Radioactive Cannibal Vikings from Hell: Special Collectors Gore Edition from NilsB-Film on Vimeo.

Nils B-Films short gore fest 'Radioactive Cannibal Vikings from Hell', with Swedish language and English subtitles. Note that this is the version seen on the extended gore edition, and that the film isn't suited for viewers under 15.

In a near future, four criminal psychotics divides themselves from society in a road trip of random ultra violence upon anyone that crosses them. Their violent nature soon forces them into the Swedish country-roads on their flight from the police. What they don't know is that their murderous joy-ride soon will turn into a desperate fight for their lives as they end up in a village that have been cut off from the rest of the world since the age of the Vikings, and where the government have disposed radioactive waste that has turned the villagers into mutated, cannibalistic monsters! And this is a fight our band of outlaws are not sure to win.

Almost Alive Again

Hey guys,

A quick health update. June was pretty gross, and the depression, anxiety and sleeplessness/exhaustion were making everything pretty hard. However, the good news is, I had the gastroscopy Tuesday last week, and was able to immediately go gluten-free again after that.

It’s been what, nine, ten days? and things are starting to finally improve now. I mean, I spent three months deliberately poisoning my body to see how hard it would crash (literally, oy), so I have to figure it’s going to take a while to regain full health and sanity. Patience, grasshopper.

But yeah, things are definitely getting better. I’m getting good sleep about one in three nights (which is SO much better than none!), and I’m at least on holidays so I can have afternoon naps and/or sleep in as required. Not a lot getting done around the house, but hey, recuperation is a Thing, right?

Yesterday was also a pretty big deal: I wrote new words.

Guys. I wrote new words. I haven’t written new words since April. *deep breath of relief*

It’s been so long that I was honestly scared that maybe writing just wasn’t a thing I could do any more. Obviously, that was the depression and anxiety talking, but perspective is a challenging thing, right?

So yeah. Yay words 🙂

The blog might even resume weekday posts next week – we’ll see how we go :3 <3

Love you guys <3 Take care.

So glad to hear you’re feeling a bit better! I’m glad you understand that it will be a long process of taking baby steps, and falling down, and picking yourself up again, and taking more baby steps again. You’ll get there, eventually! And you don’t need to keep up with anybody else, the race is only with your own self. If you find yourself too far behind your goals, here’s a thought for you: You have the authority to move your own goal posts if you need to! They’re yours! If you’ve shared them with others, as in your accountabilibuddies, if they care for you, they’ll keep you on track but still let you adjust your goals to fit your situation and needs.

Please note that when I reblog things like “let people have happy endings,” it’s not because I think that tragedies in and of themselves are a less worthy form of art, but because people get it into their heads that happy endings are fake and anyone who writes them is inherently a bad writer, and that’s a cynical and utterly rubbish worldview that I can’t agree with on any level.

Douglas Adams is the best when it comes to describe characters

[quasarkisses]

they need to teach classes on Douglas Adams analogies okay

“He leant tensely against the corridor wall and frowned like a man trying to unbend a corkscrew by telekinesis.”

“Stones, then rocks, then boulders which pranced past him like clumsy puppies, only much, much bigger, much, much harder and heavier, and almost infinitely more likely to kill you if they fell on you.”

“He gazed keenly into the distance and looked as if he would quite like the wind to blow his hair back dramatically at that point, but the wind was busy fooling around with some leaves a little way off.”

“It looked only partly like a spaceship with guidance fins, rocket engines and escape hatches and so on, and a great deal like a small upended Italian bistro.”

“If it was an emotion, it was a totally emotionless one. It was hatred, implacable hatred. It was cold, not like ice is cold, but like a wall is cold. It was impersonal, not as a randomly flung fist in a crowd is impersonal, but like a computer-issued parking summons is impersonal. And it was deadly - again, not like a bullet or a knife is deadly, but like a brick wall across a motorway is deadly.”

[nudityandnerdery]

And, of course: “The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”

[assassinregrets]

the one that will always stay with me is “Arthur Dent was grappling with his consciousness the way one grapples with a lost bar of soap in the bath,” i feel like that was the first time i really understood what you could do with words.

I will reblog this every time I see it because these are some of my favorite sentences in the English language.

Peter: Ms um Captain Marvel can I ask you a question

Carol: About Space? I can tell you anything you want but if it was from when I was a kid it might be a little harder for me to answer but I’m sure I can-

Peter: Does Goose like to be picked up???

The social cheat I’ve learned for this is to say:

“I have to check my calendar, why, what’s Friday?”

This says “Maybe” without saying “Maybe”, and giving you the option to make up a Doctor’s Appointment You Forgot About (or reschedule one you didn’t!) depending on what they say.

It’s an amazingly powerful sentence for my Autistic and ADHD ass - it gives me the ability to judge my social spoons, as well as communicating that “hey, I might have forgotten something, it’s not you it’s me” in a very non-offensive way.

“I have to check my calendar, why?”

Did you ever read a book and just feel so glad it exists? Or maybe it was a single scene or one minor character who wandered in and out just long enough to connect with you. At some point in your life, a story helped you feel Not Alone. Because it rang true. And something you write could do that for someone else out there. People respond to and connect with stories that feel vulnerable and honest. Whether they are scifi or mystery or romance or any genre. So, go write your truth. Someone’s waiting for it.

I'm trying to convince my parents to let me read the book version of Good Omens. What age would you say it's appropriate for? Thank you!

I’ve never really believed in the age thing. It’s appropriate for smart kids with senses of humour, and a certain amount of curiosity about the world.

I think we need to hear kind things more often. I think they should drip off the tongue freely. kindness is not a finite resource. I think all of us understand the importance of saying “I love you”, but we should also be more free with hugs. With smiles, With saying “I’m proud of you,” or “you did a good job.” Thank you. I’m grateful for everything you do. I am blessed to have you in my life. These are not things we should be saving to say at funerals. We should be saying it while people are still here. Let people know you care about them. Smile. Be kind. The world isn’t always kind, and that’s why it’s our job to change it.

Hello Neil, a question (or maybe a couple) - how did Hell contact Crowley before using technology to abruptly drop in? How did music left in the Bentley behave before Queen existed as a band? Also, an obligatory thank you for the wonderful series that you and the team gave us, it's a beautiful homage to what you wrote together and Terry would be proud!

I think questions like that are what fan fiction was made for.

[tammyjrizzo]

This is a brilliant answe. Thank you, Mr Gaiman!

I’ve seen a lot of wonderful analyses on how Aziraphale played up the part of Crowley, but I haven’t seen much on Crowley’s portrayal of Aziraphale. This is the angel he’s been in love with for millennia, the angel he’s watched and guarded and adored since before written history began, and finally in the very last episode we get to see what Aziraphale looks like through his eyes. 

Standing before the one thing in the universe that could actually destroy him, Crowley’s Aziraphale is resolute, unflinching, gracious to the very end. He talks about the greater good and how angels are meant to be the champions of that greater good even when it goes against how the Great Plan was written. He stands up and speaks his truth even in the face of total opposition. And when the Archangel Gabriel, the person Aziraphale has always tried to emulate, tried to impress, tells him in no uncertain terms that this is what heaven does to the people who fight for the right thing, Aziraphale straightens his shoulders and lifts his chin and says, “It’s been lovely knowing you all. May we meet on a better occasion.” And then he steps into the flames. 

We’ve seen other sides of Aziraphale. We’ve seen him be selfish, gluttonous, desperate, closed minded, we’ve seen him be just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing, but when Crowley is asked to take the part of Aziraphale this is who he chooses. This is who he really believes Aziraphale is deep down: kind, chivalrous, compassionate, brave, the sort of angel that heaven ought to be peopled with. The sort of angel who smiles even though he’s broken. The sort of angel who doesn’t mind dying as long as he did the right thing.

reddit is continually full of men explaining why, actually, they don’t need to wash their hands after peeing because their penis really is very clean, and i am genuinely so sorry for straight and bi women everywhere. ladies. we don’t deserve this.

[strangehorse]

like, imagine picking that as your hill to die on. imagine being a whole-ass grown man and still insisting your pee-pee is actually so magically clean that washing your hands would be dumb and a waste of your precious time that you could better spend, i don’t know, playing hearthstone or whatever. sometimes when i say ‘i hate men’ i mean ‘i hate pervasive sexist norms’ and sometimes i just mean holy FUCK please wash your fucking HANDS

[trancowboy]

i don’t know who decided that happy endings were boring but i wanna fight them. happy endings make all the bad shit that characters go through worth it, there’s nothing boring about that.
