Folks. Once again I come asking for help with my quest for a particular picture that I'm sure I originally saw on Tumblr.
The photo showed a person wearing a bear costume (similar to the one shown here). They are standing on a sidewalk in front of a small, white church, with a wooden cross in its front yard. They are holding a portable television.
Something about the scene reminded me of Seattle, where i lived in the mid '80s. A street sign was visible in the photo. After some searching I was able to confirm the location of the church. That was the end of it.
Now I am back in Seattle after many decades. I began thinking about that picture, and that it might be fun to visit the spot. But I couldn't remember it. And I can't find the original photo anywhere, either on Tumblr or the web at large.
After exhaustive searching on Google Maps, I am now 99% certain that the original location is what is shown in the first two photos above. It is currently called Trinity United Methodist Church. Some years back it was called Crown Hill United Methodist Church. The address is 8500 14th Avenue NW, Seattle. It is located in the Ballard neighborhood.
If anyone knows of the original photo, please let me know. Thanks.

A kind of banalisation of celebrity has occurred: we are now offered an instant, ready-to-mix fame as nutritious as packet soup.

Excuse me while I dip into another fandom, but here’s an imagine I can’t get out of my head thanks to this beautiful human:
Words: 0.1k | Fluff / Yandere Vibes
Imagine you’re the new nurse at Hawkins Lab, and Henry takes a shine to you. He’s intrigued by you. You seem to genuinely care for others’ wellbeing, including the kids’, and including his.
When you confess to him that you’re feeling lonely and unable to adapt to the isolation of laboratory life, he sneaks into your room after hours. It becomes ritual, him sitting on the floor beside your bed, gently singing as he strokes your hair until you fall fast asleep.
“Dream a little dream of me, doll.”
The world might be a cesspit full of lies, but Henry wants to keep you from being corrupted by it. Whatever it takes.
~°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°~

With music playing such an integral role in S4, I remembered that Jamie Campbell Bower played Anthony in Sweeny Todd and now I literally can’t get the idea of Henry/Peter singing beautiful but eerie songs out of my head, especially Dream a Little Dream of Me, since that was playing on the radio when he finished off his family. He’s a monster with an angelic voice 🥺

finding that note from pre-lobotomy durge in the illithid colony and then meeting Gortash for the 'first' time........ is it my taste or Ballast's that sucks. don't answer that. it isn't a slut playthrough if you aren't really committed to digging them all out of the grout between the narrative's tiles.

To my child's eyes, which had seen nothing else, Shanghai was a waking dream where everything I could imagine had already been taken to its extreme.
