Just to step away for a moment from the beautiful theurgy going on at the Hallowed Round; how long, do you think, before Primus Tachonis realizes his domain is starting to hemorrhage souls and can it be in the middle of a speech, please?

I was expecting Brennan to do something numinous and he did not disappoint.

Absolutely transcendent!

We lost another one, BTVS fam! :(

Anthony Head passed away in his sleep on June 5, 2026 from complications of pneumonia. He was a proxy father to many of us and he will be greatly missed. RIP to a talented actor and a good human being.

Wayne Brady's casting and performance are perfection!

As is every character's "Nope! Just no." upon encountering him.

my reading of Wake Up Dead Man is that Benoit Blanc's mother has recently died and his approach to the entire investigation is informed by this

butch-king-frankenstein

when introducing himself to Father Jud, Blanc says "my mother is—was very religious" which is not a slip you make if your mother has been dead for a long time (compare to Knives Out where he says "my father was a police detective" with no hesitation)

his litany against Christianity in that same scene feels very personal, which could be for any number of reasons, but I think the line I mentioned in the previous bullet point is meant to provide context for it; he's expressing anger towards his mother and her loyalty to the church during her lifetime

similarly, when Blanc has his "road to Damascus" moment and his speech about giving grace to those who deserve it the least but need it the most, he's not really (or at least not only) talking about Martha; he's realized that he needs to find forgiveness and grace for his mother as well

Blanc's mother being dead would make him a thematic parallel to Monsignor Wicks, whose own unresolved trauma with his deceased mother informs his hyper-religious worldview (which stands in opposition to Blanc's hyper-rationalist one)

it also seems very intentional that when Father Jud prays for Louise, it's because her mother is dying and she doesn't want their last words exchanged to be in anger

I think I'm really onto something here

Gotta say: I am now deeply curious about what sort of sign-up spike we see from PROMO CODE: FEET

I have been listening to a new-to-me podcast (Common Descent) and it has given me a new changing-the-subject phrase, which I can feel embedding itself permanently in my vocabulary:

"My news is also about eukaryotes..."

I love them so much! I tell people it's got a "Bob & Dave In The Morning" vibe but for Paleo/Evo stuff!

The play is happening on the same night the Sundered Houses all meet AND all the PCs are back in town.

...that night is going to take all of June to play out (at least)!

miscling

your erotica doesn't need to align with your principles. you can find something hot and not believe it should be the way of things. you can play out dynamics in kink that shouldn't be replicated societally. what gets you going is not an indictment of your character

Kantian Kink Imperative: only find things sexy that should be embraced as a Universal Fetish.

The way Brennan is eeeever so slowly laying out the bits and pieces of Thjazi's Master Plan: I feel like I'm watching an array of dominoes being set up by M.C. Escher.

Of all the things I expected to see while watching The Count of Monte Cristo on PBS, an honest-to-goodness Clacks Tower was not one of them!

If they don't get Jason Statham to voice King Gus in the animated version, then what even is the point of anything?

What the heck is a Falanouc and why does it look like that?

okay so I saw the search summary art first and was like "interesting style choice"

However,

looks like their faces are shaped like that because they shove them into the dirt all day hunting for worms. american robin type of animal.

markscherz

Mongoose* with face for slorp

*not actually a mongoose because Madagascar has its own brand of everything. This is a euplerid, like the fossa.
