My background shows are ones Iโ€™ve seen a bunch. I can follow along because I already know whatโ€™s going to happen. The shows themselves are incredibly well done and donโ€™t treat the audience like distracted viewers.

This is Flaming June by Frederic Leighton (1895).

Are you as obsessed as I am with the color of her gown? I love how it seems to merge with her hair.

a group of men are standing in front of a sign that says vs. Alt: a group of sumo wrestlers in casual clothing are lined up.

Many people don't seem to get how physically demanding sumo training is. For eg, many wrestlers are forced to consume over 8000 calories a day, because they rapidly lose weight otherwise. Imagine taking in 5-6 thousand calories a day, and still losing weight. That's how exhausting their regimen is.

Once, my four year old niece was intently drawing, when her grandmother kept pestering her about food.

She said, "What would my baby like me to make? Shall I make pancakes? Or shall I make..?" So on.

After a while, my niece turns to her and says sweetly, "could you make... a little less noise?"

Firewood crackles
Flames, like red fingers,
Grasp at the night.
How warm she feels
In my arms.
I pray in silence
For dawn to break late.

I've actually seen both seasons of that anime. Haha

I don't mind the long titles but mistranslations irk me. For example, Attack on Titan. I don't know the story behind that translation, but Shingeki no Kyojin should be The Titan of Attack, or simply, The Attack Titan, I feel.

I think so. Not completely sure though. I learned of it as trivia only. Wikipedia says it's something like that.

Saudi Arabia often imports sand and camels from Australia. The desert sand in the middle East is not too suitable for construction. And camels native to Australia apparently taste better (?).

The setting sun's light glinted off the steel and painted its edges red gold, as the knight held the sword high, ready to swing down at the bloodied man on the ground.

Wind whistled ominously, thickening the stillness.

"...and action!" Yelled the scruffy man beside the camera.

David Attenborough: The faster antelope species always keep their slower cousins, the cantaloupe, nearby to throw under the feet of predators to trip them thus creating a hilarious pile up on the savannah.

a hbo advertisement shows a snowy landscape and the name tom mccarthy Alt: The wall from Game of Thrones as shown in the intro video to the show.

I love how the height of The Wall in GoT was a goof on GRRM's part. He had no idea what "700 ft high" would physically look like when he wrote the first book. It was years later, when he saw how high a 200 ft tall rockside in a quarry was, that he realised he had made his Wall too damn high.
