Armadillos. Susan Bones. Community. Doctor Who. Scrooge McDuck. James K. Polk. And all that sort of thing.

I’ll bet people started writing Man of Steel fanfic last year, after the first teaser trailer was released.

And the first AO3 fic for Man of Steel was Jan. 2013. I bet ff.net was getting them earlier than that, though. :)

Well, of course I had to check this out. It seems that ff.n doesn’t have a separate category of Man of Steel fics, but looking back through the Superman category under Movies, I found “Man of Steel” by Mcrowder07, a fic “set in and based on the new Man of Steel movie,” the first chapter of which was published in August 2012.

This pictures of classical statues dressed in contemporary clothes are amusing, but it really draws attention to how good those classical sculptors were. Without the clothing, it’s easy to overlook how perfectly natualistic the poses are. More photos at the link.

RE: IS THERE FANFICTION YET?! Something I was thinking on my drive home after the movie. :) I hope, if any of you find something lovely, you post recs!

Oh, I totally will! :) Just got back from my trip, so once I recover and catch up on things that I need to do today, I’ll go a-trollin’ for some good ones.

here's that bad advice you were hoping for: My Husband Failed To Properly Honor Me With His Father's Day Present →

Miss Manners, 15 June 2013:

DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband and I have been married 12 1/2 years. He once lost his original wedding band, and we got another one. (Maybe 10-plus years ago — a while back.) Today, he “surprised” me with his Father’s Day gift of a new wedding band.

Thanks to @violincatherine for bringing this to my attention, since Tumblr didn’t even though I checked my #armadillo tracked tag at least twice today.

John Ham of Animal Tales holds a Screaming Hairy Armadillo

Samantha Bilharz, Journal Gazette & Times-Courier staff writer:

CHARLESTON - Shrieks of excitement could be heard from the audience as animals from all walks of life were showcased at the Charleston Carnegie Public Library on Wednesday.

John Ham, a naturalist with “Animal Tales,” brought a Paraguayan screaming hairy armadillo, Harris hawk, African spurred tortoise, Egyptian fruit bat and a Woma python to the library, and these creatures came from all over the world for kids and their parents to enjoy.

We never got cool stuff like this at the library in Wheaton.

5 quirky things to do in Dallas this weekend: See armadillo races, hollering kids, juggling and more →

If Wisconsin had to be more like Texas, why didn’t we choose to hold armadillo races instead of electing a government led by reactionary sociopaths intent on reinstating 19th-century social norms?

I’m still disappointed Susan Bones didn’t appear in more of the HP movies.

This picture of an Argentine armadillo has inspired me to replace words in songs from Evita with “armadillo.” To wit: On this night of a thousand armadillos / Let me take you to heaven’s door Oh but it’s sad when an armadillo dies Another armadillo in another hall We have declined to an all-time low / Armadillos have become the set to know Peron has resigned from the army and this we avow / The armadillos are those he is marching with now Don’t cry for me, Armadillo / The truth is I never left you A cross between a fantasy of the bedroom and an armadillo I’m their armadillo, that’s what they call me / So Lauren Bacall me, anything goes But on the other hand, she’s all they have / She’s an armadillo in their dull gray lives The descamisados still worship me—we arrived thanks to them and no-one else; / no thanks to your generals—a clutch of stuffed armadillos!

This picture of an Argentine armadillo has inspired me to replace words in songs from Evita with “armadillo.” To wit:

  • On this night of a thousand armadillos / Let me take you to heaven’s door
  • Oh but it’s sad when an armadillo dies
  • Another armadillo in another hall
  • We have declined to an all-time low / Armadillos have become the set to know
  • Peron has resigned from the army and this we avow / The armadillos are those he is marching with now
  • Don’t cry for me, Armadillo / The truth is I never left you
  • A cross between a fantasy of the bedroom and an armadillo
  • I’m their armadillo, that’s what they call me / So Lauren Bacall me, anything goes
  • But on the other hand, she’s all they have / She’s an armadillo in their dull gray lives
  • The descamisados still worship me—we arrived thanks to them and no-one else; / no thanks to your generals—a clutch of stuffed armadillos!
