I made a playlist for one of my fanfics for the very first time, just for fun, and it's amazing how it actually helps me to get into headspace for writing this story. I listen to the songs and automatically think of scenes and pivotal moments.

Thinking of trying it out with the other fanfics of mine too, although some of them would be more difficult to choose songs for, since they have less obvious theme.

Are Hamsters Omnivores? The Truth Unveiled!

Hamsters are little, cute pets that have dazzled the hearts of many. On the off chance that you're a hamster proprietor or considering getting one, understanding their dietary requirements and preferences is fundamental. One normal inquiry that emerges is whether hamsters are omnivores. In this article, we will investigate the eating regimen of hamsters, and their stomach-related framework, and shed light on their omnivorous way of behaving.

it's kind of funny that we're back at the start, as it was known from the very beginning, as the story always was, the old lore: "the Divine Gate was built in response to the destruction and suffering of the Calamity as the Prime Deities realized was far too much and, as such, they needed to also remove themselves from Exandria to protect it from the ruin that the gods dwelling here brings"

Listen, i get why people see wolfwood as a monsterfucker. After all vash occasionally melts into a biblicaly accurate abomination and all that but...

Wolfwood decidedly is not a monsterfucker

That's like half the problem. If he were, it would be so so much easier on him

Wolfwood isn't a case of "oh fuck i wanna screw that six ways to sunday" (excited, very horny for vash's body horror)

Wolfwood is clearly a case of "oh fuck i wanna screw that six ways to sunday" (horrifyed, very much not into the body horror but realizing he still wants to bang vash anyway.)

Like not sure if this would constitute a sexual identity crisis but it sure is a crisis of some kind

In canon, regardless of if you read them as platonic or romantic, wolfwood grows to love, trust and deeply care for vash but it doesnt ever quite overwrite the instinctual fear of all the fucked up shit vash has going on

The Erik Revelation ™

It's a stroke of genius, having us find out about Erik's homophobic, bullying activities at Hillerska at the same time as Wille does. The collective vision of Supportive Erik has been ground to dust for the fandom alongside it happening for Wille. It's a small taste of what it feels like for him.

The entirety of s3 e5 is Wille working through the shock of Erik being part of the fakeness of everything. His last shining beacon of truth, the one good thing about his family, the only reason to keep being part of it.

"My brother was kind and considerate.

He was my role model.

And I will honour his legacy to be a Crown Prince my family will be proud of."

shattered by:

"Erik was there".

Just noticed that in the new Metal Hammer mag it's actually two different types of snakes! First photo's snake is a Boa (Siam) and the second is a massive ball python!

Edit: The ball phython's name is Cleo! Thank you to @moonchild-in-blue for providing that in their reblog. I looked around for it earlier but couldn't find anything, so I left her nameless; glad she isn't so

“Oh look at that! A short little video essay on YouTube about a movie I liked as a kid! Maybe I should watch that movie again…”

*15 hours later*

“What do you mean that there’s a spiritual successor to Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons and it’s mostly goth/nerdy tweens from 2000s-era experimental Disney movies?!”

as an aroace person, i cannot tell you how immeasurably wonderful it feels to see canon ace alastor in the show. yes, i know it’s a one-off sentence of dialogue, but that’s so much more than other ace characters get. after waiting so many years and not wanting to get my hopes up because i’ve been let down before, i love this feeling of just like, yeah. we made it.

it’s not a lot right now but it doesn’t need to be. it’s there. in dialogue, on the screen. there’s so many places it could go in later seasons, and for now i’m just happy. i’m happy that this character i love so much is just like me. idk. representation matters

Lifesaver

A cool story from the World Enders website ...

A Lord Huron fan who posts on the site under the name Anne-Sophie was at LH's recent show in Paris. Noodling around on Twitter the next day, she found a photo of the concert posted on Rock UR Life, a music "webzine" based in France.

There she was, unmistakably, in the front row.

She wrote: "You can see me in that photo, with my sign ... having my best life."

I enlarged the photo as well as I could. I think the sign says: "U SAVED MY LIFE." There must be a story there.

(Note to readers: Obviously I've been dealng with hackers lately. I try to delete the fake posts as quickly as I can, but they show up faster than I can take them down. Contrary to what the hack says, I have no "personal fan page," etc., etc. ... I'm sure most of you can spot the fakes.)

i love alien (1979). i love a science fiction movie that's actually interested in science. there are small things, like, the planet not having earth's atmosphere. and most obviously, the alien having a lifecycle that's not just a repaint of the human lifecycle is a so refreshing. most media not only makes aliens and other worldly creatures have our specific biologic lifecycle, they'll also have our culture's very specific gender stereotypes (looking at you DCAU).

it doesn't immediately break it for me, but it's hard making the same suspension of disbelieve again and again and again, no matter how realistic a sci-fi movie tries to be, especially when the alternative and options are endless and potentially much more interesting.

and i feel like that's the thing with a lot of bad media striving for "realism". it takes the story elements and troupes and assumptions that it feels is unrealistic, but doesn't actually replace it with reality, just it's own equally wrong, just not as common, assumptions, troupes, etc. alien is actually interested in how science can be applied to fiction to tell a story that feels otherworldly but still grounded.

also, we love a quarantine queen!
