Hey VAs, we're coming into the last weekend of the call, and would still love to hear from you!

[chainofclovers]

Put in the tags the completely finished (whether cancelled or wrapped up on its own terms) TV series that has YOUR perfect ending, however you define that

Please don’t include huge spoilers for the specifics of the endings, and it would also make me happy if people don’t use this to talk about the shows whose endings they hated

Image 2: Another edited image shows the device pointed at Odo. The screen of the device simply reads "YES."

also hopefully everyone in this photo is ok with me posting it (2/3 of the people with faces visible follow me so they can tell me if not) but

this, particularly including the team name we ended up with, is just on every level the vibe for the past week and a half

I actively dislike horror; I generally find horror scary

I am actively a horror fan; I generally do NOT find it scary

No nuance option because I don't want the results skewed by people going 'well it depends on whether it's good or bad horror' ok?

[lysanderthenerd]

I picked horror fan, don't find it scary but that is specifically horror novels (the main kind of horror I seek out). I have not been genuinely scared by a horror novel in the best part of a decade.

That said, I am an absolute baby when it comes to horror movies.

Y'all will never guess what my answer is for this one

[takethistoyourstardust]

mythbusters is really good at being extremely timeless but occasionally kari wears something that violently reminds me that this show was filmed in the 2000’s.

[takethistoyourstardust]

another classic “this was filmed in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s” look from her. i wanna make a collection. also she’s wearing this particular outfit to a radiation facility and is about 2 feet from the line you cannot cross or else you risk exposure to radiation.

[lysanderthenerd]

@neitherabaron and I are watching mythbusters at the moment and I am heartbroken that I can't find a picture of Kari's iconic Bowler Hat With a Playing Card Stuck To It

I'm trying to write a ghost story about a woman with chronic migraines, but I keep getting distracted writing wish fulfillment about my ideal migraine recovery room

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

[despazito]

holy fuck

[thedurvin]

I saw a production and it was fascinating: that only describes the first and second acts, and then the third is set like a hundred years later when a bunch of half-remembered memes and plot summaries have coalesced into an allegorical oral tradition retelling the nuclear disaster that ended the world, with hints of dangerous schisms forming between fans of different interpretations of the story. It’s a story about how we find comfort in mundanity and ritual in times of catastrophe but then those rituals can overtake genuine coping mechanisms, which is a good message in these times but goddamn I cannot see Disney allowing any of this to be filmed intact

[despazito]

waow..

In honor of Kofiassam playing Silksong… Sam and Kofi as bugs!! @neitherabaron is a bee and @assamkofi is a wood louse!!

It’s not good but it’s funnier that way
