young widow enjoying escapism

Someone on the Sandman subreddit said there are stars on the lining of Dream’s coat so I had to see for myself. This is from Episode 2, "Imperfect Hosts":

And here's a freeze frame:

But that's not all. Let's slow it down.

Someone else on the thread pointed out the stars are not exactly moving in tandem with the coat's fabric. It means those are not just star prints; there are actual starry skies within Dream's coat! That is so beautiful and romantic. The amount of details in this show is incredible.

i’d like to personally thank boyd holbrook for how slutty his performance as the corinthian is. the director said “one more!” but he heard “more whore” and went with it.

Backing Up Your Blog

12-16-18

Listen, with tumblr not not allowing web.archive to do the wayback machine thing and create a backup that way, and with the deadline looming large at less than 24 hours, please, please if you need to backup your blog, download and run the python script here. Use the for beginners document (open it in whatever your browser is to read it) and follow the instructions to get your backup. It’s still working as of this morning.

You can’t trust tumblr on this one, and if they actually start *deleting* blogs tomorrow, their .zip backup is going to be useless because it hotlinks to the images on your blog, not at their original source/a downloaded version.

Seriously. It’s not hard. There’s step by step instructions. If you’ve been waiting and waiting hoping this would get better, it’s really not. There’s not going to be an 11th hour backtrack by Verizon. Save your stuff now because we don’t know what tomorrow’s going to bring.

And reblog the heck out of this because I’m already invisible everywhere but the dash.

Hey guys, (especially to the ones who are leaving soon) i’m not much of a content “producer” but if we have chatted in the past and you would like to stay in touch, i’m Lilbell465 on ao3.  See you on the other side.

i’ve just finished mercury & me and the last chapters are really sad so here’s a collection of my favorite moments to cheer myself up: 

“freddie delighted in running around as a tourist, snapping photographs of everything in sight. but he wasn’t very practical with a camera. in fact he had no idea what he was doing and was hilarious to watch.”

for his 39th birthday freddie threw a black & white dress-up party and brian may came as a witch

once david bowie was drying his hair in front of an electric fan and freddie told him it was about the only fan he had

freddie & jim would give each other roses almost every year for valentines day

the very first time freddie came over to hit on jim jim told him to fuck off. freddie did.

whenever jim was sick freddie would fuss around him like a “jewish mother” and run around like a “mother hen” trying to make him feel better

jim started working as the gardner at garden lodge at some point and the first thing freddie did when he got up in the mornings would be to go over to the window to watch him and call out ‘cooee!’

freddie always needed jim to reassure him that he loved him

one they had a row that put freddie in enough of a mood to call jim a bloody irish witch

freddie loved baths and always overdid it on the bubbles

once they couldn’t find goliath and freddie became so upset that the cat was missing that he hurled a beautiful japanese hibachi through the window of the guest bedroom

they previously spent days in japan searching for that specific hibachi

when goliath was finally found freddie cuddled him for five minutes “then, like a mother, freddie scolded the cat, shouting and screaming at tiny goliath for leaving garden lodge. the dark ball of fur just sat there, listening calmly to freddie’s outburst and purring loudly.”

freddie had one (1) driving lesson in his life. he got into the car, stalled the engine, got out and declared “i can’t be bothered with this”

once freddie gave jim a fancy silver magnifying glass because he wanted him “to be able to see the bugs” that were infesting the plants at garden lodge

jim thought freddie & roger were clearly soulmates

there was another time that goliath disappeared but they eventually found him asleep in a sink and freddie thought it was so cute that he screamed

freddie would visit his parents every thursday and his mum would often pack him a lunch box with biscuits

once, before they had guests over for lunch, jim was weeding the garden and freddie thought it looked fun so he wanted to help. when the guests started arriving freddie would commandeer them, one by one, to join them and by the time lunch was ready everyone was on all fours weeding the garden

freddie & michael jackson had worked on a rap number that was never finished

freddie had a rolls royce that was barely used, jim would only drive it out of the garage to play with his model trains (jim beach loved his model trains)

jim made furniture for freddie and freddie would always proudly show it off to visitors telling them “my husband made this for me”

whenever they got fish & chips freddie would insists they get an extra six fish (one for each of the cats) and it was jim’s job to take off all the batter and check for bones so none of them would choke

freddie would joke about wanting to form a band with rod stewart and elton john called Teeth, Nose and Hair.

freddie was quite dramatic and sometimes would tell jim to move out when they were arguing. once it got so far that jim even got an apartment but right before he moved freddie told him he didn’t want him to move and it turned out he didn’t even remember how the argument had started

when jim asked freddie why, out of all people, he was with him, freddie told him “you fought me. you won me.”

UHM.... SO....

IF YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO POST YOUR NSFW ART….

….yeah.

This is real.

[seperis]

I need a word that encompasses ‘maybe touched’, ‘profoundly weirded out’ and ‘…oh’.

And gleeful as fuck.  For truly, the internet is for porn.

[thebibliosphere]

WAIT

…….fuck it. I wonder what the pornhub pay out is like compared to patreon.

[unzip-your-guts]

[mxponysyn-deactivated20190620]

Who knew writing erotica on pornhub could be a legitimate career 😂😂😂

[sirsbabybear]

Pornhub is there when life gets hard and when you get fucked (by tumblr).

[a-dragon-and-an-eagle]

Pornhub, somehow becoming the new social media hub

[dreamingwidow]

hmm

‘Make better choices’: Endangered Hawaiian monk seals keep getting eels stuck up their noses and scientists want them to stop

"This could end up being one of those little oddities and mysteries of our careers that 40 years from now, we’ll be retired and still questioning quite how this happened," one monk seal expert said.

This has nothing to do with anything but it’s the greatest headline I’ve ever seen

[dreamingwidow]

@silentwalrus1  Bucky needs to tell them to stop it.  lol

i’m just gonna post all the ways i’ve found so far to get RSS Links They Don’t Want You To Know About from social media sites, because people keep Leaving Tumblr Forever in favor of sites that i’m not going to use

(if you don’t have an rss reader yet just make a feedly account, it takes about one whole minute, if you decide to use a different reader later you can export your whole list, it’s fine)

i’m gonna use strikethrough to indicate the text you need to replace and also include examples of feeds that seem to work

A General Rule

on almost any website look for the icon that looks like this

that’s the button that means ‘the rss feed is here’

Tumblr

just add /rss to the end of literally any blog’s url, including tags

i.e. unpretty.tumblr.com/rss or unpretty.tumblr.com/tagged/original/rss

now you can Leave Tumblr Forever and still follow blogs until such a time as tumblr implodes in earnest

Dreamwidth

use username.dreamwidth.org/data/rss

i.e. gallusrostromegalus.dreamwidth.org/data/rss

WordPress

if it’s hosted on WordPress.com, just add /feed to the end of the url

if it’s self-hosted (i think around 20% of people who have their own website use wordpress to host it, i know i do bc it’s easy as sin) also just add /feed to the end the url

i.e. en.blog.wordpress.com/feed or kittyunpretty.com/feed

ArtStation

use username.artstation.com/rss

i.e. beccahallstedt.artstation.com/rss

Mastodon

just add .rss to the end of someone’s profile url

i.e. cybre.space/@kittyunpretty.rss

deviantART

use backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=gallery%3Ausername

i.e. backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=gallery%3Aarvalis

YouTube

this one’s a goddamn pain in the dick because you need to find the channel id first

in general youtube channels have a nonsense url like youtube.com/channel/abunchofbullshit

you have to take that last bit and plug it into youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=abunchofbullshit

i.e. youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCbpMy0Fg74eXXkvxJrtEn3w

Tapas

this is mostly handy for webcomics that were hosting on tumblr and crossposting, i think? i don’t know how tapas works for creators tbqh. anyway they’ve actually got a button at the top when you go to the comic page.

the one between ‘add to library’ and the paper airplane will give you the rss feed

LINE Webtoons

ditto wrt tumblr-hosted webcomics, and also having a button

the button to the left of the one that says +subscribe will get you the rss feed

Twitter & Instagram

these are the only two sites i’m including that don’t have native rss support, just because so goddamn many people have literally no other web presence at all for some reason

twitter used to have rss feeds but killed them, and i don’t think instagram ever had them. you have to use workarounds for these, and a lot of them end up getting killed, like TwitRSS.me. fetchrss seems to work okay but it costs money. if you pay for inoreader they’ve got built-in support for following twitter accounts but that’s not a practical solution for most people.

right now i use rsshub.app/platform/user/username

i.e. rsshub.app/twitter/user/dasharez0ne

… but the instagram one doesn’t actually seem to work, like, most of the time. i don’t know if i’ve found one that works ever. if you’re jumping ship there please consider doing the world the enormous goddamn favor of just making a free wordpress.com account and cross-posting all your instas with ifttt or something, rather than being totally at the mercy of mark zuckerberg

I recently did a Garak run of DS9 where I only watch the Garak episodes, and my friend Rebecca asked me to put together a list of the best ones for her to watch (with a special emphasis on the Garak/Bashir ship). So, here are my picks! What are your favorite Garak episodes?
