Hm, Interesting... Wasn’t There An Interview Where Robin Said That As Soon As Gotham Was Done Filming,

Oh I have a youtube notification wonder what it could be--

Oh My Chemical Romance -- they -- um -- oh -- new music. New music happened.

Um... It's good... It's really good... I'm...

*Explodes*

I was finding a lot of Moocow text posts in the Puppy Bowl tag but not enough pictures/videos of Moocow so I went to youtube and --

Teeny tiny Moocow!!

More pretty multifandom Christmas art :) 

Ooh, and 42 easter eggs? Challenge accepted. 

Okay so I don’t know all of these fandoms but I’m just going to go through the ornaments, top to bottom, left to right, and make my best guesses. I should put it below one of those cut thingies in case anyone else wants to play. 

1. Illuminati pyramid with a top hat. 

2. The One Ring

3. A tribble, perhaps? Or it could be wookie fur. Nah, I’m going with tribble.

4. Jack Skellington

5. The Death Star

6. I believe its name is Totoro?

7. Star Trek logo/badge

8. It’s not the right shape to be the Iron Man thing... Is this that from that Detroit Become Human thing people have been posting about? No, those robots have circles on their temples. Gah, it looks familiar and I’m probably going to be kicking myself later, but I’m not getting it. 

9. Deadpool

10. Sherlock--Moriarty’s apple

11. EXTERMINATE! DECORATE! WAIT! It’s a Dalek :)

12. The Starship Enterprise

13. The Golden Snitch :)   (Is that capitalized? It might not be capitalized.)

14. The Cheshire Cat

15. Na na na na na na na na Batman!

16. Anything hiding in Scooby Doo, aka the classic eyes in the bushes?

17. Okay so this is the hippo/horse thing that I didn’t know what it was last time I reblogged something from this blog, but upon scrolling further through this blog I learned it is neither hippo nor horse but is rather a “moomin”. 

18. In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit... Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, but a hobbit hole, and a hobbit hole meant comfort. 

19. Iron Man (is it two words or one, like Superman? Ironman?)

20. Hmm.... clearly a spaceship but I’m not sure which one. I’m thinking Star Wars. 

21. The “N” seems to go with the “R” and the “U” below it, spelling “RUN”... Oooooh it’s Stranger Things, I get it. My first thought was still “Run, you clever boy, and remember”. 

22. The Deathly Hallows

23. The Avengers’ logo. 

24. BB-8

25. Sherlock’s home address

26. Waffles, to go with Stranger Things in #21

27. I think that’s one of the Game of Thrones house logos--the “winter is coming” one? Are they the ones with the giant wolves? 

28. No-Face, which admittedly I mostly remember from Adam Savage’s cosplay. 

29. Hmm... um... The pufferfish from Finding Nemo?

30. Platform 9 3/4, of course. Train leaves at 11 o’clock sharp, no time for dilly-dallying.

31. R2-D2

32. The Elf on the Shelf? No, this one is less creepy. Is it the one from the Rudolph movie?

33. Definitely Star Wars. Is that Han Solo’s one, the Millenium Falcon? I think so.

34. I am (baby) Groot.

35. Mjolnir

36. The Tardis! 

37. Continuing the Studio Ghibli theme, is that the Kiki’s Flying Delivery Service kitty? 

38. The Polar Express lantern?

39. The Infinity Gauntlet

40. Captain America’s shield

41. A book on palm reading?

Oh dangit I’m one short. Did I miss one? How did I miss one? I’m still not seeing it--oooh wait, is it just the fact that there were 42 things, and 42 is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything? Okay that’s what I’m going with since I really don’t see anything I’ve missed. 42, the number of items itself is the reference, final answer. 

Well that was a fun multifandom quiz! I hope other people do it, too. I want to compare results. 

I wish you a very fandom Christmas! *_____* (It’s may be a little bit late, but anyway!) P.S. Can you find all 42 “easter eggs” on this Christmas tree?

Hm... it’s probably a tie between Lipton Island Peach Mango and Stash Coconut Mango Wuyi Oolong. I don’t mean to be plugging brands but those are just the ones I keep in my cupboard. I like it fruity and sugary :) 

I don’t use milk with those, but if I’m drinking a more intense tea, like an English breakfast tea, I’ll use milk with that. That’s relatively rare for me, though. Most of the time I just use as much sugar as can effectively dissolve... I’m using hyperbole but also not. 

tea drinkers rb with your fav type of tea and whether you drink your tea with milk or not

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!!)

The other day I was walking out the back door at work and a crow startled me and I can tell I'm far gone on the Vampire Diaries because, just for a split second, something in my brain went "Damon? Is that you?"

My gosh, these are beautiful. The color and the lighting are so delicate and the water is just glowing. I love how faint the ships coming through the fog are. Also boats are beautiful in general and this captures that, plus the water looks like candy in some of these. Lovely <3

ART HISTORY MEME; 8 artists: Ivan Aivazovsky [3/8]

Well... heck. My mom literally just called me and told me this was happening (”I know it meant a lot to you when we visited it, so I wanted to let you know”, she told me) and I just... didn’t really know how to react. Honestly, I opened tumblr to kind of distract myself, but then I suppose I am glad to know some more facts and specifics on exactly how bad it is. 

I did look up the video of the tower collapse, too. Wow. It does feel like a gut punch to watch. 

But I am glad most of the stone structure of the building should be alright. I was in first grade when we visited it, and I would love to go there again; I know you can’t exactly order a new church spire online, but hopefully they can get it fixed.

Thank you for the information. My prayers are with you.

notre dame is burning.

this is ok.

it has happened before. it will happen again. it has been lost before. it will be lost again. and again. and again. and again. art and architecture are transient, and temporary, and 850 years may seem like a lot to the individual, who will live maybe 100 if they are very lucky and very healthy, but even the pyramids at saqqara have only existed for about 6000 years and that’s still not all that much, if you consider the grand scheme of things.

yes, this is terrible. as someone who is deeply religious and literally a professional historian with a focus on art and architecture, this is terrible. im mourning. im gutted. im horrified and upset and miserable. but.

it’s not over.

victor hugo wrote hunchback because notre dame du paris was in the process of collapsing and falling apart, and revitalized the entire world’s focus and love for this church, and that was not even 200 years ago. it led to it being renovated.

the roof has fallen in. the scars of fires are on its buttresses. the rose window has fallen out. the beams and piers have collapsed. the spire has toppled. the stones have suffered, and will suffer again, but it is not gone.

renovation work is essential. sometimes things collapse and burn and break and have to come back. it’s not a terrorist attack, it’s renovation, an accident, but we have so much evidence, history, carefully documented everything on one of the most studied places in the world.

it’s not the end.

This is the pinnacle of art.

I mean, it spans the full range of emotion. Mystery and curiosity, struggle and anger, generosity and adorableness, it has it all. And what greater art is there than cats?

babies!!!

I recognize that it is most likely no longer his 41st birthday, but I do quite like this gifset.

*Googles his birthday* Ah, I see that it is in fact shortly after his 42nd birthday! I didn’t realize it was so close to mine. Heeey he turned 42 on the 24th--happy inverse golden birthday, John! 

Anyways I think I’ve been slowly becoming a Nerdfighter. I don’t know if I fully qualify as one yet but I’m getting close. It’s an awesome fandom name, by the way :)

Happy 41st birthday, John Green!

Thank you for being awesome!
