well maybe if violence against women weren’t hidden in the lyrics of every other top 40 song

maybe if “bitch” weren’t an acceptable lyrical substitute for “girl”

maybe if women’s bodies weren’t commodified in practically every music video regardless of genre

maybe then i would have some more trouble figuring out why chris brown was welcomed back into the music industry with open arms

See a bald person: OBSERVER!!!! 

See a guy in a trenchcoat: CASTIEL!!! 

See a telephone box: TARDIS!!! 

Board a plane: WE’RE TOTALLY GONNA CRASH BECAUSE JACOB WISHES IT SO. 

See a guy in a janitor’s uniform/eating candy/drinking Pepsi Max: GABRIEL, YOU’RE ALIVE!!!  

Any building with the number 13 on it: IT’S THE WAREHOUSE!!! 

My beloved Shadow of Destiny makes the list! And now I’m wondering if I’ll actually be able to manage playing Scratches on my own or get totally freaked. o.0

I AM SO EXCITED! LOOK AT RETURNING CAST! Is it really slated for next year?! My friend must return from China so we can go see it together!

(Only character I’m disappointed who’s not returning is Chris Redfield.)

“Fight Another Day (Gabriel’s a BAMF)” rough demo by The Crossroad Demons

By who, now? Oh, yes. There are THREE of us now and you can call us The Crossroad Demons. We’ve discussed and the demo doesn’t have either the lovely Claire or Mudha on it because if we do that, there’ll be no reason for you to buy the album.

The what now? Album? Yeah. We’ve talked about that, too, and want to divvy up the proceeds between a charity (such as Random Acts) and the send-the-band-to-a-SPN-con-to-start-hallway-singalongs fund. We’re working on the name.

Exposition aside, Claire and Mudha are amazing. Album + them? Worth every penny in your bank account. Every. Penny. Every single one.
Here are lyrics.
I am sorry it sounds like it was recorded in a tin can. My new computer is better in some ways for recording, worse in others. 

Aaand I’ll just leave this mostly completely unrelated link here.

If your wacky son brings a boy home for dinner after play practice and you two are joking while you do the dishes and he says to you “Hey Ma, so… I’m not gay, but my boyfriend is!” and then you laugh and muss his hair and in the living room your husband shows your son’s boyfriend his model ships, then your son is probably gay, though he might be bisexual, so be careful about labeling.

Great article! Made me grin while making an important point.
