I'm a background artist working in Vancouver! I worked on Star Trek: Lower Decks seasons 2-4, Carmen Sandiego seasons 1-4, Rick and Morty season 4, and My Little Pony: The Movie. Right now I'm working in games at Klei Entertainment!

Hey, if there was a Buffy situation in the Avatar universe where the Avatar dies but only for like a minute before being revived, could there theoretically be two avatars running around the world

SHAKESPEARE NEVER CONFIRMED IN THE TEXT, ugh, fine, you win this round taylor swift

Does it say in the text that Laertes is older than Ophelia?

I’m intrigued by their ages today. Ophelia is definitely treated like she’s younger & less experienced in the world, but that could just be because she’s a young woman 😒

If it doesn’t say that he’s older I’ve gotten myself in love with the idea that they’re twins. It makes her funeral close to unbearably sad. Although Will would have likely mentioned it, as we know he loved twins. Anyway! I love it.

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

I am at Sloth's parents house for the long weekend. His mom is playing us an audio version of Yevgeniy Onegin, roman v stikhakh by Alexander Pushkin in original Russian and says even if we don't understand it, we will appreciate it.
