Bertie Wooster’s YouTube channel consists entirely of keyboard covers of Top 40 hits.
His videos are noted both for startling competence and for frequent pauses in the proceedings to yell at someone off-camera, “Jeeves, all this ‘Gaga ooh-la-la’ stuff seems pretty straightforward, but what on earth do you suppose she means by ‘Rama ra-ma-ma’?”

THIS IS THE MODERN AU OUR FANDOM DESERVES

A new novel series about Kyoshi has been announced! The first book in the “epic YA saga”, The Rise of Kyoshi, is hitting shelves in July 2019!!
This is a big surprise and a very welcome one at that! The author is F.C. Yee with Mike DiMartino consulting, and the series will tentatively be (for now) two books long, and cover, as the title suggests, the rise of the Earth Kingdom Avatar we all know and love, with this synopsis to go on so far:
“The first of two novels based on Kyoshi, The Rise of Kyoshi maps her journey from a girl of humble origins to the merciless pursuer of justice who is still feared and admired centuries after she became the Avatar.”
The senior vice president of the publisher for the books had this to say:
“Bringing Kyoshi’s previously untold story to life in original novels will be a major pop culture event, not only for fans of the show, but also for readers hungry for a new epic YA saga. The Rise of Kyoshi has all the hallmarks of what YA readers love — bold storytelling set in a rich landscape with a strong heroine at the forefront!”
This is a really cool development for the franchise and will hopefully open up the avenue for more books about different time periods and characters from the world of Avatar, something we’ve been asking for for a long time!
The Rise of Kyoshi is 336 pages long, it’s coming out in July 2019, and it can be preordered here.
Y’ALL I’M FREAKING OUT!!!!!
“Shh, it’s alright,” the villain said. “You’re doing beautifully and I’m so proud of you. But that’s enough now. It was cruel of them to make you fight me – you could never have won. It’s not your fault.”
The ancient and powerful villain may have had a calm and gentle face as he spoke, but he was furious, not at the hero, but the gods for continually sending kids and teenagers to fight their battles.
Here’s what I promised. Enjoy.
consider: la la land, but with lesbians
Black lesbians so that the film doesn’t grossly whitewash jazz and the actual struggles black musicians went through 🙂
Consider: La La Land with black lesbians played by actresses who can actually sing and dance so instead of being a lack luster imitation of the golden age musical it is the sparkling revival of the genre with modern sensibilities.
