Mads the new Danny series chapter was so so perfect, I was swooning and cooing the entire time, I love him so dearly.

Also, in regards to the comparisons I've made between your Danny and the real life Danny, when I spoke to him he was very sweet, attentive. And he made a lighthearted joke where it sounded like he was fishing for compliments, not in a cocky way though, you know what I mean?

And when I read the first chapter of FWAAF, Danny blushing and kinda fishing for compliments when sunshine and him talk about the band reminded me so vividly of when I had gotten the opportunity to speak to him.

Also, totally understand that this is your fic and I by no means am attempting to intrude, but when I gave him a hug, he was so muscular, and he smelled wonderful. His hug was sturdy and he just barely lifted me off my feet as I was already standing on my tiptoes, his curly hair was against the side of my face and it was slightly damp because I assumed he had just recently showered. You could feel his smile and he had hooked his chin over my shoulder. Perhaps you might like to include an interaction between Sunny and Danny inspired by my time with Danny, I figured it fit relatively well with the fluff and softness of your fic.

Love you Mads *kisses*

Thank you plenty for tagging me in the most recent installation.

i'm so glad you're liking four weddings!! i've loved working on it, and it makes me so happy to know you like it.

i ADORE that the danny that lives in my brain shares some cute characteristics with real life danny. that makes me all mushy gushy and lovey dovey. oh my god.

and UOHGDHJSJHG HELP ME??? THE WAY YOU DESCRIBED HIS HUG???? i will SO be thinking of that when i write danny and sunny, and i love that you got to have that moment with him, and oh my god just the thought of a danny hug is making me want to cry. help.

#i love you!!!! i'm so glad you like four weddings <333 #vi #four weddings besties #maddie talks to friends!

Roswell incident

The Roswell incident is the 1947 recovery of balloon debris from a ranch near Corona, New Mexico by United States Army Air Forces officers from Roswell Army Air Field, and the conspiracy theories, decades later, claiming that the debris involved a flying saucer and that the truth had been covered up by the United States government.[1][2] On July 8, 1947, Roswell Army Air Field issued a press release stating that they had recovered a "flying disc". The Army quickly retracted the statement and said instead that the crashed object was a conventional weather balloon.[1]

The Roswell incident did not surface again until the late 1970s, when retired lieutenant colonel Jesse Marcel, in an interview with ufologist Stanton Friedman, said he believed the debris he retrieved was extraterrestrial.[3] Ufologists began promoting a variety of increasingly elaborate conspiracy theories, claiming that one or more alien spacecraft had crash-landed and that the extraterrestrial occupants had been recovered by the military, which then engaged in a cover-up.

In 1994, the United States Air Force published a report identifying the crashed object as a nuclear test surveillance balloon from Project Mogul.[1][2] A second Air Force report, published in 1997, concluded that stories of "aliens bodies" probably stemmed from test dummies being dropped from high altitude.

Conspiracy theories about the event nevertheless persist, and the Roswell incident continues to be of interest in popular media. The incident has been described as "the world's most famous, most exhaustively investigated, and most thoroughly debunked UFO claim".[4]

The city of Roswell, New Mexico has capitalized on the event; the city's official seal now features a little green man while the city contains countless ufology attractions, events, statues and iconography.

Events of July 1947

The Roswell incident occurred amid the flying saucer craze of 1947.[5] On June 26, media nationwide had reported civilian pilot Kenneth Arnold's story of seeing what became known as "Flying Saucers". Historians would later chronicle over 800 "copycat" sightings that were reported after the Arnold story was published.[6]

On Saturday night, July 5, 1947, rancher W.W. "Mac" Brazel made a trip from his remote ranch to town, Corona, New Mexico.[7] The ranch had no phone and no radio, leaving Brazel unaware of the flying saucer craze of the prior ten days.[7]

As a result, it was not until Saturday night that Brazel connected debris he'd found three weeks earlier with the flying disks in the news. The debris – tinfoil, rubber, and thin wooden beams – had been scattered across a square mile of the ranch. Brazel previously had gathered it and pushed it under some brush to dispose of it.[7]

When Brazel heard stories of silvery flying discs that Saturday night in Corona, he decided to gather up his prior find. On Sunday, July 6, Brazel dug out the debris and on Monday, July 7, he took it in to the sheriff's office in Roswell. The sheriff called Roswell Army Air Field, which assigned the matter to Major Jesse Marcel. Brazel took Marcel back to the debris site, and the two gathered up more pieces of rubber and tinfoil. Marcel took the material home on Monday night.[7]

On Tuesday morning, July 8, Marcel took the material to his base commander, Colonel William Blanchard. Blanchard reported the finding to General Roger Ramey at Fort Worth Army Air Field (FWAAF). General Ramey ordered the material flown to FWAAF immediately. Marcel boarded a B-29 Superfortress and made the flight to FWAAF.[7]

audio icon ABC News radio broadcast on Roswell disc

On July 8, 1947, RAAF public information officer Walter Haut issued a press release stating that personnel from the field's 509th Operations Group had recovered a "flying disc", which had landed on a ranch near Roswell.

The many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc through the cooperation of one of the local ranchers and the sheriff's office of Chaves County.

The flying object landed on a ranch near Roswell sometime last week. Not having phone facilities, the rancher stored the disc until such time as he was able to contact the sheriff's office, who in turn notified Maj. Jesse A. Marcel of the 509th Bomb Group Intelligence Office.

Action was immediately taken and the disc was picked up at the rancher's home. It was inspected at the Roswell Army Air Field and subsequently loaned by Major Marcel to higher headquarters.[8]

Decades later, Roswell radio announcer Frank Joyce recalled contacting Haut by telephone to verify the release. Recalled Joyce: "I said 'Walter, don't run this story. If you do, you're going to be in trouble. They'll ship you out to Siberia." I remember mentioning that, that was a common phrase in those days".[9]

As soon as Marcel brought the material to General Ramey's office, both Ramey and his chief of staff Colonel Thomas Dubose identified the material as pieces of a weather balloon kite.[7] The FWAAF weather officer on duty explained to reporters that such "ray wind" devices were used at about 80 weather stations across the country. The balloons were attached to a six-pointed reflective device that looked like a silver star. After launch, the balloon expanded with increasing altitude before bursting around 60,000 feet with pieces then dispersing in their fall to the ground.[7]

As described in the July 9, 1947, edition of the Roswell Daily Record:

The balloon which held it up, if that was how it worked, must have been 12 feet [3.5 m] long, [Brazel] felt, measuring the distance by the size of the room in which he sat. The rubber was smoky gray in color and scattered over an area about 200 yards [180 m] in diameter. When the debris was gathered up, the tinfoil, paper, tape, and sticks made a bundle about three feet [1 m] long and 7 or 8 inches [18 or 20 cm] thick, while the rubber made a bundle about 18 or 20 inches [45 or 50 cm] long and about 8 inches [20 cm] thick. In all, he estimated, the entire lot would have weighed maybe five pounds [2 kg]. There was no sign of any metal in the area which might have been used for an engine, and no sign of any propellers of any kind, although at least one paper fin had been glued onto some of the tinfoil. There were no words to be found anywhere on the instrument, although there were letters on some of the parts. Considerable Scotch tape and some tape with flowers printed upon it had been used in the construction. No strings or wires were to be found but there were some eyelets in the paper to indicate that some sort of attachment may have been used.[10]

On July 9, Brazel told the Roswell Daily Record that the debris consisted of "large area of bright wreckage made up of rubber strips, tinfoil, a rather tough paper and sticks."[11] He paid little attention to it but returned later with his wife and daughter to gather up some of the debris.[11]

On July 9, Marcel explained: "[We] spent a couple of hours Monday afternoon [July 7] looking for any more parts of the weather device", said Marcel. "We found a few more patches of tinfoil and rubber."[7] That day it was reported that Brazel had reported the debris after hearing reports about "flying discs" and wondering if that was what he had picked up, then going to see Sheriff Wilcox where he "whispered kinda confidential like" that he may have found a flying disc.[11]

This is so beautiful, yet sad. https://youtu.be/2cXOwD8LW9E

Hey anon, thanks for sharing this! I’m familiar with Comic Relief because some artists I stan have participated in it and I know they have their annual Red Nose Day event, but I never knew about Max’s father having been involved in it! That's very cool. Did a bit of research and found out Richard Curtis who wrote Four Weddings and a Funeral is one of the creators of Comic Relief...and that made me connect it back to Max again because he and Jamie did a hilarious podcast rewatch commentary on FWAAF lol.

Okay, so I just binged Hulu’s Four Weddings and a Funeral and it was really good!!! My least favorite part was easily the infidelity (really hate that pretty much always) but that was a really small part. What I really loved about it though was that it wasn’t about the main romance. Like, the actual dating part is just sort of a montage in maybe two episodes. But it is about friendships and friends and loss and platonic! love and I really liked that. I was really happy that it wasn’t about the supporting characters all dropping their lives to help Maya but rather that it was a better depiction of healthy friendships (mostly). Everyone had their own lives but all made time for each other and their problems. I liked that they all watched love chalet to support Craig, and that Maya gave Duffy a chance and that Duffy gave Maya an out. And that they all supported Ainsley through her mess. I liked that Ainsley worked through her stuff from being left at the altar and in the end the happy ending wasn’t just about Kash and Maya (super cute tho), but about this great circle of friends not just staying together but growing stronger and making space for new people. It was a really cute story that had some fun twists and I really loved it.

Mindy Kaling really fucked me up when she wrote a funeral scene and had the wife of the deceased say, “I don’t know what I’m going to miss about him yet.” LIKE FUCK ME that shit hurts and it’s so simple yet so fucking true and I’ve been thinking about it non-stop for 36 hours.

Re: your Starstruck reblog. Definitely watch the show! They're only like 22 minutes long and very easy to binge 3 episodes in a row. Nikesh is very charming in Season 1. Season 2 was... not my favorite, but he was the best part of it. :)

fwaaf season finale

Omg omg I absolutely loved this episode!! So many feels and spoilers below. Obviously I think a few things should have been different but as a whole it was so great and justed capped off the show perfectly!!

Gemma and Duffy and their family were so freaking sweet and cute they made me cry. And while Duffy was still a bit of a weiner he was freaking hilarious. (I honestly think this was the funniest episode of the whole show)

Craig and Zara were really cute too!! I also loved the whole Caleb thing (is it just me or was that whole joke a New Girl shout-out?)

Tony got his citizenship! And him and Andrew just gave me a tooth ache!!

So I know Ainsley has been a right stroppy cow for a lot of this show but she was so funny in this and I really appreciated her growth by the end.

Quick shout out to Marcus! I loved him and the fact that he became Maya's campaign manager!! Sooo perfect!

Bashir and Fatima were super cute too I'm glad we got to see them one last time!!

Finally Maya and Kash!!!! So cute I'm glad they got time to work on each other. It was perfect!! Also Maya's last dress was freaking beautiful!!!!

All in all I really enjoyed this show!!!!
