No one has every asked me to be Sailor Neptune in a group costume despite me dying my hair this colour for FIVE FRIGGIN YEARS and I think that's really hurtful 🥲
TNG did sex pollen on the SECOND EPISODE OF THE SHOW -- I just think that Barbarella, from her world of love, would actually fit fine in the universe AND ALSO in DS9 they go back to TOS and they're all done up 60s style so that's cannonically the aesthetic of Kirk's era JUST SAYING IT FITS
HEAR ME OUT Barbarella X Star Trek crossover fanfic 🚀 I just can't decide if she'd arrive at DS9, or be stumbled upon by the Enterprise ...
I just read Book of Night by Holly Black & damn, this fucking rules. “Hyper-competent-but-ethically-dubious woman tries to pay rent but ends up fighting demons“ is my favourite genre and this might be one of the best examples 🤩 They used to have fishnets on the covers but times are changin’
Also I need everyone to know that when I use this emoji 😌 I’m specifically referring to the contrived enlightenment of “girl who is going to be ok”
This is now tied with His Girl Friday for my favourite screwball -- and it's pre-code so it's way sexier. Peter gets the titties out & Ellen flashes them gams! 🥵 It's also the reason Bugs Bunny eats carrots all debonair like??? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Happ... archive.org/details/it.-...
At 36:39 in It Happened One Night, Clark Gable mounts a chair Riker-style, and this is very important to me specifically
I'd wear hot-girl-spots every damn day but I fear the world could not handle the menace i'd become
Cute lil screencap of my actual heart rate during this game HMD is my cardio
Happy May Day/Beltane/International Workers' Day/Floralia/Calan Mai! Celebrate the hope that comes with the first bloom and a riot for the 8-hour work day 🌸 Kiss a flower and light a c̶o̶p̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶ *bon* fire!! 💋
Farewell, internet. I will be offline for April -- away from the scroll, frolicking in the forest. If you need to contact me, I will periodically check my email at annethegnome/at/gmail.com. Or you can whisper your thoughts into a mushroom circle. I'll hear.
I’ve started making lil collages inspired by books I read, just using Shuffles, but I think they are fun and I wanted to share
Firefox has this little button on the right of the address bar and if you click it, it changes to "reader view" -- and makes the internet actually bearable. Livid I'm just learning this now. (also I made this recipe and it was good)
and while you wait, you can watch previous panels! 10 absolute bangers, if I say so myself! A crash course in all things TTRPG, game design and AP www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Unfolding Practice: Reflections on Learning and Teaching by Azru Mistry and Todd Elkin A double-sided accordion book that shows a conversation charted like a sprawling geography over 56 continuous "pages" Imagine a visual, flowing layout 🌊 digitalcommons.risd.edu/cgi/viewcont...
World without end by Julie Chen A triangulage book with angled, swirling text on the pages (found maps) and pop-out strips, that spins on an axis suspended a metal rod on a crescent-shaped, wooden stand to form a diamond-shaped globe. JUST THINK ABOUT IT 🤩 www.si.edu/object/world...
Plinitude, by M.L. Van Nice Pulling material from Pliny the Elder's Naturalis historia in a format that almost looks like a curiousity cabinet, with hidden doors and windows all over I'm imagining a game with layered voices examining conceptions of nature www.si.edu/object/plini...
A hypothetical analysis of the twinkle in stars (as told by a child to a teacher) by Katherine Ng This is a large wishing star (lucky star) folded from a single strip of paper with writing on both sides. It contains 5 smaller wishing stars. A journaling game??? www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/c...
Gold rush a multi-page serigraph by Jill Timm This book is reversible book made out of criss-cross cutouts (called a flag book structure) so that you see something different depending on the angle of perception A social deduction game, perhaps? collections.si.edu/search/detai...
Glimpse, by Barbara Tetenbaum and Julie Chen Pages of envelope sleeves with miniature square window cutouts, and no sleeve with the same cutout pattern. Think of how pulling an unseen card, with only that glimpse as a hint, could be used in a game! mcbaprize.org/barbara-tete...
What’s Happening With Momma? by Clarissa Sligh A free-stranding accordion book that looks like a house, with text that spills out of the windows Imagine this as an intimate haunted house game 🏚️ clarissasligh.com/themes/memor...
