This has depressingly few notes.

Gen X, represent.

considerably before 1985…

1983.

1984! A fine dystopic year!

1980! Makes remembering how old I am really easy.

On the nose!

1962. And I follow someone on Tumblr who was born in 1923.

1923! I missed that detail last time this post came round. If that’s true (or even if it isn’t) I’m reblogging again purely to celebrate my Mum’s birth year.

It’s true. And everyone should follow fvfarm; she truly is the Coolest Person on Tumblr.

Capybara threesome

This is backstage during the jane eyre remake.  the wee birds (huh, not shrikes, but what are they? Lies? anonsally?) are prepping Rochester for the wedding.  you can see he’s doing method acting, since his attitude is one of crazy crazy.

Tiny feathered dinosaurs on a moose!

I don’t have any special expertise with South American birds, so take this with a grain of salt. But this account of capybara ecology mentions a number of mutualist bird species that associate with them, including one that looks kind of similar, the rufous hornero (Rurnarius rufus). The eye stripe on these birds doesn’t match the rufous hornero, but a related bird, the band-tailed hornero (Furnarius figulus) looks like a pretty good match.

So if I had to make a guess, I’d say band-tailed hornero. But if someone who actually knows South American birds disagrees with me, believe them and not me.

Is this a photograph that you took, Jane?

If the source material say’s pinterest we are going to assume it’s not her own photography. For future reference her photography is always tagged #ponderings and you’ll be able to tell when it’s her photographs because they aren’t as good as the pretty ones i find online. No offense Nessa.

Jerk.

Jane has talent, Kathryn. TALENT.

Heh. My favorite creators are invading my fannish space and working out sibling rivalry issues at the same time.

The thing about birds is that they have such a sense of style.

I love owls, and around this time of the year they seem to come down from the Sierras into the valley where I live. I always see families of them by my mom’s job nesting.

Adorable babies.

Berniesu-eus: Welcome to the Emmaverse, lies. It has the same basic rules of the world you know, rules like gravity. What you must learn is that these rules are no different than the rules of a computer system. Some of them can be bent. Others can be broken. Understand? Then watch Emma Approved, if you can.

Berniesu-eus: Good. Adaptation, improvisation. But your weakness is not your technique.

Tumblr: Lies is watching Emma Approved!

Berniesu-eus: How did I beat you?

Lies: You’re too fast.

Berniesu-eus: Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place? You think that’s air you’re breathing now? Hah. Again.

Tumblr: Jesus Christ, he’s fast. Take a look at his neural kinetics, they’re way above normal.

Berniesu-eus: What are you waiting for? You’re faster than this. Don’t think you are, know you are. Come on. Stop trying to watch Emma Approved and watch Emma Approved!

shipwreckedcomedy:

Missing your weekly fix of shipwreckedcomedy and A Tell Tale Vlog? Never fear, we’re still around! There’s a team intro/update video coming your way tomorrow! In the mean time, here’s a behind the scenes pic of Sean as Poe. 

[Edited to add: Yes, that is his Poestache in his hands.]

There’s an AU DC Comics version of Socially Awkward Poe in which Poe is a superhero who can travel through time, talk to ghosts, etc., but between sessions of world-saving he removes the Poestache, and suddenly no one recognizes mild-mannered Sean as the same guy.

This leads to awesome scenes like when he’s working at the coffeehouse and a group of his co-worker baristas are going on about how dreamy Poe is, speculating about what his secret identity could be, and one of them says, “Yeah, he could be anybody. Like, Sean could be Poe,” and they all burst out laughing at his expense. And he just sighs and turns back to the espresso machine, saying quietly to himself, “Nameless here for evermore.”

Rochester demands kittens. Wearing hats. (x)

I’ve been waiting for this!

The way this sequence worked on (at least) two levels simultaneously was…

Dammit. I don’t have adequate words. One of you articulate types, help me out. The way you could watch it wondering, “what is Rochester’s actual conversation about, and how does his frustration in the call contrast with the way he’s acting with Jane on the kidnapping/date?” But then also, Jane’s voice-over, just as pure comedy. But then thinking about what it means that Jane is making this light-hearted, goofy voice-over, not realizing…

All that at once, as just one little part of what I think is probably the most amazing 8 minutes of classic-lit-as-vlog-adaptation I’ve ever seen.

This show is like fucking Athena springing forth fully formed from Zeus’s forehead.

I need to make a post about this.:

neither-saint-nor-sinner:

I’ve been avoiding, for the most part, creating gifs or writing meta on AOJE. That is 100% because of my feelings about Jane Eyre and my issues with Gothic novels/ the Brontë sisters’ work (excluding Anne’s, perhaps).

But I really love this show. I love the risks that are taken and the obvious…
