I dunno, if it's treated the way George MacDonald Fraser treated Harry Flashman, I could see it working. Here is a complete oaf. Let's torture him as he fails upwards and convinces himself his own stupid luck is in fact skill.
I do not want Gaston backstory, I do not need Gaston backstory, I reject Gaston backstory
he is a fully formed oaf, consuming eggs by the dozen in one of the greatest villain songs ever written, and that is all we need of him

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I watched the movie adaptation of Wicked for the first time three days ago, and then watched Wicked: For Good today. I have thoughts.
I was originally going to share these in Tumblr, but instead thought I'd come here where even less people will see it.

Fully agree that if you're writing for an adult audience, just write fuck. If you're writing for a more general audience though, I think you should write #@&%!!
Reading British comics as a kid, guessing which swearword fit the context was a key part of my developing literacy and critical thinking.

I went to @argonautbooks.bsky.social yesterday and walked out with a reasonable number of purchases. This is the third time I've paired @tkingfisher.com and @chucktingle.bsky.social while shopping there, so I guess that makes it a tradition?

Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says
My name is Pagliacci, Clown of Clowns. Look on my works, ye doctors; I despair.

I need to tidy my bathroom because it has way too many squeeze tubes. One of these days I'm going to end up brushing my teeth with antiseptic cream, I just know it.

A few years ago while on vacation, I met a doctor who at the end of his shift would stop at the hotel bar to unwind and he would always ask for an Almond daiquiri.
This, in and of itself, was weird because who ever heard of almond daiquiris, but apparently the liqueur for it exists! Anyways…

The temptation to write a treatment for a zombie movie, but it's reply guys...
If you see people having fun discussing horror movies, don't do this. It's not witty. It's not helpful, and it's certainly not original. At best, it's INCREDIBLY annoying, and at worst, it sounds like you're shaming someone for daring to not think about politics 24/7. Either way, you're an asshole.
