We made a NEW CRACKED SHOW about QUIETLY AWESOME THINGS! Special thanks to Miki Matteson, @abeepp, Christina Newhall, Dustin Parsons, and my mom.
HEY: if you’d like to see a future episode of Everything Boring Is Awesomeabout a particular subject, lemme know! I’m open to suggestions. Please e-mail suggestions to: alex [dot] schmidt [at] cracked [dot] com.
As someone who is…intimately familiar with this particular subject matter and the industry, let me tell you that all that hoity-toity stuff is surface-level only and that classical music has always been nuts and filled with murderers (looking at you, Gesualdo), druggies (Berlioz…) and all kinds of nutball people (Stockhausen and his Helicopter Quartet, which is literally a string quartet played in four separate helicopters in the air I mean honestly, Karlheinz).
YEAH HABAN AND NARVI ❤ huffy impatient genius and her bestie, the savvy, shrewd businesswoman ftw.
Oooooh dang – well, Narvi’s family exist, but they are Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Fic. However, the awesome @christmashippo has given Narvi a whole family, including siblings! And they are brilliant, so you should go check out Hippo’s Narvi tag 🙂
The Kili and Narvi Elf Appreciation Club and Drinking Society is so, SO definitely a thing. Damn, now I wanna write a one-shot about that!
It’s just the two of them, drinking and saying ‘EARS, RIGHT?’ and ‘LEGS. FOR. DAYS.’ and ‘did yours do the thing with the staring and no-blinking too?’ and sighing a lot. There is most definitely also bitching, lots of bitching.
They routinely bicker over who is president of the Society. According to Narvi, she was appreciating Elves first. According to Kili, the Club was his idea.
(Azaghal is an honourary member for life death. Gimli has been added in-absentia, also )
Galadriel: And for you, Legolas, I give this bow of Lothlorien. Do me a favor and after the war show it to your father so he can see what real elvish crafts look like.
Person A owns a flower shop and person B comes storming in one day, slaps 20 bucks on the counter and says “How do I passive-aggressively say fuck you in flower?”

MY TIME HAS COME
so you’d need a bouquet of geraniums (stupidity), foxglove (insincerity), meadowsweet (uselessness), yellow carnations (you have disappointed me), and orange lilies (hatred). it would be quite striking! and full of loathing.
im no Florist but I thought I’d try my hand at such a beautiful gift of absolute loathing
