all, you are seen and you are loved.
