@wolfwood:

Yes merry Swedish Christmas to you all. May your stockings be full of pork, herring and state-run television.

Today i've made a Christmas pizza, and my girlfriend made a Christmas cheesecake. Talk about breaking with food tradition.

… if I could I would slap you but my brother had actually sighed and said that he, too, would prefer to eat pizza or something else (just as scandalous) on christmas eve, just for the hell of it. That was before we went home to mother and saw that she had already made the christmas dinner without us since she'd woken up early.

Ouaaaa!

I just came to say that I had had a fantastic, dozy morning and that it's now christmas so GOD JUL (may all cancers be cureable and may the yule goat give you all the other presents you wish for) but I see that you're talking about norse mythology without me? Jeez, I really need to read this thread more often!

Wolfwood, you should be ashamed of yourself! Description of the gods but not mentioning that Heimdall has 9 mothers or that Frigga also sleeps with Odens brothers (which means she'd def be a dick if she and Oden didn't have this open relationship where they got to bang whoever they wanted)?

Yeah, wow, this is one of the biggest reveal chapters in the entire series and things make a lot more sense now… even with plotholes here and there. But I'm wondering - what's with all these family connections? Why does everyone have to be related? It's getting a bit silly.

My collection! Ta-daa! I started talking about figurines in another thread, started to look around my apartment and felt like I wanted to share some.
This is the only bookcase I have with figurines in it. It's in my living room so it's a lot more tidy than the others, and I intended only to have comics in it but a few books have slipped in here and there due to lack of space in the other ones (I need to replace them with other comics later). I’m proud of this bookcase. I don’t even need to read the comics, I can just stare at it all day. Unlike the others. IKEA ftw.

As you can see my figurine collection is really, really small but I don't need much either. There are actually not too many figurines left that I want (and I actually regret the Luffy/Law one, it's my least favourite - the SnK set is a prize from a contest so it's more like a trophy rather than a figurine and so it doesn’t count).
I want the POP version of Bon Clay, I want Bon Clay and Buggy in their prison uniforms and some other figurines from other franchises. I'll never get the nightmare version of Hatsune Miku or the garage kit of Vash from Trigun by Amie-Grand but one can dream. I have no idea where I'd put them all, I'll probably need to buy even more bookcases in the future. First of all, however, I need more cash to scrape together the things I actually can get a hold of. Since I’m not a super collector I know where to find POP Bon Clay but I don’t know where to get him for a price below £100, or if it’s possible to get him for below that price anywhere. That’s why it takes so long, it’s been easier with the new figurines.

EDIT: forgot one

@Femme:

Niiice xD I'm so used to Canadian Amazon either not having what I want in stock or having it for double or triple the price, and I totally forgot you can probably find things in stock in their international domains. I guess falling prices of merch is one positive thing to come out of the Brexit o.o if I lived there I'd be so tempted to buy all the things.

Yeah, I've been pondering if I should finally get that Bon Clay figurine (the POP one from Megahouse) at last. It's still expensive though and I've already done a lot of things that cost money this month… and I also did a lot of expensive things last month, too. I want it badly, though, it's so wonderful. But expensive. I'd really like to get it under $100 but that's been impossible so far (I'm not a big collector, I only have a few figurines I really like and I'm not a pro when it comes to finding cheap, reliable sellers).

@Femme:

No problem! All I had to do was use a few search terms in French with the character names on the page you provided. Hope you find them for a good price! Amazon seems to be out of stock for all 3 volumes.

Smart! I didn't even notice that their names were on the page. Opsie. Well, I still wouldn't have been able to find the comic with the names, but still! Very smart of you.

And I already bought all 3 albums! I used Amazon UK since I live in Europe and Brexit has the £ lose a ton of value so they were cheap! I pondered about waiting for my next paycheck but decided I didn't want to take any chances.

… Wow. Yeah, it is. Wow. I always thought this forum was awesome but this is more than awesome! Thank you!

Ok, so… many years ago... I actually went to a comic artist school. In that school there was a library stuffed with comics from all over the world. One comic I remember from back then was a french one. We actually only had album nr 2, it was in french and when I asked my teacher where he had got it from he said he'd gotten it from some expo abroad. From what I came to understand the protagonist was a black haired man that would hang out with a blond (short hair) woman and some older dude and they were fighting vampires. There was also this other woman, a vampire with long blond hair and a huge scar that covered half her face, and she knew the protagonist from their childhood (as seen in the picture, it's a flashback). I liked it so much that I used it for an assignment, which is why I have a badly scanned copy of the comic. I erased the text I had written but it was impossible to erase everything.

Anyhow, I asked my classmates (who all remembered it) if they remembered the title (they didn't), and so I figured I would ask elsewhere. It's about time I actually dug it up from the depths of amazon to own it, even if I still barely understand the language it's written in. I know it's on amazon because I looked it up back in the days and it was there but I was a broke student so I couldn't afford it.

So. The comic is... more than 10 years old. And in colour. And it comes in hard cover. And there should be more than 2 volumes. Any ideas?

Worst? Raking gooey, rotten apples. They're not really leaves but kind of and you have to rake them up if you're late with taking care of them. Totally the worst.

Well, I can confirm - ministerstyre is a thing that exists. And is alive and well and thriving. I feel like I should go to work with a bulletproof vest tomorrow, because shots will be fired. Have been fired already, but so far with silencers. I'm going to need a lot of coffee for this.

EDIT: Just got the call from a colleague (head of the union I'm in, and I'm also a board member). There will be negotiations with our boss about the horrible situation we're in… tomorrow. At 7 in the morning. I just got home (after 21) from work and if I hit the sack now I still wont be able to catch enough sleep for the disaster that is tomorrow. And then there's actual work (I think I'll manage to push in an hour, tops, of work), and then I have to rush over for a funeral in the outskirts of nowhere. Well, I don't think tomorrow could get much worse. Oh yes, it could - the coffee shops open at 7, but that's 10 minutes too late. And I wont have time to have lunch. I shall have to aquire great amounts of alcohol after all of this is over.
