Untrue! The Shunned House is the other Lovecraft story with a happy ending!

"The Shunned House" sees young Whipple go in with sulfuric acid, flamethrower, and Crookes tube to fight the "vampire" after it kills his Uncle. He's the original CoC PC.

The plot to the Star Trek reboot makes a lot of sense if you read the ancillary comic book. But why should I need to go to extra-textual sources? I feel that way about Lovecraft's drawings and letters. They're NEAT, they add a lot, but they're not necessary to the text.

My Little Pony's been running on fumes for the past three seasons.

Zuke is deeeeeeeep in the fandom. Which is another reason I'm so pissed those idiots drove her from Twitter.

And trying to outrun the cops.

Mystery Girl isn't giant enough for Greg's tastes.

100% fanservice, from start to finish, and I, for one, have no complaints about that.

I remember when this site used to have a super depressing post to end Friday. And GJI didn't exist.

Really, man? /fit/? I thought you were cool.
