we could watch the child's play movies, where actor brad dourif plays a crazy supernatural serial killer, or we could watch the exorcist 3, where actor brad dourif plays a crazy supernatural serial killer, or we could watch the x-files s01e13 beyond the sea, where actor brad dourif plays, and you're not gonna believe this-
The soul of Luther Boggs drowns in hell's sea of fire...
Couldn't resist sketching this awful X-Files prettyboy as Saint Sebastian! The pose reference is from Yukio Mishima posing for Kishin Shinoyama, plus bits from this photoset.

I've been on a Brad Dourif hyperfixation for like six months now. The restorative power of staring at this one hot guy has somehow pulled me through a profound creative burnout.... and here are the results! (See #my bradrot for the latest)

P.S.: I don't repost fundraisers and stuff here because this is my fun stupid side account. I do those things on main; this is more of a release valve. Big love to those doing the work on here, though.
I love these polls. But this feels like a weird and uncomfortable time to continue them. While we are in the process of deciding whether or not to give fascism unlimited power in the greatest military power currently on the planet, these posts feel uncomfortably out of touch with the existential threat facing all of humanity. I cannot enjoy voting in silly polls when I know that all of humankind faces the threat of extermination.
When we can return to a less horrifying reality, I would enjoy revisiting these polls. At the moment, to continue them feels like a cruel celebration of privilege from those who are insulated from the most extreme consequences of current proposed policies. It is hard to think of what level of inhumanity is necessary to continue laughing in the face of so much world-wide horror.
Of course you don't have to stay, and I won't begrudge you at all for going. But there's one point of yours here I feel is worth discussing, and it's your last one: laughing in the face of world-wide horror.
There is a difference between laughing at horrifying things and taking a break to laugh. In a world that is horrifying—and, to be honest, has been horrifying since this blog began, and long before then, and will be after it's done—you need to laugh to keep your endurance. I mean that every step of the way. You will not be able to keep fighting for the people who need your help, including yourself, if you don't give yourself a break and let yourself have joy and silliness in little dollops on the regular.
In my real life, when I'm not posting hot silly people on the hot silly people blog, I try to find ways to help change the world for the better. I've been trying for a while. And one of the key things I've learned in that while is that having a little fun and silliness does not dilute the work of making the world better—it gives you the fuel to keep doing it. Your human brain and body need a muchness. They need joy and sorrow and work and rest and laughter to keep going—and before you say, that's a privilege! yes, in today's broken world it often is. It should not be one. It is a right. You have the right to find spots of joy, silliness, time off from the world.
Stuff sucks right now, but taking ten minutes off to let yourself rest is not going to contribute to the end of the world. We need to rest and laugh if we want to keep going. I've always said this is a silly blog, and I maintain that yes! it is silly, it is pointless, this is nothing big at all. Nothing here has any consequence. And that can be a small good thing at the end of the day. It doesn't mean the big stuff doesn't matter if we have the small stuff too. We can have both. We need both.
I hope you find peace, wherever you are.
It's funny because if you've seen the Duck Soup mirror scenes, without their individual makeup they look very similar! Chaotic Harpo is my favorite (he has a sort of angelic innocence that surfaces sometimes, especially when he plays the harp)... but I'd have to say Chico's the hottest, with that signature rakish charm.
I'm sure Zeppo was funny too, but next to the others, his generic male romantic lead, straight man persona never grabbed me.
In honor of Harpo have you ever done a hottest Marx brothers poll?
hm. no.
for those unfamiliar with the marx brothers, harpo plays bass, groucho does rhythm guitar and piano, chico plays lead, and zeppo plays the drums
Boys with huge tragic eyes 😮💨

THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG (2013) dir. Peter Jackson
An match of intellect between the Turk's dumbest member vs Soldier's dumbest?
I'm swapping dumb for naive, because lbr the level of intelligence it takes to be a SOLDIER or a Turk is unmatched.
Tseng: Alright. I've got a stack of question cards. I'll read the question, whoever hits the buzzer first and answers correctly gets a point. Clear?
Zack & Reno: Yes!
Tseng: Good. Question one—
*Reno hits the buzzer*
Tseng: I haven't read it yet.
Reno: Yeah, but I got the vibe. The answer is cheese.
Tseng: I will stab you in the neck with this question card.
Reno:
Tseng: ...Starting over. Question one—What materia—
*BZZT!*
Zack: Fire!
Tseng: Correct.
Reno: HUH!? He just guessed!
Zack: Gut instinct, man. Years of SOLDIER training.
Tseng: Next question—Who—
*BZZT!*
Reno: Sephiroth!
Tseng: ⏤was the founder of Shinra Electric Power Company?
*Zack hits the buzzer*
Zack: Sephiroth!
Tseng: Forgive my language, by why the fuck would Sephiroth found the Shinra Electric Power Company?
Zack: Wasn't he involved at least? Dude's been here since forever.
Reno: Maybe he got bored one day and was like "You know what this world needs? More electricity!" Then BAM, Shinra was born!
Tseng: He was literally raised IN a Shinra lab.
Reno: Why are we dismissing time travel?
Tseng: BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FUCKING—*Tseng takes a deep breath*—because it doesn't exist, Reno. Now, moving onto the next question. Suppose our fellow operative suffers a mental breakdown while on a mission, expresses intent to harm others, and plans to commit arson—what are the correct procedures?
*A portal rips open mid-air. Time traveler Cloud steps out, wordlessly hands Zack a folded paper, then disappears back into the portal as if this is completely normal*
*Zack unfolds the paper, scans it, then calmly hits the buzzer*
Zack: You beat his ass.
Tseng:
