Hop and Other Things

I'm Hop. This is where I have the few aspects of my life not related to Samuel Johnson. Fan of The Goes Wrong Show, King Gizzard, the Celestial Toymaker, and everything 18th Century! Main content at @YellowBelliedToad

I started when the pairing had 4. Now it has 82, and that is partially my fault. I am so proud :)

[froghoppy789]

Started when I believe there were 36. Now, also 82.

For the blorbo ask game because I like hearing about blorbos. Pick any blorbo :D

● who’s the Blorbo that you’ve never posted about on your blog?

● what’s the one thing the fandom gets wrong about your Blorbo?

● if you could change one canonical thing about your Blorbo, what would it be?

A Blorbo I never talk about (anymore) would be Pierre Despereaux. I adore this silly completely insane art thief/professional liar. >:3!!!

Thing the fandom gets wrong about my blorbo:

If we're talking about the Toymaker, I suppose that he is often seen as blonde, when he has more grey hair than anything. @froghoppy789

If i could change one thing: I would remove that gosh darn line about the sunnier climate 💀💀💀

[froghoppy789]

You know you're wrong and you know you're a bastard.

[marzipanandminutiae]

many of our ancestors worked so hard to be not farming and I deeply appreciate that

I love not farming

I respect the hell out of farmers and I'm glad that's someone's dream. because it's sure not mine

I would not be taken in by the tradwife influencer grift about milking a cow in a sundress. I have been around cows. my uncle was a dairy farmer. I love not milking a cow. I love getting milk from a store. I love getting vegetables and fruit and meat and bread from a store.

would I rather it be a local farm's store or a local bakery or butcher shop? yes! maybe when I make more money!

but oh. my god. I love not farming so much

Cons of being into a rare-pair: Not a lot of fics. Pros of being into a rare-pair:

Much easier to make a spreadsheet of every fic and graph it :)

remember that when it comes to fanfics, two cakes is always better then one. the more the merrier!

the famous historical scene of pompey releasing his pollen and giving crassus allergies

[froghoppy789]

Research assistant. He sat with me to monitor local water striders.

[froghoppy789]

Found standing beneath a grove of cherry blossoms in bloom. Do you think he knows that life is beautiful?

[boscofuller]

[froghoppy789]

Oh, absolutely. Are these Eastern Fox Squirrels?

[amnhnyc]

Have you ever seen a tufted pygmy squirrel (Exilisciurus whiteheadi)? Found only in Borneo’s mountain forests—at elevations of more than 3,280.8 ft (1,000 m)—this tiny critter is one of the world’s smallest squirrels. It grows up to 3.4 in (8.6 cm) long. And at about 0.8 oz (22.7 g), adults typically weigh less than half a stick of butter! Easily recognizable thanks to its ear tufts, this species feeds primarily on moss and lichens.

A YA romantasy writer filed suit against another writer for copyright infringement, and as is always the case with these things, she padded her claims with delusionally spurious examples. The judge issued a 160-page ruling against the plaintiff where you can tell from the start how resentful they (or whatever clerk actually did the work) are to have been forced by duty to have read the works in question.
