If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

breakfast cereal usually bran flakes or multigrain cheerios with skim milk craisins are a must (raisins preferably golden in a pinch) and ideally some fresh berries as well bébé has already been indoctrinated accordingly although sometimes she prefers 'daddy shredded wheat' aka frosted mini wheats although sometimes she legit goes for the giant shredded wheat biscuit things (which make a huge mess but she does eat them) this is also how i was raised although i was such a picky eater as a kid it took me until well into high school to come around to it but there's an old sesame street parody of the madonna song called 'cereal girl' that my mom LOVED and has now taught to bébé my dad and nephew and spouse have all since been designated cereal boys accordingly :)

Battlestar Galactica "33 Minutes"

33 minutes battlestar galactica reblogging both because the beginning of this show was so frakking good and also because around when bébé la premiére was born someone compared life with a newborn to this episode and i am just now with this gifset being reminded of...that she's always been a GREAT sleeper so let's just cross our fingers and hope li'l bro follows suit some of us need a bare minimum to function toasters or otherwise

xkcd fans are the only fandom I've had direct experience with where people do the stereotypical nerdy fan thing of referring to installments of the thing they like by their release order numbers instead of their titles

hbmmaster

like I've never heard anyone just say "the simpsons season 7 episode 21" without also saying the episode title but I have heard people say "xkcd 2501" without also saying the title of the xkcd

willowhelmiam

Yeah, we shouldn't expect everyone to know every comic by heart. The average internet user probably only knows 1053 and 936.

hbmmaster

and 2501, of course.

willowhelmiam

Of course!

I dunno, I'd call 150 and 386 the most iconic, though 37 pops into my head at excellent random times.

i had to look all of these up but i have faithfully been reading xkcd since college i did actually use a password generator someone made based on 936 at the time and it was a great option i think kyra is deeply correct 150 was my pfp on various sites for years although i think about 18 all the damn time. had to google to know what number the strip was. but oh man.

i understand the appeal of publishing "fic with the serial numbers filed off" as original work but i also feel like. what makes something a good fic is at odds with what makes something a good original story.

veggiesforpresident

a good fic is in conversation with a source text, it may give a character an interesting role, it may reinterpret or subvert the rules established in the canon universe, whatever. but like. its transformative by nature. whereas original stories - good ones, anyway - have their own internal, non-referrential sense of logic and rules. it can be in conversation with the genre writ large but it has to have internal substance that can stand alone. which fic inherently cant do.

fic is a way of life filing off the serial numbers i think this is a great point but also highly dependent on the fic and the level/grade of au at work like there are plenty of fantastic stories that really just pull proper nouns and some general characteristics of and/or dynamics between the characters at hand i can think of half a dozen tog entries as i'm typing this but op definitely makes a good point—so i would say i think it'd also depend just how hard you've filed off the serial numbers so to speak

Reblog to let your followers know that despite your current obsession your previous obsessions still exist and are simply lying dormant until they awaken and strike again

oh for sure i'm probably overdue for a re-spiral on ianto jones specifically but hey maybe recent developments will bring me back to marvel YOU JUST DON'T KNOW but it's now been nearly four years of tog and i swear if they don't get that sequel out soon... well it'll probably just continue being more of the same but also i'll just be annoyed fandom is fannish watch me spiral
