The Australian Ballet is doing Alice in Wonderland again and on one hand I’ve seen it before, and on the other, their Queen of Hearts has my favourite costume in anything every

It’s just this and her court pushes her around the stage on wheels and every act it gets taller until she towers over everyone

Also in act 3 (I think) it swings open at the front and her husband is sitting inside reading a newspaper

I saw this again on Tuesday so here are some things I’d forgotten about:

• This is the only Alice adaptation I’ve ever seen that doesn’t cut the caucus race
• The mad hatter wears taps throughout and it’s so jarring and surprising it’s perfect
• The executioner shadows almost everyone who dances with the Queen
• Lewis Carroll is a character in the ballet and becomes the white rabbit who leads Alice into wonderland which is bad and wrong because Carroll is the dodo but does work very well
• They started dropping rose petals from the ceiling onto the audience when Alice looked through the door to the garden and it was utterly magic
• The Cheshire Cat is made of about 10 different puppets that dance around the stage

• Which reminds me Alice is styled after Alice Liddell rather than the John Tenniel illustrations
• I don’t think the king of hearts actually dances he just wanders around looking confused

here’s a video

more. (btw this is a parody/reference to the very famous “rose adagio” from sleeping beauty)

the Caterpillar is pretty neat too

(all of these videos are from the Royal Ballet’s productions in 2014 and 2017)

Finally an adaptation that makes feel like I’m going to have stroke, it’s perfect

Number of Goblins, ranked

• One Goblin - That’s just a goblin. He’s probably just getting his groceries or something. Leave him alone, you asshole.
• Ten Goblins – That’s a fairly normal amount of goblins. There’s generally around ten goblins in any given situations. They’re just here for aesthetic, so you know it’s a fantasy world. Remember to tip them when you leave.
• One Hundred Goblins – Ok this is too many goblins, but this is a reasonable amount of too many goblins. Like, this is maybe an army of goblins or something? My point is that they’re probably here for a good reason. Best not to mess with them, they’re likely load-bearing in some way.
• One Thousand Goblins – This is probably a goblin town, in which case this is really more a case of One Human, which is a completely different list only available on goblintube. If not, all these goblins are lost. Return them to the goblin town. The orcs are worried.
• One Million Goblins – A million goblins? I’m not sure I’ve even seen a million things in my life , and now there’s a million goblins? That’s, like, all the goblins. Why are you at a convention of all the goblins? Are you a goblin? Actually, no, that would make sense. Yeah, that’s probably what’s going on here. Sorry you had to find out this way.
• One Billion Goblins – Ok, look, at this point you have clearly been sent to a future time where humanity is extinct and goblins have inherited the earth. I can think of no other explanation for a billion goblins. This sadly means that you’re the weirdo, and you have to go be a cryptid now. At least you can find a phone and read the goblin creepypastas about you.
• One Trillion Goblins – How? What is happening? This is more goblins then there are birds, and they’ll all in your house? How is your house this big? Wait, forget the goblins, how is your house this big? Are the goblins here to guillotine you? Probably! Move out of your stupid mansion and let the goblins have it, you weird rich bird-hoarding freak.
• One Quadrillion Goblins – One quadrillion? I’m only like 80% sure that’s even a real number! Luckily, you won’t have to deal with a quadrillion goblins for long, because soon they’ll collapse together under their gravity, forming a far more manageable single planet-sized goblin. Picard’s not gonna be happy about this one!
• More Goblins – Fuck off, you do not have more then a quadrillion goblins. Why are you lying? Are you worried I won’t like you if you don’t claim to have an implausible number of goblins? Don’t worry. Your worth is not dependent on your goblin numbers. Go back to the actual number of goblins secure in the fact I love you, no matter how few goblins you have <3

Every time I get frustrated with a tool or appliance I think about the bit in 17776 about how people crave a little bit of inefficiency, how if everything always worked perfectly and instantly we would lose a lot of the joys of being human, how deeply humans want to want, and I try to find the joy and humanity in what’s frustrating me and enjoy that it’s not perfect

but this does not apply to printers. absolute bastard machines

I always wondered why the Western Zodiac and the Chinese Zodiac were both called zodiacs if one was associated w astronomy and the other w time in general. Like what defines a zodiac that the word is only used to describe these two things? Looking up the word “zodiac” in the dictionary didnt help bc it only talked about the western one.

Well, I decided to look up the etymology for zodiac and it turns out it comes from the Greek for “circle of little animals.” I love humans

was unwilling to accept this outright so i checked etymonline and, truly:
