Or it's just, y'know, got a flat battery.

But it's definitely possessed.

Battery's fine. The hour hand just won't lock into place, so it flies around every few minutes.

In other news, my mom got some 'feminine body wash' for Christmas. She just asked me if it will also work on men.

Ice mining.
Don't question it too much.

It has precedent.

Wait, Fox and the Hound was bad?  I remember it being really good (and sad).  Are my nostalgia goggles that clouded?

It was great. But then, I'm one of the people who had rose-tinted glasses thick enough to make me remember the Disney animated Robin Hood as good.

Frozen was pretty good though, yeah. It was also the sort of story that would have been interesting to see develop in a different genre, because that cryokinesis was seriously horrifying for something in a nominally children's film.

Also this. Ice was a trade good back in the day, since refrigeration was basically "stick it in a buried pit with some ice".

Oh yeah I know, I was talking about why it's at all relevant in the film. Not that I'm saying it was particularly relevant, but it was a high point of the whole thing.

Unpopular Disney movie opinion: I liked Hercules, Atlantis, and Treasure Planet.

So I was thinking about the implications of DF's blood rain, both on critters and on the mysticism of the civs.

-For one, you'd think there would be more blood sucking insects and whatnot.
-And more critters willing to tear into a dwarf to get at blood.  Or is that less, because the demand is much lower for it?
-The blood would actually nauseate what didn't drink it exclusively.
-Presumably the smell would be terrible, as old blood dries and rots, but on the ecosystem level, this would be a massive influx of energy.  Drinkable and nutritious blood is falling from the sky like mana!  The food web must be diverse and healthy, ironically.

-If blood can be generated so easily by the Earth, is it really as sacred as in literature?  Would it still be the life-force and essence of a man?  Or would another, less present fluid/organ be attributed with it?
-Tying the dichotomous nature of the creatures living in evil biomes is always a headtrip down racism lane.  What does raining blood say about the civs that live in it (to the dwarves)?  What do the creatures who live in it think (about it and the dwarves)?  Hell, in the high fantasy world, isn't racism a good thing?  Its very much real, definable, and distinguished; and in DF at least critter are scientifically different species.  Not halfbreeds here.

-Is the blood tainted?  Is it 'healthy' blood, as if taken from elves on clouds and wrung from them?  Part of me likes the idea of elves being wrung out like wet washclothes from clouds onto the mortal plane.
-Whatever else, its interesting to note a world run by Armok, a chaotic god, instead of the God of Time or what-have-you.  What effect does his domain (blood, and apparently forging) have on the world and the mechanics of it?

So much . . .

Hercules was good, Atlantis I don't remember enough to care about, Treasure Planet was the one about re-creating Earth?  It had a distinct 2000s tone to it.

That's an unpopular opinion? Everyone I knew likes the first two, at least.

[miauw62]

Armok weeps every time an elf is born, and that becomes the blood rain.

[EnigmaticHat]

What brought that on?

[flame99]

I didn't like Hercules, haven't watched Treasure Planet, but both I and almost everybody I know likes Atlantis.

In an attempt to extort me, some bitch attempted to file a complaint that I touched her inappropriately....


What I want to say but am too closeted to say:
I only like men! I'm NOT straight!

Jesus Christ honey, I have never even wanted to be with a woman, have never been with a woman and will never ever ever be with a woman. If it comes down to me and one female to repopulate the earth then the fucking species is going extinct. If I ever was gonna be with a girl then it sure as hell wouldn't be your nasty ghetto ass. Also your outfit is atrocious, sweetie YOU DON'T MATCH, and that purse doesn't go with anything except a dumpster. Lose the purse, or better yet burn it, because if you lose it you could find it again. Burn that fugly thing!

I am never doing another pro bono case as long as I live.

^I love this post. So, so much.

To Truean's post:

[Spehss _]

1. Nice gif. Saving that for if I ever need sass.

2. Don't quote Truean, broskis. Or at least don't make the quote link to their post. They prefer to not be quoted, it's in their sig.

[Sirus]

People, please don't quote Truean's post. She doesn't like it.
