At about 39:25, David compares himself to celery and it makes me laugh painfully hard. I would never think of doing that, let alone finding it funny, but there it is. Good lord.

I have emerged from miserable anxiety and grumpiness to find that I do, in fact, still have a massive Thing for David Rees. Thank God. I thought I’d lost my capacity to fawn over strangers. 

Welp. It is done. I guess I’ve been saved from spending $40 on a pencil, ‘cause God knows I’d have done it the moment I got a worthwhile job. I mean, if I come into a truckload of money, I’d pay $500 just to show my affection, but I haven’t inspired that kind of demand. 

EDIT: Screw it, here’s the link. I’ve linked stuff on here before and had no trouble.

I don’t know how to actually link to specific images on Instagram, but I finally remembered it was a Thing. Apparently David discovered Earthbound a couple weeks ago. Amazing. His reaction to the pencil eraser is A+.

Where’s the drawing of someone sending this link to others who reply with “I didn’t read that”?? Motherfuckers.

Welp. I did it. I made the gif. Gonna just leave it in their c-box. I am petty. Or I needed an excuse to make a gif of ‘Julian Assange’ eating cold spaghetti in the dark. One of those.

So I got rejected from an RP board last night because they only allow actors, models and musicians for face claims. I understand drawing the line somewhere, because people can be weird and use Facebook friends otherwise. But I figured it was just an oversight, because most RPers aren’t lining up to use comedians for characters, and prepared to join anyway. Spent a long time reading into the site concept and stories and stuff. Happen to ask a throwaway question about whether ‘tribute characters’ like mine are welcome, ‘cause some seem to think they’re unacceptable. They ask who the face claim is, I tell ‘em, they say he’s unacceptable because he lacks acting credentials on IMDB. I ask if they require musicians to have acting credentials. They do not. I ask why the acting standard is being applied to my character instead of the musician one. They just say “we aren’t changing the rules.” Fucking arbitrary! Someone could decide they wanted him to have some short cameo in their TV show or movie, and suddenly he’d become a valid face claim. ???? Anyway, I kiiiind of want to make a GIF of David in a bad wig eating cold spaghetti all “HE IS AN ~ACTOR~” but I’m pretty sure that’d be petty.Also that joining a board after intensely guilting its staff probably ain’t the best. It looked like a good board, too. D=  So I’ll post about the urge here. Hah.

I somehow clicked on a link to this without realizing David Rees had written it, gut-laughed every other paragraph, then looked at the attribution and went “FUUUUCKKKK”.  I think stoner metal’s one of the few genres of metal I actually enjoy, but I don’t know if I can commit to a song for over an hour. I mean, I feel like Swans’ “The Seer” is a commitment and it’s half that. Maybe its volume will have prepared me sonically, though. Hmmm. I want to make a dirty joke featuring “prepared me sonically” but I’ll spare you. EDIT: You know, I don’t know what I was expecting. I was intimidated by the length, loaded it up (it’s on Spotify), started listening and went “Oh, wait, this is the kind of metal I ENJOY.” And proceeded to rock out contently for over an hour. I forgot to listen for the avalanche having an orgasm though. Next time.

A person who is not me made this. That person is celebbee. Y’see, I fuse some pretty unlikely groups of people due to being a huge fucking nerd. So I’ve babbled about David Rees to a gal, an RP partner, who really like Steven Universe (a show I also enjoy) and she has become a convert. I haven’t even had a chance to show her that time he sang “Shake It Off” on a cruise ship yet. Me, I don’t engage with Steven Universe in a way that compels me to whip up gemsonas and what have you, but. . .I gotta support this. It is beautiful, shameless nerdery. It’s being let loose on tumblr. I shall now tag this with relevant tags, and so further muddy the waters. David Rees fans will see Steven Universe content. Steven Universe fans will see David Rees content. MINDS WILL BE BLOWN.

A. clearly a great idea that was never given a chance and b. I need to think of more games/thought exercises in this vein. Propositions that force people to either have an interesting conversation or STFU.

I can’t remember where the hell I heard it and it’s driving me bonkers. One of those situations where I was pleasantly surprised, so I wanna go back to it.
