@WelshPixie oooh, that's *very* pretty!
@cassolotl@cybre.space oh it hasn't happened yet? okay. phew. XD
@cassolotl@cybre.space OH IS THAT WHY I SLEPT UNTIL TEN THIRTY. or... did I actually sleep until eleven thirty? these things always confuse me...
@ThatDamnCat coffee and TV Tropes? :D
@Oneironott how many days will you be in Seattle? I hope I can arrange to meet up with you sometime too. :]
@kara@occult.camp @KaylinEvergreen@witches.town oooh, I haven't seen that, but Kubrick was a brilliant picture-maker. I'll keep an eye open for it, thanks. :)
it is way past my bedtime. gnight awoo. <3
@Elizafox there's a quote in my head, "every utopia is built upon a mountain of bones," but I've never been able to source it. I originally thought it was from Ursula LeGuin, which would make sense given she wrote "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas," but I can't verify it.
@kara@occult.camp @KaylinEvergreen@witches.town gawd yes that movie is terrible/amazing. beautiful and hideous...

Kudos to @Draekos for the awesome work (and for being awesome in general). Dragons have to hoard something, right? https://awoo.space/media/sJayqTsM_NyNgXxwoXg
@noelle I just listened to them again and I'm tearing up. that movie was so formative for me. :]

Did You Know: The original "Nightmare Before Christmas" intro was considerably longer, and there was an outro, to boot, read before the closing credits.
And both were read by Sir Patrick Stewart, in the original theatrical cut and on the soundtrack.
It's still not clear to me, 24 years later, why they changed it for the home video release.
@noelle I did, I had the soundtrack and memorized the longer versions, but I didn't know it was Sir Patrick Stewart!! now I'm trying to remember the whole thing, heh...

Schrödinger's Joke: a social media post that is "telling it like it is" until someone objects to it, at which point it's "just sarcasm, why do you take everything so seriously?".
@Jacel *sends internet hugs* :/
glanced out the window and saw one of the coyotes trotting around, sniffing bushes, being extremely wary. it disappeared before I could get a picture. it's not Scruffy, so I don't recognize it--possibly a yearling looking to establish its own territory; it's the right time of year for that behavior.
Paperclips game meta-narrative
@starkatt oooh, I didn't know that... *trots off to read article while letting paper clip simulator run*
@noelle "camel sparrows." that's... surprisingly apt. and also very strange to think about. XD
@Leucrotta YESSSS. the wicked priest draws out her ba (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_concept_of_the_soul#B.C3.A2_.28personality.29 ) and traps it in a vessel, and the hero must find the correct vessel and return her ba. I would love to see this! and I'm tempted to write it up as a short story now... ;)
