They Kinda Explored That Angle (Watson Being Hurt By Holmes’ Deception) In The Stage Play With Jeremy

Norway’s general attitude towards preservation is appalling. These are exceptions, not the norm, and those historical buildings will probably be torn down and replaced with industrial complexes at one point.

20 Images Of Norwegian Architecture Plucked Straight From A Fairytale

The Norwegian countryside is strewn with architecture that looks better suited to crown the pages of a fairytale book. More commonly known for its Vikings heritage and fjords, these photographs display a wide variety of architectural styles that have been used throughout the Middle Ages to the 19th century in Norway. Check out the stunning collection below.

Crooked and towering wooden churches beckoning like an old crone’s fingers, winding stone path weaving through a forest, hidden waterfalls and lonely wooden cabins overlooking a vast valley at its base are some of the outlandish homes and architectural designs we have featured in this series. Teetering Stave churches, eerie waterfalls cascading down like a creature with its own mind, wooden homes made in the typical Norwegian indigenous style called byggeskikk have none of the linearity or conformity that modern buildings do, and have whimsical elements that heighten its sense of magic.  

Each of these structures below have a particular way of being set into its own environment, standing out from the elements without obstructing nature. Most of the buildings and bridges and pathways have been built with stone and wood balance the scene it has been engineered upon.

I was going to say a few things – number one, back to my wife and Rafa. I wanted to just give a shoutout to him. He had an unbelieveable year himself, we had a great battle, and it’s because of a guy like him that I feel like I’ve become a better player as well, so he could well - could very well have been here as well tonight and standing here with this award…An incredible friend, and an incredible athlete, so just like to give a shoutout to him.

Roger Federer casually thanking his wife and Rafa in the same sentence and then talking about Rafa for 2 minutes, without actually mentioning Mirka until later. (via imagesofperfection)

I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade (I’m a Fedal believer through and through), but they showed the ceremony on Eurosport Norway and not wanting to wake my housemates I listened to it with headphones. What I’m hearing is “back to my rival Rafa” (because Rafa was a fellow nominee who was featured in the video shown prior to the presentation), not “my wife and Rafa”. I’m perfectly willing to be challenged on this point (by native speakers with better headphones, lol).

Which doesn’t take ANYTHING away from the moment. He clearly had decided to mention Rafa first because, well, that’s what he does these days. He’s just at the forefront of Roger’s mind at all times. He clearly cherishes their relationship both on and off court so much. Roger has become incredibly sentimental about their rivalry, and very invested in maintaining the relationship after their careers end.

I have both. They're really cute. But FunkoRoger keeps falling over 🤣

I'm doing Christmas shopping online and discovered that funko pops have a line for tennis players. Very tempted but unfortunately Rafa is sold out. It doesn't feel right if I only bring Roger home (he won't be too happy here)...

Rafa - I love his bull logo and the purple top. And his wavy hair.

Roger - cute as a button (as usual) but where is his RF logo though?

I just said this to ahillmadeof42dogs , but I decided to also make a post. Honestly sometimes it really does feel like the writers are ruining the show on purpose. I think it’s more likely that they just don’t care at all, and are doing whatever will bring in the most viewers in their opinion. Which duh, it’s a business, but the lack of deference to the integrity of the story and characters that were set up for 6+ is still insulting and sad. Supernatural has lasted so long because of it’s loyal fanbase, overhauling the show is a big “fuck you” to that fan base.

Losing the blue collar Americana vibe, brightening the show, subtly changing up the wardrobe, giving them apparent endless funds, as we never see them hustle or scam. Ripping the boys apart, having Dean nod along to a song about Mary’s death, taunting us with the fake samulet and then immediately getting rid of that too, the boys staying separate even when they leave the bunker, Dean doing “Bitch” “Jerk” with everybody except Sam, now someone random dude being allowed to call Sam “Sammy”? Switching out urban legends for fairy-tales and straight up fiction (Oz). All this shit on top of the lack of scary villains and general OOC-ness? What’s left of the original show?!

What the....!? I’m glad I live in a nation where bathing with your children is a bonding exercise and considered a norm (rather than a deviation from the norm). 

(Different anon) Perez Hilton has been taking a lot of hits lately because he posted a picture of him and his child bathing together to make it more fun. Danneel then responded with "it's so absurd! I bath with my daughter everyday, sometimes twice a day(if it's a super dirty day) Saves times and we have fun!" it's on her twitter replies. I think both were asking for trouble with talking about a controversial matter such as that, I don't care about Jessica and Jep, but I can see the anger.

Ah! Okay. I missed that. I honestly don’t understand people getting worked up about bathing with your child. I used to do that sometimes when my oldest daughter was little and we were in a hurry to get somewhere. But tweeting about it is a little bit TMI maybe? I don’t know. Thanks, anon! –Admin N

If it’s the the Impala, I’ll throw a fit. Baby is the third main character. She has been more integral to the plot during the show’s ten year run than Castiel, Crowley or any of the side characters.

Here’s another idea. Let the bunker blow up instead and get the boys back on the road, where they belong. The only way this current batch of writers can think of in order to create drama is by fabricating a contrived conflict between the brothers, adding to a neverending cycle of guilt and resentment and unresolved issues. It’s a lazy plot device which is recycled to death at by this point. Why not have them united against a common enemy rather than fighting each other, for a change? 

Jensen volunteered during his lounge, when asked about giving us a minor spoiler, that another fan favourite will die, and that he has no idea how the writers are going to dig themselves out of that one. 

Count me worried now.

I visited the museum last month, and my initial reaction to NOT!Lady Eva from the Milverton dramatization was that she looks exactly like Terry Jones in drag. That really affected the experience, I tell you. I kept hearing ‘he’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy’ in my head throughout the rest of the exhibit. 

I Have Beheld the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

I knew it would be cheesy. I was hoping it would be the right kind of cheesy. My hopes were fulfilled beyond my wildest dreams.

If you are planning to visit this place one day, and don’t want spoilers, let me just offer you the following advice: Go early. At noon, when we were finally admitted after waiting for at least half an hour in the broiling sun, the queue was already down the block. Since the museum itself takes about half an hour (we did it in 20 minutes due to time pressure…it’s a long story), I don’t recommend waiting in line for it any longer than that. It’s a tall, narrow, old-fashioned townhouse, so they don’t let in more than about 15 people at a time.

All right. Let me tell you about this ‘museum.’

"Just a meaningless exho" my ass

Roger's eyes moisten and tucked into Rafa's neck while Rafa hugged him tight.

*snort*. I’m imagining Jared, backstage at VanCon 2014: 

-“Thomas, say hi to Uncle Jensen”. -”But I don’t know hi..” -“SAY HI TO UNCLE JENSEN!”

Devil's Advocate/misanthrop anon: has anyone ever wondered if J2 are just playing the speculation on their relationship for the ratings? It's possible (though unlikely. You can't fake the looks they give each other.)

That’s something that het stans and shippers of that other ship bring up all the time. It’s more than unlikely- it’s ludicrous. The tin hats are a very tiny part of the fandom. There are more J2 shippers that don’t truly believe they’re in a relationship but they still aren’t a big enough group to effect ratings. Supernatural has had fairly steady ratings for awhile now. Not high ratings, mind you, but steady. There are some fluctuations but they have nothing to do with the actors’ real lives. I don’t think their relationship has any influence on that. Now if Jensen and Jared only played up their relationship at cons or on set (the way Jensen doors with other actors on the show), I might think this is a valid point. But the fact that they’re together all the time, that they moved to be close to each other, that they choose to go on vacation together and spend holidays together, makes people who say that it’s for PR or ratings look ridiculous. That would be a pretty elaborate scheme with absolutely no real payoff for the show. –Admin N

Far be it from me to defend Creation (whose business practices I find dubious at best), and I stopped watching SPN after s11, but I had to comment on this on Twitter. The tweet doesn’t mention any fandom or any specific episode that led to the decision, yet people were jumping to conclusions like crazy. One insightful poster suggested that it might actually be about ‘Stranger Things’ (a show and fandom I know nothing about, but which apparently has an underage fandom), but it was drowned out by the loud, entitled SPN crowd.

Last night, Creation tweeted this: 

You notice what’s not on there? No mention of which fandoms, which cons, nothing. But hellers immediately lost their shit:

Big surprise, huh? Funny how they instantly knew it applied to them. Of course, the biggest fallacy in these tweets is that Jensen was fine with it, he was laughing, he loved it. That’s not how the girl who had it signed described it. She said the volunteer encouraged her to ambush him with it and when she did, he looked grumpy and uncomfortable. Maybe because she just shoved porn in his face? But no. They’re convinced that was just an act on his part, that he would have refused if he didn’t like it. Except that by the time that volunteer let him be ambushed, this option was gone. If he had refused, he’d be labelled a homophobe by them. AGAIN. 

The thing that makes me the sickest are the ones who keep saying “he looked uncomfortable but he really liked it. He wouldn’t have laughed if he didn’t like it.” Do they realize they’re using sexual predator language? “He was asking for it! Sure he looked uncomfortable but he smiled so clearly he wanted it.” Gross. 

And then (OF COURSE) we have the bunch who think none of the rules ever apply to them. They’re the ones who are going to really ruin it for everyone because they have every intention of doing it again. 

Here’s hilarious irony for you: 

Nope. Wrong. Blame the ones who decided it was a good idea to have them sign BDSM porn over their own genitals. Because I’ll tell you right now- lots of fans complain to Creation about stuff and they rarely (if ever) listen. The only people Creation actually care about is the talent. So as much as I love that these drama queens are giving us credit, it’s a lot more likely that Jensen said something after the last con. 

And hey, here’s a helpful guideline: If you have to bring a backup thing to get autographed because you think what you want signed is inappropriate? IT’S INAPPROPRIATE. Don’t bring it and put that on the actors. Have some damn sense and we wouldn’t have this problem. 

(and bonus points to the girl who feels PERSONALLY VICTIMIZED BY WINCESTERS AND NONSHIPPERS WHO DON’T LIKE HER SHIP lol)
