I Do Love This Quote; It Describes Them So Well. Their Relationship Is So Profound And Intricate And

I don’t know what it is about Geek & Sundry shows but I always end up shipping the thing that everyone else in the fandom says is meant to be purely platonic. First it was Percy and Keyleth, and now I’m having Jasper/Annabelle feels... halp. 

The more I think about Victorian Christmas traditions and Spike, the more I wonder whether this may’ve been a Christmas party. It probably isn’t, given the lack of Christmas decorations, and I suppose there are plenty of other occasions for which Victorians might throw a party, but I still enjoyed the thought of it being one as I imagined it yesterday. (Also, even if it isn’t one, I’m quite sure Mr. William Pratt would’ve also gone to Christmas parties, and they probably would’ve looked a lot like this but perhaps with a few more pine boughs and red ribbons.)

I also recently discovered this podcast from the Weird Christmas blog, which has fit well with the cravings for Victorian Christmas traditions Spike's awakened in me. I already talked about Spike and Christmas ghost stories, in this post and a bit more in my tags on my reblogs of that podcast on blagueofchaos, but another thing mentioned in that podcast was Victorians playing hide and go seek at a Christmas party. I would just like you to join me in imagining sweet little William the Bloody playing hide and go seek at a fancy Victorian high society Christmas party. 

I just... I really love pre-turn Spike and thinking about him and Victorian-ness and Christmas things. 

William “Spike” Pratt | Fool for Love (5.7)

I guess I wasn’t alone in wanting to see the Nygmobble-family doing Christmas together <3 Aaaah they’re so cute! Their happiness is just so precious. I love the flashing lights, and all the little hats they’re wearing--Martin even has one of those little crown things like British people wear for Christmas (which I only know from the Doctor Who Christmas specials, haha). Hehe and the antlers on Ed and the little origami penguins on the tree and... ugh it’s too cute and sweet. I love it so much. I just want them to be happy and together as a family, and whether or not it turns out that way in the show, I’m grateful that that future exists in the fandom. 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! :D

I never realized that cat memes had a recorded point of origin in history! These pictures are not only fun but also historically significant :) I learned something today. Thank you, Mr. Pointer, for your wonderful contribution to our society. 

My gosh, the quality of fanart never ceases to amaze me! His eyes are so pretty and the lighting is beautifully done, and beyond that, it does a great job of capturing Klaus’s emotions; the whole thing just aches. 

I’m really glad Netflix recommended Umbrella Academy to us. I’d never heard of it before, but it was definitely an interesting story and it’s always fun to happen on to something good right as it becomes popular! I mean, I love a good niche interest, too, but like, it’s just more convenient when a bunch of people are interested in the same thing at the same time. Fandom will also help with the all-too-long wait for season 2...

‘Klaus’ from The Umbrella Academy Just finished the season and so far he’s my favourite.

Let’s go on a trip

Now *that* is the sword I want :)

This is so gorgeous and emotional and dramatic! I haven’t watched the Netflix finale yet--I guess I’m saving it for a little bit--but I’ll never forget all the feels I felt reading the beach scene in The End, back before “feels” was even a thing people said. This song beautifully captures all of those emotions and gives me plenty of its own. I’m pretty sure it gave me goosebumps although I admit it is also a bit chilly in here. But the emotion in the lyrics and the singer’s voice are certainly goosebump-worthy!

Also, FYI, the volume is fine on my end. It sounds lovely!

Edit: I realize now that I was using my cheap headphones when I wrote this; they’re not great headphones and so I always have to turn the volume up on things to compensate. I just didn’t realize that I wasn’t turning the volume up for this song. So, yes, the volume is indeed loud. It’s not hard to deal with though, and this is still a gorgeous song. I was listening to it on repeat at work the other day.

I think it’s best to listent to it at low volume because I still can’t use garage band properly and the volumes are wrong 

Kit and Olaf love story was my insipiration for this song, they are one of my first ship and it felt like a nice way to honor it. 

I hope you enjoy it. I’ll be posting the lyrics in a reblog so keep an eye open. also as soon as I’ll fix the volumes I’ll be putting it on band camp. 

This post caused me to look this song up, and it’s very catchy! It has such a swift, unceasing pace to it and an epic buildup, and it captures the feeling of running. Also, of course, very fitting for the Hargreeves, and very nicely paired with these gifs. 

Side note, the rhythm of this song makes me think of Loki’s Song by Lucinda Holdsworth. It’s not an exact match, but enough that it brought it to mind and I thought I might as well recommend it :)

don’t blame me because I can’t help where I come from ♫
