there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try

I have a very rough idea in my head that I don't think I can clearly articulate beyond "And that concludes tonight's reports on German air forc—WHAT'S THIS? IT'S KING ARTHUR WITH A STEEL CHAIR"

the-writers-wrench

IDK what this is about, but I want to know more.

supreme-leader-stoat

This isn't exactly the same idea but it could be but there is more rattling around in here so:

The Blitz here manages to qualify as Britain's Darkest Hour, thus triggering the return of Arthur from the Realm Avalon.

He does not speak a lick of modern English. He speaks an unholy mishmash of Brittonic and Late Classical Latin.

(Honestly I can see the latter becoming a plot point if they manage to get their hands on a Roman Catholic priest to act as a translator. It wouldn't be a perfect arrangement, but probably better than anything else.)

Truthfully he probably gets mistaken for a madman.

Somehow manages to steal a Spitfire out from under the RAF's nose, proceeds to use it to bring down like half an enemy squadron on his own, then lands in a field in the middle of nowhere.

Police and RAF converge on his location on account of the whole "stealing a plane" thing. They eventually overwhelm him with sheer numbers, but he manages to knock out an impressive number of them in the process. I mean, come on. It's Arthur.

"a catholic priest" i mean yeah sure why not but JRRTOLKIEN himself was alive and a teacher at the time so go big or go home.

supreme-leader-stoat

You know what sure why not let's just make literal real-life JRRT himself a character in this Arthurian return story, he deserves it.

Breaking my silence on heated rivalry. Here's my main thought. It is so fabulous to me to watch these two like proper acting theory pilled animal work clowning physical theatre guys (a type i am highly familiar with) grappling in some kind of sisyphean hand to hand combat with some of the most awkward fanfiction dialogue ever written. And well sometimes they win. But always the point of fascination is the fight.

I think it's funny this gay hockey show is some of the best immigrant to canada representation I've seen recently even if ilya had a perfect accent he'd get clocked because he doesn't know wtf a loon is

#heated rivalry #I like that I’ve only reblogged things abour birds. I do also have other thoughts. theoretically.

Artfully layering an axe bodyspray deodorant and two different perfume oils to create a tasteful mixture of amber, oud, mint, lavender, moss and petrichor, producing a scent that smells exactly like damp, stale, rotting laundry.

I wish I knew any other way to do anything.

Heated Rivalry has unfortunately pretty much the only thing getting me through a phenomenally shitty holiday season. But also, more importantly, I am a pretty serious birder. So obviously I spent the entire final episode extremely distracted by all the bird calls, there are so many of them and they're extremely location-accurate as best I can tell!

Please enjoy Birds at The Cottage, in approximate order of appearance:

American Robin (?) idk possibly one of the other robin-like songs

Black-and-white Warbler

Canada Goose

Swallow calls? Maybe Northern Rough-winged?

Common Loon*

Boreal Chickadee

Black-capped Chickadee (fun because they're in a good area to have both!)

Common Raven

Red-winged Blackbird (I guess there's a cattail marsh right behind the cottage?)

Hermit Thrush

Yellow-rumped Warbler?

Red-breasted Nuthatch

There are definitely some I'm missing, I'm not fantastic at sound id (and didn't want to replay a 3-second bit 10 times lol) so I'm really hoping the other hardcore birder fans that must exist will chime in here.

*the loon calls did NOT sound right and it really pissed me off, it didn't sound at all like they were coming from a distance over the water and it was really intrusive :/ Can't believe the sound mixer let the birder (and frankly Canadian-cottage-visitor) audience down on this one thing.

Watching the finale and thinking about the southern Boreal avifaunal community. As one does.

#heated rivalry #birding #I think “most distracting for me personally” award goes to the rbnu during Shane & Yuna's convo lol #Because the first time you hear it its right at the same time as some dialogue. And I was trying to decide if I heard it correctly #Fortunately you get it again a moment later

I love that a lion with an eagle's head and wings is such a well-known mythical beast but apparently the English language can only agree on a grand total of 3 out of 7 letters in its name.
