[umi-no-otoko]

[giftcardhobo]

Truncated, sadbad bathroom recording. But, proof of concept, I guess? I don’t really have a good room or equipment for recording anything but I am all about the gay.

[giftcardhobo]

I really don't want to seem like I'm like ? Demanding something of someone idk off the internet. I just thought it might be something you would like, because of Jolene but gay! Please don't worry about it. Thanks for being willing and very nice !!

Please demand. I am very in to the idea, but executive disfunction makes me bad at actually doing things. I won't ever get mad at anyone for reminding my stupid brain about stuff i like.

[giftcardhobo]

Jesse's girl but gay ?

Shit, yes! I work a lot, sorry. I will try over the weekend but keep reminding me if I don't.

[giftcardhobo]

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I’m beggin’ of you, please, I’ll leave my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

For you I’d do anything I can

Your beauty is beyond compare

With flaming locks of auburn hair

With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring

Your voice is soft like summer rain

You’re everything that I need

Jolene

I’ve dreamt about you in my sleep

There’s nothing I can do to keep

from smilin’ when I hear your name

Jolene

And I could easily understand

How you could easily want a man

But you don’t know what you mean to me

Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I’m beggin’ of you, please, I’ll leave my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

For you I’d do anything I can

You could have your choice of men

But I could never love again

You’re the only one for me

Jolene

I had to have this talk with you

My happiness depends on you

Whatever you decide to do

Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I’m beggin’ of you, please, I’ll leave my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

For you I’ll do everything I can

Jolene, Jolene

@ungrateful-glasses glumshoe is actually why this happened.

Lucretia had definitely had taako’s elderflower macarons before the candlenights episode like they’re one of his signature recipes and she had loved them for 100 years 

BUT she also knew that they were his own, secret recipe that no-one else knew so she was like ‘hmm ok if i eat one i have to be sure to react like i’ve never had one of my favourite macarons before, if he thinks i’ve had them before he’ll get suspicious, ok Lucretia just… act… natural’ 

& long story short that’s why ‘hot diggity shit that is a baller cookie’

[penny-anna]

Lucretia, mentally: nailed it

Taako: haha the whole recipe is in my book!!

Lucretia: …

Lucretia: this pretense has been wholly unnecessary 

[penny-anna]

*later*

Lucretia: *leafing through a newly purchased copy of taako’s cookbook trying to commit to memory which of his recipes she can and cannot admit familiarity with* okay okay okay this is fine okay

[penny-anna]

*still later*

Lucretia, sweating: *pointing at recipe for a dish taako made almost every week on the starblaster* hey taako… this looks… good… could you make it??

Taako, drinking a milkshake, only half listening: do i look like i work for free

[penny-anna]

Magnus: why don’t you just make it yourself there’s instructions right there

Lucretia: um

Taako: the director’s a terrible cook

Lucretia, panicking: how do you… know that..

Taako: i can smell it on you

[island-delver-go]

LMAO

[red-faced-wolf-deactivated20251]

I hate it. Bad post. Horrible. Have a terrible day

[scienceandfandoms]

I love it. Great post. Fantastic. Have a wonderful day

[giftcardhobo]

I come to you, the singer of "Jolene, but gay", in my hour of need. Consider this: Jesses girl, but gay. It's perfect. It haunts me but I can't sing well enough to create it. Execution is simple: Jesse is a friend, I know she's been a good friend of mine, but lately somethings changed it ain't hard to define, Jesse got herself a man, but I want to make her mine. Many of the lines can stay the same. Make the chorus "I wish that I was Jesses girl". Please help, snakes have manifested in my home

YES. YES. I WILL DO THIS THING FOR YOU. GIVE ME TIME AND PERHAPS REMIND ME BECAUSE I AM A SPACEY BITCH BUT YES

[theworldofcinema]

“Now Colin, you’ve always been seen as a romantic lead to the ladies. How did you apply this to a gay context? Was it difficult for you? How did you-”

[zakkorama]

Hero.

[serrae]

Not just that he said it, but that he seemed really angry that he had to.

[lady-mephistopheles]

We don’t deserve him.

[rowsoil]

me: *makes a weird noise*

My coworker: u good

Me: do u ever just think about how ur just pretending to be a real person

my coworker: what

[micdotcom]

Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.

[annakie]

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

[brianadeshe]

Because this is crucially important

[gayforbagels]

Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action. 

[kintatsujo]

It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, they’re just counting on you not knowing your rights.

So I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve created a song in my miniscule down time working on Steam Powered Giraffe business stuff. It was a sort of therapy for me to get away from all the hard work we’ve been doing in the group…stress and all that stuff… The weird thing is… It’s a Steam Powered Giraffe song, but it currently has no plans to be a Steam Powered Giraffe song. It’s not going to be an an album or anything that I know of….but I had to make it…I was compelled to. That’s a bit weird…but it’s how I feel about it right now. We’ve got tons of cool songs lined up for the album though…this just popped into my head a few days ago…and I made it instead of playing The Last of Us. :3 It’s far from a finished product…I mean I threw it together in a few days working like an hour or so each day. But it came together quickly… This is just a prototype. So be warned! I thew it together in a few days… That means it is far from polished and not ready for human consumption. You’ll have to excuse the cheesy synthetic horns…they sound bad. Sadly I didn’t have time to record a full horn section in my down time :P But they get the general idea across. Even with that… You’re probably going to pour it down your ears anyways because the temptation is too much! Anywho… This is a high concept song. I’ll explain why… Here’s the breakdown… The Spine falls in love with a human warrior woman while battling bad guys with her. They both have katanas and it’s really sweet and awesome and cool and stuff. They frolic together and are happy together in their puppy love, which blossoms into a caring and understanding of each other…but then one day they’re surrounded by bad guys again. Epic battle ensues. They’re kicking butt. Hatchworth and Rabbit join the fray. At the last moment The Spine dodges out of the way when a big bad boss dude throws his sword at him. The Spine cuts him down. Sadly the sword impales the warrior woman and she dies. The Spine is sad. Buries her and visits her grave when he can. Think of it like a really cool music video that could be made if we had the time, money, and proper swords. Black silhouettes for all the characters during battle, white weapons, colorful hand drawn backdrops. It’s cool right?! Now imagine the song finished, with Rabbit and Hatchworth in it…and the instrumentation better and not synthetic… Michael Reed adds his magic to the mix…and Sam and Bunny giving their input….then Steve tells me it’s not chiptunes and we play DnD instead…and Matt does some killer drum stuff..and maybe blows some horns for us… AAAANYWHO… I am sharing this with you all because it’s on the back burner, not slated for Steam Powered Giraffe currently (I got the okay to post it from Bunny) and making it was actually a bit more personal for me. The idea and the inspiration was all sparked from a lovely lady who has made me really happy recently, and when I am in a good mood…I CREATE, even when we are pushed for time, in the middle of a gazillion shows, creating an album, and the timing is just bad all around. HA! But anyways… there ya go. This is not an Engineer-eteer exclusive. Just a David Michael Bennett song about The Spine falling in love. Art imitates life sometimes. That’s weird right? Me writing a song for Steam Powered Giraffe but not as Steam Powered Giraffe? I mean obviously it’s The Spine singing, but it’s me doing the song. Maybe it sounds a bit like Postal Service here and there…or Owl Shitty…or…whateverIdunnoknow…it’s a PROTOTYPE! But now you know my lore ideas for The Spine’s lost love. SUPER SECRET STUFF! If I wasn’t coming down from a stressful week, I probably wouldn’t have shared this. But I did. _/__\_ ( ¬_¬) _/__\_ ( ¬_¬)>⌐□-□ _/__\_ (⌐□_□) WORD

[spacemuffinz]

dude this is aWESOME

and lol me and half of tumblr could probably make this a full on animated music video in like two weeks. i totally get what you mean with the shadows and stuff. i think cel shading could even look great. but not in a borderlands way. in a like super stark black and white noir-ish way. but more samurai jack. idk i just love this a lot

[newblogisnotjustanoxymoron-deac]

Oh, good lord.

I love this so much.

*Quietly cries* Dooowwwwwwwnload why can’t I download this

*Sighs*

This really is just fantastic. Guys, check it out.

[seaofdreams-moved]
