James Arthur O’Connor (Irish, 1878-1931)

whyyyyyy

I had my hopes up for a six if crows spin off! and little naïve me thought that if there was a script, there would be a show...

NETFLIX CANCELLED SHADOW AND BONE AND NO SIX OF CROWS SPIN OFF!?!!! FUUUUCK!! I wanted to see them rescue Matthias SO FUCKING BADLY!!!! I NEEDED IT!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

This is why I don't trust any show on Netflix. They never finish what they stared and cancel EVERYTHING! I swear to god I'm never starting another Netflix show until it's all over and done and it's safe. Fuck this. I'm so mad.

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

ok so I came across a little malcolm bright fanfic (don't worry babes, linked below, go enjoy) and it began a lil bit of brain rot so hear me out:

(spoilers for the fic, go read it first if you want, commentary/word vomit bit is below)

ok so in this malcolm has a seizure disorder which Gil knows about, but not Dani. stuff gets figured out, others are updated etc. etc.

BUT

my lil goblin brain couldn't leave well enough alone so after like the third time reading this i've decided to pen (or rather type) these ridiculous things i can just about call thoughts

SO

let's set the scene, malcolm (yh for some reason my brain thinks the name looks better lower case? sorry if that bothers you but now it's slightly more symmetrical?) has a seizure while Gil and Dani are there.

(also not trying to romanticise anything, just going off what i got)

Dani and Gil are both used to the Complete Human Disaster™ that malcolm is so obviously they both know seizure first aid for future reference.

(also gentle reminder, if you don't know this go find out, there's like st John's ambulance videos that make you a functioning member of society in under 10 mins)

now, based on the confidence that each of them seem to have regarding the situation, they keep looking at each other like "huh, they seem to have done this before"

so they end up each thinking that malcolm must have epilepsy/a seizure disorder that the other knows about but they never got told.

they look after him, do all the things you have by now learned in helpful video format (wink wink) and everything is fine, right?

THEN

when malcolm eventually wakes up, and is told what happened he is understandably eloquent in saying "wtf, how, why etc." and his surprise makes them realise that for once he wasn't just conveniently leaving out information.

i feel like this started out fine and got slightly more unhinged and less logical as it goes on but if that isn't life i don't know what is

the point may have gotten a little lost and it petered out a bit but i said a thing and it's done so woo

January was a tough year but we made it

I have discovered that there is a scene in Retribution which I very much need to gif in order to communicate Thoughts™ I am having.

Must now learn!!! watch this space...

netflix really canceled shadow and bone before matthias could have any screentime in general and with any of the other crows in particular

so sorry king you deserved better

“It was an October night in 1940. We lived in Plaistow and were struck by a bomb when we were in our Anderson shelter. We were all buried alive. I felt my hand was free and managed to pull myself out. I saw my mother’s legs and began pulling her. I was calling out for help. There was a massive crater where my father and fiancé had been sleeping. My father was blown three houses away and my fiancé was in a nearby garden. My father was dead. I never knew what parts were in the coffin. My fiancé was screaming in pain. He, my two brothers, my sister, myself and Mum were all taken to hospital. My fiancé died. I went to Dad’s funeral, but Mum was away in another part of town in hospital, having operations on both of her legs. My fiancé was buried the next day. I went to that.”
