A combination gif repository / askblog / research centre dedicated to the character of Bill Needle, SCTV's resident critic at large.
Presented in a wrapper of anachronistic epistolary roleplay (Needle somehow has access to the contemporary Internet in the early 80s and is now Melonville's most irritated blogger).
(Psst: I also make gifs and other things that aren't Needle-related @collateral-joy. Check it out if you like Dave Thomas, SCTV, Dave Thomas on SCTV, or having a good time in general)
See below for more information on tags and posts and whatnot.
"Huh? You wanna know more about this place? Well, I can't stop you. Just keep in mind that this is a work in progress."
Tags
Find the Needle Content you crave using the intuitive content tagging system. Posts are tagged (#needle [type of post]). For example, #needle blog will net you all of Needle's personal blog posts. Other terms currently in use are gif, ask, image, edit, video, audio, game, and update.
#purpletext is used for posts that are explicitly "out of character" (or more accurately, in character as a sort of ghost that's haunting Needle's computer - it's complicated).
Posts
As stated at the top, this blog operates in a few different modes.
At the center of it all is my gifmaking practice. I have taken it upon myself to supply the world with the finest Needle gifs. I also take requests, so do send in any specific scenes/themes you'd like me to cover. Please feel free to use the Needle gifs however you see fit - spread 'em far and wide! All I ask is that you let people know where you found 'em.
Next up, the RP element. Through in-character blog posts and answering your asks, together we can get to know Bill Needle and what goes on in his funny little head a bit better. He might come across as aloof and/or abrasive, but trust me, he gets real excited when he sees a message come in.
To round it out, I also may occasionally offer the fruits of my ongoing Needle research. So far, this has taken the form of compilations - see the #needle video tag for the goods. I am something of a Needle Expert, you could say. Let us discuss the finer points of Needle (pun intended) over some piña coladas.
