I Cannot Stand The Parodies Of Modern Major General, They're Overdone And Simply Not As Good As The Original.

I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

So my sister wants to start sewing more, because

a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.

b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance

So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.

And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’

And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this

Ok but now show us the Gonzo sweater

Mrs got me a jumper while back for bday. I wear it loads. Went out in it an ran into ppl who complemented it. Got home and told her that. ‘Yea I got it for you bc its what Gonzo would wear.’ The muppet. Shant recover

guy who has chronic pain and fatigue: man why can't i do more stuff

I'm seeing a lot of people attempt to assign the FearsTM to the Magnus Protocol episodes and I want to start by saying I respect it. I do. Love some good sleuthing.

But.

The Magnus Protocol takes place in a new universe, with new rules. Within each case, the figure meeting their grisly downfall is motivated by ~desire,~ not fear.

Desire for love, desire for revenge, desire for success, beauty, fame, etc.

With that in mind, each character within the OIAR can also be defined by desire. Sam wants answers. Alice wants companionship. Gwen wants success. Celia wants freedom. And so on.

In the last series, defeating fear was all someone needed to survive; defeating your own desires would be much harder to pull off.

Start fearing for your favorite character now.
