Ahoy there, adventure gamers! [community profile] monkeyisland is a community for the beloved classic game series Monkey Island, featuring the comedic swashbuckling adventures of the improbably-named Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate™. Anything about Monkey Island is fair game: your own fanworks (art, fic, videos, games, music, cosplay, memes/silliness, whatever), recs of others' fanworks, livestreams/let's-plays, discussions, news and articles, tips for messing about in the game resources or scripting, requests for hints, screenshots, all that good stuff. If Monkey Island is your jam rum rum and jam (it's an old pirate favorite, everybody knows that), then come on over and have a grog.

The Yahoo Groups Rescue Project needs more taggers.

Paul Leni's The Last Warning (bilibili link). The copy on the Internet Archive is quite battered, this one is nicer. The website is weird for online viewing, so thank heavens for third-party tools (hehe). Leni's stuff is always nice, and I'm very curious about the sets (they were reused for The Last Performance apparently).

EDIT: Another upload. 360p. Hey, it's public domain.

Blog post about J. Storer Clouston. Featuring an omnibus edition of The Spy in Black, The Lunatic at Large, Simon and The Man From the Clouds. Conrad Veidt on the cover, never seen that specific publicity portrait. There's a message printed on this edition that he wrote (of course, someone told him to write that). Maintains "Germanisms", I hate he doesn't put the little strike on his t's.

June Theme - Nooks & Crannies

We're a bit further into the second week of June than I intended but work days are long and relaxation time to post (or do my own bite-sizing) is brief. The focus this week is to turn attention to the nooks and crannies in the kitchen - is there a little used cupboard or drawer or maybe even just a shelf or windowsill that needs a bit of a clean and clear? Or maybe it's a time to clean the filter in above your stove if you had one or to clean the kettle or dishwasher out. Remember the job doesn't need to be huge, it just needs to be in one of those that get missed in the big clean, that little spot you always think 'I'll catch that later/next time'.

Enjoy what's left of your week.

Title: haven't been home lately (why keep a room?)
Rating: Explicit
Fandom: Justified
Relationship: Raylan Givens/Tim Gutterson
Additional Tags: Masturbation, Getting Together, coworkers with benefits, Blow Jobs, Anal Sex

Summary:
Thoughts circling like the fan blades, Tim comes back to the same frustrating reality. He's been working with Raylan for months now, and each infuriating habit is growing increasingly endearing. The way Raylan carries himself doesn't help, and when Tim's eyes close, Raylan's swagger plays on repeat against Tim's eyelids.

"Stupid cowboy," Tim mutters, although there's no one around to overhear — he's not back in the barracks, isn't trying to keep quiet in a hostile household.

A/N: For Unconventional Courtship. The Harlequin Romance I picked was Never Tempt A Lawman by Lauri Robinson

Book Summary
Western Kansas, 1866

Steady, wealthy and oh-so-safe—that's the kind of husband Bess Trundale wants. Someone like the local banker's son. Someone unlike Sheriff Kirk Landers. The lawman's confident swagger gets right under her skin…and into her fantasies. And though she's tried to ignore the chemistry surging between them, one night is about to change everything.

Kirk isn't planning on being anyone's husband ever again. But months of living under the same boardinghouse roof as quick-witted, feisty Bess have stirred desires he can't ignore. Together they could put their pasts to rest and claim a bold, passionate future—if he can tempt her to break all the rules with him….

What I have been reading, May edition

As usual, almost half a month until I get to my monthly reading post… Oh well. I read more again, which is nice, but I seem to have developed a habit of picking up books, reading half of it, and then forgetting about them. I always read more than one book at any given time, but this is ridiculous! Anyway, in April I finished these books, all new to me:

Kingdom of the Blind by Louise Penny. This is the 14th book of The Inspector Gamache series, which I have been slowly reading through the past 2 years. I read the first four books years ago one after another, and grew tired of them, so when I went back to them I I decided to pace myself. I re-read the first books and then continued, and have enjoyed them. In case you haven’t read Penny, she is a Canadian author, and most of the books centers around a village, Three Pines, close to the border to the USA. It’s pretty much an ideal place, with a bistro serving yummy food (don’t read if you're hungry), friendship and art. And of course murder. In this book Inspector Gamache finds himself the executor of a very strange will of a woman he never met. There is a very new murder, but also a very old mystery, which was intriguing, but I still had a hard time getting through the book. Partly because the mystery didn’t pick up steam until after ⅔ of the book, but also because of a sub-plot about fentanyl smuggling which has lasted several books, and that I don’t care for at all.

Starling House by Alix E. Harrow. Someone recommended this book to me and it’s been in my to-read pile since forever. When I finally picked it up I finished it in two days, reading until 3 in the night. It has been a long time since I did that. Easily the best book I have read this year. 

Opal is a young woman working a dead end job in a dead end town in Kentucky. Her main focus is to get enough money to get her young brother to a good school and eventually a better life. But she also has a fascination for Starling House, a mysterious manor house built by the equally mysterious Eleanor Starling who in the late 19th century wrote a very strange children’s book, before she disappeared. Needless to say Opal finds herself entangled with Starling House in a very Gothic story. I loved everything about this story, from the plot, the language and the characters. I also found the ending satisfying, which I often think is the weakest spot in Gothic novels.

The Ten thousand Doors of January also by Alix E. Harrow. As I already had this book by Harrow, I went straight to it after Starling House. It’s set in the early 20th century and follows January as she grows up in her wealthy guardian house while her father, who works for him, travels the world to bring back artefacts. Though January is well treated, she chafes agaínst the restraints put on her. She also, once, found a door to another world, though that door is immediately destroyed. One day she finds a book about a girl who also finds doors to other worlds, and as January’s world is turned on its head, she slowly realises she has a very real connection to the book.

I didn’t like The Ten thousand Doors of January quite as much as Starling House, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. I did, a lot, and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Build A Flower by Lucia Bakrazarand Pappersblommor (Paper flowers) by Sofia Vusir Jansson. Both are non-fiction books about how to make paper flowers from crepe paper. There’s this amazingly talented woman in Sweden that makes paper flowers that are so lifelike, I felt inspired to try to make themselves. So far I have produced a poppy, which I’m pleased with for being the first try ever. Not that I need a new hobby, but at least it’s a fairly inexpensive one, and for a sewist it’s quite the thrill to finish a project in an hour… I plan to do a couple of rehearsal flowers, trying different ones, and eventually create a flower arrangement for a decorative pot we have that is cracked so you can’t have live flowers in it. Both these books were informative and easy to read.

We are halfway through the year, and I've watched Lon Chaney's Phantom twice.




Georges Méliès's Rip van Winkle synced to the operetta (YouTube link). Makes it all the more enjoyable *has never heard of Rip van Winkle in his life*





(via hanswalterconradveidt on Tumblr)

Can't get over him drinking Coca Cola. With a straw!

I dunno man. Staged photo, yeah, they all are, but it's still a good reminder that he was a human being.

No idea what Norma Shearer is doing.






Buffo <3

Am I doing this right? Am I cool with the kids?




Forever grateful to have all of you in my life. Even if we don't talk much. Also grateful for one person who isn't on here, but someplace else on-the-line. And a few people IRL as well.

Hope the positive feelings are mutual. It can be hard to tell. Learnt that the hard way.

(No reason for writing this last bit. Just wanted to let you all know <3 )
