Since I am incapable of not spreading my hyperfixations like a plague… my dad has started listening to naddpod on his commute to work. And when I tell you he gets MAD like genuinely upset when Em, Jake and Caldwell do stupid shit. He is so invested and he hates himself for it. He will literally yell at his car. He sympathizes with Murph so much. He comes home and will rant about something dumb that Hardwon did or something impulsive that Bev did. The only character he respects is Paw Paw. Paw Paw can do no wrong.
We stan hobbit/dwarven idiots in love. Also, did you know if you say the word “Bilbo” a bunch of times in a row, it starts to sound like something else…? 😬😅 Link to the full episode below!
I probably should have been sharing here for years, because people on tumblr remain My People, but I’ve neglected to ever talk about the candles I make (cross posting is HARD, okay?)
But it’s black Friday, I’ve redone my packaging, and I’m proud of these candles! They're all inspired by the fandoms I've been in and they come in tins (safe for dorms and longer lasting) and votives (a perfect sample size). Each one is handmade by me and comes with art I've drawn.
The two above are for Our Flag Means Death!
Ed's candle smells like yummy lavender soap and the open ocean.
Stede's candle smells like orange marmalade and tea.
There are four candles for Good Omens, inspired by Aziraphale, Crowley, the bookshop and the flat
My other best sellers are The Magnus Archives and the Witcher. Jon's candle is a layered candle to symbolize his corruption by the entities. It starts with vanilla and gets spicier the longer you burn the candle.
I make fun shapes too!
Please go check out my shop on etsy! I'm currently running a sale, 20% off if you spend $30. I have a lot of options and can do customs if there's a character you don't see, or if you have an OC who needs a candle. They make great little gifts and are so easy to wrap.
Jumped way ahead in my Barbie movie review podcast because they also, presumably because of barbenheimer, reviewed every Nolan movie on the same feed. Which I largely don't care about because the only one of his movies I've seen is Inception, but I am listening to the Inception episode.
But one of the hosts just said "Rotating hallways aren't very special. High School Musical 3 had a rotating hallway in the same year." So true bestie. Inception and hsm3 are on the exact same level
We came, we saw…we read half a million words of fanfic for just this one episode! For our season four finale (!!!), please welcome our friend and incredible artist Evelyn Rogers aka @fishfingersandscarves, who has waited very patiently to journey with us through one of - if not *the* - quintessential Lord of the Rings fanfics ever written. There’s action, there’s intrigue, there’s betrayal...but, you know what? Love wins.
Tom is back with our next installment of all things Tolkien. This is, somehow, a whistle-stop tour of Lord of the Rings that is also almost 2 hours long. Great fun though!
