Hiya! Could you please tag the new Steven Universe stuff with "SU spoilers," "Steven Universe spoilers," or some other unique tag distinct from the general SU ones? I'd like to be able to filter new episodes out until I have a chance to watch. Thanks!

Oh dear! Certainly. Thanks!

I’ve had this bookmarked for literal years: eponymous-rose.tumblr.com/post/55024414414/super-quick-guide-to-reading-the-vorkosigan-saga-in

YAS!

shotfromguns asked:

Do you know of any good publication-order reading guides for the Vorkosigan Saga for someone looking to start from the beginning? The Wikipedia article is a confusing mess of novels, short stories, novellas, and collections thereof... Basically, I'm looking for the most efficient way to read as much of the series as possible in the same order as it was originally published. (It's okay if a short story or a novella ends up a little out of place due to being bundled with something else.)

I don’t know but I bet somebody does. Help!

Please leave that typo in, because “faxed to silver” is delightful.

IT CANNOT STAND

shotfromguns asked:

I used to think that Lady Christina was the most obnoxious companion in New Who, but then Moffat invented his own personal Mary Sue MacGuffin in Clara Oswin Oswald, and boy did she blow every other boat out of the water.

She seems tolerable with Twelve, but I hear she’s much more aggravating with Eleven.

Inre taking off shoes: This is less a "Canada" thing than it is a "snowy climate" thing. Here in Wisconsin, it's also common to leave your shoes at the door, ESPECIALLY during the winter.

That makes sense. I mean, God knows what you might track in… and there’s very little that’s less pleasant than stepping in slush with sock feet.

shotfromguns asked:

Inre: The Doctor's daughter grew up to play the Doctor's daughter, married the Doctor, and had the Doctor's daughter: I made the mistake of telling my mom this BEFORE the episode. During a touching scene at the end, she proceeded to add "and have sex" after every line.

shotfromguns asked:

Inre "minutiae": Was it "məNÜshə" (or "məNYÜshə")? Those are the most commonly accepted pronunciations. Because, let's be honest, sometimes actors do fuck that shit up. (I should keep a log.)

He said “meen-oo-shee.” It’s the right way to say it, I am assured. 

I’ve been saying “meen-oo-shee-ay” all my life.

Oh, the trials of people who read more than they talk!

(gra-tit-u-ous, peeee-dant…)

Jack and Ten’s conversation through the door when Jack is in the radioactive room is one of my favorite things in the entire show. Just FYI.

Pretty amazing. Well-written too. Well done, Russell T. Davies.

Yup. Sometimes a student (generally a senior student in a position of authority, such as a prefect) was allowed to perform corporal punishment against other students.

Dear God. Well, if you say it, then it’s so.

Yuck, yuck, yuck.
