“i love loki and mobius’ friendship. […] i find it very touching. […] loki is a very defensive, very self-isolating [character]…and mobius is very confronting. because mobius is calm, and warm, and level.
and he confronts loki with, […] a- a sort of presentation of who he is without judgement and with compassion. […] they have a great — it ends up being a great rapport. they have an affection for each other and a -and a respect.
[…] yeah, loki and mobius’ friendship evolves from the fact that they learn a lot from each other about each other. and i think it’s really real. i think there’s a lot of love, and care, and affection there. um, it’s very sincere and…presents something new for loki, i don’t think he’s ever had a friend. before. um.
I'm watching to the first episode of Earthsounds and I have a lot to say about Tom's choice of narration style, but he's describing the lyrebird and its attempt to attract a mate, right? The bird goes through a series of very interesting sounds, segues into a dance with grand plumage, and then, as Tom says, "But only when she gets close, does he reveal his grand finale..."
And the bird makes this wild sound, like, Atari video game type sound.
And Tom says, with extreme gravitas, "...the laser gun."
I laughed so hard I scared my cat. The sound itself is already kind of silly but to hear Tom call it what it is--a laser gun sound--so seriously was too much for me. 😂 I can tell this series will be well worth my time.
The wildly popular email newsletter that has been described as an "internet sensation" (The New York Times) and "the coolest book club on the internet" (Fast Company) is breathing new life into Bram Stoker's classic vampire novel. Now, the internet phenomenon can be experienced in this deluxe hardcover book that includes hilarious commentary and artwork from Dracula Daily readers.
Thanks to Dracula Daily, the email newsletter that delivers the classic vampire novel in bite-sized chunks, "an old story about the undead is getting a new life" (NPR). Combining Stoker's original text alongside reader-generated content, this version of Dracula is a fun and immersive experience, perfect for vampire scholars, Dracula Daily readers, and newcomers to the story.
Inside, you'll find a rich selection of artwork and memes from the newsletter's hundreds of thousands of subscribers. From comics celebrating Dracula's famous wall-climbing ability to armchair analysis of the novel's complicated love triangles, the witty commentary and colorful fan art brings a unique twist to the classic tale.
OK, so we need a remake of “Disney’s Robin Hood” (yes the one with foxes, but please no creepy CGI) solely so we can have Tom Hiddleston voice Robin Hood.
Because I have decided I would like that very much.
the natural result of being very prone to crushes and also intensely private is that everyone who knows me well associates me with a different few blorbos, and almost none of them overlap
