Syd's Tumblr

@themagnificentsquid / themagnificentsquid.tumblr.com

Hi, I'm Syd, giant nerd, shipper, and fangirl extraordinaire, love books, tv, and writing. I'm hopelessly in love with The Magnificent Magnus Bane, Jem Carstairs, Camille Belcourt, Lin Bei Fong, and the list goes on. Not really sure what I'll do with this Tumblr, probably write things and reblog the hell out of anything that strikes my fancy, which seems to be largely comprised of a mixture of Lin Bei Fong and Mary McDonnell with some Tony Denison binges thrown in every once in awhile. Well, I think that's all. Have a nice day, and may you not be murdered by your feels.

I know this isn’t a fan fiction update, but I am so excited I can’t help but post this professional accomplishment to my writing blog! 

A short film I wrote called “Cull” won best film in our category AND audience favorite at the San Jose Short Film Festival. I was so lucky to have such a great team led by an incredible producer Victoria Nunez and visionary director Jeff Akau. 

I had such a blast working on this and was so impressed by how it turned out. Everyone did an amazing job! Go team Hyde Hooligans!

Noirbnb….like Airbnb, minus the racism.

Black people inspire me everyday, the world gives us shit and we take it and turn it in to something beautiful.

Yooooooooooooo!!! I will be using! Lit!

Support my bro Stef and Noirbnb. For real. Not even saying that because he’s my homie. That’s a legit business and it’s for us!

FYI: They changed the name to Innclusive.

…If this post is gonna continue floating around and people really wanna support them, they should know that most likely they will not find noirbnb but they definitely WILL find Innclusive.

After many hours of research. I present to you what I believe to be the growth and maturation of the angry potato!! That fat tiger cub has a name and I believe it is Topan! (He has a brother named Jaya and a sister named Kasarna and they look very similar :O)

Born and raised at Chester Zoo in the UK and now residing at Park du Reynou in France! 

LET IT BE KNOWN YOU CAN BE AN ANGRY POTATO AND STILL BECOME A MAJESTIC BEAST!

so i have also been doing research into this grumpy boy, and i think it’s v possible that this is jaya, not topan.  the sole basis for this is that when i asked Paul Wiggin, the photographer of the early pics, where this boy was now, he said that he was at Manor Wildlife Park after being born and photographed at Chester Zoo.

Not to be extremely weird but Jaya and Topan were photographed on the same session/day, I believe this cub is Jaya:

Here are photos of the same cub a month later, he is the only cub photographed this session

And here is Jaya as an adult:

I believe if you compare the facial markings you will agree that the original grumpy potato is Topan :)

this is the photo that Paul Wiggin said was the cub that ended up at Manor Wildlife Park, which would indicate that this is Jaya.

This is a slightly different photo from the ones that you posted. I think it is increasingly possible that Jaya and Topan were both grumpy potatoes.

That is the same cub as the original potato (Topan IMO), and way here is my evidence:

I’ve just been staring at these tigers for a long ass time so lol, I could be wrong but I’m pretty confident. (they were both angry potatos though yes)

i’ve been on tumblr since 2010 and this is by far the most high stakes discussion i’ve been a part of. i must figure out who the grumpy round boy is/became so that i can plan my pilgrimage accordingly.

you should definitely visit both if possible since europe is relatively small >w< ty for having tiger talks with me
