a little early for 426 Day but; remembering the first time I saw Alien and Aliens in this really NICE theater room on the other side of East Quad

except to get back to my dorm room I had to go through the basement which was this maze of narrow corridors with exposed pipes and old washing machines. Years later they apparently made the place look less like where you could get pulled into the ceiling by a hungry xenomorph, but I definitely was ready to PUNCH something all the way back to my room.

Wolverine! Grew up in the wilds of CANADA fighting deadly Canada geese and vicious Timbits before the EVIL GOVERNMENT took his memories and made him even more indestructible! Marvel's biggest badass, it's not like other X-Men grew up in a concentration camp or anything like that!

misophonia is when you have an irrational strong hate for soybean paste

I'm at this weird point where I can intellectually accept that who and what I am is actually okay, but I still don't believe it emotionally.

Danny Elfman's Best Movie Scores? oooh, let's take a look, let's see

Dark Christmas
Dark Circus
Edward Bathands Returns
Headless Alice
Spidey's Big Top Adventure

King Louie singing to Mowgli about how he wants to be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town cause he's sick of monkeying around

hits different when you've actually READ Jungle Book and Mowgli literally cannot shut up about his species dysphoria

it's THE MUPPET SHOW with our special guest, HATTORI HANZO!

wait, you're saying nobody can find him? uh...

to introduce our guest star is what I'm here to do
so it really gives me pleasure to introduce to you

ladies and gentlemen, MISTER ILYA REPIN!

oh yeah, listening to Meatloaf sing about his 8th Generation Brujsferatu with four dots in Auspex

he would do ANYTHING for love, except broker information to the Sabbat in return for untraceable assassinations. Of COURSE he won't do that!

colored a #drawing today

I don't know why - recruiter calls probably - but my mood freaking plunged through the floor

one two three fo

SPIDER MAN SPIDER MAN
DOES WHATEVER A SPIDER CAN
IS HE HOT? HE CAN BONE YA
BY TRANSFERRING SPERM PACKETS FROM HIS OPHISTHOSOMA
LOOK OUT
HERE COMES THE SPIDER MAN

Danny Elfman's gravestone will say;

here comes that awful feeling again
welcome the ugly animal
I hold my breath to watch you swing
my high rope acrobat ball and chain
I'm not afraid
I messed it
messed it
messed it
messed it up

I've got my telescope head in the haystack
I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act
put pepper in my coffee
I forgot to bark on command.

....

this monster in me makes me retch
I messed it
messed it up

look it's Pesach, blasting the opening of The Mummy Returns and enthusiastically yelling HAKHU MASENTE while waving an imaginary khopesh is SEASONAL

(even if that was Old Kingdom and Passover stuff is New Kingdom flavored - there's a weird archaeology story about that)

SOMETIME IN THE LATE 1990s

"okay, so the first movie had a half-decayed priest returned as a nearly unstoppable death machine wielding potent magics. What'll get people into theaters for 'Mummy II'?"
"what if we explore our heroes mythic origins?"
"eh."
"what if they're a heartwarming family who adventures together?"
"family friendly. Sure."
"what if you had smokingly hot people of EVERY POSSIBLE GENDER?"
"hm."
"kids like steampunk and undead pygmies?"
"okay..."
"what if you had an UNDEAD ARMY OF ANTHRO JACKALS as an excuse to do a Lawrence of Arabia fight?"

*slams the YES rubber stamp down on proposal*

You know. The last place that required a follicle drug test, I was working on aerospace industry stuff, and apartment paperwork in Bellevue is a lot less about potential safety and national security. So that REALLY turns me off, passing on this job listing.

possibly stress, possibly barometric pressure spawned little anxiety spike woke me up, this suuuucks

*clicks on FA link*

well, time for the furry cockworship theme tune.

"one of these has to go" meme but it's all popular fantasy misconceptions, like "chain/scale/banded/plate mail," arming swords as "long swords," wearing a shield with plate armor, really immense coldbloods as destriers, etc.
