LINK AWESOME THINGS MONTH
Okay! I have no awesome thing to post, so I am going to LINK OTHER awesome things. :D
TSCC Vidlet: Mourning Aftermath by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chaila43: I seriously love this vidlet, it's strange and weird and surreal and like a wonderful crazy trip into the messed up threeway relationship of Sarah/The Apocalypse/Derek. But then, everything in TSCC is a series of messed up love triangles; why should this be any different? And the editing is just gorgeous. Really, it's worth the watch for that alone.
The Greatest Miscommunication between Author and Artist in the History of Comics: And by greatest I mean both "biggest" and "best". Seriously, even if you're not a comic reader in ANY WAY, you should take a look at this. The brief version is that the author seems like kind of a dick who was freaking out at the very possibility that people might think there was something GAY about his comic, and directly instructed the artist not to hint at aaaaaaaanything sexual at all. The artist, who deserves some kind of award for something after this, either TOTALLY misread the instructions, or decided that was the most ridiculous thing he'd ever been asked to do, and instead drew, well, click the link. It's just an awesome "fuck you" to haters. I don't even read this comic, and the few times I've tried I haven't gotten into it, but this makes me wish I did.
Awesome Comic Ladies Picspam bybe_themoon: Okay, okay, moar comix I knooooow, but this is a (HUGE) and great look at a bunch of comic characters, some of whom I'm familiar with, some not, but it's great fun to scroll through.
MAKE AMAZING MUSIC BY DRAWING PATTERNS: Seriously, you need no knowledge of music, this is amazing, and I think I may have linked it before but it deserves to be linked again!
John Stewart Rips Glenn Beck: It's not the whole thing and I'm sure you've seen it before because it's old by now, but OH MY GOD it's still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Damages Vid: Lullaby bykiki_miserychic: I don't watch Damages, but this is...creepy and really well done and so sad.
Star Wars Fan Film: Reign of the Fallen: I don't know how many of you are familiar with the concept of a fan film - but it's basically what it sounds like, a fan-made movie, and obviously they're of varying quality, and mostly commonly found in Star Wars fandom simply because it's so enormous. Anyway, some of them, i.e. this one, are just...unbelievably impressive in their spectacle, effects, technical skill, acting and...general all around, "you made THAT for the love of Star Wars?!" factor. This one really is worth a look. It's about the same length as an episode of TV and has a quiet, tense tone and message that stems as much from spaghetti westerns and samurai movies as it does from Star Wars. If nothing else, it really is beautiful to look at.
Darths & Droids: This is the start of a Star Wars spoof webcomic that if you are even passingly familiar with tabletop RPGs you will find side-splittingly hilarious. The premise is that the entirety of the Star Wars movies are actually someone's homebrew scifi universe and he's running an RPG campaign in it. Cue comedy based not just on RPG gaming stereotypes but also on the movies. I...can't even begin to explain some of the hilarity involved in the various personalities involved, but I will leave you with the fact that Jar Jar Binks and the political system of Naboo exist because one of the players had to bring his eight year old sister along and then insisted on playing. "Oh, yes! We'll go to see the Queen! She's veeeeerrrry wise and verrrrry old. She's fourteen! And EVERYONE voted for her!" They're most of the way through Episode III at this point; I think they're planning on doing the classic trilogy too.
END LINKSPAM. :)

That music thing is awesome!
Also, that comics panel is pretty amazing: 1) The writer sounds like an asshole, and 2) There's actual groping in the art! You go, artist.
Hee, it amuses me to no end (and pleases me!) that you picked out the apocalypse as the third point to complete that particular Sarah/Derek triangle. :) And aww thanks for liking it and trying to drum up a bit of interest for its weirdness. <3

The music thing is hooooorrrribly addictive, I warn you.
I can't decide if I hope the writer NEVER NOTICED and thinks that he successfully managed to DEFEAT GAYNESS or if he almost died of apoplexy and horror.
But most importantly, your vid is awesome and deserves to be loved for its weirdness. ♥

That John Stewart video is brilliant, I hadn't seen it before. Thanks for that. And that music playing thingy, which I will now play with for the next twenty minutes!
no subject
Likewise, I'm glad you enjoyed the comics links - makes me feel sliiiihghtly less bad for my flist about having been eaten by them for the last month. ;)
(Good luck with the music thingy; if you manage to ONLY play with it for twenty minutes, you're stronger than I am!)
no subject
(Also the way that Jon Stewart says "Jesus" in that clip still makes me giggle.)
no subject
(And yesssssss one of the funniest moments in six minutes of pure hilarity!)

A+ linkspam! It's going to be very handy for my comic buying expedition tomorrow. :)

I'm so happy to introduce you to the context of the picture - like I said, I only just found it myself, but it makes it ten times more awesome.
And YAY COMICS! :D Let me know what you pick up!
