The Unfortunate Life of the Nameless Disney Prince

Its always bothered me that the enchantress from the prologue of beauty and the beast cursed a "spoiled" 10 year old orphan and only gave him till his 21st birthday to find true love…
If a stranger had come to my door when I was ten, and my parents weren’t there, I wouldn’t have let them spend the night either!
And I’m 26 and still haven’t found true love!

I’d be a beasty for life.

I want to write a fanfic where that “beautiful enchantress” is revealed for the child-hating witch she is.

They keep saying Adam* was spoiled, but by who? His servants? The ones that Lumiere claims haven’t had anyone to wait upon for ten years? And that ‘portrait’ that everyone says is him… that doesn’t look like a ten year old to me, it has to be his father or older brother or something, which gives whole new meaning to its destruction…

The poor kid was abandoned by his parents, or lost them at a young age. He’s raised by his servants, who of course spoil him since he is both an orphan and their master. Then a witch curses him and his estate so he grows up half-animal with talking dancing furniture who never even teach him how to read- so he’s had no sort of formal education. In the meantime his entire kingdom forgets he exists. No wonder he has trouble believing anyone could love him.

*Not officially his name, but Disney is cruel for not giving him a real one.

So I drew a ten-year-old recently cursed Baby Beast, based off the post-transformation screen grab, and then color corrected to match the celebratory colors… and included references lol

I think he would have got progressively more animalistic, and wouldn’t have become that muscular until you know… puberty… and lots of running around in the forest climbing the outside of his castle and wrestling with the suits of armor.

Matters of Taste : How To Buy a Present for an Architect

This close-to-home blog post was shared by a friend on facebook, who is a fellow architect grad (aspiring architect? architect-in-waiting? architect-in-education-but-currently-lacking-credentials? They need a name for the scores of people in this category) And I thought I should share, though be warned: if you are not acquainted with an architect(-etc), then this will be less amazingly-funny-and-accurate and more I-can't-believe-they're-so-snobby.

space

If somebody dies... while they're in outer space... do we say they were "Lost in Space?"

Chocolate Convo

"How did it take so long to come up with something so simple, yet so good? Its just puffed up rice, covered in chocolate."
"Its because it's coated in chocolate. Anything coated in chocolate is good."
"True, people eat chocolate covered bugs- that should tell ya something... But how did it take millenia for our species to come up with this?"
"Millenia?"
"It should have been: fire, bow & arrows... chocolate-coated-stuff. boom, end of the need of innovations."
"... I don't think we would have lasted very long."
"We would've made our selves extinct due to diabetes."
"But we would've gone out happy!"
"Ha! 'Here lies beautiful Earth, brief home of the Fattanhappians'."

Y.O.L.O.

"Yahweh & Other Loopholes Observed"

lol, Doctor, I believe the phrase only applies to non-fictional characters...

Seatbelts

How come nobody wears seatbelts in the movies and television?

I get that half the time they're not even in a real car, much less an actual road... but that's not the case here, with Bill Maher in Religulous...

You'd think directors would want to double check this sort of thing... and isn't it illegal in a lot of places? Can the cops watch these shows and then go issue citations for not buckling up?

Scott McGillivray

Scott McGillivray....
A) Very hard to find if you only know how his name sounds, but not how its written.
B) Designer/Contractor/Realtor of HGTV's Income Property
C) Bettering the world by making multi-tenant housing something "cool" besides just being something that is green, economical, and socially strengthens the community.
D) (For the ladies some) He looks like that! ->
E) (For the men some others) He's married.

Not having cable, Income Property is one of the shows I can watch online [here], and I pretty much love this show and the way Scott hosts it. He's the only host I've seen that shows detailed (and to scale!) floor plans of his projects. If you're interested in investment properties or just home decor, check it out!

"Moths" Quote

"Moths are the butterflies of the night."

-another one from Mandy of Mandy's Space

Mandy is... much more sensitive... of the life of other living creatures... than myself. She was lamenting over the seemingly doomed fate of the worms inside mexican jumping beans that were being sold in plastic cases. She asked if they stayed in the beans forever, the clerk replied that most of them would die but some would make it to their adult moth form. This did not ease Mandy's distress though, thus the quote. I told her there was nothing stopping her from releasing the moths into the wild once they emerged from the beans, but she still did not approve of them "being tortured by humans all their lives." 

I hear there's no politics OR religion on mars...

Nobody* is ever going to change their mind based on what somebody else on the internet did or did not tell them to think, and if they DID could you really respect them for any opinion they have, seeing how easy they were to influence?

*with half a brain and an ounce of willpower

It makes for amusing reading sometimes, but mainly makes me wish there was another planet I could go and live on because I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
