Sam Starbuck brings the internet TO YOU!

Actually I just ended up with a lot of lolarious links today.

seneska pointed out that xkcd has intriguing timing given what I posted about last night -- I swear I'm not Randall Munroe, though there are days I wish I was.

misswinterhill linked me to a video of BABY SLOTHS OMG WHY ARE THEY SO AWESOME. I especially like the Zen Sloth Monk in the last shot, he looks like he could tell us the secret of the universe but that would spoil all the fun.

hija_paloma linked to this song/vid while making a point about Transformative Works, and I can't stop listening to it. I would be ashamed, but sorry, I'm too busy ROCKING OUT.

And then....there was the Doctorcorn.

So yesterday, in response to my post about my uneasy but awesome relationship with the internet, wildeagain said, "Wow, you're a little like a unicorn. You exist and do not exist." This inspired some awesome filk and also caused me to remark to amand_r and misswinterhill that I'd been called a unicorn. Which inspired the following conversation:

Amand_r: You're visually elusive?  Can only be touched by virgins?  Your blood can bring Voldemort into this world again?
MissWinterhill: Merlin will cry if you die! Don't die, Sam! (You're nowhere near innocent enough to be a unicorn, are you?)
Sam: I don't know that unicorns are all that innocent, are they? They're just attracted to it. Which is kind of ooky now I think on it. UNICORNS. I AM AMBIVALENT.

And then I linked to an image that we had discovered a few weeks before when amand_r linked us, of a famous French porn star named Fred Faurtin dressed as a unicorn. The campest unicorn ever to prance, in fact.



Believe it or not, that's not the funniest photo of the set. You can see the rest here, if you're into it; they're pretty NSFW, even if you don't have a filter, given the close-up shots of a cock encased in pink pleather. (Side note: Fred Faurtin recently released an art book that actually looks pretty awesome; lest ye judge him for the unicorns, this, also NSFW, is from another shoot he did recently.)

ANYWAY. snaxcident took issue!

Snaxcident: The cuffs and collar are non-canonical. They throw me right out of the manicorn fantasy! Everyone knows gay unicorns don't wear bowties!!!!
Sam: BOW TIES ARE COOL OK
MissWinterhill: Oh, pleeeeaase make a doctorcorn.

And then I opened photoshop.



I think he's workin' it, don't you?

(Incidentally, does anyone think that picture makes it look like the TARDIS is sneaking up behind him for some nefarious purpose?)

IT MADE SENSE IN MY HEAD.

[rednwhiterose.livejournal.com]

OMG SLOTHS!!!

They are so awesome and have become my new favorite animal.

[aunty_marion]

You are a Samicorn. *nods firmly*

[laughingacademy.livejournal.com]

I'd seen a shot of the Manicorn via a link in a metaquotes post (http://community.livejournal.com/metaquotes/7384753.html). I did not realize there was an entire photoshoot. GOD I love the Internet.

(Incidentally, does anyone think that picture makes it look like the TARDIS is sneaking up behind him for some nefarious purpose?)

Great. Now whenever I look at that picture I'm gonna hear Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" -- "Eying little girls Eleven with bad intent (duh nuh NUH na nuh nuh)..."

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I just hear the JAWS theme. :D

[bluejeans07.livejournal.com]

O_O

Well... this is not what I expected to see first thing in the morning. But I don't mind. At all.

(Sam, after looking at those pics... I'm not going to draw you as a unicorn).

Can't...breathe. Laughing too hard.

[kallaneboi.livejournal.com]

This is the third time in a week that unicorn guy has popped up on my flist.

And…the Doctorcorn…I…what.

[wonapalei.livejournal.com]

EEEEEE baby sloths! I totally cracked up at the one who went *tip...tip...CLUNK* while clinging to a toy.

And that mashup is a thing of beauty. Incredible the amount of work that had to go into it, and it's amazing how coherent it is.

[rednwhiterose.livejournal.com]

I totally cracked up at the one who went *tip...tip...CLUNK* while clinging to a toy.

OMG ME TOO!!! Actually, I had to "cough politely" as I'm at work. And the one right after that one who was yawning??!? So cute!!!

[kinkerbelle13.livejournal.com]

I fucking love that mashup. The first time my friend played it for me was in the middle of a ridiculous rager of a New Years party and I have had positive associations with it ever since. Seeing it linked here brings me unspeakable happiness.

I have never before had a fondness for sloths. Oh, the realizations this journal brings me to! How many times a day do you hear that, huh?

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I'm in the epiphany business! :D

Oh, honey, NO.

[flyingichthyo.livejournal.com]

Have you seen this link about sloths? I don't want to put you off them, but I guess every now and then we *all* do something a bit bizarre.

Re: Oh, honey, NO.

[flyingichthyo.livejournal.com]

But the ones in your vid are totally cute!! I feel conflicted.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm linking in my next post :)

[ignescent.livejournal.com]

Now, I totally have the image of the Tardis stalking and then kidnapping good (or what she thinks are good) companions for the doctor. Why do you do these things to me?

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

LOL, what a great idea for a fanfic...all you hear is a wheezing noise and a clomping, and then the dude next to you disappears, and there's a metallic sort of burp...and then all is quiet....

[internal666.livejournal.com]

Okay, I couldn't even glance at that photo set without thinking of Always by Erasure.

[nakki.livejournal.com]

[ladyvyola.livejournal.com]

That TARDIS is totally up to no good. It is definitely lurking, loitering with intent to... ?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I RESENT THIS. I LINKED TO THIS MAN. ME ME ME ME MEEEEEE.

HAAHAHAH THAT HOOF KILLS ME.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

LOL SORRY

I CONFUSED YOUR AWESOME WITH CLAIRE'S AWESOME!

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

You realize that you neglected to make us icons.

We're all going to cross the line into crazy-ass manticorn Doctor pervery, the fan community will need a way to proclaim it across the internet with a minimum of fuss.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

You know, I thought about it, but I think it loses something in the shrinkage (don't we all).

[tree00faery.livejournal.com]

The TARDIS thinks Doctorcorn is smexy. *nods*

[libbyalice.livejournal.com]

We do all know the song about how sweet to be a sloth, yes?

A Bradypus or sloth am I.
I live a life of ease.
Contented not to do or die,
But idle, as I please.
I have three toes on either foot,
Or half a doz' on both.
With leaves and fruit and shoots to eat,
How sweet to be a sloth!

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

LOL, I was introduced to the song by metallumai but did not remember it till just now...

[queenfanfiction.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHA OMG SAM stop killing me like this. *wheezes with giggles*

Someone, take away this man's photoshop! It's gettin' dangerous!

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Speaking of things you should be linked to, are you aware that for the first time, a self-published novel has won a mainstream sci-fi award (http://yuki-onna.livejournal.com/583192.html)?

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

AWESOME. Thanks for the link!

[adina-atl.livejournal.com]

I've been to the sanctuary where the baby sloth video was filmed. Those babies are almost lethally cute.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

OMG SLOTH BAAAAABIES

[ysabet.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. Gods. It's, it's My Little Doctor. **falls over** All he needs is a swishy purple tail.

MY BRAIN, IT IS RUINED FOREVER.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Nah, for that he'd need a brand on his ass, too. I'm torn between a Jelly Baby and a TARDIS.

[seneska.livejournal.com]

I have gone from being replied to to being mentioned. I gain a level!

Sneaky TARDIS is indeed sneaky. It's behind corners watching the Doctor stroke his horn.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Level up! Your internet attack increases by 5!

[aunty_marion]

*headdesk* I just realised.

It's not a Doctorcorn.

It's a Whonicorn.

Excuse me, I'll just get my coat...

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

No no no I've got it...

CORNDOC.

[misswinterhill.livejournal.com]

DOCTORCORN! WHONICORN! ♥ ♥ ♥ your crazy photoshop brain! His perfect bald head freaks me out a little. It makes the horn look better, though. TORN. It's hilarious, creeptastic alien bald head or no.

Also, now that you say it, that's one sinister TARDIS. Sort of like the Luggage without the feet!

I don't think I'd ever find anything without you guys bringing the links. ::takes an icon::

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

I think turning him bald, with that pale face, makes him look like Voldemort, that's why he's so creepy :D

[swordage]

I call false advertisement! This is what I expected to see when I clicked on that cut-tag:

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

CORNDOC!
