Fandom Radio, Tuesday (9/19)
Denizens of Fandom! That was "My Love Mine All Mine" by Mitski, and you're right here on our very own WTFH, possibly the only pirate radio station founded by a literal pirate.
What's up, everyone? Can you believe we're already more than halfway through --
*apprehensive chitters and trilling*
Stephtember?
*squirrel and porg groans*
Listen, the only thing groanworthy here is that I blew two opportunities to say that. Consider me duly shamed. As my penance, I will now take these notes from my tiny rum-swilling colleague and deliver to you, Fandom folks, the news. Starting with Classes!
First off was Evolutionary Science for Beginners, where they learned exactly what evolutionary theory is. And if you think it's surprising that a class might have to devote some time to explaining its basic principle, you haven't been on the internet. In Practical Folklore, Jon apologized for missing last week's class and then decided to start by discussing vampires. Gotta go with the classics before you really get to the deep cuts, right? And Try Not to Die had to get through a party -- a diplomatic party where they had to make small talk while Anakin tried to foil their attempts at socializing with an agenda. You know, I thought that class title was a little bit extra at first but nope, nope, it's definitely fitting.
Hey, intern porg?
*trilling?*
Any Dorms notes?
*long pause*
*pitiful little trilling noise*
*muffled sniffling*
Oh no. I'm sorry I asked, dude. Okay? Here, watch this video of the chocolate guy making a giant chocolate balloon dog and it'll cheer you up.
So in Town, Liliana had what the squirrels assure me are actual, for-real flying carpets available at the Infinite Consortium, so hopefully some of you thrillseekers took advantage of that. Apu was complaining to Summer at Turtle and Canary about how he decorated the store for World Bamboo Day and the cheese panda ate it, and Summer pointed out that... hello, panda. Sorry, man, that bamboo was doomed from the start. Stark stopped by to bring her a pumpkin spice latte that was definitely not made with monkey poop coffee on his way to the --
*CLANG*
Leroy, so help me, if you kick that trash can over onto yourself, I am not rescuing you. No, I'm not calling the fire department to do it either. The clinic. That's where Stark was headed, but more on that in a bit. Nell was super productive at Covent Garden Flowers, if a little bit... hang on, let me see if I can make this sound the way it's written. Distraaaaaaaaaaacted. Okay, not really. I tried, but I can't verbally convey all the little swirls and glittery squiggles written on this note. At Diaz & Ass., people were being Wrong on the Internet and Rosa took it upon herself to tell them so. Like, a lot. Prompto was going through a bunch of animal pictures at the Photo Hut, which he showed to Liz and Noctra when they came down for the customary lunchtime visit.
The games at the Magpie Emporium are starting to change with the season, so Vi put together a fall-themed selection. Because yes, in case you were wondering, there is actually a strategy board game about photosynthesis. Anyway, in keeping with the theme, I provided lavender tea lattes and scintillating conversation, thank you very much. Over at the Magic Box, Eliot was super Not Dealing With a large shipment of lucky bamboo that was technically none of the above but might be magic? Magic items in a magic store. Preposterous, right?
At the Devil's Nest, Eric was judging both Tiny's pumpkin carving skills and his judgment in deciding to start decorating with carved pumpkins already. Excuse you, Tiny, that's for October. This is Stephtember, and I also say it's too early. Gladio got to hear about how Eric had to miss the party on Friday because he had to go to New Orleans for a meeting that didn't have to be one, and bolstered Eric's poor fragile self-esteem by assuring him he looks awesome in formal wear.
Over at the Fire Station, Eddie was trying to figure out where to put what might be a literal ton of kid-sized firefighter hats. Good luck with that, dude. Meanwhile, Trooper Station Steve brought in a bunch of homemade challah and told the troopers they'd have to answer to Danny's family if they didn't eat it all.
And finally, because I said we'd get back to the Clinic, Stark got there to find Stabby also carving a pumpkin, but rest assured, it wasn't a real one, because that could get messy in a tank. Hey, Stabby, maybe once that's done you can donate it to the museum!
Hey, there's a question. If you have a section of a museum dedicated entirely to a gallery of crab-made artwork, can you really call it a wing? Ponder that one for a while. And on that note, dear listeners, I'm going to leave you until next week. You're welcome.
