“I live in the north of England, I’m used to freezing cold temperatures”

Oh honey.  That’s what the pilgrims said.  They mostly died.

please please listen/read the transcript to Neil Gaiman on NPR’s Wait Wait Dont Tell me because he talks about this and it’s wonderful!

Here’s the main piece:

SAGAL: Why did you move from England, reputedly cold and dreary, to the upper Midwest? Was England not cold and dreary enough?

GAIMAN: Nobody had really explained the whole cold thing to me.

SAGAL: Really?

GAIMAN: Yeah.

SAGAL: It was a surprise?

GAIMAN: Well, no. I was arrogant. I was foolish. The English thing where you think you know it all, I thought I understood cold. I thought, okay.

SAGAL: Oh yes.

GAIMAN: Water gets white and fluffy and it falls from the sky. Puddles go hard and slippery. That’s cold.

SAGAL: No problem.

GAIMAN: I did not understand the acres, the depth.

SAGAL: Right.

GAIMAN: How much colder it can be. I didn’t understand what it means to walk out of doors and take a deep breath, the hairs in your nose freeze and you go, “Oh, it’s a little below zero.”

SAGAL: Right.

GAIMAN: And then that thing that you do when you walk out and you take a deep breath and you cough because it hurt and you go, “Oh, 25 below.”

#true#apparently in American gods when shadow moves to the Midwest and almost dies because he’s an idiot and doesn’t understand how cold works#that was a self insert about NG moving to the Midwest and not knowing how cold works

yeah as a lifelong wisconsinite, i had never really seen my state truly represented in media until that scene the first night in wisconsin when shadow tries to walk somewhere at night and nearly freezes to death

there is a not insubstantial scene in the book where shadow winterizes his windows and i absolutely loved it

neil was definitely traumatized by moving to minnesota

Coming back from the fucking grave just to tell y'all that yo

Henrique/Armando is an idea I could get behind Bv)

for maximum Drama i want there to be several murder attempts before Ed and Stede get back together in s2 but for maximum comedy I want them to be willing to fall back into each other’s arms immediately but they keep being prevented by one of them accidentally bringing up something that makes the other SO mad. they’re about to kiss when Ed mentions how lucky it is that Lucius is a good swimmer and stede, after carefully asking why, loses his mind. they’re planning a raid and holding hands when Ed says they have plenty of room for new books and stede goes where did you say we have room for new books?? they’ve successfully gotten past stede abandoning Ed and they’ve gotten as far as Ed getting his shirt off when stede decides it’ll be cute to tell him when he knew he was in love, and Ed goes “your WIFE had to tell you?? do you kiss all your friends on the mouth. would you run away to China with Oluwande if he asked”

Summer haters are like “idk why people statistically feel better and happier when the weather is warm and the sun is out I personally love feeling like I’m one lost sock away from hypothermia.”

“Spock only committed mutiny twice” statistic factually incorrect, Spock only PROVABLY committed mutiny twice but actually did so many more times and WILL do it again if necessary. That is a threat

I’m watching this reality show with my brother that’s like a blacksmithing competition and some of these people look exactly like you’d expect blacksmiths to look and others look like the person in movies that blacksmiths would kick out of the tavern.

Is it Forged in Fire? Because if it is I totally agree.

It is.

There are 2 types of people in this world: blacksmiths and also blacksmiths but they don’t look like it

The funny part is that sometimes it’s the guys that look like blacksmiths that are actually the ones that get sent home

Well it takes more than just a pretty face to forge a knife you know

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS, but also my family relentlessly mocks the host for being painfully masculine in a seemingly performative sort of way, leading to my dad begging me to make this image:
