Afternoon Snack

Happy Tuesday, crones. I, for one, feel like the human equivalent of a bag of potato chips somebody left open all night. So come and join me in taking out for millenial nostalgia and anime food (among other things) in this afternoon linkpost.

 


 

This might be the most millennial thing to ever millennial about, but the Backstreet Boys and (some of) N’Sync are staring in Nick Carter’s zombie movie.

 

I had to edit a lot of caps and exclamation points out of that sentence, but to tell the truth, most of them just fell right out of there when I saw AJ McLean’s juggalo cosplay.

Really hoping that the whole period-drama-Princess-Jellyfish-but-with-a-more-sensitive-babby-lead vibe I’m getting from the promo art is something we can look forward to in this title.

 


 

I rediscovered my favorite youtube video of all time last night and would like to bring you all back to 2012:  a simpler time, when Autotune was so popular that even PBS had to get into the action. This remix will remind you about how Mister Rogers was the physical embodiment of goodness in the world and was far too pure for this garbage planet; RIP, neighbor.
