Putting up the BatSignal

[jadesfire]

I...could use to hear happy things right now, please? It was already a wobbly day full of exhaustion and brain fog, then Another Thing happened. It's to do with a siuation that always gives me something close to a panic attack, but I can't get myself calmed down again, and am still shaking an hour later.

So please tell me something happy. Or send me pictures of happy things. Or...something? I just need to ground myself again, and none of my usual strategies are working.

Archie McPhee for a dose of awesome.

Teddy Bear the porcupine doesn't like to share. Play with sound on!

[jadesfire]

Ooh, I didn't know Archie McPhee! Awesome indeed.

TEDDY!!! I love Teddy SO MUCH. Yes. That is PERFECT. THANK YOU <3

This otter juggling rocks brings me joy maybe it can bring you a little too :)

[jadesfire]

Otters always bring joy! I love it, thank you!

Let's see- Deer and possum scaring each other always makes me laugh.

Or how about some goats with excellent action music

Or...there's always Taking the Hobbits to Isengard, which will make me laugh until the end of time.

I hope the day turns kind.

I went looking for something in my "owls" tag on Tumblr and couldn't find it, but I did (re)discover that owls are comedy gold.

Aww, I'm sorry. I hope things improve. In the meantime, multifandom dancing (if it's not too much on the noisy side): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVJu9AMJJr4&list=PL54C60C073368D46F&index=15 (possibly the most cheering fanvid ever).

This Blackadder/DW crossover is v old and well-known now but still makes me smile.

I make & collect gifs from old telly sometimes. They are v strange, but nevertheless:

I find random melting 70s good fun (I watched too much Classic Who):


Nova Pilbeam's endearing love of dangerous driving from Cheer Boys Cheer (1938)


You can say a lot about 70s BBC, but they know that what you need in a historical drama is a cute but anachronistic monkey:


Wee Margaret Lockwood being adorable.

Important gif of people kissing Patrick Troughton:

These are all fab but WOW, I had forgotten how joyful the Shut Up and Dance vids are. Just what I needed, thank you!

[jadesfire]

Ooh, I read them as they came out, but I love the illustrations, thank you!

[bardsley]

Could I interest you in cute dancing doggie?



How 'bout some positive reminders?



Maybe some Fluffy comedy?

If that doesn't work, sending (ghost) hugs.

[jadesfire]

These are all extremely relevant to my interests, thank you! (I love that dancing dog SO MUCH <3)

[bardsley]

Thank you! It felt good to feel like I was helping someone.

Watch Jimmy Ma skate to rap. My day was made (b/c you just don't see (hear?)that in figure skating): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVHxI2ertdI
(watch quick, the vids keep being taken down or music off for copyright, this one is already missing the commentary from johnny weir which was hilarious)

I cried with laughter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ckXpTEWwbI

I laughed even more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPmF_2etYrA

Hope they cheer you a bit!

[jadesfire]

...what even is Japanese TV? Those are glorious, thank you!

And I love ice dancing. I don't follow it, but that's a great routine, thank you!

[badly_knitted]

A bit late, but the Ferret Dance always cheers me up!
