Hai guyz!! Okay, I was doing some stupid research about...stuff and ended up on the wikipedia page about Raoul Silva and in turn those for hydrogen cyanide and Silva's island. Here's some semi-interesting crap I found out!
- Cassava roots (the stuff tapioca is made of), cherry stones, apple pips and green potatoes all contain quantities of the poison hydrogen cyanide, which Raoul Silva makes famous in Skyfall by presenting the cosmetic damage caused by the lethal and highly acidic poison he attempted and failed to kill himself with. God, he must've eaten a helluva lot of cherries!!
- His abandoned island is an actual place. It's known as The Dead City and is off the coast of Hiroshima. Much like how Silva acquired it, it was a mining island until 1974 when an explosion caused a full-scale evacuation.
- Silva is not actually gay. Nor is he bisexual; an interview with a combination of Sam Mendes and Javier Bardem confirmed that his odd dress sense, platinum blonde locks and intimidating rape face, stripping 007 and thigh-rubbing was their combined idea to give the villain an intimidating air; it wasn't just him being kinky. Bardem also has a theory that Silva's twisted love/hate relationship with his 'Mommy' may have been sexual or romantic at some stage.
- Silva's prior connections with M were in no way parental. He refers to her as 'Mommy' and 'Mother' throughout the movie as a means of intimidation or causing fear; perhaps even to show (in a perfect world for Silva/M-shippers like myself) rekindled sexual desire. She is not his mother, nor did she adopt him (Lotte, if you're reading this; I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!)
- Silva is possibly the least factually accurate villain in film history. Because;
1. It would take litres of hydrogen cyanide to do that sort of damage to a person's face, though a 12mg suicide implant would have undoubtedly severely damaged his digestive system and would have been excruciatingly painful.
2. If his escape plan took years to map out, how would he know exactly where M would be on that day, where he would be imprisoned and that Q would have to plug his computer into the direct MI6 network, thus opening the gates for a full-scale hack?
3. The removing the cheek prosthesis was a nice touch, but if he was held in the MI6 building, retainers, prostheses and dental bridgework would be removed and disposed of when he was strip-searched (assuming that they had the forethought to do that) as they are potential weapons.
4. On his island; that number of computers would
a) make far too much noise to be heard over
and b) overheat due to there being far too many of them and no fans and spontaneously combust or explode.
5. And how the hell did he survive the cyanide in the first place?
Despite this, he has to be the sexiest Bond villain since Zao
Mr Silva, you're welcome at my place any night <3 ;D

Old Skool Interview Meme with Les Girls
For old time's sake...The doors are locked and Kelly is twenty feet underground in a concrete-lined sex dungeon playing with Farrah's rapist and Hugo, so no interruptions this time. Take it away, Caesar!

1) What is your name?
Seraphina: Seraphina, Daniels or Spitfire depending on whether I'm on or offstage.
Missy: Well, her real name's-
Seraphina: For me to know and you to never, ever find out.
Farrah: I'm Farrah Way, or Finn Williams if you prefer. Finn is short for Phineas because my parents were pretentious wanks.
Darla: I'm Darla Swallows, or Oliver Waite if you're writing me cheques.

What Happens Now?
Where am I going to?
So, from the outset I don't want anybody getting the idea that I'm 'quitting' or whatever. I know a hell of a lot of people on this site are devaintART purists who seem to harbour an outright hatred of Instagram and Tumblr for whatever reason, and are going to jump down my throat about 'abandoning my roots' or whatever the fuck, but hear me out.
I don't know how much I plan to actively use this account in the future - that's to say posting on it. I have every intention of continuing to use the site as I've found friends here that i don't wish to lose touch with. But I have a few things to say.
First and foremost, as I'
Dunfermline Comic-Con 2017
Okay, so after years of waiting, the CC virginity went bye-bye this weekend. As opposed to individually posting all of my photos like an annoying twat, I thought I should just dump the whole thing here and get it over with. Onward!
My full cosplay. I was Jillian Holtzmann from the new Ghostbusters. Jumpsuit from Ebay (I know it's the wrong colour, fuck off,) goggles and gloves from Amazon, I already owned the shoes, and I made the proton pack. Pringles from wherever a person obtains Pringles.
I honestly could not tell you who the bloody hell this guy is meant to be, but he was a total sweetheart, and he asked for my photo, so I had to oblig
Flickerman Torture 2k16
I figured I hadn't done this in a while, after *13foxywolf666 (https://www.deviantart.com/13foxywolf666)'s recent redo of Kelly's last interview. She came up with the fabulous idea of tackling Bernadette Bassinger from Priscilla Queen of the Desert and my Bernadette (whose surname is conveniently Abbey, making her 'Bernadette A', and PQOTD Bernadette 'Bernadette B') So, here we fuckin go
1.
Caesar: What is your name?
Bernadette A: Bernadette Luna Abbey; formerly Bernard Terence Abbey until the age of about sixteen. I also used to be a drag queen, so Seraphina Spitfire is technically also on the list.
Bernadette B: I'm Bernadette Bassinger - haven't always been, but what came

well i can argue with some of the facts about being accurate... not that being inaccurate makes Silva any less appealing
1. that one is true
2. he didn't know where M would be, but he could know about the bunker and it took him years to get the police "cooperating" and stuff like that...
3. that one is probably true
4. a) my computer at work had a new cooler recently and i guess i'm breathing louder than it works now
b) again with nice coolers overheating is not the problem. the inaccuracy here is more about dust - the server room should have been a sort of clean-room, with dust-free environment...
