ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

*clicks play in morbid curiosity*

*hammers reblog button*

I think I find this post every April Fools Day and I am so happy that I do

the best way i can think to describe the experience of reading moby dick is you’re in line at the dmv and this guy behind you very loudly says “well who HASN’T had a gay experience” and then proceeds to tell you every detail about his life in between anecdotes about how great sperm is and how ropes work and sometimes he’ll say the most poetic shit you’ve ever heard in your life and them jump RIGHT back into explaining how a whale is a fish because 1) it swims in water and you’re still only like halfway through the dmv line

There’s lots of talk out there about working through trauma via dark fanfiction. I’m not saying anything against that - there’s nothing wrong with it. But I do think there’s an unfortunate implication being made in a lot of those posts. Accidentally or not, the implication being made is that trauma is the reason people enjoy dark content. That there needs to be a justification at all.

Guys, trauma is not the only reason to enjoy dead dove do not eat content. You don’t need trauma to justify liking it. You don’t need anything to justify liking it. You can just…like it. I get the point of those posts is to stop people from harping on others when they might be digging into said trauma, or harassing others for their coping methods, which is definitely wrong - but let’s be clear in our intent and not alienate people that are just here for the fun of it. Let’s not make people think they need a reason to enjoy what they do.

You don’t need trauma to justify liking dark things. You can just like it and if that’s all there is to it, that’s perfectly okay.

Four to beam down, Mr Scott!

This is is possibly the coolest Star Trek TOS fan art I’ve ever seen!

No, but seriously, where did this come from? Who is the artist? Where was this taken?

It’s an art installation at the Microsoft office Studio D in Redmond, Washington, made by Devorah Sperber. It’s made of 75,000 beads.

this shirt probably went hard in ‘82 but now it goes hard AND it goes a little horny too

I don’t watch Star Trek really but “Competitive emotional suppression with probability assessment and observation skills” is the most Vulcan leisure activity I can imagine. 

[Redacted] Reunion

Hey, did you know we were doing this?

So, once upon a time I worked for a comedy website and sometimes it was good and sometimes it was bad and sometimes it was Great. There are way, way too many things that fall into the “good bucket” to remember or name right now, and the things that fall into the “bad bucket,” have honestly, blissfully, been mostly forgotten. So I won’t talk about those two buckets. But, one of the things that lives in the “Great bucket” is a show I got to make with my friends where we sat around playfully arguing with each other about movies and TV shows. It’s a little internet show I made with my friends that was seen by… some amount of people, and one that people still ask me about, three years after its last episode aired and (almost exactly) ten years after its first.

I’m not going to name the show— the show I did with After Hours’s Michael Swaim, After Hours’s Katie Willert and After Hours’s Soren Bowie— in part because I don’t want to run into any legal trouble by talking about a property I do not own, but also because I think being coy and sneaky is fun. Suffice it to say that Jack O’Brien (no relation) and I (relation) made a night time pop culture show with our pals and had a blast doing it.

A thing that is obvious to anyone who followed this show is that it ended, somewhat unceremoniously, when a bunch of nice people and also me all lost their jobs without warning. A thing that might be less obvious is that a soft series finale was actually written (and filmed) for this show. An episode where Katie, Michael, Soren and I get together to talk about pop culture one last time and say goodbye to each other (and, uh, you, I guess).

That episode never aired and there was subsequently never a plan to air it. Everyone went their separate ways, willingly or unwillingly and that, all assumed, was that.

But now it’s the present, where people are using their platforms big and small to try to make the world a better place and we thought, maybe, with everything going on, this might be a good time to use our platforms to read the series finale of Aft[Redacted]r H[Redacted]rs to raise some money for charity.

The details are in that flier. We’re going to read this script live on Twitch this Saturday and answer some questions from you, the audience. It will be free, but we hope that you donate anyway. It will be available on YouTube after and forever, in case you miss it (follow any of us on Twitter and we’ll tweet out the link when it’s available).

The warmth from the fanbase and community that sprouted up around this unnamed show was more surprising and incredible than anything else I’d experienced, before or After. Ours was a supportive community of spirited weirdos who could always be counted on to watch the show, travel to come see our live performances and occasionally stop us on the street to shout “Hey, I know you! CollegeHumor, right?” We hope you’ll join us one last time to say goodbye and hopefully raise some damn money to make the world a little less worse.

The script was written by me (though everyone contributes to every script) and the rest of the team was kind enough to allow me to make it as long as I wanted it to be. It’s about friendship and endings.

Data will be like “I know a spot” and then raise his eyebrows innocently and point at his cat.

Anyone have the link to this version it is not on youtube and want to share it

It’s on youtube now:

I re-watched Hellboy yesterday and the whole Liz/Myers side story is so hilarious to me. Like you can tell Guillermo del Toro was like “I’m required to shoehorn in a hetero love triangle because it’s 2004™ but jsyk I’m not gonna spend an ounce of effort on it”

Studio execs: “look we got you this baby face white boy to add some tension in the romantic sub-plot”

Guillermo, an intellectual:

This perler was a pain to make but the results are fantastic! The template was made by @quarksbar
