I might have mentioned that a little while ago those of us who spend time more than our fair share of time at FGC got to have a hiyacynth for a whole weekend. It was most delightful. And while she was up here she gave me the most wonderful Star Trek shirt in the history of forever! And what made it double-plus awesome was that I'd just been lamenting a few weeks before about how I didn't own a Star Trek fan-shirt even though I have a hobbit, a SW, a zombie, a dirty-joke-about-lawyers, a Narnia tote bag, and 2 SPN shirts and then hiyacynth gave me the most perfect thing ever!!!

She is so the awesomest.

She also gave me a very interesting book about female superheroes called The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, and the History of Comic Book Heroines which you all know is right up my alley.

I have the greatest friends.

Oh, and because dodger_sister has been bugging me, I finally took and uploaded pictures of the infamous Apoca-box that she and baylorsr created.



The top of the box, clearly inscribed with its character and a warning that opening before the Apocalypse may cause the Apocalypse. With bonus custom Devil's Trap.



A side view. Note how prominently displayed the fire starter is.



The contents of the Apoca-box, which include but are not limited to: toilet paper, antiseptic wipes, soap, a first aid kit, rope, light sticks, thermal blankets, aqua pura, a fire starter, hand sanitizer, Apocalypse How, toothpaste&toothbrush, water, a wind-up radio, the Going Rogue coloring book (a sign of the Apocalypse if ever there was one) and a red binder full of important info about how to do things like make soap from scratch, wilderness first aid, food storage, how to clean what you hunt, and other survival techniques. Not shown: a bag of peanut M&Ms that needs to was mysteriously eaten and needs to be replaced.



Yes, I opened the Apoca-box. So if the Apocalypse happens now you know who'll get the credit. Come on zombies!

In conclusion: I've decided to dress up as a 60's housewife for Halloween (Donna Reed or Mad Men s.1 Betty Draper) which will be extra-awesome considering this year's official Halloween theme is zombies. I will bake you cookies, chain smoke, and then eat your brains!!!!

AWESOME!

P.S. I highly approve of wilderness first aid reference materials as inspiration for fanfic!

Naawww! The most awesome thing about your birthday subtle!Geek ST shirt is your very own awesome.

Which totally makes sense in my head.

Also? That box? Rocks. The fire starter!

I'm glad to see that you're properly prepared, especially because we know full well that the end is very fucking nigh.

OMG this is AWESOME! Every one should own one. Especially Supernatural fans. I bet you could sell thousands at a convention on the humor factor alone! O really really want one now! The lid had me giggling before I even knew what was inside would be useful.

I'm slightly disappointed. I mean, you opened the box - several times - and yet the Apocalypse is not here. Where is it? I wants one! I wants one! (the apocalypse, not the box - though the box would be good.) I've had a request for the booklet, but I don't know how to explain the Taylor thing. So, heh. Thank you for uploading these. Now there is prove that FGC is full of genius. (it was just a wild and crazy rumor before)
