One of the things that peeves me about 70s and 80s #totp is the insistence on not telling us who it is performing - why weren’t they thinking of us poor souls 40 or so years later 😂😂😂

when you make a typo in the group chat
A photo from Stardom, a Japanese women's wrestling federation. Perfectly centered is a woman on her knees leaning forward against the ropes. Five women in fun, colorful, sparkly outfits are all mid-air launching towards her to deliver flying kicks to her back, lined up close to each other and about to land their attacks all at once.

I’ve seen other people talking about this but as much as I love your typical antagonist we can all hate in a #cdrama, I love even more a nuanced antagonist we can feel some sympathy for. Li Meng is currently pulling a blinder in Against the Current.

If anyone was sad like me that Against the Current was labeled as “WeTV exclusive”, this is your PSA that it’s now also on Viki. Too exciting, that’s my day tomorrow sorted!! 🤩 #cdrama #tansongyun #liuxueyi

One of the strange things about the internet, and fandom in particular, is that you can be friends with someone for decades and yet have only been in contact over email and social media.

In memory of Tim Curry, please enjoy "Tim Curry Visits the Mall," aka "That'll Give You, Er, Bees," aka "That'll Give You Bees," aka "OMGPONIES TIM CURRY." metaquotes.livejournal.com/5989568.html I hate this timeline. Someone needs to smash an amulet and release us from it. #thatllgiveyoubees
Screenshot of text reads:

Tim Curry visits the mall...
...and ame_chan had the good luck to be working in the store he visited.

Sort of.

I rush out of the office and notice "guy in a grey sweatsuit." and sorta "floomph" against the counter fanning myself with a piece of paper and say, "Wow. Ya ever have one of those days?"

And then the penny drops, OMGPONIES TIM CURRY IN MY STORE TIM CURRY OMG.

And he says, "OH indeed."

In that voice.

And I lose all power of thought and speech and I'm just, er, buh. Can't talk. Standing in the store, trying not to have a hyperventilating fangirl moment. Can't. Talk. Forget sampling balsamic vinegar or you know, actually selling to him. TO OMGTIMCURRY. Who TALKED to me. Tim Curry talked to me and he has Voice and I'll be in my bunk and.... *floppy arms* [Story continues in next screenshot.]

Source: https://metaquotes.livejournal.com/5989568.html[Story continued from previous image] Screenshot of text reads:

So he walks over to our display of honey body balms and other wonderful botanicals, and is examining them and I walk over to him, intending to say, "Ah, yes. These wonderful honey botanicals, so fragrant, made by nuns! When we uncap the bottles and spritz the store, they are so fragrant that bees fly into the store looking for the source of the smell. Reallywonderful stuff Mr. OMGPONIES Curry."

What came out of my mouth was, "That'll give you, er, bees."

"That'll GIVE YOU BEES." ya'll. I said. To OMGTIMCURRY. Bees.

He left the store rather rapidly. At which point, I walked behind the counter and sank onto my knees out of sight of the store and was muttering and laughing rather hysterically. Like ya do. After a horrible bee incident.

"BEES." *smacks head*

"FUckin BEES." *smack"

"TIM CURRY." *smack*

The post reads: "I will accept Nigel Farage's request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better. But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him."
