"learnd", son. it's pronounced ... learnnnnnnnd.
Two Things Annoying Maggie Today:
. Faking It: Pretending You're A US Citizen When You're An Ocean Away. This has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read, and I've read mountains of stupid things. Seriously? There's a single correct answer to "have a nice day" in the US? There's parking "metres"? There's a need for a highly erroneous and enormously condescending and poorly spelled workshop on this that exhorts you to do heavy *research on American history* and travel to the States in order to write better SPN fic? REALLY?!?!
Here's a radical idea: write a good story. I guarantee you nobody will give a fuck if Dean fails to properly indicate the name of a freeway exit or the boys SOMEHOW SOMEWAY eat a crazy "international" dish.
.Keanu Reeves to play Rama in new movie. Oh, but don't worry -- Gary Oldman will be Ravana! And some beauty with "international appeal" will be found for Sita, probably white as well! And Aamir Khan the only Indian actor mentioned will be unrecognizable under all the monkey-makeup as Hanuman!
STOP STEALING AND FUCKING OVER MY CULTURE'S SACRED MYTHOLOGY, YOU PHENOMENAL ASSHOLES
And now Two Things Making Maggie Delighted:
. A Fun Old-fashioned Family Xmas, a Futurama giftart done all for me over at
yuletart!!! It's amazing, all of the foodie details and how gorgeously each of the characters is drawn, different from the Groening style but so very, very THEM. eeeeeeee!
If you like a big wide cross-section of fandommy art, I really recommend watching the
yuletart comm. And for some extra ironing in this post, here is my handy-dandy guide to Commenting on Art When You're Not an Artist.
. The "Say it With Flowers" International Postcard Project, wherein we inundate Angel Coulby and Katie McGrath with postcards telling them how much we love seeing them on Merlin. I generally don't do this kind of thing, but being a brown girl who loves the Arthurian myth, I like the idea a lot "" and want to let the Beeb know in particular how much seeing Gwen means to me.
