But the beauty of Spartacus is in eloquently and effectively laying out the motivations for those acts in intimate, dialogue-driven scenes that I’d put against anything on television in the past decade. Varro’s death only works after a half-season of his bond with Spartacus. Lucretia’s swan dive only works if we understand why she thinks doing so is the ultimate romantic act. Naevia’s defeat of Ashur only works after the show delivers two years of near-misses that makes the moment of triumph itself so cathartic. This is the impossible thing that Spartacus did over and over and over again. But it shouldn’t be impossible, since making the audience care about the fate of its characters is Television 101. Yet so many shows fail to achieve this basic goal that it seems all the more revelatory when a show most write off as softcore porn does it on a nearly weekly basis.

AV Club Review of the Spartacus Series Finale, Victory

I will forever judge people who wrote this show off as softcore porn just based on gifsets or photosets. Forever judging. This show had some of the best characters and plot twists and stories and omg emotionally suckerpunching character deaths in the history of television. YES there was sex and nudity but it wasn’t ALWAYS gratuitous  Sometimes it DIRECTLY affected the plot.

Watch it now. Honestly do yourselves a favor and watch it now.

(via trishna87)

I will never stop being grateful that I 1) rented this show in the first place, 2) showed it to Jo, 3) let her talk me into watching more of it when I had initially felt kinda “meh” about it. I am sad to have it ending in a way I never could have imagined, and I’m excited to start watching it again from the beginning.

SO HERE’S A POST FOR ANYONE FEELING LESS THAN STELLAR— *eyezooms at one person in particular* …. And that is, my adventures in being a walking flower arrangement.  Seriously, you can’t stay sad while you look at my head covered in flowers.

…Anyway, long story short, me n’ my friends went to the UW LGBT drag show, and got to meet JuJubee (of RuPaul’s Drag Race fame), and see her perform, and she is just fly as hell okay.  And so good to her fans, too.  Seriously, she was so sweet to friedcheesemogu, and hugged her like a million times.

Anyway I was gonna be DAMNED if I didn’t do something crazy-fabulous to my hair for JuJubee’s sake, so…  well, you get the idea.  

I look kind of chubby on camera these days, but… you know, I am kind of chubby, so there you have it!

I love how I’m like ONE MILLION FEET taller than all of you. Me: Actual Amazon. 

OMG, Jo! Your hair is so fucking awesome! And you all look so fab, I think you outfabbed Jujubee. I have the bestest friends, ever.

HOw lame is it that I’m so late to reblog this? Especially because it was like a spiritual experience for me. My friends were so beautiful, the drag show was so much fun, and JuJubee just…she told me I looked gorgeous, took the pictures I gave her and put them in her dress, and hugged me and told me she loved me. Every time I think about it I can barely believe it.

It was an amazing night with amazing people.

Please also enjoy my dress: it was purchased in the girl’s department at Kohl’s and made for a 12 year old. I have no chest.

FOR SALE: WACOM CINTIQ 12WX -$800 (free shipping)

Hi guys, I’m selling my Cintiq because I hardly use it, and I need the cash to pay taxes.  And because I love my tumblr followers best, I thought I’d give you guys first crack at it before I put it on ebay.

Keep in mind it is used, albeit lightly.  There are a few minor scratches on it, but they are all superficial, and won’t damage the cintiq’s performance in the slightest.

All components are present with the original packaging except for the user manual, which I cannot find to save my life.  I think my cat ate it. I do believe you can find PDFs of it on Wacom’s website, however.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at joanna[dot]estep[at]gmail…  but before you do, please consider whether or not google might answer your question better or more easily than I.

for more details, check this page on wacom’s website.
