Ricardo Montalban as Satine in The Man from UNCLE, “The Dove Affair”
not only is this a perfect episode of Spy v Spy deliciousness, it’s also the most homoerotic Illya-free episode. I think Ricardo and Robert are just too fucking suave to not flirt with each other.
And for some reason, there are no fics for this pairing. It’s an internet travesty.

oh my god i just flashed on a random memory, in high school i was friends with this girl and we were both in love with orlando bloom, that was basically all we had in common, and we spent so much time together, slept over at each others houses, we even had different schemes to raise money to go to a lord of the rings premiere, which obviously didn’t pan out, and we had a secret handshake based on this roleplay we were writing where both of our characters were bffs in middle earth, and both in love with Legolas, and because I was short and fat and she was tall and skinny, my character was a human and hers was an elf. we called them Man Pants and Elf Tights. oh my god.
I’m reblogging this for posterity and because I still miss calling you guys that. Mostly you, Man Pants.

Well, new followers, you were about to get a long archaeology post to welcome you, but through the ~magic of Tumblr~ it disappeared as I was typing it up. So, sorry you don’t get a neat welcome post and fuck you Tumblr, why won’t you fix the goddamn problems instead of adding a shitty “share” button I’ll never use anyway.

When I was a little kid, I was functionally the poster child for getting helmet laws passed in Texas. My dad and I would go out to bike shops and give safety demonstrations and lobby for voter support. When the law got passed, I felt like I had really had a hand in changing a law for the better and making people safer, even though I was only in grade school.
And then they repealed the law some years later because Texas.

^ No, that’s what it looks like when you’re trying too hard for an acronym. And also are part of the 60’s spy-fi wave. Lookin’ at you, U.N.C.L.E.

(Tumblr’s not letting me answer Asks. Good job, Tumblr staff.)
I’ve just been savior-ing “Hannibal” the name, since it catches more than just the #tag version. As long as you stick to that, I think most people who have an issue with the show will probably be covered. I know some people also warn for blood, gore, cannibalism, etc, but at this point, the name of the show is probably warning enough to anyone who’s been hanging around Tumblr lately.
Thank you for asking about it, though, that’s very considerate of you!

Dear Hannibal tag/fandom,
Your show looks really well-done and fascinating and containing all of the elements needed for a truly twisted fandom that’s having a great time. It’s all over Tumblr, probably for a good reason, since, like I said, it seems really well done from the things that have slipped past my Tumblr Savior.
However…
That those things are slipping past Tumblr Savior is a problem, since it makes me intensely uncomfortable to the point that I’m kind of wondering if this is what “trigger” actually means, so please tag your Hannibal posts and reblogs. The reblogs part is the important one here, since everyone with new content wants it to be found, but please don’t forget that reblogs should be tagged for potentially disturbing content, too.
I’m honestly glad that you guys are enjoying your new show; it looks like something that I’d enjoy too if even oblique references to what’s going on didn’t cause me to just sit and stare into space and try to think of literally anything else for a couple minutes afterwards.
Believe me, no one is more surprised and dismayed by this reaction than I am, considering that I have actually worked with human remains for a living, and I have never and probably will never again make this kind of a post, but
Please tag your Hannibal posts and reblogs.

Final rambling until tonight, I hope, since I need to get some things done.
This is directed to those of you following me or not, Aywas or whatever, people I know in the general sense.
Or if I don’t know you, that’s okay too, I want to meet you! :D
If any of you lot engage in RP/RPG would you mind telling me what your focus is? I’m just curious really, I’m not going to nag you for games or bother you about it; I just want to know because I’m feeling lonely out in my little world, haha.
Personally I play White Wolf settings more often than not, VtM/MtA/WtA/HtR….a few other combined themes and I tried to get into Forsaken but as much as I liked the general theme I didn’t care all to much for the limitations to how it was handled. Also really got into the Promethean concept too but I never found many other players.
I do OC, more online than tabletop these days, some established characters for…years and years, haha. I’ve GM’ed, ran NPCs, wrote settings, played IC; I like to roll around all over every area of the game and love building a concept and cast from the ground up.
Chances are if you attended the Grand Masquerade either year you saw me lurking and running around.
Mostly I’m just curious about what, if any, of you all do/play and if you want to discuss. Not really looking for games I think, simply because I rarely have the time for new ones these days; but a little friendly banter is always nice.
Tell me about your game woes and joys, your characters….anything; just tell me I’m not a dying breed these days. I’ll even give my primary characters basic stats if you’re a curious old school player. XD
I’m going to direct you to my Ask box to talk or ask me whatever you’d like; if you have a preference to private replies let me know, otherwise I may plaster your words on my dashboard so I can look back on them fondly.
I’m here from the Aywas tag, Keptin #85 over there.
In high school I played D&D or other D20 games, and now I’m in a Pathfinder game over Skype with my college friends, but in college itself…
Old WoD, New WoD (Old is better, in my opinion, though new Mage can be great and less confusing than Old Mage if run by a good ST; and new Hunter actually allows the PCs to survive more than one encounter, which is both good and bad depending on the tone of the campaign), Exalted (eds 1 and 2), Adventure! and Aberrant, 7th Sea and L5R, Shadowrun, Victoriana, Nobilis, homebrews, and some others I’m forgetting, some things I only played once, etc etc. If I didn’t play it personally, I know someone who did and I still have opinions on the system or setting.
I love talking about games of all sort, have at it. I do attend GenCon every year I can make it, and I’m more of a player than an ST, but I’ve run Exalted and 7th Sea (and D&D, of course, who hasn’t?). Those and Adventure! are my favourites, but I just love RPGs, generally.

#this movie is where sadness goes to die and be reborn as butterflies #because everything is double dumbass and nothing hurts
i’m still so shocked that there are people in this world, esp trek fans, that hate this film. BUT HOW COULD YOU!?
Wait, there are people in the world who don’t like IV? Do they like V instead or what?

I’ve lost 3 followers (and gained one, hi!) in the last few days. Judging by what I’ve posted, I guess they were allergic to military history and classic Doctor Who.
I’m pretty sure most of the followers I have who aren’t here because we met in real life at a con sometime came here in the first place because of my sporadic posts about military subjects in British fiction, so I’m not sure what they were expecting.
Also, I don’t really have any contact whatsoever with many of the people who follow me, but I don’t follow back for whatever reason, so hi guys! How’re you doing? Enjoying yourselves?

Imperial Orb, Sword and Scabbard of the Holy Roman Empire. The orb was made in Germany c.1200, the scabbard in Italy in the 2nd half of the 11th century, and the sword in Germany c.1198-1218. The gold panels on the scabbard depict kings and emperors from Charlemagne to Henry III.
