I said I was done with Doctor Foster gifs and yet here I am. He just looked so delicious here. I couldn't help but place him in a box.

I regret nothing.

that means future generations will be able to watch the show even after I'm dead and YouTube the platform is gone

this ROCKS

it's nuts that the show is now a part of British cultural history???! like, what?!!! they're gonna be watching me in the 22nd Century are you kidding me?????? Fukin Ikki and Erika are gonna be taking breaks from Medabots battles to watch Philosophy Tube are you for real????

ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS FACE!? By the gods.

For the this year's celebration of the Glorious 25th of May let me present to you my latest project.

Lady's Sybil Ramkin leather corset for a stage adaptation of sir Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards! From sketch to final costume with lovely Errol the Dragon.

Corset made from genuine textured sheepskin and a lots of brass details like buckles, eyelets and studs. Straps has functional buckles and can be adjusted if necessary. Corset has cotton lining with lilac blossom print (I'm not sorry, I can't help myself, I wouldn't miss this chance for a little Easter hard-boiled egg). All creative processes was under strict supervision of my copilot Jarvis, as usual.

Well I wonder why, following the ending of the non-canon Good Omens Finale

Pigeon uses Remembrance day poppies to build a nest on top of Anti-bird spikes in 2019. The absolute amount of symbolism going on here is off the charts.

A pigeon. Both in that it's a dove which means peace, but more importantly that pigeons were essential as messengers during WWI. Most famously Cher Ami.

The spikes resembling violence and hostility.

Using Poppy pins made specifically for Remembrance day and all the symbolism of Poppies and WWI itself.

The fact that it stole the poppies from a tomb of an unknown soldier.

The fact it took them to make a nest to lay eggs and raise its babies in.

The fact that it's on the ledge of a church.

The fact that the window it chose to make the nest against is of a wounded soldier.

~MOTION~

GODS. This man is gorgeous.
