“I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive breast cancer in September of 2011. In October I started chemo, and soon found that just didn’t have the energy to go anywhere or do anything.

When Skyrim came out, it was my life saver, because I could escape and spend hours in this immersive world. Even if I didn’t have the energy to follow any quests, I would just “go for walks” around the landscape. Even just listening while someone else played felt soothing and meditative, because the music would lull me to sleep.

I sincerely thank the makers of Skyrim for helping me get through five and a half months of chemo, a mastectomy, and seven weeks of radiation.

It’s more than a year and a half later now, I’m (so far) cancer free… and I’m still playing Skyrim regularly.”

Anon, this legit made me teary. Congratulations on being cancer-free.

Gotta say, Mark killed it but I think Chris Evans is really underrated. He’s credible in Cap’s serious moments and comic moments, and I suspect that’s not an easy balance to hit. I really don’t want anybody to be recast!

Any science bros fanfic recommendation?

Except for pendulum by zphal and the one percent by devriot (oh how i love both of your fics! Update soon btw)

Permanency by the_wordbutler is AMAZING. It’s an attorneys!AU and it is simply beautiful. There is some really delicious angst and tension as Bruce and Tony slowly inch toward admitting what’s between them, yet there’s also a lot of happiness and maturity as well - they act like actual adult men in this story, for better and worse. Can’t recommend this enough!

Okay, so I love the fact that Tony treated Bruce like he would anyone else. Science Bros is my BrOTP for Earth 199999. However, credit needs to be given where credit is due.

Steve Rogers actually did treat Bruce like a human being. Yes, he tiptoed around the good doctor,…

As a massive Science Bros/Boyfriends fan, THIS. The “only word I care about” scene was one of my favorite moments in the movie.

{Specht Harpman have executed a renovation on a micro-loft in Manhattan, New York. It is a testament to good space planning and design! I could live here, though I’d probably want a bigger cooktop!}

From Specht Harpman

This apartment was one of the most unusual residential renovation projects we’ve ever been involved with. Located at the top of a brownstone on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, the footprint was a tiny 425 square feet, but the space stretched vertically for approximately 25 feet, and had access to a roof terrace. As it existed, the arrangement was so awkward that there wasn’t even a reasonable place to locate a bed or a couch.

Our solution created four separate “living platforms” inserted within the space that provide room for all the essentials and still allow the apartment to feel open and light-filled. The lowest level is an entry and kitchen space, and a few steps up is the main living area. Above the living area is a cantilevered bed pavilion that projects out into the main space, supported on steel beams. A final stair leads up to a roof garden. All the spaces flow into one another and the idea of distinct “rooms” is dissolved; in fact, the only door within the space is the one into the bathroom.

Given the miniscule size of the apartment, every inch of space is put to use. Stairs are not merely for circulaton through the apartment, but feature built-in storage cabinetry and drawers below. The main bath and shower, in fact, are also built below the primary staircase. The kitchen featured fully concealed appliances, flip up high storage units for easy access, and a countertop that wraps into the main living space, becoming a virtual “hearth” with built-in entertainment system. There are no traditional closets in the entire apartment.

Materials throughout are selected to emphasize the spatial characteristics of the project. The perimeter is light, with painted (existing) brick, glass backsplashes and shelving, and white lacquered kitchen cabinets, stair cabinets, and fittings. The cantilevered bed pavilion is clad in dark wood, and anchors the space – a central object around which everything revolves. A dark wood floor and wood stair treads lead through and around the apartment, spiralling up onto the wood deck at the roof. Given the number of built-in features, furnishings are minimal in number, with only a couch, coffee table, bed, and a side chair necessary.

Dream home!!!

“Once I was wandering the Rift with my husband Vilkas. We came across a hunters’ camp, and took advantage of the available bedroll to sleep an hour. Then the “Lover’s Comfort” message appeared. I imagine those hunters still talk about the time two strange adventurers ran up, had sex in one of their bedrolls, and then went on their merry way never to be seen again.”

Because "Mark Ruffalo Trolls Woody Harrelson" Is A Slightly Mean Headline

Woody Harrelson hypnotises Mark Ruffalo

Woody Harrelson hypnotised Mark Ruffalo while making ‘Now You See Me’ - and the cast tricked him into thinking it worked.

The actors form part of an all-star cast for Louis Leterrier’s upcoming heist thriller about a group of magicians who rob a bank, and in order to prepare for the role, all of the stars learned magic tricks which led to a prank on set.

Leterrier explained: ‘Everybody had to learn magic on set. Woody Harrelson went out to bars and tried to hypnotise people. He tried it on Mark Ruffalo and we all pretended that it worked. Woody was so freaked out. He was like, ‘I did it! I don’t know how, but I did it!”

Mark Ruffalo (41/100): in Now You See Me

Q: You’ve played a police officer before, but what’s different about Dylan?
A: He’s kind of a rogue, he’s kind of mangy and a little sassy. Most of the cops I’ve played are pretty straightforward cops. He’s much more kind of an outsider, you know? They call it a street agent, you know. There’s desk agents and street agents basically in the FBI. He’s kind of unorthodox and he loves being on the street and he’s tough and he doesn’t shave, he doesn’t really follow the rules. He’s something of a lummox. He’s always screwing things up, but does it with a lot of authority.

You had me at sassy, good sir.

FWIW, anon, I totally agree. I thought the Companions’ stated reasons for staying out of the war were kind of weaksauce. The other guilds have justifiable reasons for not getting involved - the Thieves’ Guild is in shambles when you first join, the College of Winterhold is regarded with fear and suspicion and probably don’t want to stick their necks out, and the Dark Brotherhood doesn’t seem to give a shit about politics in Skyrim. The other thing I wondered is, if the Companions “show up if the coin is good enough,” why don’t either the Imperials or the Stormcloaks just try paying them to fight on their side?
