  • Dear Persephone (A Frozen Follow-Up)

    Last week I begged Persephone to return from the Underworld so Demeter would end the polar vortex. After some beseeching, I said that the people of Earth would continue uploading covers of “Let it Go,” Queen Elsa’s epic showstopper from Disney’s Frozen. Well, on Sunday, I woke up to freezing rain, which later turned into…

  • My weekend was Emma Approved

    As you may remember, I’ve been following Pemberley Digital’s latest webseries, Emma Approved. It’s a modern retelling of Jane Austen’s Emma, in which Emma is a professional matchmaker/life coach,  Knightley is Emma’s business partner/accountant, and Harriet is Emma’s personal assistant. In last Thursday’s episode, “Back in Business,” Harriet’s interpretation of Emma’s life coaching took the…

  • Ask A Slave: Thalia and Clio Collaborate

    Clio, as I hope my Thalia’s Musings readers know, is the Muse of History. It’s quite evident that Clio and Thalia have both bestowed their blessings on Azie Dungey, creator and star of the historical comedy webseries Ask A Slave. Ask A Slave is a comedy web series based on the actress’ experiences working at…

  • Twisted: A Very Wicked Disney Musical

    You probably know the musical comedic genius of Team Starkid from A Very Potter Musical and its sequels. What? You’ve never seen A Very Potter Musical??? Well, I’ll have to blog about that some other time, because it’s awesome. Draco is a girl in drag and Zac Ephron is a [SPOILER!] and Harry Freakin’ Potter…

  • Pinterest Fiction: My Imaginary Well-Dressed Toddler Daughter

    This concept is very near the top of my “Why The Effing Hell Did I Not Think Of This First??” list. We all have Pinterest boards that in no way reflect our actual lives, right? If Pinterest had a dime for every not-engaged woman who has a wedding pinboard- oh, wait, it probably does. Anyway,…

  • Scroll Down to Riker

    This one is pretty simple. At this link is a picture of Commander William T. Riker of the USS Enterprise. Scroll down to get a cheesy Riker grin captioned with a cheesy Riker pickup line. Make it so, Number One!

  • The Doubleclicks: Geek Girls with Nothing to Prove

    For this week’s Web Wednesday post, I present The Doubleclicks, one of my favorite musical comedy groups on the internet. In their own words, The Doubleclicks are two sisters, a cello, and songs about dinosaurs, Jane Austen adaptations, dungeons and dragons. They are snarky, geeky, and sweet — and probably touring soon to a city…

  • Batman and Sons: Holy Parenthood, Batman!

    Do you like Batman? No? Begone, spambot! Yes? Then read on, O flesh and blood human, and behold the fancomic that is Batman and Sons. This series, by deviantART user The-BlackCat, puts the comedy in comic books. The premise is Batman being a single dad to his three adopted Robins and the Batbaby that Selina…

  • The Premier of Emma Approved is Amethyst Approved

    I’ll bet I’m the only blogger to use that clever opening. Pemberley Digital, the same web entertainment group who brought us The Lizzie Bennet Diaries last year, has launched a new Jane Austen update based on Emma. The first episode was posted to YouTube on Monday. Emma Approved is as distinct from The Lizzie Bennet…

  • Welcome to Night Vale #WebWednesdays

    It started with Tumblr. It seemed every other post I saw was a joke about something called Night Vale. A very insidey joke. I deduced that there were characters named Carlos and Cecil and something about a dog park and glowing lights and angels and the NRA, but that was about it. After a few…
