Talks about the structure of Glee and how it's not actually Dramatic Theater, but Epic Theater a la Brecht. Omg, this. is. perfect.

In which Artie keeps the Glee kids afloat through a lot of different methods (blatant trickery, ASL, sexual experimentation), but mostly through music and dance and /winning/. An off-the-wall (or maybe off-the-chain) S4 fic that's only crack in that Glee wishes it could handle this level of narrative mahem. Somewhere between the riotously funny revolving door of choir directors and the frank portrayal of kids who are disenfranchised by the world and determined to do something about it, I got whiplash from the gusts of awesome coming at me from every angle. And just as a note, Klaine is 100% preserved in this fic, despite the pairings listed. Just trust me, this fic's amazing and you want to read it.

Everything about this article is perfection. 

In which Lord Tubbington can talk...because she's Luna, and Brittany is Sailor Moon. HAHAHA, DEAD, SO DEAD. DON'T MIND ME, I'M JUST SAVING THINGS FROM THE GRAVE.

This is why, as much as outside approval can be so powerful, I am always wary of encouraging people to build self-image on it. People are fickle – it’s a lot like 1st grade when little fill-in-the-blank was your best friend one day and your worst enemy the next. Building your self-image on outside validation is like trying to pour a foundation in a swamp. It might appear to work for a little while but the first time a storm comes through…Outside approval is intoxicating. Posting a sexy picture online and getting a hundred approving comments can be an amazing rush – especially if you’ve never experienced positive sexual attention before. It’s hella fun. And I’d never tell anyone not to do that. But I’d definitely advise people to be cautious if that’s what they’re using to prop up their confidence, their notion of their own identity, their idea of their own worth and value as a person.

In which Donna Noble becomes King of Camelot pretty much through the sheer force of her awesomeness. Kudos, man, kudos.

The greatest recipe in the universe, now with helpful and hilarious sidenotes.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. I AM DEAD. DEAD, I SAY. I WILL NEVER BE ALIVE AGAIN.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. I AM DEAD. DEAD, I SAY. I WILL NEVER BE ALIVE AGAIN.

Danny and Steve are married. M A R R I E D. And this primer proves it.

Very busy VOMITING ALL THE RAINBOWS.

THE GREATEST FAVIDS EVER MADE. PUT ON REAL TV. HOW ARE THESE ACTUAL COMMERCIALS, OH MY GODDDDDDD.

Not actually Supernatural-related, but the resemblance is admittedly uncanny. Also, this is awesome!

Two spaces after a period is REALLY, ACTUALLY WRONG. Finally, I have proof for something that's always inexplicably bugged me! No longer must I continue to say, "because it just looks funny." YES. You have no idea, Delicious, how much this pleases me.

In which Sherlock Holmes may be completely mad, but Mike Stamford knows that John only appears normal -by comparison-. This fic had me actually slow clapping IRL while physically indisposed with laughter, it was just that amazingly cracked-out . I mean this IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. This was kind of like a crazy Star Trek/Sherlock fusion fic, in that uni!Watson is Starfleet!Kirk in EVERY WAY THAT COUNTS, except MORE AWESOME for being the DARK HORSE BADASS that he VERY OBVIOUSLY IS. To quote an anon comment, "HEADCANONEST HEADCANON THAT EVER FUCKING HEADCANONED!!!"

IT WOOOORKS.

In which there is the epic meeting of every Holmes and every Watson, Kate Beaton style! Amazing!

In which there are Old-Spice-themed Texts From Last Night! A meme match made in heaven!

In which Jensen is a voice actor in a Star Wars spin-off and Jared is the fanboy who meets him at a con. I CANNOT EVEN. THE GRIN ON MY FACE RIGHT NOW. THE LAUGHS I HAVE SMOTHERED SO AS NOT TO SCARE THE HOUSEHOLD. OH MY GOD, THIS FIC IS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT GOLD STANDARD PERFECTION. Which contain the lines: "On the bright side, you know where he works and his name, so you can stalk him."

"The actor stalking the obsessive Star Wars fanboy?" asks Jensen. "I don't think that's how this is supposed to go."

Jason pats him on the shoulder. "Defy stereotypes, Jensen. Be the creepier person in this relationship. I believe in you."

An epic epic fest.

"My thought is: 'Holy shit, these poor kids - they are filling the Labyrinth-shaped hole in their lives and they don't even know it!'

...not that Edward and Jacob and co would ever dream of jumping around singing and dancing with muppets, obviously - they're all far too cool for school and much too emo, as far as I can gather. But that whole adolescent fervour for a fabulous, otherworldly romance between a girl on the cusp of womanhood and the Really Quite Unsuitable powerful-and-sparkly older man with way too much hair product, who's all sexy and intense and kind of a powerful bad boy but totally undone by her? Yeah, okay, guilty as charged for fangirling the living shit out of that dynamic between Jareth and Sarah.

Only LABYRINTH IS A GAZILLION TIMES BETTER, obviously, because..." AND THEN PROCEEDS ONE OF THE AWESOMEST LISTS TO EVER AWESOME UP LABYRINTH EVER.

I cannot believe this interview exists. We have 1) Bradley talking about singing snatches of Once More With Feeling on set TO ANTHONY 2) discussion of whether or not Camelot is on the Hellmouth 3) the vampire craze 4) Colin's interest in True Blood 4) how shit England was at the World Cup 5) Arthur's lack of hugs as a child 6) The bizarreness of everything on the BBC roadtrip (!!!!!!) 7) particularly the CRAZY LEY LINE GUY 8) how Colin acts when he's worried 9) Bradley thinking Colin will want a break from him after the show because Bradley's around him all the time 10) Colin and Bradley getting their own reality show / comedy duo act. I HAVE NO WORDS FOR THIS INTERVIEW OTHER THAN AWESOME AND EPIC AND ANY COMBINATION OF THOSE TWO WORDS, AD INFINITUM.

EPIC. THERE ARE NO OTHER WORDS.

OH MY GOD, WHAT? LOL, AWESOME.

OH MY FUCKING GOD, LOL. I consider the squinty face Leo/bar scene meme offically won.

Worth it for Iroh alone. HahahahaHA.

OMFG DUMBIMPS DOING INCEPTION FANART MY LIFE MY LIFE MY LIFE IS FULL OF SHINY.

YES. THIS NEEDS TO BE IN MY LIFE.

YESSSSSS. AWESOME.

So perfect. The vidder is right, he kinda did. :')

OMG, AWESOME. I JUST. AHH. Kirk is a walking, talking Schoolhouse Rock god!

OH MY GOD, JGL, NEVER LEAVE MY LIFE.

Pretty much, yes, exactly.

I just. What is this? Other than gorgeous and totally amazing, I mean.

Airbender’s editing is clunky, its pace glacial. It feels like watching someone’s homemade tai chi highlight reel, if tai chi could be somehow racist. The script appears to have been run through Google Translate and back a few hundred times. Here are some words that M. Night Shyamalan actually wrote down on a piece of paper for actual professional actors to say with their actual mouths: “This time we show the fire nation that we believe in our beliefs as much as they believe in theirs.” “Wake up, young man. I am Commander Zhao. I set this trap for you.” “It’s led by a princess, because her father died.” “Bring me ALL YOUR ELDERLY.” “Again, I offer my condolences on your nephew burning to death in that terrible accident.”

Shyamalan, I offer my condolences on your career burning to death in this terrible accident.

HAHAHAHA. AWE-FUCKING-SOME.

"I ain't playing with you, Spock. Did you ever flashy-thing me?" hahaha

In which high!Sam faces off against Lucifer and wins with the power of hugs! I am not making this up. It's hilarious and really unabashedly sweet in addition to being pretty generally awesome. A+, thumbs up.

"DEAN: Cas, are you God? CAS: (o_o) No. But he just asked me to sign a "Team Free Will" t-shirt." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, spoilers for the finale.

HAHAHA, how the various episodes in season one would have been different if Zuko was shirtless in them. Some of these are comedic gold. "10. If Zuko had been in the Great Divide, the two warring clans would have stopped their fighting instantly and joined together in brotherly union to help build a shrine to Zuko's awesome shirtlessness. For the record, this would have ended better than the actual episode and you know it."

Hahaha, if Supernatural was a flat out comedy show.

There are no words for how amazingly funny these are. Imagine your best friend who is actually a brilliant student of mythology getting drunk one night and then telling you myths and legends over AIM. And then you get this blog. Amazing.

And it's also possibly the best show ever about the adult lives of nerds. The team of scientists who work with Booth (the token adult popular kid) and Brennan are successful, well-dressed, attractive, and brilliant, even if they still make Star Wars jokes, wear elf ears to holiday parties, and obsess over conspiracy theories. And unlike the leads on shows like The Big Bang Theory, they're also (with one notable exception) resolutely functional—enabled rather than crippled by the collective experience of their past social awkwardness and academic devotion. ... when it focuses on the slow-building, deeply felt sexual and romantic tension between the leads, the show surpasses its pop procedural origins. As they've navigated the attraction, fear, and friction that lead to their first real kiss, a dénouement that took 100 episodes to reach, David Boreanaz has revealed skills even Joss Whedon couldn't pull out of him over two entire series (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel).

Epic! There is very little more you can say about a 7 minute musical interpretation of the tenth doctor's reign. Very cool.

Hahaha.

A beautiful, beautiful story. "n i waz lyk yeah hold up lemme finish dis cinnamon roll." hahahahaha

Jack Sparrow is nasty. He is a mess that isn't hot. And if you don't believe me, let this epicepicepic hilarious picspam convince you.

Castiel wants Dean to cut the chit chat and get down to business. And by business, I mean business-time kind of business. OH MY GOD, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. DYING. LITERALLY DYING. Oh Cas, you bamf.

The machanics of a safecall are simple enough: safecall is an arrangement that you make to check in with a trustworthy person when you’re meeting with an acquaintance or someone new with whom you haven’t yet developed trust. Your trustworthy person should know where you’re going to be (specific addresses), who you’re going to be with (real names), and what time(s) you will be checking in. If you don’t check in, they’ll assume something has gone wrong and will contact the local authorities. It may or may not include a “silent alarm.” Courtny explains: For example, you could agree beforehand that “can you please feed the cat” means “‘I’m seriously afraid for my safety” and that “yeah, I picked up your mail” means “all clear”.

Kirk/Spock AU picspam with Spock as a Catholic priest and Kirk as his unholy temptation! My longstanding Catholic guilt caused me to not enjoy this quite as much as I could have, but it was still pretty epically hilarious even with my misgivings.

I've read about 6 of these and they're all amazing.

I will never be productive again.

Woah. This fascinated me for a good 15 minutes.

...you just have to wear what makes you happy. See my actual wardrobe versus my loved items on ModCloth for an illustration of how I live by these standards. It's nice to see them clearly laid out.

In which Dean and Sam get to go to heaven and heaven is more awesome than anybody could have imagined. MY HEAD. IT HAS EXPLODED FROM THE AWESOME. THE AWESOME IS THAT GREAT. IT IS A GREAT AND TERRIBLE LEVEL OF AWESOME.

Notes: This fic is stupidly, stupidly, ridiculously happy. I was just feeling really depressed about the whole situation the boys have found themselves in, and I wanted them to have some happiness. So I wrote this.
Summary: In which the Winchesters (plus Bobby) ascend into Heaven, Michael the archangel is Chad Michael Murray, John Winchester is BFFs with God, Sam does jello shots with Moses and Noah, Jesus beats Dean in poker, and God wants to know what the hell it is with the Winchesters and space bandits.

Woah. Stick with this game until it starts raining rainbows. A hypnotizing sight.

Dean and Cas' relationship in S4, recounted in chat/lolspeak.

DETAILED TO THE MAX. I am in awe.

A bunch of name/place/plot generators.

Auuuggggghhhh, these movies. I totally am a little teary just remembering. Because I am that much of a huge dork.

“I’m not especially vain. There’s an inevitability to thinking about yourself as an actor—you are your own raw material. But I can walk past a mirror without looking at it. I do glance in a shop window and I will go, ‘Shit, my hair’s looking flat,’ but the closer I get to having to go in front of a camera or on a stage, the more distracted I get from how I look. You just suspend that, or it freaks you out. There’s something reckless about going on.”
Bonus: "A Bloody Mary really can work wonders," says Elfie Semotan who photographed Colin Firth in London in anticipation of the actor reprising his role in the new Bridget Jones film. "Colin was lovely but hates having his photograph taken and only after his second drink did he start to loosen up."

THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING GAME EVER CREATED. Alllllways I wanna BE with you and make beLIEVE with you and live in harmony (HARMONY) oh LOVE~~~~!

Woah. The vid equivalent of those fics where there's unintentional memory transference due to the mind-meld. This was amazingly clever.

This is less a game and more an interactive time waster, but I kind of love it anyway.

Hell yes, you know it!

I have no idea how to save this, lololol.

AAAAAND this is why I love Ikea.

This was informed, informative, and side-splittingly hilarious. I approve!

!!!!! OMFG, I want that blue Ariel shirt kind of horrifically badly. Soooo sad these are not longer for sale.

DUDE. DUDE. AWESOME.

Adorable. I just. Hahaha.

AMAZING. I JUST. AMAZING.

I approve of this even more.

I approve of this choice selection of characters.
