Celeborn: What, did you miss me? Halbrand: You’ve got to be kidding me?! Celebrimbor: Celeborn, we all thought you were… Celeborn: That I was dead?! Yeah, for a minute there I thought I was too. Elrond: Yeah. Celeborn: Hey, what’s that often-used Mark Twain quote? “Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”

Any rumors you may have heard of my death were greatly exaggerated.

#:) #I know because I started them.

[greyias]

So it’s been a really long time but you’re name came up today when talking about an old SGA fic of yours called Wit’s End and someone mistakenly told me you had died and I was upset given we had talked so much back then. Then we realized they were mistaken and you were still posting. Anyway, I don’t know if you remember me (Tazmy) but I saw you had a tumblr and decided to wave and say hello.

Hope you are doing well.

TAZMY TAZMY TAZMYYYYY

Ahhhh! I could never forget you! I've been thinking about you so much lately, I'm so glad to hear from you! ♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎ I hope you are doing well!

(And also I guess I can now say the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. So there's that too! :D)

#i legit squealed when i saw your name on the ask #our giggly late nights at writercon are still a favorite memory #and the beautiful scribbled masterpieces of i think it was george(?) the turtle

[spicyvampire]

Can't wait for Izzy to come back all "the rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated"

#our flag means death #or however that saying goes #to me he isn't dead because i say so

The Price May Be Right - Number 13

Welcome to “The Price May Be Right!” I’m counting down My Top 31 Favorite Vincent Price Performances & Appearances! The countdown will cover movies, TV productions, and many more forms of media. Today we focus on Number 13: Dr. Phibes.

So, here’s a random fun fact for you Batman fans out there: apparently, this character was the inspiration for the version of Mr. Freeze that appeared in the seminal animated story, “Heart of Ice.” And, of course, that version of Mr. Freeze would become the inspiration for the character in nearly every other interpretation – both in and out of comics – to date. So, yeah, if you’re a Mr. Freeze fan, you can thank Egghead for it. :P ANYWAY…while Vincent did many, MANY horror movies – both serious and comedic alike – the one thing he never got was the chance to play a horror icon, so to speak. Which is to say, when you look at other great classic horror actors over the years, whatever else they do there’s always one specific character for whom they’ll always be remembered. For Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi, it was Count Dracula; for Boris Karloff, it was Frankenstein’s Monster; even with more modern actors, like Roger L. Jackson and Robert Englund, they have specific horror roles (The Voice of Ghostface and Freddy Krueger, respectively) for which they will always be most chiefly recognized. Vincent never had that; he never got that recognition of having a specific, classic monster he could be identified with. The closest we ever got was that he was so well-known for his work with the stories of Edgar Allan Poe, but that’s a bit of a different issue. However, in the 1970s, Price DID get a chance to ATTEMPT such a feat, in two films that were part gruesome, gory nightmare fuel and part witty, satirical humor-fests: these were the Dr. Phibes films. The titular character was a deranged musical genius, who wore a mask to hide his hideous skull-like deformities – all elements taken from the timeless tale of “The Phantom of the Opera.” However, the story of the good doctor is rather different: Phibes’ descent into evil began when his beloved wife, Victoria, was stricken with some unholy medical condition. In order to save her life, a risky surgical operation was needed, which was so tricky it required the aid of no less than nine people to even hope for a success. Unfortunately, something went wrong with the operation; as soon as he got the news, Phibes hurried in the direction of the hospital…but was ironically caught in a terrible car crash, and apparently burned to death in the wreck. Husband and wife were then interred together. The rumors of Dr. Phibes’ death, however, were greatly exaggerated. Phibes miraculously survived the crash, and later rose from the grave hideously disfigured by the accident. He brought his wife with him, and kept her body imprisoned in a sarcophagus filled with honey and special fluids, so that her beauty would forever remain intact. In the first film, “The Abominable Dr. Phibes,” the mad maestro goes on a killing spree, attempting to get revenge on the nine people he blames for the death of his wife and the ruination of his existence. In the second film, “Dr. Phibes Rises Again,” the musical maniac returns, now seeking to resurrect his beloved bride. The Phibes films were a bizarre sort of pair. In a way, I sort of see these as the precursor to both the Scream films and the SAW movies. Like the former films, the movies combine elements of parodical dark comedy with real chills and gory, brutal death scenes. Phibes, himself, is treated as a serious and tragic character, and the fear factor is upped by his appearance. The mask he wears to hide his deformities is basically just Vincent’s face with some uncanny valley makeup added to enhance the effect, giving Price a particularly ghoulish appearance. This combined with the special voice box Phibes uses to speak after his accident – which causes Price to speak in a robotic, mechanical, droning sort of way that is both odd and genuinely unsettling – makes the character truly chilling. At the same time, however, he’s a sympathetic villain, as everything he does is in the name of his precious Victoria, and while one recognizes he is the bad guy of the story, it’s hard not to feel sorry for him and understand his motivations. The methods through which he offs his victims are pretty messed up even by today’s standards, too. In all, I would say most of the scares from the film come from Phibes himself. The humor generally is the result of the other characters around him, as well as some the intentionally contrived elements of the plot that are meant to satirize various horror movie tropes. I’m a little surprised there weren’t more films in the Phibes franchise; if there had been, maybe Vincent could have had that one iconic horror character to be recognized by…but, on the other hand, one of the things that made Vincent so fascinating was that he wasn’t someone who could fit into a singular mold, so to speak, and instead had MANY roles for which any given person could recognize him for most keenly. Dr. Phibes was ultimately just one of those parts, but it’s a part well worth remembering. Tomorrow, the countdown continues with Number 12!

won't you sing me something for the dark, ch 5

rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated. thank you max and charles for doing something in real life so gay that i could have never in my wildest dreams written it in fanfiction

you know the drill. excerpt after the break

“I’m not hiding,” Max says. He’s not; hiding had been easy, before the thin fragile shelter had been blown away. Now he’s running. And he’s tired, he’s so tired of it, and he wants desperately to go back—Charles’ apartment in Monaco, the way light had come through the windows in the morning—but he can’t. The things he’s running from are waiting there to tear him apart along with all the things he loves. “I’m not-- I’m winning. Did you forget already what it takes?”

“Jesus Christ, you’re an asshole,” Lewis says, looking faintly amused. “Man, I haven’t forgotten anything. I know a hell of a lot more about winning than you do. Actually, I know more about almost everything than you do, which is why you should trust that I know what I’m talking about when I tell you that there’s a difference between making compromises and giving up.”

“I can’t—there’s no compromise.” Max feels a tightness high in his throat, curled under his chin, not panic but something like it—the idea of it is dangerous. And he wants so badly to trust Lewis the way he’d trusted Seb, weeks ago, and the way he’d trusted Dan, and Charles; he wants to believe that Lewis is right, because the other option is fucking shit. “Not with racing, not with winning.”

“Of course there’s compromise. There has to be, because one day you’ll stop winning.” He looks so tired. Not defeated, just weary; like he’s been working on something very, very difficult for a very long time, and he can see the final victory but knows, even after the long years of labor, that the rest will be a constant struggle too. “It doesn’t seem like it now, but you will. There will be someone quicker or hungrier or even just younger, and you will realize that none of this lasts. You can love it; you can give your whole life to it. But you can’t keep it. Do you have any idea how many things you’ll ruin if you try? It can’t be the only thing that matters to you. Eventually, it can’t even be the thing that matters most.”

#lestappen #charles leclerc #max verstappen #a million monkeys on a million typewriters could not have written something that gay and unhinged #the pretentiousness continues...

Not gonna lie so tempted to bring Trahearne's Malewife to the fashion competition in Lion's Arch, put a mask over his eyes, step out and say 'rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated', stand still for the entire duration and then leave.

"your alive?!"

@echolastofthedominos

Plo, for a brief moment tenses, before he relaxes and looks to Echo. "I am. The rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated...to my benefit." He smiles and walks over. "Corporal Echo of the 501st, or is it The Bad Batch now?" He smiles, goggles lifting as he opens his arms to the man.

Becky, I have a 'Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated' ask. How would each character react to discovering their was a rumour circulating that they had just met with a ridiculously splattery and unlikely demise? Let's say they were traveling with their love interest for less trauma.

Marion: Annoyed, but knows the truth will out when she returns, quite alive.

Robin: Gleefully plans his triumphant reappearance. Might even commission a theme outfit based around the death report.

John: Worried about the grief that the rumor will cause people who love him. Wants to return home immediately to set things right.

Will: Thinks it's pretty funny, wonders what he can get away with before the truth comes out.

Meissa: Yikes, if the rumor is spreading in Nibiru, this will cause major political issues. All sages will be given the primary job of finding the next awakened Great Sage, who doesn't exist because Meissa is still alive. This is going to be a major headache.

Alanna: Ooh, this could make for a cool ballad. Though why the heck would such a rumor be running around about someone as unimportant as she is?

Geoffrey: Immediately suspects that the rumor is part of a plot against him and sets about finding its source.

Gui: Immediately knows that the rumor is related to a plot against the Crown and sets about finding its source.

Prompt: Faked Death

Meanwhile, in the group chat:

Kouichi: Rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated >:D

Junpei: Again?!

Junpei: Why do you always do this? >.<

Junpei: One day you’ll die for real and we won’t even care because we’ll expect you to come waltzing back into our life like a ballerina on ice or something

Kouichi: Is that really such a bad thing? Wouldn’t it be nice to not have to grieve someone? :3

Takuya: So what was it about this time? Did you kill someone on the operating table? XD

Tomoki: That’s not fun to joke about!

Tomoki: ...but did you?

Kouichi: Nothing that exciting

Kouichi: Just tax reasons.

Kouji: ...how many countries are you banned from now?

Kouichi: *laughs* I think four?

Izumi: So where do I need to go if I want you to try my new recipe this time?

Kouichi: Not sure yet, might move to Norway?

Kouji: Norway’s expensive though, just so you know.

Takuya: What countries? Inquiring minds want to know!

Tomoki: Takuya just wants the latest gossip x3

Kouji: We never run out of gossip with Kouichi in the group

Kouichi: Canada, Italy, Japan and South Africa. I may be banned from China for different reasons though

Takuya: You are an absolute disaster

Takuya: Also could you teach me?

Junpei: No, no more faking deaths to get out of something!

Junpei: Not even the paparazzi

Junpei: My heart literally can’t take it

Kouichi: Sounds like someone’s planning to fake their death ;D

Junpei: I’ll fake /your/ death if you’re not nicer

Kouichi: I’ll call upon your services in maybe two years or so. Is it a date? ;)

Junpei: *shakes head* hate you so much

Kouichi: Any suggestions for cheap countries that need a doctor and won’t ask too many questions?

Kouji: I could think of a few cities in south america, depending on what you’re looking for. Europe is pretty much out for you, though.

Kouichi: *sigh* I hate living in modern society, too hard to erase your past

Tomoki: Did you remember to delete your facebook this time?

Kouichi: I forgot that ONE time…

Takuya: Everyone’s on twitter nowadays anyway, no one’ll notice

Kouji: I still don’t have it

Takuya: Fine, sorry. Everyone /important/

Kouji: I am going to murder you next time I come to Italy

Izumi: At least wait until after the party

Kouichi: Are you still having goodbye-parties whenever Kouji comes back home?

Junpei: It’s a nice tradition. You could have joined if you hadn’t decided that tax fraud was more important

Tomoki: Maybe I should move to Italy, I want to be there for the parties >:

Takuya: Italy needs more and better politicans :D:D:D

Izumi: As long as you’re fine collaborating with the maffia

Junpei: I hear Goncharov is trying to get a foot in

Tomoki: ...was that… was that a joke? Is Junpei joking? :D

Tomoki: That’s amazing!

Junpei: I joke all the time! It’s just too sofisticated for you

Takuya: If it’s sofisticated it ain’t jokes

Kouji: I’m turning notifications off until you start talking about something important

Kouji: Kouichi please stop faking your death

Kouichi: When you stop almost dying all the time

Kouji: Can’t hear you over the sound of notifications being off!

Kouichi: I need to catch a train anyway, see you all later!
