If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading
Finally! My partner talks about this non-stop every holiday season and literally pauses the movie to back out and watch this scene from the extras section every time she re-watches it (and I love her for it ❤) and I've seen reddit threads going back several years now discussing how Disney has talked about adding it back into the movie on D+. Seemed like it was maybe just forgotten, but it's finally happening!!
If you don’t start leaking out of your eyeholes during at least ONE song from the Muppet Christmas Carol soundtrack, then I have some CAPCHA’s for you, cuz you ain’t human.
My weaknesses are When Love is Gone, Bless us All, and It Feels Like Christmas.
I also maintain that whoever made the decision to CUT the When Love is Gone scene from the movie was Evil Incarnate. It gutted one of the most emotional scenes in the movie and broke the flow terribly.
In case you’ve never seen it:
ETA:
APPARENTLY Disney+ is finally making things right and will have the FULL (“Director’s Cut” psssh!) available starting DECEMBER 9th!!! FINALLY
Referring to specific phrases as easter eggs instantly reminded me of “Nita nodded” in Young Wizards 😁 It’s just one of those phrases that sticks out to me every single time it happens, whenever I read YW I’m like waiting in anticipation for the next occurrence of it!
so i just googled the phrase “toeing out of his shoes” to make sure it was an actual thing
and the results were:
it’s all fanfiction
which reminds me that i’ve only ever seen the phrase “carding fingers through his hair” and people describing things like “he’s tall, all lean muscle and long fingers,” like that formula of “they’re ____, all ___ and ____” or whatever in fic
idk i just find it interesting that there are certain phrases that just sort of evolve in fandom and become prevalent in fic bc everyone reads each other’s works and then writes their own and certain phrases stick
i wish i knew more about linguistics so i could actually talk about it in an intelligent manner, but yeah i thought that was kinda cool
Get Our Whole Store For $44, Black Friday (-7) Edition
Seriously, I resent the whole Black Friday thing. Yet if you don’t do it, people think maybe you’re not serious about selling your stuff. (heavy sigh) …Fine. But can we maybe get it over with a week early? Because I hate interrupting people’s holidays.
Many of our Tumblr friends know what this particular discount offer is about: they’ve seen it before. (Last time it was about replacing a dying computer. Which has indeed happened, and we’re waiting for its replacement to arrive: thanks to all who assisted!) …But sort of fifteen hundred or two thousand more people are following this account than were last week about this time (and y’all are very welcome!), and I can’t help but wonder if maybe some of them would like some of this action: a lot of books for CHEAP. (…I mean, thirty-five novels and short works for $44? Looks bargain-ish to me.)
The list of the books on offer is on the product page linked to below. The New Millennium Editions of the Young Wizards novels are there, and all the current Middle Kingdoms works, and a lot more.
…So! For the next twenty-four hours, you can get our entire ebook store’s inventory for USD $44. Just go to this URL and put one of the “I Want Everything You’ve Got” packages in your shopping basket (make sure to tell the page which ebook format you want/need: Kindle, Nook, Kobo, iBooks/Apple or generic .epub), and then proceed to the checkout. You’ll find (when you’re in the checkout: it won’t do this until then) that the store applies your discount automatically, like this:
…Then you just make the payment by whatever method you prefer, and the store emails you the download links for the files.
(BTW, in case anybody accidentally just goes straight to the main product link [which doesn’t auto-attach the discount], the discount code is EVERY24. That way if it’s missing from the field in the checkout page, you can put it in yourself.)
…Anyway: Enjoy, all! Thanks for taking the time to check this out. And if this offer’s of no interest to you, would you please consider reblogging it for the attention of others who may? Please & Thank You. :)
(And one last note: UK folks—to our great annoyance, we can’t include you in this offer… so please forgive us. Due to Brexit we can no longer sell direct into the UK. Details on that are here. …Our apologies again.) :(
Concept: You walk outside one night and notice that there are two full moons. A few hours go by and they don’t seem to move.
You stare up at them.
They blink.

We’re extending the Ebooks Direct “Get Our Whole Store For $44″ Sale by 5 hours
…Because we can. (And because it looks like some extra people will be wandering in due to an unexpected crossposting on Twitter…)
This means it’ll be closing down at 23:59 Irish time / 12:59 Hawai’ian time, today, 1 September 2022.
For those of you who haven’t seen them before, the details are below:
Just for Tumblr users – for the next 5 hours or so (until 12:59 Hawai’ian time on 1 September 2022), get 20% off the price of the already-discounted package containing the entire contents of our Ebooks Direct store. With the extra discount, that’s $44 for the whole thing!
I had some murmurs in my ask box over the last ten days or so from folks who were sad that they’d missed out on earlier iterations of this sale, for one reason or another. And when I mentioned this to @petermorwood, in his usual direct way he shrugged and said, “Well, why not just do it again?”
…And frankly, that made perfect sense. Some people are getting ready to start one version or another of the New School Year, and might possibly enjoy having some extra reading to distract them. And other people might just want to top up their electronic TBR piles on the relatively-cheap. And who knows how many other reasons people might have. So why not?
Therefore: if you’d like to avail yourself of this genuinely around-the-bend bargain price* on the whole-store 35-book package, just go to this URL, put one of the “I Want Everything You’ve Got” packages in your shopping basket (make sure to tell the page which ebook format you want/need: Kindle, Nook, Kobo, iBooks/Apple or generic .epub), and then proceed to the checkout. (The fully discounted price won’t show until you get there: this is just the way the store behaves when we’ve already got an across-the-board discount running.)
In the checkout page you’ll find the store has applied your extra discount automatically, like this:
…Then you just make the payment by whatever method you prefer (we do credit cards via Stripe, as well as PayPal), and the store emails you the download links for the files. (If you need assistance with getting the files into your e-reader or app, we’ve got a page at the store with useful advice on that.) And from over here I will applaud you for your general wonderfulness, and get back to work.
(BTW, in case anybody accidentally just goes straight to the main product link [which doesn’t auto-attach the discount], the added-discount code is EVERY24. That way if it’s missing from the field in the checkout page, you can put it in yourself.)
Anyway: Enjoy, all! And if this offer’s of no interest to you, would you kindly consider reblogging it for the attention of others who might like to know about this? Those reblogs really help.** Please & Thank You! :)
(Oh, by the way—! UK people, one [sad] thing: we can’t include you in this offer… please forgive us. Due to Brexit we can no longer sell direct into the UK. Details on that are here. …My apologies for that.) :(
*Because seriously, $44 for 35 ebooks isn’t too bad…
**Especially since I don’t really care to Blaze posts like this. Properly speaking, Blaze is for shitposts. (Like the Duckie of Light.) :)
