New Smiling Friends episode is absolutely hilarious.
Like actually. It’s just funny gag after funny gag. Got me laughing from start to finish.
The story’s also pretty fun, if anything else.

Good news: I’m catching up to the shows I’m watching so I can talk about them without worrying about spoilers!
Bad news: Wicked For Good is already out in many parts of the world, so spoilers are everywhere.
Bluesky once again remains a safe haven from such troubles, haha…

Yo, this is great!
I’ve actually been looking for cool Tolkien art stuff or fan merch recently, so this thread’s a lifesaver!
Look forward to check out some of the stuff here; I’ve already spotted some neat things to treat myself for the holidays (and maybe even my birthday)!

Finally got to watch the new Smiling Friends episode, and I thought it was great!
Squim’s a really fun character and I love how various animation styles were used to complement the story. The comedy was also top notch.

Even though they’re cousins and Frodo calls him “uncle,” I always liked seeing Bilbo as Frodo’s adoptive father.
He loved and cared for him, and even helped prepare him for his grand quest.

The spoilers just keep coming.
Not just for The Royal Family but also for Smiling Friends!
I think I really need take the ‘camping in Bluesky’ thing more seriously now.
But all the seiyuu content! 🥺

Just peeked at Twitter and damn, the Uma Musume voice actresses are commenting about the new episode (no spoilers though). 😫
I’ll probably be camping here exclusively for the next few days since I gotta avoid spoilers for this week’s episode of The Royal Family that’ll no doubt be out and about on Twitter.
I’ve got presentations coming up this week, so I gotta attend to those first!
