Not too long ago, a friend of mine reminded me of the wonderful Episode 74, where Jean Paul very melodramatically struggles to resist the temptations of the Mark of Death. Looking through my massive screencap collection, I found numerous freeze-frames of my favorite headache faces of his from the scene, which I decided to animate tonight into two (admittedly dodgy) GIFs.

That slightly freaky moment when you took a picture of all the X-mas lights decorating Hogsmeade at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter...... and there’s a skull in the clouds *mark of death I tell you!* 💀

Postcard from the Fireworks Show

A year or so ago, my Gamer Girl and I decided to drive through New England in the Fall. We had some things we’d always wanted to do while we still lived on the East Coast and this was definitely one of them.
