Guess what my new phone background is :)
I finally decided it was time to change away from my Christmas screensaver (it was Os, Ed, and Martin decorating their Christmas tree by random-fandom-art, partly inspired by a prompt I sent, which I reblogged a while ago--it’s currently on page 4 of my blog, though obviously that will change--side note, how cool is it that you can suggest things to artists on here and then the art happens? Epic.)
So this is my new home screen. I always love Spicy Watson’s colors so much; they’re just so vivid and cheerful and the art really pops. I also love the details of the pattern on Os’s robe. Perhaps the best thing about this piece in particular, though, (I’m sounding like a wine-sipping art critic right now, aren’t I... woops) are Os and Ed’s expressions. I just love how straight up annoyed Oswald looks that Ed has gone and done something silly and gotten himself injured; his eyebrows could not more clearly say “again?”. Ed looks so bashful and embarrassed, yet there’s also that edge of a smile he’s barely biting back, and he looks like he’s actually quite happy to be having Oswald patching him up. I also love the purple outlines on Oswald’s hair because purple, and the fact that Oswald has canonically had purple highlights is still one of my favorite things about his fashion choices. Because purple. In conclusion, they may annoy each other, but they’ll always take care of each other. (That was a completely non sequitur use of “in conclusion” but I’m standing by it.)
-Oswald, really, I’m fine.
-If you come home like this one more time, you’re sleeping on the couch.

And I suppose I’d be remiss if I didn’t also reblog the lovely part 2! Dancing, romance, political drama, Kylo Ren with a flower in his hair, and my gosh this art style. I love it :)

Anyways, I’ve reblogged something on the eve of opening night for the past two shows I’ve been in, so I guess it’s a tradition now! Unlike with Frog and Toad and Almost, Maine, I didn’t happen upon something for Mamma Mia naturally, so I had to go seek this one out, but it’s very pretty and tranquil. Happy opening night eve!
Mamma Mia (2008)
Mamma mia! This means literally, my mother, but it is definitely a term that can express everything from exasperation to wonder.
So I just went through the new Gotham promo at .25 speed, as one does, and I don’t have any discoveries quite as significant as my Selena one last promo, but I still thought I’d share a few screenshots and speculations. Probably the best is this first one, where I managed to pause on this funky bird-masked person in the night vision goggles. Is this that Magpie who’s supposed to be coming in this season? I thought she was the silver-haired girl? Well, perhaps this is her wearing a mask.
Also, this looks disturbingly like bones in a furnace--see the ribs? Is this a cremation or something? Well... I’m spooked.
Speaking of bones... someone is collecting teeth? Is... is there a tooth fairy themed Gotham villain? Or is this Zsasz or Strange or someone keeping trophies? Actually I’m not completely certain whether they’re teeth but I also don’t know what else they’d be. For the most part, they look too smooth, but the gold ones definitely look like false teeth.
On a less spooky note, look, a random child. While I have no more information about this beyond it being a random child, my heart is already saying that this is another orphan like Martin for Os and Ed to adopt.
And here we have Bruce presumably looking down at Jeremiah falling into the vat of Joker-juice... Either that, or this is before the fall and he’s just gazing down at the glowing green chemicals and brooding as Jeremiah monologues. It didn’t feel like there would be a lot of time for monologuing and brooding before the fight breaks out, though, so my gut is telling me this is post-fall. It’s an interesting mix of emotions on his face, to be sure.
And, lastly, I know plenty of people have screenshotted this without the frame and some have even giffed it, but I had to throw in this lovely Nygmobblepot moment :) Mostly I just wanted to say that that bit where Ed is confronting Oswald and he overhears that Os named his dog Edward is basically everything I’ve been hoping for from season 5. I laughed so hard while my mom and grandma were watching wheel of fortune. It’s not exactly the “not you, we named the dog Edward” exact Pirates of the Caribbean parody I was hoping for, but it’s darn close and I’m deeply excited to see the rest of that scene.
Aaaaa you guys, Gotham season 5 is almost here!!!!!!!!!!! *screams fangirlishly into the night*
Ooh okay so I’ve been thinking, and hear me out. I know Spike has adapted and become pretty thoroughly modern and Punk Rock and all that, but never forget that, as a human, he was a Victorian gentleman. So, I like to imagine that every once in a while, he does these random little Victorian things, like sending Buffy a truly weird Christmas card like one of the above or wanting to tell a spooky Christmas Eve ghost story.
Granted, in life, proper little aspiring Romantic Poet* William said he didn’t like to discuss “dark, ugly business”^ such as the “rash of disappearances” that had been going around town (spoiler alert: the ones caused by the vampires that were soon to turn him, but I digress) so maybe that suggests he wasn’t the biggest fan of the Christmas Eve ghost story before his turning--although it’s also possible he simply wasn’t big on true crime (nor the people telling it, since they often made fun of his poetry) but he was still down for a spooky story enchantingly spun on a dark night by the fireplace; I know we don’t get a ton of pre-turn William--but either way, after becoming a vampire and thus becoming into Dark, Edgy Things, I’m convinced he would have loved a scary Christmas Eve ghost story, and I like to imagine he carried that forward with him even after getting into the Ramones and Nirvana and hair dye. And whatever Passions is; I should really look that up. Huh, I guess it’s basically just a soap opera. But in any case, we know the guy likes to tell a good spooky story, like that time when Dawn comes to visit him and he’s regaling her with his own gruesome exploits, so we know he has a talent for suspenseful tale-telling. Even after getting his soul back, I don’t think that storyteller aspect of him goes away (although he probably prefers fictional stories to his personal history now).
So, one year, Buffy gets a Christmas card with an illustration of Santa stuffing a kid into his sack or frogs falling on ice, and on the back there’s an invitation to Christmas Eve ghost stories in Spike’s crypt (does he move back into a crypt? I’m just into season 7 now and he’s living at Xander’s at the moment but I do still picture him in his crypt) and anyways I miiight have to write this fic now if I can get around to it. As much as I love punk rock Spike, I still want him to be a little Victorian sometimes :)
*I know he’s technically from after the Romantic Era proper--he was born shortly after it ended if you take Wikipedia’s end date of 1850 and consider that he was I think 26 when he was turned in 1880 (which is firmly in the Victorian era)--but I still feel like Romantic Poet is what he was aspiring to be.

P.S. Along these lines, I’ve also been thinking about whether Spike would go Christmas Caroling. I do very much doubt that soulless vampire Spike ever would, but I’m fairly confident that pre-turn William would do it happily; so, my question is, would now-reensouled Spike be willing to go caroling, or would he still be too Edgy? These are the real questions about Buffy’s soul lore we should be asking, haha.
They’re so cute and so fluffy :) And the colors are so bright and also did I mention how cute this is? I love it! <3

Me, far out of my Whovian depths, scrolling through Killjoy stuff: Hey this artist’s style reminds me of Johannesviii.
*Sees whose art it is*
WAiT a SeCoND!
*whispers: they’re e v e r y w h e r e *
Anyways I am glad they are having a nice, restful nap. They definitely needed it.
The Killjoys can have a little nap… as a treat

The other night I had a dream that there was a hot new parody of the song Lump by Presidents of the United States of America. Tragically, I don't remember any of the parody lyrics beyond the chorus of "she's Lump, she's Lump, she's Lump" being replaced with "he's Trump, he's Trump, he's Trump".

Jonathan, you're such a nerd. I love you.
So my dad posted some old pictures of our trip to Hawaii on Facebook and I just realized 10 year old me leaning on a tree wearing a bucket hat being an explorer and Milo from Atlantis wearing his granddad’s pith helmet have the “same energy” as they say.
That is to say, we both wore funny hats too big for our heads, round glasses, and went on adventures :)
(Milo image source--also I didn’t read all of that but what I did read has some pretty cool info on Atlantis. Side note, with all these live action remakes they’re doing lately, how awesome would a live action Atlantis be!!)
Welcome, dear traveller, to our fantastical lande shrouded in swirling violet mists. Here we study how stories shape our lives, how words weave wonders before our eyes. Here we are enamoured of love and the connections betwixt people. Here we seek daring adventures in our wild lande, delving into the unknown at every turn. But mostly, here you'll find my obsession with any number of things, like Doctor Who, the Vampire Diaries, or any number of others from the ever-shifting tide of obsessions through which I cycle. My more-used sideblog is blagueofchaos if you ever wish I posted more :) She/her, 28
