Lister: You know, it's at times like this when I'm stuck in a GELF airlock with a hologram of a man from Io, about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I listened to what my mum told me when I was young. Rimmer: Why? What did she tell you? Lister: I DON'T KNOW, I DIDN'T LISTEN! Rimmer: Terrific.

Just some things I think deserve a super accurate movie/show adaption in a beautiful 2D animation style:

The How to Train Your Dragon series

Gregor the Overlander

Artemis Fowl

The Adventure Zone

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (fr so much was left out of the 1939 film!)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass

The actual Little Mermaid story (there are a ton of adaptations I haven't seen yet so maybe it exists somewhere but we all know Disney’s didn’t even come close)

#the entire series for those that have one if that wasn't clear #some of these need to be done #some just need to be done RIGHT #like fr why is it so hard for adaptations to just be faithful to the source material? It's not rocket science #also why did hunger games get so much love but no one read Gregor the Overlander?#the original little mermaid may be sad as heck but it is also beautiful #I admittedly only read the first few books in some of these series' but still #like did you know there's 14 oz books?#okay imma tag everything now #how to train your dragon #httyd books #gregor the overlander #the underland chronicles #artemis fowl #the adventure zone #taz #the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy #hgttg #frankenstein #frankenstein the modern prometheus #the wizard of oz #alice's adventures in wonderland #the little mermaid #old niche fandoms #adaptation #animation #hans christian andersen #lewis carroll #suzanne collins #cressida cowell

hitchhiker's guide community i have a really specific question so what shade is the orange presidential sash to you? i recently realized it's a very specific color and look to me and has been since i was young reading the book for the first time - something like this but with a satiny sheen that brings out more variation in hue

#in my mind it's somehow both almost salmony and almost brassy #which fits zaphod well i think lol #hhgttg #hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy #h2g2 #original

Klaus: You know, it's at times like this... that I really wish I'd listened to what Elijah told me.

Cami: Why, what did he tell you?

Klaus: I don't know, I didn't listen.

Dad: Has (Bro’s Girlfriend) seen Jupiter Ascending yet?

Bro: I don’t believe she has.

Dad: You two should watch it, it’s bonkers in the best way. It’s the Wachowskis, it’s a lot of fun

Bro: Is that the one where Channing Tatum -

Me and Dad: Yes.

Dad: And Sean Bean’s in it and he doesn’t die!

Bro: That was my next question! (And presumably the one immediately after it.)

#family shenanigans #this prompted by a discussion of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy after Bro and GF watched it over the weekend #that then turned into the three of us just discussing best bits of Hitchhiker’s Guide in general #(Bro and I have both read the book and saw the movie in theaters but had not watched since until Bro and GF did)#(Dad having been introduced to it via a friend who had cassette tapes of the original radio play and as he puts it he was spoiled since)#while my mother who is NOT a sci fi person on the whole was I must assume mildly baffled by this all #as we all discussed the sperm whale and the bowl of petunias bit you know as you do with no further context

Happy Towel Day!

Towel Day is celebrated every year on May 25th in honor of the author Douglas Adams (1952-2001).

I was introduced to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series when I was a teenager. I owned the books for a long time before I finally read them, but once I did, I was sorry I had put it off. I finished the series as an angry teenager trapped on a farm in Ohio--I was a city girl at the time, unappreciative of the great outdoors, and the books were my only solace. They made me laugh so much. I remember re-reading them in high school and bursting out laughing in the middle of math class when Zaphod told everyone that Marvin called to wash his head at them and sad little burbles came down the line. (The same thing happened, I believe, with the conversation about “Eddies in the space-time continuum.”)

If for some reason you’ve never had the pleasure of reading the Hitchhiker’s Guide series, I greatly recommend it. Douglas Adams also wrote a ton of other things; you can find out more on his Wikipedia page.

And now for some shameless self-promotion. Here’s a fic I wrote back in 2009:

Thursday by K.H. Ivywater

Pairing: Arthur Dent/Ford Prefect Rating: Teen & Up Audiences Length: 1,717 words

Summary: Begins during the end of chapter 31 when they're on Magrathea. Arthur informs everyone he didn't ask to be there.

Excerpt:

Across the ship, Arthur carried a glass of perfectly normal water into his room with grim determination. He was, as they say, a man on a mission.

A plant on his windowsill that he had taken a distinct liking to had been wilting over the past few hours. His mission, as it were, was to save it.

He tilted the glass, splashing water over the orange blossoms for the second time that day.

The unimpressed plant promptly withered and died.

Arthur gaped. Arthur goggled. Then the door to his quarters sighed with pleasure, which Arthur thought was a thoroughly inappropriate response to the situation.

Read on AO3.
