love browser trends of chrome saying "hey! what if we add this really insecure, arbitrary, and downright dangerous API?", firefox responding "...no thanks" and developers who refuse to even touch native software withering in pain as they can't natively use their particle accelerator in the browser without a wrapper

“The Daffy Duck Program” a “could have been” primetime show for The WB circa 1997, was conceived by Paul Rugg and John P. McCann. So much fun working with them, Doug Langdale and Tony Cervone on this ill-fated gem. Sometimes you can only replay the great ones in your head.

Hi! rewatching T&S videos I realized that Scott's "way to go" for lifts was (most of the time) with a position of spread legs kind of squat. Why do you think so? Do you like it? Or do you wish he tried something different?
the number of ways you can move on or across the ice is limited by the nature of skates, so you tend to see positions repeated. squats and lunges are common because they're stable bases. of the 4 types of lifts - rotational - VM did these more than any other, like most teams, stationary lifts (which they did rarely) - curve lifts and straight line lifts are where you would see the man in a squat position, and i think you're talking about the besti squat, where there's a 90° bend to the knees
straight line lift, and ⬇️ curve lift
Scott's an amazing lifter - he has great turnout, beautiful positions, keeps his incredible carriage (like look at his upper body in the MR lift), and his skating skills and general good compass on the ice make him very stable, which enable them to do some exceptional lifts - acrobatic, difficult, creative lifts. they did repeat them at times, but over the span of their career, they did a large variety. so a squat is a "way to go" because it allows Tessa to do many different things above. and in some of their most iconic lifts he's in that besti squat, so it might be memorable. but it's only one of a number of go-to's

i enjoy a good picrew like any normal person but i just discovered Hero Forge and i am overwhelmed with the possibilities
i know this probably isn't gonna get much attention but I'd absolutely love to see all y'all's whumpees and whumpers and caretakers in that style
I'll start with my whumpee Elenor, who just got dragged back to whumper after a failed escape attempt <3
And some others I made today because I'm really excited and have to show someone :)
(and yeah, the website takes a good minute or two to fully load, at least on my phone, so just have patience there)

Could you tell us about all the wips you have planned cus I can't keep track anymore 👀
omg i'm so so sorry i really do talk about a bunch don't i? i've always got a bunch of fics going at once so no matter what i feel like writing i have something i can jump into... which must make keeping track a nightmare. so yes! let me recap for you:
in no particular order we have:
shirt-sharing fic: this one keeps changing (and taking longer to write than i wanted lol) but essentially the bare bones idea is matty borrows a shirt from george before a interview with the whole band and it Doesn't Go Unnoticed.
new parents fic: a brief glimpse/collection of glimpses into the life & times of new parents george and matty!
the "if i believe you" fic: based on a line in a poem: "God did a very good job with you." it's in the country recording studio/abiior-era and matty just has a lot of thoughts about how God makes good things-- of course He does-- but he, himself, is not one of those things. but george is. george is divine, matty just is. (very prose/internal monologue heavy and i'm loving writing it tbh.)
non-famous!matty fic: george, ross, and adam are still (a version of) the 1975. waughy has this really nice officemate at the uni he's teaching at that's a TA/PhD candidate for the lit dept. george has to pick waughy up for rehearsal one day and the rest is history... we just get to see matty being The Biggest Fan of the 1975 and also, entirely by coincidence, being bespectacled and having hot takes on books (that i'm reading...)
the gatty ft. raughy fic: matty is apparently the last person to know that two of his closest friends/bandmates are dating and he's confused that 1. he missed it completely 2. everyone else (including his own husband) seemed to know but him and 3. they let him just Be That Oblivious for years. he starts paying closer attention and enjoys seeing his friends happy (with the correct context now)
camera roll collection: basically i found a bunch of candids (taken by the band/jordan) of matty and/or george and said, context be damned, i'm using this as a photo prompt like i'm in middle school and this is a timed essay. first picture is this 2019 pic of matty at the airport.
the hours of the left behind part ii: this fic was originally intended to be a standalone of the hours right after george drops matty off to fly to barbados. but now part ii is when george picks him up and tries to help matty readjust to being home. but also matty begins to sees how george was while he was away (having put on a brave smile every time matty called).
(be my) god and country ch 3/epilogue: not sure how i want to expand this universe bc i really love the foundations that fic has for timelines/ideas on certain aspects of their relationship that i want to keep returning to and building on (and not rewriting again and again lol) BUT i have ideas for a honeymoon maybe, a wintering-type fic where they go home for christmas, they talk about having kids... it's a whole world of possibilities!! open to suggestions...
