The Russian Santa Claus in Siberia (The eastern part of Russia situated in Asia). He’s known as Ded Moroz.
-Merry Xmas from Universal Beauty 

Winner of the Best-Dressed Santa Award, hands down!

meanwhile this level 100 wizard

Not quite. This is Yakutian Chys Khan, Ded Moroz’s northern “brother”. Russian Federation is a melting pot of different cultures, it’s not just slavs, don’t forget that.

This is Ded Moroz (a.k.a. Father Frost)

wow, don’t forget Snegurochka, his daughter, the snow maiden, who always accompanies him. She has a beautifuk kokoshnik crown that is essentially a big snowflake

or, more contemporarily, a cute toque

don’t leave her out :(

Ooh

Keeps getting more awesome

he actually predates christianity and santa myths, though a lot has been bleeding together over the centuries. Снегурочка (the snow maiden) is his granddaughter though.

Canada is really cold right now. It’s so cold that statues of John A. Macdonald are taking themselves down. It’s so cold that Pamela Anderson is wearing sealskin. It’s so cold that people are warming themselves around Andrew Scheer’s personality.

But don’t take our word for it. Below, a series of shocking statistics to bolster your indignance that somebody thought it was a good idea to put a country here.

Continue Reading.

  • Approximately 0.00003 per cent of Canada isn’t freezing right now
  • A swath of Canada the size of Europe was under an extreme cold warning - That’s a swath of Canada roughly 3,500 km wide. For context, the distance between New York and Mexico City is only 3,400 kilometres. 
  • Canada’s warmest city is still colder than the record lows of more than 30 countries
  • Saskatoon is colder than both the north and south poles
  • Alberta’s warmest place was almost as cold as Mars - for a few minutes, all of Alberta was about as cold as Mars’ Gale Crater
  • Toronto is colder than CFS Alert, the world’s northernmost permanently inhabited place

Why Kevin Price Is Not Straight™

marvoid:

ok so i think about this on like a daily basis??? so here are the completely valid reasons that Kevin Price Is Not A Heterosexual

-“nono i’m not having gay thoughts” “alright! it worked!”

-in the workshop you could basically feel the sexual tension between kev and connor during smhd?? there is no Heterosexual Explanation

-idk if it’s canon but there are people talking about the subtext of kevin being gay on the bom tour etc and things like him pretending to make out with connor/getting a boner during smhd give me life tbh

-mcpriceley is basically canon at this point so,,,

-so you know how kev’s hell dream is basically supposed to be a manifestation of everything he feels guilty about?? like there’s coffee, maple donuts, giant arbold heads,, and then there’s connor in a sexy red outfit and giant boa dancing around flirtatiously??? ((and then giving hitler a blowjob uhh)) does kevin feel guilty about having gay thoughts for connor?? yes

-during tomorrow is a latter day kevin and connor keep glancing, smiling, and waving at each other in a very non heterosexual way

-connor grabs only kevin’s hand when leading him and arnold to the room,,

-when kevin is singing about orlando, the stage’s lighting turns pink((another post covered the topic discussing how the color pink in bom represents homosexuality,, hence the pink vests/con’s suitcase etc etc))

-it may just be me looking too much into it but you know after they finish tap dancing for the first time and all the other elders walk off but kevin stands there still standing in a pose but he looks down and is suddenly kinda aware/shocked for some reason?? was it because he didn’t remember putting it on or was it an “oh shit im gay” moment?? ((probably the first one but shhh))

-when connor says “being gay is bad but lying is worse” he turns to kevin on the first one and arnold on the second uhh coincidence i think n o t

-this goes along with one of my earlier points but during the tap scene in turn it off, the lights go very very pink and that seems,, very familiar,,,, cough orlaaandooooo

-you know when kevin goes to sit down next to arnold while the other elders are still tap dancing and arnold puts a pillow in his lap?? yea h…..

-the elder that says “you’re like the smartest best most deserving elder the center’s ever seen” leans in really close to kevin’s face, and my boy kev just looks so unfazed by it???

-just.. the entire workshop tbh…..it’s not even subtext anymore

-during the entirety of joseph smith american moses kevin and connor are talking to each other and making these faces at each other,,, while standing rly close,,, this is Not Straight

in summary kevin price is a gay icon,, this has been a PSA

EDIT: i forgot the classic: when elder price sings “i’m sure you don’t think i’m a flake, because you’ve clearly made a mistake” and the other elders come in with “turn it off”,, what is that supposed to mean?? kevin is asking god why he made him gay uhh yea you can all fight me on this
  • What she says:

    I'm fine

  • What she means:

    in the Australian version of The Book of Mormon, when Elder Mckinley is showing elder Price and Cunningham where their rooms are, Elder Mckinley grabs JUST Elder Price's hand and holds it until they get to the room. As well as that, at the end of the musical when they're singing Tomorrow is a Latter Day, Elder Price puts his arm around Elder Mckinley and then he does the same and they stay like that until they have to continue dancing

lenarise:

a comprehensive list of how the CW’s supergirl dedicated their weekend to getting their PR team to beg for mercy

  • SDCC had an easy start until it was clear that mon-el (the most hated character) was at the forefront of many conversations and chris wood continued to speak over other cast members and draw attention back to himself 
  • melissa answered a question about her character where she completely ignored the existence of a season long relationship with a beloved black character, james olsen, in favor of saying that her white love interest, mon-el, was kara’s first boyfriend
  • then the supergirl cast sang a song recapping season 2 and jeremy jordan damn near derailed it as he started screaming that kara and lena are friends, they’re oNLY FRIENDS, THEYRE NOT GONNA GET TOGETHER, THEYRE ONLY FRIENDS!! melissa joined in the screaming as well while most of the cast laughed, mehcad brooks deadass started to dance on the spot
  • then melissa and jeremy patted themselves on the back for “debunking” that ship, saying it was “very brave” to do so
  • for no reason whatsoever, chris wood stated that sexuality is at its core, about how other people perceive you and not how you identify
  • then the cw dropped a trailer for a show called The Ray, in which the nazis won world war II and the jewish characters of kara zor-el and barry allen are, hey why not, they’re nazis
  • at the end of the first day, jeremy jordan wrote an apology for his actions so offensive that he had to follow up an hour later with an apology for his apology
  • this weekend it was also confirmed that the character of maggie sawyer is only signed for a handful of episodes before writing her off completely, eliminating the only gay relationship the show has (and apparently, the only one they intend to have)
  • when contacted regarding the homophobic incident at comic con, melissa benoist’s publicist claimed that her client couldn’t be homophobic (she was on glee) and then threatened to sue a black, non-straight fan for implying that she could be
