Is it Friday already?
Carhenge video was great.
the famous art miniatures are incredible. i absolutely love them
LOVE the fanfic thread!
– “Fic gives your brain space to focus entirely on the characters.”
– “And this is why many people who discover fic stop reading other stuff. Once you find the genre you prefer, you tend to read a lot in that genre. Some people love mysteries, some people love high-fantasy. Saying you love “fic†really means you love this character-driven genre.”
That’s it!
Also I was, “?????!!!! Prince Philip a badass Disney prince?????!!!!” Then after clicking the link… “oh, not our Prince Philip….” LOL
Oh Chaos… your mom needs to give you treats. Or tuna.
I do love those action figures.
