by Susana Polo | 10:19 am, May 6th, 2013

The Whole Hog Theatre company’s Studio Ghibli-acknowledged production of Princess Mononoke is on break for a bit, but will be returning to the New Diorama Theatre in London to play another dozen sold out shows in June. Hayao Miyazaki’s epic has been adapted for live theater with some impressive puppets in place of the many animal and non-human characters, and, in keeping with the movie’s environmentalist themes, they’ve been constructed entirely from recycled items.

Noelle Stevenson Illustrates Famous Fictional Couples from Buffy, Miyazaki, ’90s TV, And More

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:30 pm, March 31st, 2013

There’s a reason we love Noelle Stevenson (a.k.a. Gingerhaze) around here, and the reason is that she draws stuff like this. And her mad skills at depicting ’90s hair and fashion.

The 10 Most Successful Failures in Geekdom

by The Mary Sue Staff | 12:34 pm, March 14th, 2012

There’s a concept on TV Tropes called Fridge Logic, which is what you call it when something totally makes sense at the time you were reading or watching it, but at some point after the viewing, maybe while you were idly staring into the fridge thinking of not much in particular, you realized that there was something fundamentally wrong with it.
