With the launch of VOICE also came the opening of VOICE’s official hotline, which fields calls from those who allege they are the victim of a crime carried out by a immigrant.
According to BuzzFeed, since the hotline’s launch, the phone lines have been tied up with calls about undocumented aliens— from outer space.
Given that the launch of the hotline coincided with Alien Day, people put two and two together and launched a plan to inundate the hotline with stories of alien abductions. Read more (4/27/17 10 AM)
First of all, it’s not nice to take pictures without sourcing them to the photographer. Which is doubly important because if you had you would have found the rest of Paul Wiggin’s photos of this sumatran tiger cub from the Chester Zoo and and used this one instead, which is objectively 10x better in every way
rogue-types who get caught up in being agents of the divine are the best goddamn trope
prime examples:
Alianne of Pirate’s Swoop/Aly “literally got her entire life hijacked by a trickster god who wanted
her to be spymaster for a national rebellion in another country” Cooper
Moist “accidentally becomes the avatar of the god of the post service” von Lipwig (special mention to Vetinari’s speech about “angels”)
Vax “the Voice of the Tempest’s bitch”“Left” ‘ildan
“Do better”“Rational people want to move on” Kelsier
Eugenides who needs to go to bed
imo the BEST example, however, is that moment in Road to El Dorado when Miguel leaps to pull the sail down on the boat, to catch the wave, break the pillars, and save El Dorado from the oncoming conquistadors, and for just a moment he’s flying in front of the sun with his cape billowing like wings and the light a burning halo, and the Chief, who knows this has been a con, sees and gasps. Bc then the discovery of purpose that is the heart of this trope, the realization of a Greater Cause to Serve, in one who once acted only for themselves and never thought they’d amount to anything more…it’s completely natural, without overt divine influence, but still with a heavy implication that this was all orchestrated by the gods. That’s the Good Shit, man.
…there need to be more women on this list. Please send me female rogues who get caught up in being agents of the divine.
Seth in the Oracle Prophecies trilogy! The Jackal is obviously the greater rogue-type, but Seth’s “what the fuck, why me” moment when the God first speaks to him when Mirany is busy on the way to the Rain Queen’s garden is a prime example of this trope.
petition to make Earth Wind & Fire the new September meme instead of mocking the Greenday guy for mourning his dad
Pros: Funky beats, a classic late ‘70s R&B soul jam, it perks me up when I’m depressed as fuck, and also you won’t be tweeting relentlessly “reminder to wake up” at a guy who wrote a song about his father’s death
Cons: for the rest of the year you’ll have “BAAAA DEEE YAAAA DEE YAAAA DEEE YAAAAAAAAA, BAAAAA DEEE YAAAA DEE YAAA DEE YAAAAAA” stuck in your head, which imo is a fair trade off
