where can I find a crossword puzzle that is completely free of the endless fucking pop culture references? I don’t CARE that this celebrity’s name conveniently fits in your puzzle, write a better puzzle and leave the goddamn proper nouns OUT

not enough fanfics use naturally occurring hot springs as a plot point, and if they do they never go into how fascinating they are, it’s just straight to the sexy bits and no mention of the amazing algae at all.
#missed opportunity imo #”the stars above this hot spring sure are beautiful tonight” #”yeah” #”you know what else is beautiful” #*blushing* “no” #”naturally balanced ecological niches such as these hot springs” #”…” #*pulls up a powerpoint presentation* “first let us consider the algae” (via tumblr user galwednesday who Gets It)

Have you seen the Foster’s (Home for Imaginary Friends) Christmas Carol, where one of the characters actually tries to be The Ghost Of Bob Marley, with reggae theme tune and all?
I have not seen any screen adaptation of A Christmas Carol (no, not even the muppet one), just read and listened to it many (many many*) times. I’m not surprised someone made this joke though, it seems ripe for the taking.
*Back in the 90s my father worked part time for the local public radio station and they did a live radioplay of it every christmas eve, so I got to stay up and hear him act it out on the radio once a year during my entire childhood (and baby mica would not have been interested in any inferior adaptation- i.e. one not starring my father). He doesn’t work there anymore, but my parents now have an adorable yearly party where they invite a bunch of people to do a live round-robin style reading of the story, and have traditional british xmas food.
I just tried to remember the name of the poor clerk in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and my mind presented me with ‘Bob Marley’ for a solid minute before I realized that there was something very wrong with that picture
You were probably conflating Bob Cratchit and Jacob Marley, and that’s how it happened.
y….es? I know? that’s…. that’s the whole reason it was amusing enough to make a post about?
