olivia coleman has become some sort of strange symbol of tv and movies to me because for whatever reason without me usually knowing it half the time when i watch something she is there and shows everyone else up
Even though the Blorbo Games DLC was a few weeks ago I still had the doodles I drew for it saved on my computer. I still kinda liked how they came out and since they were hidden behind a ‘read more’ link in the original post I think I’m just gonna go ahead and post them again for others to see before I delete them!
and then probably my favorite thing I’ve ever drawn so far
that simulation was a wild ride and I swear I’ll get to making Blorbo Games 2 eventually
Why are fanboys so afraid of women and BIPOC? Is comedy a dying art or do some comedians just refuse to evolve? And why is that doll dancing in that new M3gan trailer? We're reviewing She-Hulk, The Rings of Power, and Archer, as well as fighting fandom outrage, getting into the spooky season, and trying to figure out what exactly makes some a monster f*cker, for lack of a better term. Tell us your thoughts and join the fun!

'Some Sussex "Follies": Queer Towers and their Eccentric Builders'
‘Some Sussex “Follies”: Queer Towers and their Eccentric Builders’
Such was the headline of an article in the Sussex County Magazine in 1937. The author, William A. Bagley, was fascinated by the ‘strange towers’ that could be found ‘dotted all over the hilltops of England’. Revisiting some of the follies he described some 85 years later the Folly Flâneuse discovered that the towers have had differing histories: one is lost, some survive in much the same state…

What about more Bruce Wayne and daughter moments where he tells her bedtimes stories
A/N: Im going to put these into Headcannons
‿̩͙‿ ༺ ♰ ༻ ‿̩͙‿ ‿̩͙‿ ༺ ♰ ༻ ‿̩͙‿
Every since you were just a baby he made a habit of telling you stories before bed. Of course it started with nursery rhymes, then your basic night time stories and eventually up to even chapter books!
Like a way of bonding at the end of a long and tiring day. From being Bruce Wayne, a father and being Batman, having this time with you was always worth it.
Just a moment of peace in the mist of all the chaos
He also found it to be a great way to help you with reading skills as you grew up!
“…and so little red riding hood knocked on the door calling for her grandmother” he’d flip through the colorful pages “why don’t you read the next one sunshine?” He says
When you were just a few months old he loved the way you’d stare up at him. Wondering just what he was saying.
“Okay! Grandma, I’m here with a b-bas-bask-“ you struggle with the word
“Basket” Bruce whispered helping you out
“Basket, Full of treats!” You read feeling proud of reading the line
His favorite memory was when he was a bit swamped with work at home and you were around 9 or so and saw he was a bit tense. You brought in your book and pulled your chair next to him
“Do you want to hear about the book I read today papa?” You ask him
He let out a sigh and a tired smile “I’d love to sweetheart” he had to admit hearing you talk about the book you read put him at ease and lifted some stress from his heavy mind
As you grew up he felt just a bit saddened that you’d read on your own or even stay up a while to read. But there were some times where Bruce, you and even Alfred would sit in the living room and listen to you read out a novel.
It was like having your own little book club
“I personally think Judy was being too naive and should have seen through him from the start” you father commented on the book
“Yeah but she’s in love so you know, she’s trying to see the good in him and give him a chance you know!” You tried to argue back
“I believe we’re only 6 chapters in and let’s not forget about the shy young man form the bookstore. Surely he must be better” Alfred added in
Now there was one day Bruce remembers you had come home after a pretty bad day. You had broken up with your boyfriend, it had rained heavily that day and you had no umbrella, and you had a surprise exam that day. The day just wasn’t on your side.
Instead of going on patrol he had asked Dick to help him out just for the night. He had made your favorite snack, and brought it up to your room. Pulled out your favorite novel and tucked you under his arm for a good nights read.
“And so the princess had found the her knight and herself that day. The end” by the end of the book you had fallen fast asleep in your fathers arms. Feeling content and safe where you loved the most.
