Watching Jurassic Park and I have Opinions on this place as a zoo. Feeding the predators live prey?? There's other ways to provide enrichment! Also that enclosure is way too small for multiple large animals like that! Electric fences? Ha! Electric fences won't stop a fucking goat! Where's the zoo experts? Who designed these enclosures?? Were all zoos this shitty in the 90s???
I feel really bad when people follow/subscribe/like my (sometimes unfinished) stories from 2014 on ffnet. They had to dig DEEP to find those and while I’m flattered they loved them that much, I know in my heart those fics will never be finished and they’ll go unsatisfied.
Anyone ever have to take a break from Critical Role and take so long to come back that you can’t remember the last episode you listened to and now your overwhelmed with the sheer amount of episodes you have to listen to now? Because I did and now I’m hella behind and a little lost.
There’s an audio series of stories where each god gets a short telling of their story. For Hermès, there was a bit of dialogue that reminded me of this:
Apollo (Talking to Hermes’s mom): am I to congratulate you on a new baby?
Hermes Mom: This is your half brother.
Apollo: half brother? That’s an honor without being a distinction.
So yesterday I was driving home from work listening to Critica Role because it’s the only thing that keeps me sane in Houston traffic. And I thought to myself ‘I wish I had someone to talk to about CR because no one I know gets it.’
Lo and behold, I look ahead and see a car with a bumper sticker that says “The Traveler is my Co-Pilot” and as I pass them, the CR theme song plays out of window. We made eye contact and in that split second we had a mini freak out because we found someone that got it, even if only for a second. Then I had to take my exit and I’ll most likely never see them again.
Fucking wild, but it was one of the highlights of my week.
ok I have given it a lot of thought & this is what I think:
- a muppets adaptation of pride & prejudice should be called ‘Muppets, Pride and Prejudice’ (comma mandatory)
(I did consider ‘Pride and Prejudice and Muppets’ but like that’s been done)
- Darcy & Elizabeth should be human actors playing it very straight. Kermit the Frog & Miss Piggy are Bingley & Jane.
- Gonzo & Rizzo reprise their role as narrator/greek chorus from Muppet Christmas Carol. this means the film can open w Gonzo very earnestly reciting the opening line
(& then Rizzo being like ‘Gonzo what are you TALKING about’ and idk you could get a skit out of that whilst introducing the book and some of its context for younger viewers! it’d be good)
- major issue would be that Pride & Prejudice has a lot of women in it and there aren’t a lot of girl muppets unfortunately so all the men outside Darcy would have to be muppets in order for there to be enough muppet roles
- leaning towards Fozzie Bear for Mr Bennet. maybe Sam the Bald Eagle for Mr Collins? don’t know if any of the muppets are dickish enough to be plausible as Wickham so maybe he’d have to be a human man idk
the reason i like staying up late so much is because between the hours of 1am-5am, the world is quiet and no one expects anything from me. i could stare at my wall for 4 hours and there would be no consequences. it’s so silent and calm. i love it
