On Being "The Erudite Scholar"
I could’t judge a man without knowing him personally, but when I make and post assessments of our favorite lanky English boy, I can’t help but feel this indulgent surge of pride when the fandom grabs one and holds it up as a good example of what it means to really want to understand him.
I can’t manage to figure out my own damn head, but apparently I’ve got someone...

The Dream 1984 Headcast
Winston Smith- Stephen Merchant
O’Brien- Andrew Scott
Still need a Julia, but I am terrible about ever managing to care about actresses.

Smerch 1984 What the hell
I can just hear him in my head right now, yelling “DO IT TO JULIA! Not me! I don’t care what you do to her!” just totally at his wit’s end, completely cracked and near tears.
What the hell is wrong with me.

Weird Thoughts
Steve said he’s not much on acting, but for some reason, I’d really love to see him play Winston Smith in another film of 1984. Completely serious. No gooning around or cracking wise. Just straight up, hangdog victim of totalitarian oppression.
Don’t ask me why, this just keeps… popping into my head.

I’ve seen a lot of Steve’s recent interviews, and I’m starting to understand what it feels like to be a walking sight gag. No wonder he’s pissy.
That “Want your three inches” thing was pretty golden though.
It reminds me of the pickup line that I will never, ever get to use-
“Mr. Merchant, I once dated a guy who’s 6’3”. I figure,...

I have a question for the Stephen Merchant fans.

This is a genuine question, so please don’t take it as aggressive or anything like that.

Well, I can sort of take you through my experience with the guy as an explanation.

My new vacuum cleaner came today and it is a fucking BEAST. Sucked several months of neglected dust and impacted lint out of an area rug like a black hole. It sounds like a table saw when I put it on the floor setting. I bet this thing could strip paint.
I have never been this excited about a HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE before.
catbountry asked: ONCE UPON A TIME LYRA DECIDED SHE WAS GONNA COME TO OTAKON THIS YEAR AFTER ALL AND NOT BE A BIG FARTY BUTT GAY.
Anonymous asked: The feeling was not unpleasant. Warm to the touch, with just enough texture to make things interesting. She shifted on the cushions and reached up to touch its shoulders. His shoulders, she reminded herself. If she was going to do this, she had to think of him as a person. His design made that somewhat difficult to believe, as he was a rather simple, geometric interpretation of a human body. His...
A story (From Ms Slothrop)
I don’t know if this is the kind of story you meant, but this is the story I’d tell if I ever got to be in the red chair on The Graham Norton Show by some remote chance. Also, this is the longer version. I’d never get it out if I told this version out loud.
When I was about five or six years old, my favorite store at the closest shopping mall was a toy store called...
Tired. It’s been a long day. Going to bed for much needed rest.

Plans Plans Plans
My dad told me to look into London sightseeing and touristing destinations so he could pick a hotel in either Kensington, Hyde Park, or Mayfair. I’m leaning towards the latter two because they’re closest to the Palace, Westminster and the Clocktower…
But basically what I’m trying to do is actually commit to a game plan, and not just sit here giggling at Google Maps views...

Con and On and On
In further positive things to think about, I’ve been recently offered accommodations to attend this year’s Dragon*Con. I’ve been an Otakon regular for several years now, and while it’s produced some great memories, I think I’m starting to outgrow the demographic. It just might be time for me to try out a NEW summer convention. I actually ran into one of my fellow con...
Straight Outta Psych Ward
Well, I’m home again, thankfully I was not deemed a risk necessary for overnight monitoring.
I was largely terrified during the majority of it, but me being frightened in hospitals is far from new. I must say that I appreciate the new layout for the ER they have now. The one I was in five years ago for palpitations was more like a dropoff plaza for a war-zone/butcher shop. This one’s...
Anonymous asked: I was wondering if you were on the Steve Merchant live chat, I'd love to see your questions to him
Checked. Stabilized. Cleared. Psych appointment in March.
I am moving forward.
Moving Forward
Called out from work, now I have no excuse for not going in.
Now to try and stop waffling over whether to go to the Walk-in Clinic or the ER
Well. Just when I was starting to have second thoughts and considering reneging on the plan for tomorrow (today?), I just got a reminder of why I need to go and do this thing.
I am ashamed of myself for being this flawed piece of talking meat, but I’d be even more ashamed if I wasn’t able to claim my dignity back again from forces that I cannot and will not ever be able to control....
SO MANY INVOLUNTARY INPATIENT HORROR STORIES
SO MANY
I don’t want to be locked up I just want to be fixed and normal.
Oh god.
Guilt and shame
I have to go to the hospital tomorrow to do something about myself, but I am fucking TERRIFIED that I’ll be detained. Terrified, humiliated, guilty about missing work, just. Augh.
I know I have to go, but god I don’t want to be locked up like some sort of Girl Interrupted.
Fuck all of everything in creation. I can’t take this anymore. I’m going to the hospital tomorrow.
Someone fucking run me over with a cement mixer.
Do it. Don’t ask questions.
Just flatten me into the fucking pavement.

“Ha Ha, you’re right, people in THAT fandom sure are weird!”, she said nervously, while slowly covering up her sketchbook with her arm.
Am I just THAT old and cranky?
Or am I not the only one who hopes the fad of “action shaky camera” technique fades out really soon, especially in animated media?
I’d really prefer to see shit clearly as it happens than an imaginary implied cameraman freaking out while recording, in order to inject an artificial sense of urgency.

lithefider replied to your post: On “Sexual Freedom”
oh god what are they doing NOW
I think this reply alone is just a great way to sum up what it means to be a woman trying to assert her bodily freedom nowadays. Just that wince of preparation for yet another series of blows to the crotch.
On "Sexual Freedom"
I have a hard enough time trying to have sex AS IT IS, I really don’t need the GOVERNMENT adding another whole layer of difficulty to it, Jesus Christ.
