Is the prerequisite for being an Avalanche being hot and insanely weird?

Drive Angry (2011) was a cinematic masterpiece and I will not hear a word against it

What's up doc?

So, I'm not sure if anyone remembers this blog I made a long time ago, but the weasel of love was my everyday for a long time. Then for some reason I dropped off the map....twice. So I wanted to make this little text post to address something. I am going to now be fully active once again. I have a stable job, home life is good, and I have time now. I want to apologize to those who I kinda left hanging. I want to apologize to anyone who follows my silly little blog. Nevertheless, I am back and here to stay. Should anything prevent me from posting regularly, I will let you know instead of disappearing. Now for some less serious stuff. Firstly, I have been making Toon Patrol videos to tide me over and work out my editing skills. They aren't the best but I like giving back to the WFRR fandom every once in awhile. If anyone is interested, I might post some. Secondly, it feels nice to be back. I'm posting this late so this won't reach anyone until morning but regardless I missed this community so much. Lastly my ask box is open 24/7 now regardless of whether or not I am online. Posts will be answered either way. That being said, any asks before this post will probably never get responses. I hate to do that but I need to start fresh. The old page will stay up and I'll update that whenever I get some spare time. That's all from me for now. It's super early where I am right now and I need some sleep so I'll end off with making it official. The-weasel-of-love is back, and I couldn't be more excited.

In every subsequent dragon age game I always miss playing as Grey Wardens, mostly because they function incredibly well as a thematic vehicle for being invested in every conflict. They're an orginzation who's whole thing is preventing the apocalypse at any cost who's main enemy isn't the apocalypse gremlins, it's political assholes who will gladly sacrifice common sense and short sightedly screw everyone over and make everyone vulnerable for short term gain.

They are invested in every conflict because they have to be, because every little ounce of bullshit gives the darkspawn an easier time destroying everything, because every conflict over nothing allows the end to creep a little bit closer.

Makes me think of the Night's Watch in ASOIAF, forever guarding from the ultimate evil even while degenerating and not being taken seriously by fools fighting over the same land for hundreds of years even while existential threats loom so close nearby.

I coudn't care less about kirkwall or orlais as an individual setting. I get ho their small scale conflicts also feed into the larger picture of social failure in Thedas, they just feel so much less immediate when underground theirs an army of ghouls digging up Dragon Gods to eat the world.

Didnt care for how the series shifted focus, each game just felt less involving or interesting. Wish they followed up on Awakening more.

Good books tho

The odd thing about "burying emotions" or "shoving them" is that I really don't feel it anymore after listening to hours of spotify, etc I actually DON'T feel anything. I'm fine again. So it's not like I feel it linger. It's just that things that are planted grow from the soil and sometimes the dead can claw their way six feet above...

Kinda serious christian religion question. I grew up Roman Catholic. And the friends that I grew up with are Roman Catholic. I live in the American South, so there are a lot of nonCatholics around. We have always made jokes about our faith, G*d, and Jesus. Nothing profane or blasphemous. Just irreverant. I've not really noticed other denominations do this. Even when I make a religious joke outside of the friend group, half the time it feels like I get scandalized looks or people laugh out of obligation.

My question, do other denominations, in general, poke fun at themselves and joke at their own religion?
