Wag more, bark less

The ease of the internet means that I really, really have to sit on my hands to stop from shouting at someone, particularly in various fandoms, "YOU'RE ALL WRONG ABOUT THAT OMG WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT THERE IS A PERFECTLY REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR "X" AND IT IS NOT THAT ONE."

Because that would be me being a dick.

Note, please, that I have not turned over a new leaf or turned into the sort of person who's into puppies and kittens and rainbows and showtunes, simply that there's a time and a place for canon-fights, and I really have no intention of going around and bitchslapping people on two major facts, especially since one of them might VERY WELL be (partially) wrong, but the other is WIDELY available in a WIDELY AVAILABLE format and if people can't be arsed, neither can I. But I really want to, because I am an accuracy Nazi and only recently came to realise that it is, in fact, possible that the world is not necessarily as I remember it. That was a shocker, really.

Also, I seriously, seriously never need to see another bleeding-goblin cookie in my life. Not even I think that shit's cool.

I have an essay I want to write about fiction and incest and it's so totally going to have to wait because right now I'm even going to miss yoga today to retitle this goddamn line. Oh imagery, why you got to be so hard to condense? Dark Places of the Earth would be GREAT.

Dark Earth, not so much. Also undoubtedly trademarked by a butt-crazy banjo-playing hillbilly ex-hippie in Australia so that WE CAN'T USE IT, because we are a cancer on the industry!

What is a bleeding-goblin cookie? Or am I better off not knowing?

I wish I could show you the picture, but I can't upload it to my server and it's hosted on Outlook, so I don't think that'll really work. *g* But there's a cookie contest here at work and it's celebrating the release of a card deck of Elves vs Goblins, so you make elf or goblin cookies and the ones they've got in the picture are scarily detailed. Like, this is not just cookie cutter shit, this is someone actually icing a little knife and bloodstain on the chest of one of the goblins. There's also a goblin with a bloody stump, an elf with a bloody sword, a goblin with a bloody hatchet, and an elf with a bleeding hatchet wound to the head.

My company, so not normal.

They sound...festive.
