MIKA ABDALLA as ALLIE HAYES OFF CAMPUS 01.08 'The Line Change'

[boybeetles]

Someone in Glasgow please go see this for me pls. I will be there in spirit 🙏

Brief report from the flute accompaniment:

It went well! At least 100 people attended, families dogs a solid portion of Glasgow's trans community. There was a really lovely atmosphere, nice weather and a very cheerful celebratory vibe.

After short speeches from the ballhaver and the large dyke (my wife), the ballhaver was given a chupa chup and blindfolded (execution style). The balls were then duly kicked; it made a surprisingly loud dull thumping sound. She fell to the ground to loud cheers and there was a moment of silence while Taps played on the flute. The large dyke wore solovair urban hikers.

Account from the Large Dyke.

Arrived early to find the crowd already gathering, so the kick got off to a prompt start. Following some introductions from everybody and some cheery folk music from our flautist (my wife!) we got on with the kick.

I think we got good contact, the top of my boot making a good solid noise on impact. Very good atmosphere all round, people stayed to chat for a while. Were it not January it would have been an excellent opportunity for a picnic.

10/10 queer event, would happily kick anybody in the balls in the name of community.

Account from the ball haver

7am: the pressure is getting to me; I wake up and drink half a bottle of diet iron bru from my bedside table; roll out of bed, and psych myself up in the mirror - "you can do this my little pogchamp" I say to myself over and over until I decend into a stupor.

8am: I play an hour of Okami on steam to replenish my chi levels

9am: I look at my balls for a while

10am: I spend 20 or so minutes trying to decide what to wear before realising it's the subartic in midwinter and I'm going to have to dress for -2C° regardless of what I choose and opt of my trusty black Schott thermal padded winter flight jacket and a pair of loose, warm Uniqlo trousers to give my testicles room to breathe.

11am: crashing out, texting my friends to arange a substitute kickee, an understudy, anybody so I can just become one with the crowd and not go through with it

12am: the homies have arrived, I'm drinking redbush tea in a small cafe by the park; god is in his heaven and all is right with the world

12.15: "you must be here to watch me get kicked in the balls?"

12.40: a circle emerges, from within the circle a palpable energy focuses like a lens down unto me and I feel like I'm gonna pee my pants a little

12.50: cheers begin, several complete families with dogs arrive - more friends appear and assort themselves into a gathering of 'real heads' ready to watch my groin be dessicated by the firm lace of a women for woman woman with a foot loosed through the gates of war as Augustus saw fit the dispatch and return of his troops from far corners through the blessings of Janus.

12.55: I think I left the stove on

1pm: Short introductions are made, grace is shown, beautiful flute music accompanies the gathering

1.03pm: what is left of my dignity disappears up my inguinal canal; I fall to the ground and languish a moment. I can feel it more in my lower chest than I can in my groin but the humour and adrenaline lift me and I'm laughing on my feet again soon. I kneel for the last post.

as a knitter, you start to notice how rare it is for characters in tv shows and movies to knit correctly. from worst to best, it ranges from:

- laughably incorrect, just flinging yarn around

- knitting the most basic scarf incredibly slowly because the actor Learned How To Do It For The Role

- old lady actresses casually knitting an intricate lace pattern while doing a monologue

- gromit from wallace and gromit

[justangrymacaroni]

1. that’s a garter stitch, which you can clearly see despite it being made of clay

2. they took the time to animate a modified continental style of knitting, including showing how his working yarn is wrapped around his pinky, and that he’s flicking with his index on his right hand

3. he only has four fingers and yet this is better than the vast majority of knitting on tv

This thread omg

Family doesn’t have to be blood related.

Sometimes family is a righteously angry little girl, her supportive brother, a random stranger with a thirst for chaos and justice, two foreign grandmas, and The Rest Of The Plane.

I don't think I'll finish this but I loved the dopey way the expressions came out, so enjoy this partially-completed work lol)

Understanding Attraction

Also on AO3 [300w] @foxquinweek - day 4 (alt): "I don’t know what the kriff true love even is but I do want to hang out with you for basically the rest of my life." @clonefandomevents - Coruscant Guard bingo: first love

Fox has never really understood what all the hype is about. He never developed a crush on any of the trainers, never formed a ‘special partnership’ with other vode. When they finally left Kamino, their gossip lines blew up with stories of new experiences, but even with the myriad of beings on Coruscant Fox still wasn’t interested.

Then he met Riyo Chuchi. It is her kindness that first draws his attention, quickly followed by her conviction. Now he brightens whenever he hears her voice, blushes at her smiles, longs to trace the golden arcs on her mauve cheeks with gentle fingers or reverent lips…

Then he met Quinlan Vos. It is his wit that first draws his attention, quickly followed by his competence. Now he brightens whenever he hears his voice, blushes at his grins, longs to trace the golden band on his dark cheeks with gentle fingers or reverent lips…

So apparently he has a thing for gold face tattoos. Who knew? Whatever, he’s come across weirder, and it’s not like it has to mean anything.

Except then… then he catches up with Bly. Bly, who is very proudly showing off his new cheek tattoos and how they match the yellow of his armour.

It’s not fair. Fox doesn’t want to be attracted to Bly. They grew up in the same training batch, brothers almost in the way natborns mean it. Couldn’t he have chosen a different marking?

Thankfully, the evening ends without Fox suddenly developing the desire to touch – or Force-forbid kiss – his brother’s tattoos, however nicely the colour shows up on their skin. Fox is relieved, right up until he realises that if he isn’t attracted to the tattoos after all, maybe it is because he likes Riyo and Quinlan as people.

Kriff.

Yahoo thought Tumblr would be the next PDF

Yahoo’s grand plan for Tumblr was to turn it into a “next-generation PDF”

They didn't really get it.

[noctumsolis]

What does that even mean? PDF as in Portable Document Format?

[sreegs]

i cannot stress enough that i dont think yahoo even knew what a pdf was

[virdigrishammer]

you left out the best part of that article. the poor yahoo emplyees at those meetings were just as confused as the rest of us.

[Fic excerpt] He breathes in again and yes, there’s that scent that’s so familiar now. It’s all over the cell but here, in this elf, it’s the strongest. Astarion has curled up against this before, ran his fingers through its fur and missed his companion’s smell when breathing no longer became a priority.

Fanart for perceived impressions, which has so many tender moments I could hardly choose, I love it a great deal!
