postcardsfromspace:
I hate the Idiot Nerd Girl meme because it’s not just a meme in the diluted ‘net-slang sense.

scienceandphilo asked: I was trying to upset you by making it seem that I thought that you were talking about the video game instead of Jack Kirby but you had to go and ruin my HILARIOUS joke.
scienceandphilo asked: What's your favorite Kirby work? Mine is Nightmare in Dreamland!
calamityjon asked: And speaking of myths, what modern-day city do you think comes closest to maintaining a myth-like status in contemporary imagination?

danielmcbatman asked: What's up with Hati and his hatred of the moon?

whimsyandbrimstone asked: What are your go-to comfort reads (or movies or any other media)?

winskp asked: It was your birthday? did you have a good time? did you get to have any birthday cake? in what ways do you think the celebration of the passage of time according to human perspective as marked by birth represents a innate desire of mankind to fight against the decay and chaotic, fracturing powers of time?
bigredrobot asked: What Kirby comic is your favorite Kirby comic?

Think of it as your belated birthday present to me.
docshaner asked: That confused the hell out of me when I first started talking to you, the whole "is that his real name?" thing. But now if you were to tell me your name is something else I'd never forgive you. People should only use one name online. Love, Doc
scienceandphilo asked: This ain't no question but pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaase write a sci-fi novel secretly about linguistics. It would make the linguistics major in me jump for joy.
