Since we're on the topic, on the old site, Gail once asked people to post our own version of a Gail Simone tweet. My entry got some numbers: "Did Stephen King ever adapt any of his movies? It feels like they'd make pretty good novels."

I was at an aquarium once, big pool, staff told us we could pet the rays if they came up, but not the sharks. But a baby shark kept coming up to me to be pet. So I pet it. I'm not made of stone. The staff told me to stop but the shark didn't listen so I didn't either

When Jaël did "Lost & Found" with Delerium in 2006, I thought the name and the music video (which involved a butterfly/chrysalis and mirror theme) was a fun coincidence. When she came back to do "Keep on Dreaming" in 2016, it feels a whole lot less like coincidence.

A lot of story possibilities here about struggles with addiction. In fact, as the World's Greatest Detective, I think it'd be appropriate if Wayne used venom in a 7% solution.

Bruce Wayne as a skinny billionaire with underwhelming physical presence, who microdoses venom so that he can be big and beefy as Batman "Bruce Wayne as Batman? I'm sorry, but have you seen the guy? I'd sooner believe he's Scarecrow."

I've been for the past few years, and I have fun. Unplugged is much more focused on traditional games, so you won't find much video game content there like you would at other PAXes. Not going this year because I don't feel safe crossing the border, but YMMV.

I'm stuck on the wording in a different way. "I didn't come in for this shit, I just came to watch the goddamn movie." Sir, you were watching the movie? The things you saw were in the movie you were watching? They weren't making out on your lap, they were on screen? Does he know what a movie is?

I should also note that the use of "crystal sphere", while inspired by Plato's orbital spheres, in this context refers to a shell surrounding individual planetary systems. D&D's Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, and Greyhawk settings are all in their own spheres. With, of course, routes in between.

True, Spelljammer's phlogiston is similar to the aether, but IIRC the aether was an invisible medium through which light and gravity propagated. The depiction of a luminous rainbow-hued substance as a medium for ship travel between worlds was new to Spelljammer, IIRC.

I don't think CBS/Paramount realize how much Trek fans would eat up a fully modeled ship or station. I don't need gameplay. Just let me wander the halls of Deep Space 9 or the Enterprise. I want to feel like it's a real ship and not a series of sets.

Nothing big; when discussing what I wear to keep my soles callus-free, she asked if I wore heels. "Sometimes." A little while later, apropos of nothing, she mentioned she had a nephew who transitioned and she now has long beautiful hair and got her boobs done and you'd never know she was born male.

inventing a new genre called "yaori", which is when like a "half yuri half yaoi" type genre where you pair half of a yuri (a "girl") with half of a yaoi (a "guy") so it's like a "girl x guy" type relationship, if that makes sense
