And what grand magnanimity that is, considering they basically eloped with a bunch of Celts. Oh well, the Lannisters House of Glücksburg send their regards.

It didn't come for free of course, Norwegian kings were always quick to identify a tree-starved Icelander so the usual proceedings went 1) force/blackmail them into Christianity (optional), 2) send them to kill a few berserkers because nobody likes berserkers but it would be a shame to lose one's own men fighting them and 3) get them to compose complicated poetry on how you're the awesomest king.

Is it a law of nature that taking just a 30 minute nap on the couch should make one feel seriously hungover for the rest of the evening? Seems that way.

Yes. There's no easy wake-up power naps, only horrible, dizzy tiredness that lasts the rest of the evening and then you can't get sleep at night.

Thank Fimby, now "The Rains of Castamere" are playing somewhere in my head.

That sounds like a definite Fimby-yes.

Those were the good days. The best days. Nowadays they don't even have to compose a gratitude song, they just take a tree and leave with nary a thanks.

Well well well, not bad. If only we had any idea what they're singing.

That guy with the beatboxing is mighty smug looking.

Step 1. Make graveyard-shift-at-the-ER grade coffee.
Step 2. Drink coffee.
Step 3. Sleep for 20 min.
Step 4. Wake up just as caffeine kicks in.
Steps 5-n. PROFIT

A single tear rolls down Curry's cheek as they realize they have no online banking account and therefore no way to pay for this beautiful wallpaper.



But no seriously, it looks so pretty and I'm so jealous of you guys :'3c

At least it will be available for free when the next set goes up? If I'm understanding correctly. But I can understand wanting to have it Right Now. : D

I'll make new wallpapers every couple months or so, and the "old" wallpapers will then be available for free for everyone.

So it does look like that, yes! You'll just be waiting... a while. '3'

Of course it is ! ;) Moreover, having a job interview is always a good thing.

Yess! I was really excited when they called me! :D


AHHH, this new wallpaper is gorgeous!!

I'm from the poor part of the fandom, so I'm just going to wait until I can get it for free...
