Assorted things!

Happy holidays, whatever day whatever holiday your winter holiday falls on falls on!

I've been resisting posting this ALL MONTH, but it's finally time! Little Taiko Boy, otherwise known as the Japanese condom fairy video! (NWS for lyrics, suggestiveness.) Best Christmas Video Ever. :D

"On my tum-tum~"

Found on my friendsfriends list, if I had to have a Christmas tree, I'd love decorating it like this. So creative and amusing! Though you'd have to be careful the company you had over, I suppose.

vorrick found the best music video ever. I love the animation and the music in this! So cool and interesting!

I got lucky with fanfic. I finished Teen Wolf, so I went poking about to see what kind of fanfic there is out there. The first story didn't work for me, but the second? I LOVE IT. And "story" is an understatement! It's a slight AU, with a whole bunch of stories in it! I've been reading it basically nonstop for two days now. Sadly I'm almost to the end. :/ hart_and_sole is the wonderful author.

And lastly, a letter:

Dear ASPCA,

No, I did not want to sob my eyes out at 10:30 this morning. Why, oh why, are your commercials getting worse and worse? Your Christmas animal commercial? "Animals are dying... waiting for your help", showing poor little kittens and sad dogs and arg!

Seriously, I don't know how you pack that much sadness into one commercial. Please stop it.

No love, but many tears,
Thistle

PS: It's a mercy to my friends list that I don't link it here. I don't believe anyone who cares about animals would be able to watch it without crying.

Those fucking ASPCA commercials have ruined that 'Arms of an Angel' song for me forever.

That dinosaur is epic, though. *saves*

This one was SO MUCH WORSE than the Arms of an Angel one! Gah. I feel awful just thinking about it. DO YOU REALIZE ANIMALS ARE DYING WHILE YOU ARE READING THIS? D: D: I mean, of course I knew it on some level, but thanks for making me feel awful all the time, ASPCA!

And ha, isn't that dinosaur one great? :D

"These children need your help!" Meh.

"These animals need your help!" SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yep. Starving children ads make me sad, but abused animal commercials make me cry. I know it's backwards, but... You can't help everything that needs it. :/

You can't help everything that needs it. :/

THIS. It's not like we've got money flying out of our butts - I couldn't actually afford Christmas presents this year - but I still manage to feel guilty about not being able to help everybody and everything! Like, so guilty! Those animal commercials always depress the hell outta me. You'll be sitting around with the family, happy and having a good time, then BAM HERE LET US RUIN YOUR DAY. And the best I can do about it is go home and hug my dog.

I know! I adopted a homeless cat, that should count as a good thing, but NO, they still have to make me cry. On Christmas, too!
