Someone wrote a fic on ao3 in the form of a fully playable game of minesweeper

Hi, I was watching VFX film nerd shit and Stan Winston School dropped four months ago that the 1994 IWTV scene where Lestat's throat is cut and he bleeds out.... that's an animatronic puppet with 14 faces transitioning from youthful to decrepit???? This information was literally just dropped after 30 years. That was a fucking animatronic this whole TIME

Also Corridor Crew is a fun fun super educational channel of VFX artists breaking down VFX and this one has Polar Express, Bullet Train, and IWTV!

To be clear, this is the animatronic puppet. This is literally so fucking cool!!!!!!!!

jurassic park but it's tiny elephants and nothing goes wrong 🥺

same score but played entirely on kazoos

Speef is real to me. I'm sorry for that.

OK this passage is goofy in numerous respects but I want to set that aside for a minute and just focus on one thing: "Speef" will always sound like a sound effect, but it's better if you spell it "Spief", right?

This is one of the things I find most peculiar about English: doubled vowels are connotatively infantile, despite being extremely common and the normal way to represent certain sounds which aren't themselves seen that way. It's not the sound at all, it's just the fact that the vowels are doubled! You'll observe that it only applies to digraphs and not to diaereses like "cooperate" or "vacuum". With core vocabulary this fades into the background, but it leaps out with unfamiliar names or words. That's why the British colonial use of "oo" to represent "u" sounds in non-European languages comes off as disrespectful, and (beyond the uncanny-valley effect) it's why English speakers perceive Dutch orthography as inherently ludicrous.

This is insane, right? There's nothing meaningful about whether a digraphic vowel uses two different letters or the same one twice, and as far as I can tell the sounds represented by -ee- and -oo- are totally arbitrary. This isn't written down anywhere and nobody teaches it to second-language learners, it's just this vague vibe you acquire from immersion. What the hell happened there
